Thread about Prog for Drugs!

The second constructive response on this thread,thanks Tony R!Might be that I was over-reacting in this point. I've had as well a few sad examples of drug abuse in my closer relationship. In fact I did not have the time to read through all of these 1000++++ posts because it was during my working time. So I was not able to count how many pros or cons there were. I admit we should have the freedom to discuss even such "hot" topics and I'm not for censorship at all although in case of some things a certain amount of control is absolutely necessary without immediate association with right-winged attitude. I've got always a more left-wing and liberal one, but unfortunately considering certain people absolute freedom is not perfect as well. Actually I really wouldn't like to be a moderator on this site.Tough job!!!!

Although I agree that the thread topic is provocative,I dont like the idea of any subject being taboo.Yes we have young people on the forum but there is far more counterbalance of opinion on the thread than these people would find out in "the real world." The way I view the thread is that some people do advocate taking drugs,but most posters seem to be saying "be careful" which is good advice.A reasonable analogy is the one of adolescant sex,kids are going to have intercourse,lets make sure they take precautions. Besides some of our more imaginative forum members are just playing the "pissing up the wall" game....

Many thanks for the support  barbs. Would be really nice if there would be more of us!!! Obviously there is plenty of unreasonableness around the world!

I don't do drugs at all.

Never have.

Right where's my crisps

shut up it is just a discussion you prat.

Is this the kind of language you're using when you discuss? I could easily adapt to your low level but  don't like to humiliate myself. Just send a few more posts like this and I report you to be banned!!!!

I object to being called unreasonable, just for not sharing your opinion!

Well that's YOUR opinion. If you're taking drugs what you obvously do according to your posts you have to reckon to be called unreasonable!

Thanks nacho, obviously you realised that your initial assessment of that thread being only about USING drugs and not ABUSING was not quite right. In fact I was quite shocked how many people are obviously not only consuming so called "soft drugs" as weed but really harder and very dangerous stuff. And I doubt that all of them are mentally mature enough to handle such harmful stuff.

We always have to be aware that there are as well very very young visitors at this site who are still to be iinfluenced very easily. That is mainly my concern why I was starting this thread here!!!

IMO there should not be applied double standards here. Drugs are as dangerous (or even more) as porn for young kids!!!!

hdfisch, you exaggerate big time!  if the kids are intelligent enough to find out about prog, then they are intelligent enough to know about the dangers of drugs.  you seriously don't expect people to read this forum and take things to heart, let alone using the opinions of people here to go out and do drugs - do you?
