Do you think dangerous substances like cigarettes and alcohol should be banned, not only from the youth, but from everyone?
You are talking to a cigar smoking wine drinker 8)
Stefano
P.S. I like beer too, but while eating I prefear wine, for after lunch
we already had our top ten alcoholic beverage poll, so I won’t repeat it here 
and destroy the economy?? take away my right as an american??
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR EVER LOVING MIND!!!
it’s already been done!!! have you eve heard of the prohibition? in the thirtys ALL alcohol was banned. what you want will be over thrown just like the prohibition. i don’t like drugs or cigs, but if you want another depression? then go ahead and do this. apparently you have put no thought into this.
drugs are banned but millions still get ahold of them!!!
:-? :-?
BTW-s68 you crack me up!
um those are already banned from minors, or little kids cuz thats what they are.
I actually believe that the lesser illicit drugs should all be unbanned, then regulated and taxed as an industry the same way that cigarettes and alcohol are.
I don’t smoke, and I really don’t like it. But if someone wants to, let em. As for alchol, I have to get ready for wing night, I couldn’t pass up chicken and beer.
acasto: fried chicken, or baked? and what kinda beer? j/k 
I usually get the BBQ wings and the nights special, which I think on Wed. is rolling rock.
mmmm…buffalo wings. 
ok aorry fo the thread hijacking. i just don’t think theres anyway in #%$& that there will ever be another prohibition.
threre are more groups supporting legelization of drugs.
Why spend 15 billion dollars a year fighting the war on drugs when you could make 5 billion dollars a by year taxing them, then spend the 15 billion on education, rather than screwing with some poor third world farmer that doesn’t have a pot to piss in, and spend the 5 billion on rehab.
i think alchohol should not be banned (just watered down like american beer)
but i think cigs should be banned in ALL PUBLIC PLACES including resaurants, parks, streets, and hotels.
they should be taxed like crazy (more than now)
and redesigned so that smoke only goes into the SMOKERS LUNGS not into the air.
if someone is drunk and they kill someone in a crash (death penalty) cause its murder. and they should enforce warning labels on the bottles.
smoking harms everyone around therefore taking away a persons rights to not smoke if ther are close to someone!!!
if somthing has a direct negative effect on someone other than the person choosing it then it should be resricted or banned.
like cars they should be banned.
and guns
and dogs
and cats (except ones with squished faces)
and rubbish
and sueing people
and having sex with minors (oh whoops that already banned)
and religion
and democracy
thats all
No, but i do think dangerous things like nuclear weapons and the like should be banned, by all nations INCLUDING the USA. And guns as well, like with this recent sniper shooting in the states, who the hell needs a “civilian” sniper rifle??? (insert emoticon with a cocked eyebrow here)
Stuff like drugs, ciggs and alchohal really only hurt the individual, and should be left up to that person in question. I myself smoke ciggs, wish i could quit tho 'cuz i truely do hate them, and i smoke weed, dont drink tho except on a very rare occasion.
Matt
Blend on, and blend well!!!
True, i understand what your saying there!!!
And im not any kind of drunk 'cuz i dont drink, and as far as smoke i doubt the guyz i know who grow are using it to fund guns, but i know that there are lots who do through the “chain of command”.
Personally, i would like to quit smoking ciggs, and grow my own weed so its value is basically nothing except the enjoyment i gain from smoking it. 
I dont like the idea that a bag of weed bought will buy some crim a gun which shot a dude and so on…
Matt
Blend on, and blend well!!!
I’m totally against all sorts of banning. BUT, I would be happy if Budweizer was banned, 'cuz that the worst effing excuse for beer I’ve ever encountered.
what percentage alcohol is budwiezer
what is the average in america (including canada and mexico)
what is the average in the US
i have heard its pretty weak in the US about 2% or 2.5%
but i am not sure
its about 5-7% here and i was just wondering
There is a critical flaw in this type of thinking that make it impossible. First off, nuclear weapons will exsist. You can not wipe them off the earth totally, PERIOD. So now it comes down to, someones going to have them, so who’s it going to be? If all ‘good’ countries don’t have them, then you can bet the ‘bad’ ones will. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I would like to see that situation arise.
As for guns, the same thing. Wouldn’t criminals love a place with absolutely no guns. Like Chris Rock says… “Never go to parties with metal detectors. Sure it feels safe inside. But what about all the niggas wiggin outside wit guns. They know you don’t have one.” Also, the gun used in the sniper shootings wasn’t even a sniper rifle. That was basically an assult rifle. So then you get down to where to draw the line. Well, a .223 isn’t even that big. A lot of sniper type rifles are more around the 7.62mm range. But then again, give me a .22 caliber and a target, and I’m sure I could take it out. So basically what it comes down to, is if someons going to kill, then they are going to kill. Look at Oklahoma City, they took down the building with some fertilizer and fuel oil. Look at Sept. 11, they did all that with only a handful of razor knifes.[sarcasm] But thank god they didn’t have guns, then what would we have done [/sarcasm] 
LOL!!! I would NEVER even dream of rape, and marijuana cannot plant that desire in anyone who dosent already have the desire to do so naturally within themselves.
Most likley i would either get high and wind up Blending for like 12 hour straight, or curl up infront of a good sci-fi movie with a BIG bag of doritos!!!
And to acasto, i realize your point as well, its not so much the weapon but the person in possession of the weapon. Hell, i could take a little twig from a tree and ram it through someones eyesocket or up their sinus cavity, stabbing the brain and killing them. I guess its more important to educate the succeeding generations in why a peacefull society should be sought after by everyone. And the gun used in the sniper attacks was a XM-15 Sniper Rifle, and a “civilian” modle, the difference being from the millitary model is that its not capeable of fully automatic fire.
Matt
Blend on, and blend well!!!
Yes!!! ban everything that could potetially cause harm.
And always go for the symptoms and please ignore the cause.
:-?
Bapsis:
The XM-15 is just like the AR-15, just made by another company. It can be fitted for an optical sight, and used for sniping, but is not a sniper rifle. The AR-15 (an XM-15) is basically a little shorter version of the M-16, which is also not a sniper rifle. Especially, having such a short barrel. Also there is many deer rifles that are also used by the police and military forces for ‘sniping’. There is special guns built paticularly for sniping, but in reality, any gun can become a ‘sniper rifle’. It just so happens that the line of guns the AR-15 and XM-15 falls into is built to be modular and versatile, so parts can just be attached to fit the situation.
acasto, i think u meant to direct that towards bapsis
