How about one of you potheads give a real life example of how you have reached your full potential despite smoking marijuana regularly.
I admit that the time I spend on football and drinking beer is non-productive and does not allow me to reach my full potential, I can't see why dope smokers can't admit the same?
okay, so if everyone is doing something (drinking/football or weed or obsessive movie watching or playing video games or spending 20 hrs/week playing fucking GOLF of whatever)... NONE of us our reaching our "full potential." so what difference does it make?
is someone a "better person" cuz they are clean/sober and dont gamble but they spend 60 hours a week doing needlepoint and knitting sweaters for stuffed animals? who gives a shit? how bout "live and let live"??
[/quote]If we truly had a "live and let live" policy I would agree but unfortunately half my paycheck seems to be going to help support those that like drugs......I also have family members who are raising other family members kids because of drugs.....If I wasn't forced to provide for those that make bad decisions then I would say "smoke em if you got em" but you need to buy your own damn Ramen noodles!

hahaha, that's ridiculous. so because half your check goes to "taxes," and SOME taxes end up going to "welfare" and other assistance programs... and because ALLEGEDLY some people on assistance may or may not dabble in drug use.... now "half my check goes to support those who like drugs." seriously? is that your argument?? you might not get high, but you sure do jump to conclusions.
how do you feel about tax dollars that go to bomb other countries, and then more money to "rebuild" the countries we just destroyed? what about the tax-dodging millionaires on wallstreet? corporate welfare is still welfare. or are you more concerned with the $439/month going to Shaniqua in the hood who (probably) makes bad choices?
ALL of us pay taxes... most of us more than we think we should have to pay.... and ALL of us probably have an issue with where all that money goes or doesn't go.
really not sure what your point is... i mean, you're allegedly supporting all these druggies... would that be okay if they were JUST drunks and not potheads because alcohol is legal??
[/quote]How freakin high are you? I've stated that alcohol and other things are just as non-productive multiple times. No we ALL don't pay taxes, only half of us do and I'll bet you any amount you want that there are a higher percentage of dope smokers in the "Don't pay taxes" half.
We have a guy that "takes football season off" I bet he doesn't report most of his income because it is cash while I actually work Monday nights and every 3rd Saturday and I promise I love football more than him but I still work!
