[/ame] Game over guys, these people have outsmarted us On a serious note, how do we respond to that?
You make a video asking, "Does the author of the previous video support legalizing baby rape? Does the author of the previous video smoke black tar heroin? WHAT DO YOU THINK???" As for the other one, I didn't bother watching but a few seconds of it. I'm not going to listen to a video narrated by the voice we used to make say things like "cock and balls" on the POS Mac computers we had in Jr. High. From what I read in the info, it's talking only about glaucoma. AFAIK glaucoma patients aren't the only people who smoke pot, so I don't think the video really even deserves acknowledgment.
Treat drug use and abuse as a medical issue, not criminal. If you break the law on drugs, then you broke the law and face consequences. But drug use/abuse needs to be viewed as something that can be treated instead of punished.
I saw some of these videos the other day. The arguments are so terrible, half of them don't even make sense. It is so true though if marijuana gets legalized the world will explode. Instantaneously.
i'm digging watching all these kids smokin' up in the first video. totally not even payin attention to what's being said, lol but i'm confused. so basically their argument is that because marijuana only gives temporary relief it's bad? i don't know anything about glaucoma, but i'll bite... so let's say what's said in that vid is true. so then, marijuana isn't the best option for glaucoma. ok...? thanks for the info, but it doesn't really change much. although does help, as the video admitted, so it's not really harming much either. well, those "400 chemicals" sound pretty dangerous! edit: lol... so i just re-watched a section, and the video said there have been no studies to show if marijuana is as effective or more effective than current glaucoma treatments... uh, wtf? so unless i missed the point of this video, basically they just said the whole point of their video cannot be backed up by any studies.
400 chemical argument is pretty stupid, Coffee has 1500 chemicals and rat poison has 1, The science of coffee
It's not worth trying to argue with these people, since their "arguments" aren't based in any sort of rationality. When someone says, "pot is dangerous and people who use it should be thrown in prison!", what they're really saying is, "my dad threatened to break my legs if he caught me smoking pot." The thought of seeing other people exercise freedom they didn't have is saddening and enraging, so they avoid that pain by building a worldview out of the violence and helplessness that defined their childhood. You can't reason someone out of something they were never reasoned into in the first place.
I love watching videos like though there hilarious. They always make me laugh because it's so easy to point out all the flaws in their logic and they're trying so hard. The worst thing is people believe that shit.
