Man, I sure did stumble upon a nerve today. Maybe I just don't remember, but I don't think you ever resorted to direct insults before.

BTW, as I clearly said, individual verses don't do much until you're ready to put it altogether. Do you know who James was? Did you study the whole book of James?

I disagree. If we stick to the topic rather than insulting each other we have a chance for growth. The only thing we learn from hurling insults is how to duck.

That's what I was thinking P.

Patient administered liquid cocaine?? Are you SURE about that?
It was in the 90's and it was sinus surgery. She had to pick up the medication and bring it to him the morning of the surgery. The post was meant to digg at the ex.

Don't really believe that I'm being terribly insulting now....
I hardly think that 'self-righteous' and 'ignorant' are nearly as insulting as your
chosen adjective ...'druggies'

I have many friends and acquaintances who have utilized plants/drugs for personal and spiritual growth.
Many of them are what could be called brilliant people.
Slapping a derogatory label on them is rude and uncultured.
You have made it abundantly clear that your life has not included this set of experiences, yet you continue to speak out against them in a most ignorant and derogatory manner.
It becomes tiresome.

My intention was not so much to offend you, as it was to try and raise your awareness of the offensive nature of your posts.

Wallowing down to that person's level of discourse, feeding the attention seeker, and justifying it by saying you're trying to raise his awareness . . . yes, I can see how that's winning.

Easy to say, being that you are a druggie...

You ARE a druggie, correct?


I do applaud your effort to keep the place more civil.
Just wish that such was appreciated by those who routinely drag the conversation to the least common denominator.

So it was Dr. administered. Still, pharmaceutical coke is so heavily guarded and accounted for that it's almost unbelievable that she picked it up at the corner drug store.
Never the less, I sure hope she didn't have a dentist doing her surgery, as someone else seems to think.

I don't feel personally attacked or even mildly offended by his argument. I think his perspective is very widely adopted by a large minority of the population. It does no good to ignore or berate them. It might help to learn from them so that we more clearly understand why they believe as they do.

It's not unlike the issues surrounding race, gender, age, etc.

It takes time and patience. Not rocks.

I am not from your culture, so I did not realize that "druggy" is an insulting term. It sounds simply descriptive to me. You just stated that they do drugs. Does that not make them druggy? Since I now know that it is an offensive term in your culture I will try to remember not to use it. What is acceptable? User? Junkie? Doper? Pharmaceutical partaker?

Do you REALLY think that calling someone ignorant and uneducated is not insulting? Are you SERIOUS. Then you even triple down and call me ignorant again in the above post. REALLY?

I am sorry, but I find it IMPOSSIBLE to consider anyone willing to put stuff like this in their body to be "brilliant." We are just going to have to disagree on this one. I hope that I still can have my own opinions. I let you have yours.

Just got back from Park City, UT yesterday . . . no shortage of weed in the Beehive State.

And this . . .



Ridiculously low ABV due to state law I believe.

Been at least that long for this stoner too. Although I am qualified for a MMj card. I'm passing on it until question 11 e. on federal form 4473 is clarified. White House has informed FFL holders in states where MMj is legal that they may NOT sell guns to cardholders. It has been threatened that answering NO to that question while in legal possession of a state MMj card may be construed as perjury.
Who needs that hassle?
