    All this would end if we would just legalize drugs.

    Why do you always asked loaded questions?

    Libertarians are against welfare.

    And drug addicts already get welfare under the system you support.

    Not only that, drug prohibition costs taxpayers billions of dollars to enforce and maintain.

    Yet you keep making this stupid, brainless argument that because a drug addict MIGHT get some welfare, that somehow drug use is your business.

    Never mind the fact that plenty of adults are capable of using drugs responsibly without becoming welfare dependents.

    Just admit it. You love big government. You are a busy-body who cannot help himself. You have to control others and stick your nose in where it doesn't belong, just like a Democrat. You're no different.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    ....or hit someone while driving stoned.....or kill someone for their drug habit.....or pimp themselves out.....or steal to pay for their drug habits because they cannot hold down a steady job......the Libertarian world of anarchy is a world for morons and losers.

    I love this notion that humans do not need religion, or morality or guidance; they should be able to do anything they want to themselves....which is why we have urban sewers filled with drug lords, murderous thugs and fatherless children.

    No it wouldn't.

    Nobody claims that legalizing drugs will end drug abuse, just like nobody claimed that ending alcohol prohibition was going to end alcoholism.

    Legalizing drugs boils down to a belief that individuals own themselves and that the government does not have the authority to interfere with their personal choices UNLESS those choices result in the violation of another person's equal rights.

    Apparently, you think individuals do not own themselves, but are the property of the government.

    Just like Mac, you are a tyrannical nanny-state apologist who wants unconstitutional, big government policies to make you feel safe and secure.

    You two should just stop pretending and join the Democrat party already.

    Well, you're going to need a LOT of it when you allow individuals to do anything they want to their bodies without rules, regulations or laws.

    Arguments like these suggest a complete and total ignorance of human nature.

    It isn't the system Conservatives support; it is the system Progressives have created and that lead to the decline of civilization like that seen in Detroit and many of our inner cities.

    Drug legalization will cost far more; many are just too dense or ignorant to comprehend it.

    I find this statement ironic considering the naïve and brainless arguments you propose.

    Yep; it never fails. When your arguments fail, always resort to ad Homs and strawman insults.

    What are you so stupid? Is it on purpose?

    If someone violates another individual's rights, whether they're stoned or completely sober, they should be dealt with accordingly.

    And do you not understand the difference between promoting religion and morality and using the government to force it on people?

    Why are you such a nanny-state apologist anyway? Did someone in your family have a drug problem and that is why you feel entitled to lord over complete strangers?

    Wrong again; but at least you are consistent. I am fascinated by the infantile like belief that humans can control themselves when left without rules, regulations, religion and standards of decency.

    Legalizing drugs will cost more than prohibition? You are even dumber than I thought.

    Not only would legalizing drugs save billions of dollars in enforcement costs, it would also provide a new source of tax revenues.

    We know this because that's what happened when they ended alcohol prohibition. Duh.

    But you love big government so much, that you will make the dumbest, most dishonest arguments in order to preserve your precious nanny-state, even though there is absolutely no constitutional basis for federal drug prohibition.

    What a sad little man you are.

    The only way you can argue against libertarians is by making things up.

    Because no libertarian has EVER said there should be no rules.

    That is just a stupid fabrication by morons who cannot refute libertarian arguments.

    So when are you going to be honest with yourself and join the rest of the nanny-state apologists in the Democrat party?
