[QUOTE=aridpheonix;17114187]My uncle is a millionaire who makes a living as a psychologist. He once told me the only thing that sets us apart from every single other species on this planet is the concept of morality. Removing that from laws would classify us as animals, no better than the monkeys swinging in the trees of africa.[/QUOTE] Regardless of your uncle, morality doesn't exist. We are animals. We're different and civilized because of our brains, not because of our morality.

I would agree with, but most people just don't have that self control, or are too ignorant.

Prevention of crime before it ever happens isn't necessarily thought crime, and it certainly isn't facism. Here's an analogy for you. Why should be ban explosives if many people don't want to harm their country or anyone around them? They should be able to do what they want right? Me wanting to ban some explosives because they will inevitably be used for mass killings is not a thought crime, neither is me wanting to ban some drugs because they will inevitably cause people to kill other people for money to get those drugs.

That is illegal and unconstitutional.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17114240]Who the fuck CARES if people abuse them. It isn't your fucking business.[/QUOTE] Are you serious? Here you are complaining about how thick I am and you can't remember what I said a page or two ago.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17114240]Yeah, and there were no drug cartels when they were legal.[/QUOTE] Yes and no. People began to find ways of getting excess amounts. There was no need for drug dealers when they were legal because people could just buy as much as they wanted. The problem was there as soon as people began to abuse. It just wasn't as obvious.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17114240]We do not prevent crime. That is illegal and unconstitutional.[/QUOTE] Why prohibit the sale of certain explosives?
...The amount of stupidity you have is ridiculous.

Drugs do not turn people into uncontrollable monsters.
[QUOTE=Lankist;17114240]Who the fuck CARES if people abuse them. It isn't your fucking business.[/QUOTE] People abuse them, harm others, and become a burden on society.

Because tabooed subjects are usually more attractive. And how does legalization = very easy to obtain?
[QUOTE=Oecleus;17114277]Why prohibit the sale of certain explosives?[/QUOTE] Because they are an enormous danger to bystanders. [editline]10:21PM[/editline] [QUOTE='[LOA] SonofBrim;17114298']People abuse them, harm others, and become a burden on society.[/QUOTE] Harming others is ALREADY ILLEGAL. If someone harms someone else, they are a criminal. Banning drugs accomplishes nothing and it does not prevent violent crime, it CAUSES it.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;17114302][editline]07:21PM[/editline] That's already illegal. Who cares why they do it, it's illegal. Anyone in jail is a burden on society.[/QUOTE] Yes, but at least when they are in jail they cannot continue to harm others, and fuel the drug market.
Most of you have no experience with drugs and take the rare horror stories that the media says are 100% likely to happen, and act as if it's fact.
[QUOTE=Oecleus;17114277]Why prohibit the sale of certain explosives?[/QUOTE] Are you really comparing drugs and explosives? Do you just try to make yourself look as stupid as possible?
[QUOTE='[LOA] SonofBrim;17114331']Yes, but at least when they are in jail they cannot continue to harm others, and fuel the drug market.[/QUOTE] If you harm someone, you go to jail. What the fuck is so wrong with you that you think it's okay to arrest people because they MIGHT harm someone?
[QUOTE='[LOA] SonofBrim;17114331']Yes, but at least when they are in jail they cannot continue to harm others, and fuel the drug market.[/QUOTE] There's more murders in jails then outside of it?

Also you can own explosives if you have a license and approved storage in accordance with the ATF. The issue with most illegal weaponry is it is an inherent danger to bystanders if handled improperly. Snorting coke isn't going to present an immediate danger, a pound of C4 is.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;17114345]There's more murders in jails then outside of it? [editline]07:23PM[/editline] He did that pages and pages ago.[/QUOTE] Nope, yet another problem with our criminal justice system.... personally i think more efforts should be focused on the murders, etc. I just think drugs should remain illegal.
This is all from Title 27 if you don't believe me.
[QUOTE=Oecleus;17114277]Why prohibit the sale of certain explosives?[/QUOTE] What?

[QUOTE=Lankist;17114321]Because they are an enormous danger to bystanders.[/QUOTE] Wow nice thought crime, just because some people use explosives poorly doesn't mean all will, you are trying to place freedom and enjoyment over human life. [QUOTE=Lankist;17114321]Banning drugs accomplishes nothing and it does not prevent violent crime, it CAUSES it.[/QUOTE] It doesn't, if drugs were completely removed the world would be a much better place. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;17114279]...The amount of stupidity you have is ridiculous.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure if you've convinced yourself this, or are just straight out admitting defeat. Or, maybe just too stupid to see any arguments being made. You really need to put yourself in my shoes, and see the argument instead of just ignoring everything that is written and saying "UR DUM"
[QUOTE='[LOA] SonofBrim;17114378']Nope, yet another problem with our feudal system.... personally i think more efforts should be focused on the murders, etc. I just think drugs should remain illegal.[/QUOTE] There's no reason for them to be. It creates more crime to have em banned then not.
