I do both regularly.

Isn't the group of people who can't defend themselves, largely made up of the people you are expecting to stand up to the evil corporation...? Good point :X Hahaha. Consumers are to blame too.
Who gives a shit who is right, it doesn't matter. You say this with the presumption I'm in doubt of my opinion :O I'm really not.

that's my point.

Then your point is that you're right and I'm wrong? I will change my opinion if I'm presented with information that makes me realise it's incorrect, but I believe what I think is the truth =/ The same as you do.

No my point is that if you go onto the internet to debate something when you are not even open to the possibility you are wrong, you might as write it on a wall with one hand while you jack off with the other.

No, it really is. These things go nowhere because the communication is so interspersed, no one can interrupt and ask for clarification or kindly present conflicting information. You have to be more sensitive when you post, or you are going to have problems like this in the future. You bitched at me in the past about something minor, and then did something today several times worse (insulting Walmart employees without making the point you seemed to be, and without any justification, and being horribly unclear due to your shear lack of tact). If I leafed back through the entire thread, I'd find a few other cases where your insensitivity lead to you being misunderstood (or you just rushed out your inappropriate response even though you were capable of a more diplomatic, fair, and valid response). This is not the fault of the communication medium where you are not conveniently awarded an automated method of clarifying your points...
And for the record, I mostly agree with you about the negativism(s) of drugs, but I'm just not trying to bash anyone over the head with it.

That's unfair, because you've done the exact same thing. I'm always accepting that I might be wrong... I just don't think I'm wrong this time... What do you want from me? lol To change my opinion to match yours even though I think it's incorrect? This is silly. You're basically telling me "You don't want to admit it cause you know I'm right!"
You bitched at me in the past about something minor You've bitched at me at least three times for not using the proper quotes function lol.
I'm just not trying to bash anyone over the head with it. I'm a fan of the phrase, "Be the change you want to see in the world," and "Create the world you want to live in." I'm not passive about things I care about.

Maybe I misunderstood you.
My point was that you seem to be more interested in being right or wrong than actually gaining anything from the debate. But, maybe I misunderstand.
And even if you are more interested in being right or wrong, I guess there is certain benefit in that, and it is a trait that most people share as well.

the reason you're wrong is because you think all drug users being bad people is some irrevocable truth. bad people using drugs, sure, i'll believe it. but drug users being bad? that's too much of a blanket statement coming from someone who doesn't know shit about drugs, so how do you feel qualified at all to make such absurd statements? also people who work at walmart are bad too. your view of the world is shallow and snobbish, and you are wrong.
|
Don't put words in my mouth. I said neither of those things. I said people who do drugs and nothing else are worthless people. I said people who work at Walmart and do nothing else but drugs aren't redeemed by the fact that they have a job. You interpret what I say negatively because you want to villianise me.... That's fine, but don't expect me to feel like an idiot.

so bad people who do drugs are bad. got it
|
And it took 4 pages for us to come to that conclusion. Isn't that something?
PS: Poor Meta All you wanted was a way to score alcohol underage, and I turned this thread into a giant retarded argument. I'm sorry :X

See, this is the main issue with all of your arguments. I can agree with on that a person who does nothing else but drugs is unproductive to society, but somebody who works 40 hours a week (lets assume they do their job well), pays taxes, and still uses drugs, is clearly still contributing society on some level, no matter how meager it is. Like micronesia said, somebody needs to do the shitty jobs, and maybe the drug use is what allows this person to mentally handle 40 hours at Wal-Mart. Drugs have practical uses beyond simply getting you high, you realize?

I'm 15 but i can buy alcohol at the supermarket in my village .
I don't understand that you're allowed to drink only after 21 in the US. You should be given all your rights when you're 18.
