Smoking weed and shooting guns are the true signs of freedom

[amadeus]

So what happens if you drive a hundred miles an hour past an elementary school and run over a half dozen kindergarteners?

Wouldn't it just be easier to not have this happen?

Isn't that the kindergarteners' fault for not being armed and sufficiently capable of shooting the driver?

 

[Ajidica]

No, it is the Governments fault for not properly understanding the Second Amendment.

 

[SKILORD]

They could move into the legal sale of..

I'm sorry Abaddon, but legalized drugs would be run by white guys in business suits trading speculations on the price of heroin on the GD dow jones and artificially inflating the prices of both our drugs and our guns. Criminalization makes the drug market the only truly "free" market left in America and if it were legalized it would be run by the same subsidized corporate hacks who are destroying everything else.

I'm not sure that violently enforced local monopolies constitute a "free market". That's like saying that feudal Europe had a "free market" on land.

 

[SG-17]

Obviously the sanctions aren't working.

Just like North Korea.

 

[Traitorfish]

Just like North Korea.

So you're saying that... We should sell weed to the North Koreans? Y'know, that might actually work!

It's none of my business whether someone does drugs or owns guns. So yah, keep the government out of it too. Unfortunately we have a lot of collectivists (authoritarians disguised as socialists/dirty commies/pinkoes) in power over here and, oh man, they really do hate individual freedom. They use democracy (tyranny of the majority) to justify their fascist positions to strip the individual of his liberty. We need to give back the power to the individual by hampering the evil powers of democracy.

you socialists, you're all evil.

 

[Traitorfish]

Hm.

 

[Ajidica]

you socialists, you're all evil.

He is on to us. He is learning that unless we ban a right a day our misery powered thought generator will backfire.

I approve of the OP.

Well, if the peasants had built armies forged and crafted their own armor and trained accordingly I'm sure that some sort of agreement could have been reached.

lol

I suppose that violently enforced local monopolies don't seem very "free market"-ey, and when you're talking about that coke game then you're totally right, there's a lot of money on the line and you're working that corner and, no I hear you. But for the particular contraband in question I do not find violently enforced local monopolies to be the case on the end level distribution. Now, further up the supply chain there's probably a lot more violence and monopolization, granted.

But I guess that I consider violence somewhat of a free market solution...

 

[Moonbat]

Hm.

Perferct example of the evilness of collectivism which the socialists/pinkoes so much love. They hate freedom and liberty from the bottom their hearts, that's why they oppose liberalism. They want to control other people's lives because they're a bunch of dirty authoritarians.

 

[Ajidica]

Quick! Lets turn up our misery-powered thought generator and turn it on him, he is on to us!

Isn't higher up the supply chain what counts? I mean, you could have a thousand independent news stands, but if they're only able to sell the Murdoch press because he had all his rivals shot...

So did Blackbeard.

 

[SuperJay]

I am all for it, except without the guns. Guns kill people, brah.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Definitely options four and one. (!)

 

[naterator]

This seems to be a bipartisan solution. The left gets it's weed, the right gets it's guns, i get weed and guns, and everybody wins.

Freedom Freedom Freedom Oi!

 

[KaiserElectric]

I'd fully legalize weed if it meant fully legalizing guns. If someone wants to blow their life smoking pot, they are free to do so, in my opinion. I won't cry for them.

Quantifiable quality, and the expansive nature of the drug market makes it a totally different market than the rather smaller newspaper industry, honestly I don't even really think that 1 block big monopolies really count as monopolies and that regional monopolies will be plagued by external traffickers who can move out of town quickly after unloading their product for the inflated monopoly prices.

So did Blackbeard.

Blackbeard was as good a capitalist as there is. At least he was honest about the whole thing.
