You making something like 50+ different unwanted threads on the same fucking thing might have had something to do with it.

I've made probably 5-10 threads about my politics over several years... Yet everyone here knows what I'm about. Didn't need to spam anybody into submission. Didn't need to have them agree with me to end the conversations either.

We could keep this one going.. Eventually moderators lock them though.

I don't see many news articles on communism these days. Mostly stuff like:

Tea Party SD Ad Likens 'Obamacare' To Communism

(Google News result #1 at the moment)

Your politics aren't saleable, that's why nobody agrees with you.

Ending prohibition is.

Thank goodness for that... No "non-profits" representing me by spending my money on ribbons and placards.

I can live with that.

When I began, there was no Stop The Violence BC, there was no Drug Policy Alliance, there was no Marijuana Policy Project, there was no LEAP, there was no Marc Emery. There was only NORML shouting their message about freedom for hippies that got them nowhere, and only added to the stigma that has mostly disappeared these days.

Give up on your cause if you want, I will not give up on mine. We're winning the battle.

The war on drugs is something they support when they put the CPC logo beside their avatar.

That's a bit presumptuous. I've supported the CPC in the past, and may in the future. It doesn't mean i support the war on drugs. It just means that i don't agree with every aspect of any party's platform, so i make choices based on what issues are most important to me. I would love to see marijuana legalized, but it is far from the top of my list of things I want to see happen in the next 5 years.

He's got the intellectual depth of a piece of paper. All he's capable of is conveying the thoughts of others.

What issues are more important to you than ending financial support of gangs and terrorists, greatly reducing their ability to recruit, and bringing in billions of dollars of new tax revenue from people more than willing to pay it?

Continued economic stability, openness and transparancy in government, responsible development of natural resources, senate reform, elimination of inter-provincial trade barriers, and securing federal funding to help put overpasses on Yellowhead Trail.

That sounds like the platform the CPC ran on in 2006. Happy with their results?

Not especially. The fact that the CPC dropped the ball on these things doesn't make them less important to me, just means I'm open to another party impressing me with their ability to take care of it. If legalization is part of their platform great, but it's not my main concern.

Thanks for the feedback I guess. I still find it strange when people care enough to stop in and mention that they don't care about violence and street gangs.

[Unsound]

I doubt that the problem is people don't care about violence and street gangs. They just don't think that prohibition is the sole cause of it, and they get tired of seeiing thread after thread about it. Personally, I agree that it's not really neccesary to pop into a thread to say it's a tupid thread. Better to just ignore it most of the time imo, but truth to tell, there are more than enough of these pot threads and people are tired of it.

[Curtman]

Oh well. We all have our pet peeves. Mine would probably be Theresa Spence threads if I had to pick one.

We just don't subscribe to your 'magic pill' theory as if it'll all be sunshine and rainbows and gang members will be lining up at the McDonald's job fair and cartels will be a thing of the past.

As I've said before, this subject is worthy of further discussion. Adult discussion.

However, if you really care about this issue, you do it a great disservice by spamming about it here on the forum. Personally, your behaviour here lends you zero credibility and your posting/spamming habits take that credibility to a whole new low.

Do your cause a favour and shut up.

[Curtman]

No thanks. Go read a different topic and take your own advice.

Doesn't bother me....you're only hurting your own cause. Do as you see fit to damage any credibility the topic may have.
