[QUOTE="dsmccracken"][QUOTE="thegerg"] TheYou seem to be confused. The "fraction of a fraction" term is used to imply a very small portion, not a lieral fraction. If that were the case then I would be correct in saying a fraction of a fraction of marijuana users use it just for recreation and not medicinal reasons. What you still seem to be confused about is that simply because I am disputing one of your unsupported statements (because you still have yet to provide any evidence) does not mean that I may not agree with you on other statements or that I agree with all your statements. You really do have no clue what you're talking about, huh? I certainly do agree that human nature requires restraint and we must, at times, hold others accountable if they wont do so themselves. This doesn't mean, though, that it is reasonable to disallow adults from smoking marijuana any more than it is reasonable to disallow those adults from eating hamburgers or taking aspirin.thegerg
Your confusion is baffling. Your first sentence means that you agree with me, yet here we are three pages later after consistently implying that you don't. Time well spent.
Your second sentence renews your point that I have provided no evidence that a recreational drug is mainly used recreationally. Congratulations? "I agree with you, but please provide evidence that sugar is sweet." Well done, on perfecting the art of being "that guy."
I don't know anything about the dangers of aspirin. Perhaps it should be banned. I don't know why you've raised this twice... perhaps you think I'm a big aspirin defender. Weird. These don't equate in any but the most disconnected of ways. And burgers... perhaps you mean because burgers can be unhealthy? Maybe. But they differ in one fundamental way that ruins any true comparison: burgers give us something we absolutely require (protein), while pot gives us nothing we can't live without.
My first sentence means that I agree with you? Good, I'm glad that you finally recognize that you're confused. My second sentence does not renew the point that you have failed to provide evidence that the majority of recreational drug use is recreational (a point that I have never disagreed with or asked for evidence in support of). My second sentence (" The "fraction of a fraction" term is used to imply a very small portion, not a lieral fraction") simply explains to you the common usage of the term "a fraction of a fraction." I guess this goes back to your confusion that you now recognize. So your arguement is now that simply because we can live without something it should be outlawed? You have yet to provide any other reasoned (albeit unreasonable) explanation as to why marijuana should be outlawed. I've ignored several mis-typing examples of yours because I knew what you meant, and it's petty to point out things like that. Should have known you're not above that. Obviously I meant first paragraph, not first sentence. How very small of you. Your second paragraph here is weird. You spent 3 pages trying to make me prove a number that was never given, and now you seem to not only grasp that the "fraction" thing was a figure of speech, but are using that newfound understanding to somehow prove it was me that thought it referred to a literal fraction. How very confused of you. Your last paragraph is disingenuous and very confused. I point out that burgers and marijuana are poor comparisons, and you translate this into my saying that all things that are not essential to life should be banned. How very Strawman of you. Actually, the very definition of strawman. Congrats, I'll call the good people at the urban dictionary and have them put a picture of you next to that word def. You shouldn't use the word albeit in a sentence if you can't do so properly. Oops, now I'm small. It's catching!
