    I am not sure if you meant it as such, but that was a great burn. haha

    I absolutely empathize with the “Bullheaded, everyone is wrong but me” teenage mentality as well. Especially that mentality mixed with unfettered access to the internet.

    Age sure does wear it thin though. haha

      See, but you are wrong, and now you’re trying to pretend you’re not, because you’re a ~20 something male who can’t accept when they make a mistake, and they always have to learn through being humiliated, than being ashamed for a few weeks, and then not doing that same mistake publicly again.

      Remember the time you actually linked “that’s a fallacy” , thinking naming a fallacy means you “win” a debate, when you presumed that because a claim has been poorly argued, or a fallacy has been made, that the claim itself must be wrong, when obviously, that’s not the case.

          a day or so about drug liberalisation.

          But you’re pretending we’re not arguing over drug “liberalisation”, so which is it? Am I arguing with you over that, or something else?

          The only point of disagreement is

          So you get to ignore all the stupid mistakes you made, and say what the conversation is about? Seems like you haven’t had any conversations in real life…

          I think you need to work on your persuasive writing and debating skills

          Oh God, more of this. It’s so clear what you value and what you pretend to be. Like when you thought that you’d win an argument by yelling out “fallacy”, as if that meant that another person has to be wrong. Showing so clearly that you think that is an incredibly clear sign of how immature you are, philosophically.

          You’re pretending you don’t know what an implication is (while still arguing based on what you think I implied), you’re pretending like drug wars didn’t start in the 20th century, and you’re pretending you didn’t say all the stupid shit you did. So, what do you think of the book? (Which you haven’t read, like you’ve not read any others on the subject either.)

          Quite frankly, I thank you for the entertainment.

              A “war ON drugs” is a bit different from “a war FOR drugs”. Perhaps you don’t speak English?

              The opioid wars weren’t wars ON drugs.

              Genuinely I wonder how people like you aren’t ashamed to post. Genuinely baffles me.

              You don’t even read the comments you reply to. Vice laws have been tried several times in history.

              You just don’t know your fucking history, yet you’re childish enough to argue me without even having a fucking point. It’s pathetic.

              It’s generally accepted the war on drugs “really” began in the 70’s, in the form it is today.

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_drugs

              The term “war on drugs” was popularized by the media after a press conference, given on June 17, 1971, during which President Richard Nixon declared drug abuse “public enemy number one”. He stated, "In order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new, all-out offensive. … This will be a worldwide offensive.

              This is evident from a whole lot of historic facts — all of which you’re unaware of, obviously.
