freedom of what? our rights? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO POT. true freedom is letting the people decide what your rights are. collective relativism= they negate each other nicely:)
[A productive culture would be one that is maximally expressive, rather than maximally constrictive. Pot being illegal is but one manner in which modern culture is constrictive.]
okay, let's do away with society and rape anyone we want.....not.

"true freedom is letting the people decide what your rights are. "
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO POT. But I have to go SO bad!
true freedom is letting the people decide what your rights are.
okay, let's do away with society and rape anyone we want... YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO POT.
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to ME?!? Well, there's no one else here so you must be talkin' to me! I have every right to pot. I may not smoke it, true, but why should a plant be illegal?
Well, all that kibosh leads to nothing and has a logical falacy. If you rape, you´re interferring with other people´s rights, that´s the point. If you decide to ruin your life, it´s up to you.
In the Democratic People's Republic of America the interest of the collective is more important than the freedom of the individual, comrade. All through the people; all for the people!

True freedom is letting 'the people' decide what my rights are ... collective relativism. Well, just because a lot of people want it or believe it's right, doesn't mean it is. If it weren't for the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights we'd be living by majority rule as he sees it. This is what xtians seem to want but I'm not seeing this guy using any religious argument. His morals seem to be etched in the same thin glass, but one doesn't have to have religion or be a fundie to express the fear that if we do away with society (I'm unclear as to what he means by this) that he'd suddenly start raping .. or continue raping but in plain sight. A weak grasp on his own morals and ethics is no argument for restrictive laws and rule for all of us.
"okay, let's do away with society and rape anyone we want.....not."Uh, Ethan, do you want to rape someone?
Okay, let's get a majority vote. Who thinks that only the people present at this voting should have all authority?
Fact of life: stable societies can only be created and sustained when the members of said society mutually agree on certain constraints on behavior.
Yes, lets ban a plant that grows naturally, but allow man-made drugs like cigarettes and alcohol legal, which are far worse for you anyway.
Looks like someone prefers alienable, divisible, and retractable privileges to fundamental rights. Uncomfortable with freedom, are we? Maybe we should vote away your privilege to be uncomfortable about it...
Funny, I always thought true freedom was making my own decisions. Wow, have I been wrong! Thanks for clearing things up, Ethan. NOT!
Just because that right is taken away does not mean that I don't have the right, it's just misplaced right now...
I wonder if this guy would appreciate something Bill Hicks said about pot...
What If God Smoked Cannibus
Ethan is goodthinkful and doubleplusgood duckspeaker. B.B. dayorder says Ethan bellyfeel Ingsoc fullwise antejoining Floating Fortress. Ethan unownlife, built bombs, leaded mans, crimestopped, and bellyfeel Insoc. Ethan catched Eurasian spies and crimethinks. Ethan doubleplusgood!
"true freedom is letting the people decide what your rights are."
Actually, that's as close to the opposite of freedom that I can imagine.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
