oh, really, half? that much, eh?
you morons DO realize that what they did was 100% CHOICE, yes? that means that it's 100% their fault
if they had the same viewpoint as you, i'm glad they're dead...we need more people with balls who man up to their mistakes than whiners who like to blame the big bad gubment for each and every shitty decision because mom and dad were too lazy to teach them responsibility

with that said, nobody would have gotten hurt if he could have smoked a blunt
HOWEVER, I don't think he was seeking that kind of high if he had been he would have gotten some K2 or Space

do realize i qualified my statement with the qualification that if they felt that they should not be held 100% responsible for their actions...because what this country needs is more people with a sense of self-responsibility and fewer people like indy and d357r0y3r (and you, apparently) who feel that their actions are never completely a result of their own choices

you are, without a doubt, too fucking retarded to have a conversation with..."wealth" and "lucky" are completely irrelevant to the fact that people are completely equal under "personal responsibility"...if you CHOOSE to do something, it matters not how much money you have, rich people are just as culpable as poor people
and in any case, these kids weren't poor...so what IS your point? that because i can afford to smoke pot without worrying about being caught or penalized that THEY should somehow be given a pass? what does my situation in life have to do with theirs in regards to a choice they made, knowing the possible consequences?
these kids were stupid and it really IS that simple...it's a shame that their stupidity had to end in their own deaths, but they knew what they were doing, what the possible outcomes were...they did a risk-benefit analysis and determined that the risk was worth the benefit10/9/2010 10:02:00 AM |

They're not going to be held responsible for shit, man. They're dead. We're talking about the societal and legal pressures that resulted in their death. We know what they did was stupid. No one is denying that. We're trying to answer the question of why they turned to plant food rather than any other drug.
You are an asshole though, make no mistake. Don't talk about personal responsibility. Move your nanny state supporting ass to some part of the world where they'll appreciate your blind obedience. 10/9/2010 10:15:39 AM |

there were NO "pressures" for them to do what they did...there were societal and legal CIRCUMSTANCES that shaped their choice, but they were far from "pressured" to do jack shit
you call me uncompassionate for having no pity for two kids who knew the risk of their choice and chose to do it anyway...i call you pathetic in your apologetic attitude...it doesn't matter how many excuses you make for their poor judgment, your excuses are just OPINION...the FACTS are that these kids are 100% responsible for their own deaths...end of story10/9/2010 11:06:33 AM |

quagmire02 All American 44225 Posts user info edit post |
so, in your educated opinion...what is the science behind their choice? science generally requires evidence (facts) in order to generate a scientifically-sound conclusion...do you have evidence that they were pressured to do drugs at any cost? pressure that they were physiologically or mentally incapable of resisting? 10/9/2010 11:18:03 AM |

It's pretty obvious nobody held a gun to their heads. i think there's probably two things going on here: (1) people don't have the liberty to release stress and fulfill the fairly natural desire to get fucked up in a safe and legal way, (2) probably a common effect of whatever causes 1 is the pressure we put on each other in general to succeed materially, to look a certain way, act a certain way, etc. Few people feel comfortable being themselves and that contributes a lot to the need to get fucked up now and again10/9/2010 11:30:33 AM |

it is interesting to consider WHY people (humanity) uses psychoactive substances there's the obvious desirability of escapism
but what's going on with human beings that drugs are present in all cultures everywhere?

everything you say after this is complete and utter bullshit because you insisted on make this a "scientific" argument...provide facts and evidence or STFU and let's go back to where you and your dumbass pro-drug, anti-government compatriots pretend that the gubment is ultimately responsible for every negative drug-related incident, okay?
Quote : | "a mixture of social forces, options limited by legality and economics, and their own dispositions" |
no shit...but not one of those things you listed are evidence that their choice was anything BUT their choice in its entirety
Quote : | "you seem committed to denying it." |
i deny that your opinion is anything but, yes
Quote : | "there's the obvious desirability of escapism" |
of course...i, for one, play video games (sometimes...it's been several months ) or read a book...sometimes i listen to music
none of those choices, though, have a significant risk of death for the average human being (though i do go backpacking quite a bit, which is inherently more dangerous)...so what it boils down to is that they chose a dangerous activity to satisfy a desire that most human beings experience despite the fact that there were a plethora of alternatives that were safer, if not so "exciting"...risk and the level of excitement are, in most cases, linked...unless they were completely incapable of determining risk levels, they chose to risk for the anticipated result
they chose wrong

not all drugs have a significant risk of death
in fact, most drugs do not if the person has the correct information
the policies that make drugs illegal also suppress information about the safe use of these substances 10/9/2010 12:15:38 PM |

dude, i AGREE with you...i'm not at all trying to turn this into a "drugs are bad, mkay?" kind of thing...i'm pointing out that even if you disagree with the regulations/laws that "kept" them from smoking pot (most likely the fact that the one dude is going into the military), it's not like they HAD to pick a much more dangerous option
i have done a 180° on my view of pot from what it was 5 years ago...maturity and education have caused me to believe that pot should be legalized and taxed to high heavens...but i will never believe that the choice to do drugs (whatever the drug) absolves the person of the consequences of such
this isn't a pot vs. mephedrone argument...it's an argument of personal responsibility
i truly believe that this is a tragedy...but they knew what they were doing (or should have and chose not to) and the result of their choice is 100% their fault (unless otherwise demonstrated that they received the wrong drug or something...in any case, this "it's the government's fault" bullshit is utterly retarded)10/9/2010 12:39:37 PM |

the policy is inert...the policy does not FORCE anyone to do anything, therefore it cannot possibly kill people
it's like saying speed limits get people killed...whether you agree with the speed limit or not, it's people violating it that actually get people killed10/9/2010 1:31:14 PM |

^Speed limits are in place to protect the public. You not following the speed limit has consequences that can affect others. People who chose to use drugs in a safe manner are not putting other people's lives in danger. US drug policy keeps drugs underground, and the purity of illegal drugs is not regulated, making it much more likely for a "responsible" user to get hurt and/or killed. 10/9/2010 1:48:35 PM |
quagmire02 All American 44225 Posts user info edit post |
^ your points are completely irrelevant because what it DOES boil down to is the CHOICE to do drugs in the first place...we're not talking about something necessary to life, we're talking about something recreational and extraneous
realize that i'm not defending US drug policy...i'm trying to point out the fact that this fuck up was solely the RESPONSIBILITY of the kids...they died because they were stupid...they had a choice in the matter and no one forced them to be stupid...unless you're arguing that there drug was tainted in an unexpected way, in which case i'd like to see some evidence to this effect...otherwise, they knew what they were getting into
i'm really surprised how many of you can't comprehend that if you can't accept the consequences of your actions, you probably shouldn't do it in the first place
