I'd just like to say for the record that I do not agree with MOO's characterization of how drug use affects the human body/psyche.

Come on now, have you ever had a thought that you thought was profound while tripping that turned out not to be nonsense when you came down? Sure. I've also had thoughts that I thought were profound while sober, that turned out to be nonsense when I looked at them later. But my signal to noise ratio is demonstrably better while tripping. And I've never had a tripping night that didn't result in a remarkable shift in perception on at least one subject when I came down. If there's one problem I have with hallucinogens, it's that I can't keep that fluiditiy of free-association on hand to call up whenever I need it, and instead have to devote a whole night to near-physically-incapacitating myself.

Drunkenness is immoral because as I said because it lowers you to a state lower than that of an animal. You temporarily do not have your cognitive ability and you are irrational, lacking the ability to reason.
I have not written a single falsehood. Furthermore, those that experience little ill effects neglect the needs of the other participants around them which is immoral. Edited by -messenjah of one, : furthermore

Well, I'd be the last to say that too much of a good thing can't possibly be bad. "I know some of you are going to say 'I did look it up, and that's not true.'

Drunkenness is immoral because as I said because it lowers you to a state lower than that of an animal. If Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, Tom Waits, Shane McGowan, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hunter S. Thompson, Brendan Behan, Dylan Thomas, and William Faulkner are less than animals, I'll consider it an honor to be somewhere around the level of a dog.

They were not writing when drunk. Especially F. Scott Fitzgerald, the only notable writer in your list.

They were not writing when drunk. There is no possible way to type the appropriate amount of laughter in response to this statement.
Especially F. Scott Fitzgerald, the only notable writer in your list. And just when I think you can't top yourself... "I know some of you are going to say 'I did look it up, and that's not true.' That's 'cause you looked it up in a book. Next time, look it up in your gut." -Stephen Colbert

Fact is, you can't accept that your lifestyle is immoral. Address the heart of my posts if you want to be taken seriously.

Sorry kiddo, but when you said that Shane McGowan doesn't work drunk, I gave up any hope of serious words passing between us.

quote:And yet you speak with such confidence and arrogance with regard to their effects? Shouldn't you be a little more humble in your statements about a subject you know nothing about? I'm not saying that can't have a reasonable opinion, but I can't imagine speaking with such certainty. Are you sure that a moderate intake of certain drugs like alcohol or marijuana significantly effects your ability to reason? If so, how do you know this? Doesn't it make sense that one is more at liberty to think about subjects clearly if they aren't marred by anxiety?

Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine.
He's cool with us drinking it. You're christian, right? If not, ignore this.
