Even though I am currently leaning toward being for legalization of drugs, I've never tried anything except alcohol and caffeine and have absolutely no intention or desire to try anything beside alcohol and caffeine in the future.
I never got hooked on alcohol. Caffeine, however, I got hooked on during my senior year. After I graduated, I had to go through a period of withdraw. Nowadays, I only drink coffee (it's so damn tasty!) to reward myself for something I've done that I'm proud of... and then pay for it that night.

I just find it somewhat amusing (even a little comical) that this little confession is coming from somebody that doesn't want gays to get married. Perhaps you should refrain yourself from getting married to stop passing your prone to drug addicting genes?

Thats what I get for pouring my heart out, and being honest?
Ok, let's be honest. I've never been addicted to anything in my life so I can't claim to know what it's like to be addicted. Everytime the issue of addiction comes up, I always try understand and try to pity... have at least some sympathy for the addicted. I really do. But the fact remains that in the back of my mind I have this unfair and irrational judgement that people who repeatedly get addicted to drugs (or whatever they get addicted to) are weak minded and somewhat evil.
You've repeatedly expressed that you find homosexuality to be disgusting and... well, you know the rest. Well, I find drug addiction and the addicted disgusting. Sure, both of us are essentially irrational, but I'm willing to admit it. What bothers me is you won't admit it and keep hiding behind your bible.
Oh, and just for clarity for the retarded observer boy, in case you haven't noticed, I am for gay marriage, in our government.
Don't worry, I was very aware of that thread. Somehow, I'm not convinced you're willing to put your prejudice aside. Just flip through a few pages in that thread and see your responses. Also, from your very own post I am replying to...
quote:
In my mind, gays cannot get married, because marraige is between a man and a woman, it's not that I do not want them to get married.
So what is the difference between the gay gene (which doesn't exist) and the drug addiction gene (that doesn't exist either).
But we do know that some people are more prone to addiction than others, just like homosexuality. One reason why I've never had any desire to even try any drug.
You have reached a new high in lows.
Thank you.
Your correlation does not make any sense whatsoever. I guess people are addicted to being gay?
No, the point is I feel disgusted about drug addiction just as bad (if not worse) as you feel disgusted about homosexuality. The point is also that you keep using the bible as an excuse while I'm willing to admit that my opinion about drug addiction and drug addicts is irrational and therefore I keep my mouth shut rather than campaigning to have all drug addicts, past and future, shot on sight or to tell people how disgusting drug addiction and drug addicts are based on my atheist bible.
Yes, Christians get mad, so what?
It's all part of being human. Some day, you'll thank me for this.
