<p>Adult individuals should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they do not infringe upon the rights of another individual or his/her property.</p>
<p>agree or disagree and why</p>
<p>I think that people need rules. END OF DISCUSSION. IM not going to discuss some philosophical method because Id rather talk kid stuff, like how loose change is stupid.</p>
<p>Yes, rules. Very good zipdrive kid. Do you know what those rules are? Our constitution! And by extension: our Bill of Rights.</p>
<p>Our "rules" are exactly what drew00 posted</p>
<p>dee dee dee we need rules so we cant violate other peoples rights! i cant believe un hijo muy inteligent no pudo ver que!---THATS ME SPANGLISH.</p>
<p>See ladies and gentlemen, when Zip can't make an argumentative claims, he goes into some ridiculous ramble.</p>
<p>BTW theres a reason i used "spanish" in that post, to see if smallz pulls something that he pulled on some other kid in another thread.</p>
<p>"Yes, rules. Very good zipdrive kid. Do you know what those rules are? Our constitution! And by extension: our Bill of Rights.</p>
<p>Our "rules" are exactly what drew00 posted"</p>
<p>Not quite (drug laws, seat belt laws, social security, welfare, etc...) I think we should be able to put whatever we want into OUR bodies (yes, even heroine and cocaine) and I don't think we should be forced to pay for other people's well being</p>
<p>do the drew</p>
<p>O, I see what you mean drew. Nevermind. Sorry bout that.</p>
<p>IMHO:</p>
<p>A society built upon rules and constrictions will eventually collapse. There is bound to be rebellion, anger, and dispute that detracts from the original purpose. We build so many laws and rules in the futile dream of equality and 'fairness' that we forget the big picture. A law is not placed into one's heart, and thus so many are broken. Since it is impossible to do so...
A truly Utopian society would be one where each individual knew his or her own part, and contributes not by law, but by themselves for the overall well-being of the community.</p>

<p>unachievable in a society as big and intricate as ours</p>
<p>Exactly. Hence, it is known as "Utopia".:D</p>
<p>so we need laws like drug enforcement</p>
<p>"so we need laws like drug enforcement"</p>
<p>no we don't. my body, my choice.</p>
<p>"what right does the government have to tell me what I may put in my mouth. If the government has the right to tell me what I may put in my mouth, why doesn't it have the right to tell me what I may put in my mind? There is, in my opinion, no government policy that is as immoral as drug prohibition." - Milton Friedman</p>
<p>Yea, but laws are warranted where ingesting drugs will be harmful to someone elses (not just your own) life. Example: drinking and driving.</p>

<p>I agree, that goes along with my original post. But if some dude in an alley wants to snort coke all day and just sit there, it's none of my, or the gov't's, business. The "war on drugs" is a blatant waste of taxpayers money.</p>
<p>^I don't agree. </p>
<p>If you say that, then how about we stop enforcing punishment for criminals. Hey, it's their lives...let them do what they want. If one wants to kill someone then let them.</p>
<p>Don't be so ignorant. Drugs don't just harm the user...they harm innocent people too.</p>
<p>Organized crime (which is caused from keeping drugs illegal) hurts other people, not drugs</p>

<p>That's different, they infringed upon another person's right. Doing coke or smoking weed only hurts the user.</p>
<p>Its for the good of the people. The laws might look micro but in fact, the reasoning is much larger. I.e. if cocaine was legal, there would be a massive lower class full of cocaine-induced people, which would suppress them even more. Thats just one tiny reason; there are so many reasons its almost endless.</p>
