Dobbed in weed-growing parents

[GrayWolf]

Agreed.

The parents have nothing to complain about. They knew what they were doing was illegal, that's why they were hiding it. The girl didn't do anything morally wrong. Sure, she's probably f*cked things right up for herself and her olds, but she didn't *actually* do anything WRONG.

No she didn't actually 'DO' anything wrong. Likely she has fucked her family relationship now.
It's an interesting Moral Dilemma really. before anyone accuses me of being a 'druggie' I don't (I was a teenager in the 70's though, nuff said) hardly drink, and do a job where testing is in place.
Yes we can all argue the semantics of legal, moral, family etc etc....
So here's a question, how many here SMOKE (cigarettes) which are likely MORE harmful, than weed, or drink in the good old kiwi way, excessively and binging? Growing tobacco ?? Hmmmm so if it become so expensive that family members (druggies hooked on nicotine), grew tobacco plants for 'personal' consumption.... you would of course as they ARE not law abiding, dob them in??
Or one who 'home brews' beer and spirits who could well be selling it cheap to other family members/friends??? (Illegal)...

You only have to spend an evening in Courtney Place, to watch the 'adults' on another drug, or sadly manners Mall to watch the kids on the same 'drug'.......
Consumed weed in the privacy of their own home, and if you like only 'self harming'?? Is obviously far more serious than the fuckwits on booze who fight, spew up on the pavement, piss in doorways, stagger across the roads, abuse the drivers, your best mate who 'leans all over you breathing the shit in your face'.... becomes shitty for being refused service for BEING under the effect of the drug, is of course an OUTSTANDING member of society? Because after all THAT DRUG is 'legal'......

Moral fucking hypocrits!!!

Trying to compare growing an illegal substance with stealing a motorcycle (and making said comparison on a motorcycling forum, which is basically a pathetic appeal to emotion rather than reason) is a massive logical fallacy. Two cannabis plants doesn't really suggest that you're a scummy drug dealer either, it suggests that you're a recreational smoker.

Also please take into consideration that I don't smoke weed. I don't really like it full stop. But just because things are illegal doesn't make them morally wrong, and just because things are legal doesn't make them morally right.
There are obviously a lot of things at play in this situation between daughter and parents. The weed plants have nothing to do with what's really happened here.

I could go further, but someone might report my drug-addled mind to the proper authorities.

I didn't actually make the comparison, but stealing and smoking dope are both illegal. What more can we say, but if you are about to trivialise either then we are on a slippery slope.

Those that are addicted to drugs in whatever form to the point it effects there mental health. That can be weed, P or alcohol. That's when families are destroyed.

Oooh, that's a bit correct isn't it?
Far too sensible!

I don't do drugs, I don't smoke and I probably only have one or two beers every few weeks or I can easily go months without drinking. I probably have only a few nights over the duration of the year where I might "binge" however due to my inability to drink any faster than a sloth, I struggle to get grossly drunk, unfortunately(fortunately) I can still look after myself! I'm not a sheep though and just because I don't do those things doesn't mean I haven't ever... It's just you know, I am naturally this AWESOME, I don't need mind altering substances. I wouldn't have done what that girl did (based on all that's been read in a singular article) but I don't think what she did was wrong. Personally, when I have been put in a situation where people are smoking weed around me I don't do or say anything, I leave. What they do is their business, what I do is mine, I choose to remove myself from the situation and leave.

The law is written to protect people, you believe whatever suits you though!

As some worldwide Historically noted and respected leaders once commented
Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. – George Washington

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. – Thomas Jefferson

I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men's rights. – Abraham Lincoln

I think this quote is PERFECT for the discussed topic of the thread

Whenever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to ensure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery. – Benjamin Disrael


Also consider these.....

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. – C. S. Lewis

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws. – Ayn Rand

Laws, for the obedience of fools, and for the guidance of the wise........ Wise words indeed!!

Seriously though, what makes a woman a feminist?

Seriously though, what makes a woman a feminist?

The woman herself

[Geeen]

Seriously though, what makes a woman a feminist?

From Urban dictionary

feminist

someone who believes the radical notion that women are people.
if you believe that women and men should have equal rights, you are a feminist. there's nothing "extreme" about it.

Or someone who has an overdeveloped sense of entitlement based on the fact she has a sticky-inny bit between her legs and those that have dangly bits get more than they deserve.

I suppose some context would have helped eh?

Or someone who has an overdeveloped sense of entitlement based on the fact she has a sticky-inny bit between her legs and those that have dangly bits get more than they deserve.

Here, this kind of feminist, not the normal equal rights promoting person (that's just, well, normal...) whom I have no problem with.
Them uppity pricks who despise males, probably because they're useless and arrogant slobs who never got hugged and now have some entitlement issue and hate penis toting humans? The mental health sector is full of them. And they're fucking it up for everyone.
