Dobbed in weed-growing parents

Imagine this was a motorbike of your mates that was stolen and being hidden in the garden shed

But, you know, it's not.

If your brother/dad/uncle/mother/sister was driving after 4 or 5 beers every friday night...

But, you know, it's not.

I'm not sure how others read these but all I see is, "I have no valid argument to lend to the discussion, so instead I'm going to invent a vile situation where surely all of you can see the morality at stake! Think of the children!". If all you have is a straw man, then you don't have a relevant on topic response.

About the only thing either of these irrelevant forks adds to the discussion, is to help demonstrate how minor the root cause actually was. Even the the self proclaimed "anti drugs" poster had to build their own little fantasy on top of the original, because without that, it's just not even close to demonstrably wrong enough to put members of your own family through the wringer, and even they can see that.

Where to start.......
If your brother/dad/uncle/mother/sister was driving after 4 or 5 beers every friday night. (Im not condoning this behaviour before you start accusing me of belonging to the alcohol brigade) and so far hadnt killed anyone or hurt any one or even been pulled over.
By your logic before you have a chat with said family member or try yourself to stop them from driving.... you would ring the cops and set up a booze bus and get them arrested.

Plenty of people do ... about 90% of disqualified drivers are caught because family and friends tell the cops when they are out driving - happens for drunk drivers too - but not to the same extent as disqualfied drivers ..

fek me Im glad im not part of your family. Here I was thinking Family meant something, blood was thicker than water etc. etc.

Yeup .. just proves you can trust your friends ... but you can't choose your family and you can't trust them either ..

I applaud you for your powers of deduction, (there are very few situations where putting ones family through the wringer is justified), and your wit for calling me a Fork when you ment fuck. but as you yourself say "No valid argument to lend to discussion" I think I will dismiss those comments,. and try to take onboard others that actually understand the valididity of useing metaphor.

I understand that. But I bet those faimilies try and talk to their own, before dobbing them in.... Which was the point I was trying to make.

and your wit for calling me a Fork when you ment fuck

No no, fork was intentional... if I thought you were fucked, I would have said so. Those were not metaphors though; simply put, they were too weak.

Is that the best you can do? There's an "etc" and question mark at the end of the sentence. The implication is therefore, she's probably not perfect herself and should have talked things over with her parents first before dobbing them in.

Let's hope you get all the facts when doing your job. Hang on, you do tend to "jump" (out of windows) to a conclusion...

So, nobody is perfect, which means next time I'm near something illegal I should not report anyone for doing anything?

I read it as: Every ones moral compass is different. No one here is a moral authority, just because your line in the sand differs from the girls that doesn't make you right and the girl wrong.

Meh,........you have "No valid arugment" Just a skewed view on both Metaphors, and Forks.

[onearmedbandit]

Maybe she fucking hates druggies.

How do you define 'druggies'?

[scissorhands]

Druggies
Surfies
Bikies
negation through reduction

My line in the sand? I never drew one.

On the flip side, I also didn't say something like: "Imagine this was a weapon of mass destruction that was stolen and being hidden in the garden shed", which would have been no more or less irrelevant.

I wasn't making an argument, just merely pointing out the gaping flaws in the logic of those posts.

How do you?

By countering everything that I said, and with me disagreeing with your post calling me a "Irrelavent fork" Ummm by definition: (Argument. a discussion involving differing points of view.)...this is an argument.

Also remmber this?

even they can see that.

Its funny when you agree with something, then say that it has gaping flaws.

Good on her.

Is it legal? No! Therefore ownership is not the issue but rather the fact that an illegal activity is/has occurred and she has reported it to the appropriate authorities to address.

Before I get the pop corn.

Imagine this was a motorbike of your mates that was stolen and being hidden in the garden shed. Would she be a snitch or a champ for contacting the Police if she knew it was stolen and could be returned to the rightful owner?

Personally I fricken hate drugs.

If the parents want to smoke up a bit, how does that affect you or anyone else? Comparing a small scale dope grower with a bike thief is just dumb to begin with.

I've always wondered, does being retarded come naturally to you, or do you actually try to be a little bit special?

I say good on the child for choosing to exercise their rights....
