damn isn't that what the government is doing to Marijuana smokers? Precisely the soul crushing irony of it. I wonder if there is any avenue for formal complaint?

**I have read all the new posts and am ignoring them because it is just repeating what has already been said more than once** Forcing Change on others: pushing into molds. Changing yourself: free will. Presenting a different viewpoint, or one's own viewpoint: activism. Others don't exist to please one. They exist for their own purposes. That is what is meant by Liberty. Now can we get back to the Sparring? I suppose I should have asked my question more specifically because you did not provide anything I would call an answer. So here is my question: What exactly is TheDave "forcing" on you and what about his presention of opinion do you consider forcing? You are sitting here repeatedly saying things along the lines of "suck it up crybaby" but then arguing in favor of responsible activism. You must be able to see how if you consider Dave's behavior as aggressive and imposing than to avoid contradiction you MUST admit you behaving exactly the same way. *** Now OC, on the matter of your he-man suck it up bullshit I would just like to say I have seen you spouting this slander in EXTREMELY inappropriate threads such as those in the Drug Use Problems forum. You say "well this is the sparring room so don't run to mommy" but then you go to support group discussions and tell people, "c'mon, all you do is stop, I did it, its easy". It is absolutely disgraceful half the stuff I see you say, and I am talking about OUTSIDE the sparring room. In fact I cannot find any difference with your tone in this thread compared to that in others. So are the people in the addiction support group fourms also just a bunch of cry baby whiners that need to suck it up and be a man? I don't believe in the Addiction theory of behavior, It doesn't explain very much. I am a proponent of the Pain avoidance theory of behavior. My tone is impossible to read in typed words, that's something you, and TheDave, and others put there out of your own minds. Words don't have emotions when typed in plain faced type. People have emotions, and the majority should try a little more self control, self esteem, and maybe even, loving their selves. Worrying what I or others say, think, or do, is pretty childish. In MY opinion. I have a right to hold an opinion don't I? Especially one which is unpopular. Grow up. I am not your friend, I am not your mom, I am not your dad, or grandma, or black sheep uncle. I am a complete stranger, and the fact you care so much what I type, say, think and do, shows a complete lack of respect. I see no logical reason for your to expect me to act or live to please others. I do the moderator gig, yes. I love this community, yes. I have no respect for those who complain, whine, and worry about meaningless issues, probably, yes. Marc Emery is on his way to a prison in the USA< and I hate to tell you guys, your crybaby shit is just not that important in the scheme of things. I only exhort TheDave to live for himself, in a meaningful way. Not to waste his time trying to force people to accept him. Who would imagine such behavior is a way to make friends? Obviously not I. This is the sparring room, it has an intent and purpose and a spirit. Its a place for people who have a dispute to let off steam, and maybe reach some middle ground, or at least mutual respect. Or not. Its not a cure all, its not a gang bang, its not anything more than a sandbox. If anything its tough love. I wouldn't waste my time communicating with someone who I thought was "worthless". I understand, do you?
