A prominent drug scientist over here said not too long back that statistically horse riding was more dangerous than Ecstasy. Shall we invite him too?

My biggest problem with this is that by trying to enforce laws that some people find silly (and not doing it well at all) causes some people to lose respect for authority and law enforcement officials. This makes for more problems all around.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

wasn't he the scientist who was fired because his scientific advice to the government contradicted their policies. if i recall it went something like this.Originally posted by kentonio View Post
government: we want you to advise us on the science of drugs, so that we can formulate better drug policy.
scientist: /does a study. ok this is what the science says....most recreational drugs are harmless when used in moderation and only heroin and crack cocaine are more harmful than alcohol and tobacco.
government: that's outrageous! don't you know that drugs are bad (mmm...kay). your science makes a mockery of our policies. you're fired!"The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

That's right, when trained scientists provide evidence that disagrees with something you think is 'common sense' it clearly means they are an idiot and you are completely right. Well done.Originally posted by Kidicious View PostComment

He's an idiot for thinking horseback riding is the same thing as taking ecstacy, or for not knowing the difference.Originally posted by kentonio View PostI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Of course there's a difference. For one thing, riding a horse is more dangerous.Comment

edit: was responding to kid.
of course horseback riding is different from taking ecstasy you simpleton. one involves riding a horse and the other involves ingesting a drug.
what he was saying is that one is more dangerous than the other. i.e people involved in horseback riding are more at risk of death or serious injury than people who take ecstasy, which is a perfectly valid comparison and conclusion (if the evidence supports it)."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Also, I bet people who do Ecstasy like much crappier music than people who ride horses.Comment
