communists want to abolish private property, not tax it. you can't tax something that doesn't exist. things don't get more basic than this.

Are you seriously arguing that a communist would be opposed to a wealth tax?

somehow wealth taxes and expropriation are exactly the same.

Are you seriously arguing that a communist would be opposed to a wealth tax? 4 of the points of the Manifesto involve communist takeover of various ways of earning wealth.

So the 1st Amendment doesn't protect reading the Bible? Your contempt for our religious freedom is duly noted, can I quote you the next time you complain about the government intruding upon yours?

Your argument, "toking up is a religious practice protected by the 1st."

No, it's not. Getting high is not a religion.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

And the people do not have the enumerated right to smoke pot.

God I hope no one is paying you to teach the Constitution to children, they warned us about people like you.

People who believe that smoking pot is a fundamental freedom? They warned us about people like you who would insert whatever the hell they wanted to into the constitution.

The Framers were not authoring an encyclopedic listing of our rights

Find one who argues that there is a constitutional right to pot.

, they focused on the few they considered most important and vulnerable to a growing tyranny. The Constitution doesn't mention a right to eat food, do you really think that gave Congress the power to ban it?

Are you arguing that pot is necessary to sustenance in the same way food is? You've got a serious addiction problem if you believe that to be the case.

But you dont believe in religious freedom, you think its funny when the state jails people for practicing religions you dont like

I don't believe getting high is a religion. Sorry Berz.

You're confusing taxation with regulation

Taxation is a form of regulation and regulation via taxation involves controls on the distribution. The US has always had controls on importation of quite a number of goods. This is not unconstitutional.

Booze was not regulated back then

Booze was regulated back then, quite heavily actually.

and when the power to ban it was created it took an amendment to the Constitution.

Banning!= regulation. Pot is not banned, but it is heavily regulated like most other psychoactive drugs. Are you arguing cocaine should be freely available OTC in supermarkets to whomever?

But Congress did exempt the Church and its members because they used alcohol in their religion. Imagine that, drug use and religion is okay for your Pope and Church... I'm beginning to think hypocrites were Jesus' target audience.

Right, show me a religion where toking is a sacrament. We've used wine for several thousand years now.

[Ben Kenobi]

abolishing private property is not the same as taxing it, you imbecile.

Arguing that they favor confiscation, isn't going to counter the argument that wealth taxes are at the core of the manifesto.

What do you call a history teacher who can't pass his own class?

Does it hurt you that I earned my degree?

[DaShi]

Have you turned over a new leaf?

I was derping around last night reading a lot of archived posts. I'd forgotten how militantly anti-legalization you were. Your discussions with Berz are classic!

Dr Strangelove is who they based Breaking Bad on.
