Drunk Drivers' Rights?

[Berzerker]

thats how much he hates people who smoke pot, you should read his diatribes about the virtues of collective guilt when applied to other people

Ben argued his Medicare paystub gave him the right to decide what everyone eats and everything else from our medical decisions to exercise to watching TV, and not just the people on Medicare - everyone, including you DD.

Is it odd that Ben would stretch a semi-valid point far enough that it snaps?

[Berzerker]

Ben argued his Medicare paystub gave him the right to decide what everyone eats and everything else from our medical decisions to exercise to watching TV, and not just the people on Medicare - everyone, including you DD.

I dont see how food stamps gives Congress the power to decide what we eat and how much exercise we get.

Exercise no. What food you eat? Most definitely. They even have a page set up telling people what they are allowed to buy with the money: http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/mobile/...can-i-buy.html

You do give up a certain amount of control over your life when you rely on government aid to put food on the table. I'm unsure why you find that to be a controversial concept.

[Berzerker]

I dont see how food stamps gives Congress the power to decide what we eat and how much exercise we get.

Congress has the right to pass laws unless the constitution explicitly forbears it.

Thats very leftwing of you, Ben... But its wrong, Congress has "enumerated" powers (you're still confusing rights with powers). They dont get to pass any laws they want unless the Constitution forbids it, they get to pass laws based on the powers that are enumerated.

Thats why some of the Founding Fathers opposed a Bill of Rights, they saw no need since Congress was given limited powers.

[DinoDoc]

Ben: It's food stamps not Medicare that grants the government the authority you are claiming.

[Berzerker]

one more thing, Ben, Rastafari predates Bob Marley

[Berzerker]

Rastafarians.

The prophet Marley.

So I can invent a bull**** religion and use it as an excuse to smoke Pot?

A murderer had a nervous breakdown and invented your BS religion, but people have been using pot in their religions longer than your religion has existed. I see you just ignored the sources I posted. I figured you'd do that...

Tell you what - show me a divine scripture of the prophet Marley.

I dont listen to his music, but I suspect you'll find it there

Medicare is publicly funded. Congress has the power to eliminate funding for Medicare. Or are you going to give me the bull**** that Medicare is not a public organization again?

It dont matter if Medicare funding can be cut by Congress, you claimed the tax you pay for Medicare gave you the right to make all our decisions - from what foods we can eat to how much exercise you require from us and how many hours of TV we can watch. You get to decide everything because you pay a tax. That was your argument, now you're running away from it.

Alright since you can live off Pot - lets see you try.

I never said I could live off it, I said it was food. Ice cream is food too but I couldn't live off it either. But I know which one I'd live longer on, hemp is food and better for us than a bunch of the crap in the supermarket.

GODDAMNIT.

I said nothing of the sort.

Quote me saying that or shut the **** up.

I did quote you and I'll do it again

Where does the constitution mention the free exercise of toking?

Congress has the right to pass laws unless the constitution explicitly forbears it.

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

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

The constitution explicitly protects freedom of religious expression.

And I'll add your latest:

Where does the constitution mention the free exercise of toking? It does not. One down. There is no enumerated right to toking.

No enumerated right to eat food, Ben... No enumerated right to read the Bible and eat crackers and drink wine.

Yes, there is an enumerated right. Right to life is protected in the US constitution.

And there you go again, the rights we have according to you are enumerated. But you're wrong, there is no enumerated right to life. I asked where you found this right and got crickets

Then they can ban pot and there's no constitutional right to it.

A plant is not commerce and you said Congress can ban it, maybe you should spend some time thinking about your arguments before posting them, constantly changing what you said doesn't make you look ethical.

[Sava]

agree

[rah]

It makes us all laugh.

[molly bloom]

Does it hurt you that I earned my degree?

Not me. It makes me laugh.

[molly bloom]

What's the old joke. 12% of nothing is nothing.

You're referring to Sister Bendy's brain ?

[Sava]

It's an improvement. Freedom of religion used to mean "freedom to be a certain kind of Christian... and nothing else"

[AAAAAAAAH!]

BK, the government needs an updated list of which religions are real and which aren't, so that they can apply the law accordingly. Please provide one ASAP, since it's clearly you who gets to decide this.

Also, I like how somehow taxing wealth is communist.

That's how religious freedom works right? The government tells you if you're practicing a true faith or not.

[Sava]

That's the best way to describe BK's religious views... and views on everything. I really hope Christianity turns out to be true just so I get to witness him meeting Jesus.

I want to watch BK meet Jesus more than I actually want to meet Jesus myself.
