As for the first portion, you did indeed say that. if you look at post permalink 5, you did indeed say that, no you didn't say "theory" but you agreed with someone else's deduction enlightening you to feel the same way. the use of theory is then rightfully justified, as it the your conclusion, stated in such post.

the second quote. that was rhetorical, i was just elaborating a realistic consequence being effected by this debate. but understand your response.

the third is pretty much how I feel. of course there not in for life, but theres a bit more too it which I think you touched on some of it.


for the rest, I say well rebuddled. this is one of those subjects that is tied together with a multitude of others, making it a difficult knot to untie. legalized or not, it is going to do positive and negative, but the government and the people, both have to be ready for that change. and unfortunately right now I dont believe we are ready for it.
Thanks for clearing that up a bit.

If you want to take a long quote of a whole post and then split it up into chunks the way I did, it is sort of a pain in the ass.

When you first hit the Quote button, the original post you are quoting will appear in the editing area and will start with something like QUOTE=solid6;1799233 surronded by brackets (I can't show the brackets or the site will read it as code). That is what tells the system that this is a quote and where the original post is, and it gives a way to jump back to the original post being quoted.

The post being quoted will be ended with /QUOTE surrounded by brackets. That's what tellls the system where the quote ends.

To break up the quote into chunks, copy or type the /QUOTE with the brackets to the end of where you want the first chunk. Be sure to include both the brackets. Then you can type your response to the first chunk.

Copy the QUOTE=solid6;1799233 part with the brackets to the begining of the next chunk. And so on. As long as the chunks of text begin with the begining quote tag and end with the ending quote tag, it will appear in your post as a chunk that was quoted from an earlier post and will have the link back to the original post.

When you do this kind of thing, it's a good idea to preview your post with the Preview Post button. It's possible to make a mistake and have it come out screwed up. The most common problem is deleting one of the brackets or forgetting to begin or finish the quote section properly.
