Why would you remind anyone they are breaking rules? Why not let the rules be interpreted by those whose job it is and leave it at that?
Too funny. You believe that just because this is an activist forum, the rules do not apply to you? Just another "the rules don't apply to me" child. Frankly...I can see you pouting from here.

Gee. I don't see in the definition of activism anywhere that says while an activist is in a medical cannabis forum, those activists are required to destroy faith, values and hope, in a vain attempt to do what...?
You kids never look at the other side of the proverbial coin. I'm an activist pushing personal responsibility, values, hope and love. I use god to find the strength every day. You use hate. My daily life is supplimented with others that have values, hope and faith. You have...<ahem> yourself.

The only valid statements, are those that have responded to your crap, yet you haven't addressed any of those replies...you just chose to keep ranting and trying to switch the focus back on me. You've made the statements, now You back 'em up. I'll be waiting with bated breath.

Not all of us are coming here to see an asshole tell us our faith is garbage, our hope is vain and our beliefs are all fucked-up. However, from where I sit, you are the one in the minority.
Thank you to those that have offered their support in this...your words are too kind.

And whom has posted anything different? Just because I disagree with your lack of faith, does not mean at all that anybody here feels any differently with regards to decriminalization or legalization. Your idea that I have to agree with your values is laughable.

Tell me more about your knowledge of religion. Christianity and Mormonism, in particular. Tell me exactly how all christians and mormons feel.

So now you know all cancer patients and all religious people in here don't know what they believe, but you have the answers for us...? You're pretty fucking narcissistic, aren't you. (narcissitic - erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.)

Claims...I make no claims, and I avoid using the lazy and ineffective method of cut-n-paste to form my opinions. I can speak for myself, and if I do need proof, you can be damn sure I can find proof. Mostly I speak from decades more experience than you. But unlike you, I don't hate all that feel differently than I.
Why is it that the "activists" are young punks without a clue of how to project their views in a concise and intelligent manner? Why is this like battling an unarmed opponent? Hmmm...likely because I was there thirty-something years ago, and learned then, the difference between bullshit and honest discourse. IMHO, Behind the hate, you are full of bullshit.
