Just because you have been doing something for many years does not mean you can't change it for the greater good.Stubborn folks have kept cannabis illegal for far too long.Please don't be like those people.

Hold up there one minute...I was very polite with you and now you are telling me what I can and cant call dope? And if I dont stop calling it dope I am stubborn and one of the people that has kept it illegal for so long?

Buddy, leave it alone. Lets be friends! Dont tell me what call my pot and I wont tell you what to call Mr. Winkie.

Deal?

You seem to have somewhat of a problem with reading comprehension.
I tried to appeal to your common sense by explaining why the word "dope" should not be used in reference to medicine and I asked you quite nicely not to continue doing so.If you want to be hardheaded,that's your choice.

Do you call Tylenol "dope"?

"Those that are not a part of the solution are part of the problem".

Nope. I have very good readiung comprehension. You are trying to tell me what I can and cant call my meds. I comprehend that you are a manipulative ass hole. Probaly very full of yourself too from the other threads that I have "comprehended".

So if you consider me part of the problem because I wont bow to your demands then I probably am. Part of your problem anyway. Smokers should stick together, be tolerant, and help each other out. If you are going to belittle me then to hell with you!

Now wasn't that nice? Did you comprehend?

Dude,I'm through with you.If you cannot read my posts without totally misunderstanding what I am saying,then you are not very bright and I don't have time for you.I never TOLD you to do anything,I merely suggested a positive change in your vocabulary that would benefit you and the movement.
Continue your negativity as you wish,please leave me OUT of it.

Thank you.

It is not the spirit of the request that I took exception to, but the execution. It was the insinuation that if I did not comply with the request that I was "part of the problem". It was not a polite request, but a coercive attempt by Coolslayer to try and make me comply with his wishes.

Of course the term "dope" would be derrogatory to most. There is no argument there. I certainly would not advocate for MC and use the term, but then that was not the case was it?

If someone builds fences around me and expects me to act as they wish, do as they wish, or speak as they wish they should go about it a little differently. Telling someone to cooperate else they be "part of the problem" is a sorry way to gain friends and influence people. It is pushy, to say the least.

A good way to do this would be to say something like this;

"I dont use the term "dope" because it diminishes my efforts to legitimize medical cannabis. I do this because I believe that it will create a positive view, rather than a negative view of the herb. I feel that if everyone stopped using that term that it may help further our common cause".

If I were to hear a statement like that I would be happy to support, and would have no problem with it. When I hear some guy on a forum telling me I am somehow less than him because I referred to marijuana as dope on a marijuana forum, I see a boy who is trying to impose his will on someone else. I will resist, adn it will be very difficult to find common ground with that person.

It is not about using the term "dope" as I made perfectly clear. If Coolslayer wants sick people to stop referring to God, and marijuana smokers to stop using the term "dope", he must figure out how to lead them rather than push them away.

You would think that there would be much more productive crusades that Coolslayer could be involved in, but if these are his purposes so be it. I wont let anyone tell me what to say, how to express myself, or what to believe in. Especially if that request is coming from a point of "superiority".

[coolslayer]

Now,you are trying to tell ME what I can/cannot say.Please try not to be a hypocrite.
You're obviously an extremely hard headed person,trust me,that will not serve you well in life......
