i'm not the one spreading anti-semitic hate speech and paranoiac ramblings about harmless gay people on the internet. i'm pretty settled with who i am and am fine letting people be themselves, too. it's a lot less stress. i recommend it.
and considering UK politics has been awash with politicians confessing to class-a drug use in their university years, 20s and 30s, and all discussing it as a 'private matter' of not much moment, i think i'll take my 'criminal' status rather lightly, thanks. you should loosen up. join us in the pool. the water is warm. we're all having fun. the lesbians don't bite.
Yes, any criticism of jews or Israel is by definition anti-semitic hate-speech now, I forgot, sorry.
A tiny minority is bent on altering society for the benefit of themselves and their weird lifestyle. This isn't a good thing.
Using and possessing class-A drugs is a serious offence, with a trail of death and misery behind it, its not something to be proud of.
That the crop of useless and gutless politicians and moronic celebrities are also users is irrelevant, maybe its connected, I don't know.
how are their 'alterations' an insult to you? again, you act like civil rights victories are a defeat for you and white people. all boats rise with the tide, dilbert. a society claiming to be an open, pluralistic democracy can only benefit by, you know, extending its franchise and supposed legal/human rights to all people equally. not wanting to be discriminated against and treated worse because of what you like to do with your genitalia in your private time seems like a pretty reasonable request to me. 'alterations to society', indeed.
there is a saying from adorno: 'if fear and destructiveness are the major emotional sources of fascism, then love and literature belongs mainly to democracy'.
it's like you haven't been around young people your entire life. people take drugs, get over it. they always have done, they always will. the supply chain of cocaine is an absolute atrocity, yes; but, what's more realistic, encouraging everyone to abstain or changing the utterly hypocritical and shambolic laws that create the narco-trade? hmmm. abstention and moral preaching do seem like effective, realistic options, especially considering the lawmakers and politicians that preach 'the war on drugs' are all fucking high themselves. you make choices everyday in your life that implicate people in misery, wage slavery, trafficking, child labour, war and resource conflicts, etc. show me your wardrobe and your fancy electronic devices and i'll show you suicidal factory workers, children in mines in west africa, or sweatshop labour in india. the car you drive relies on oil that props up absolutist medieval theocracies/principalities in the middle east, and the power you use is probably to some measure irrevocably damaging the planet. so please give me a break when playing your tiny little fiddle.
look on the bright side, decriminalising drugs is a lot easier than changing global capitalism, at least! perhaps it'll be one of the 21st century's social progresses. gays, trannies and lesbians all getting off their nut, legally! the future is bright. different forms of sexuality, like drug consumption, are pretty much universal constants that are never going to go away, no matter how much you tut or how many tabloid views you espouse.

i think it's more the fact that we could be having a conversation about margarine brands and you'd bring up american funding of israel. bit of an idée fixe...
