So you're saying alcohol should be illegal too right?

Pictures like these are always shared on my FB from classmates of mine. They make no sense to me because the way I read it, they are saying "Alcohol is the thing that is REALLY bad for you, so that should be illegal instead of Cannabis."

Am I reading this right? Because every time I see them I just want to tell my fb friends that all they are doing is making it look like alcohol should be illegal as well.

  • I'd take it as they all smoke a lot of weed and think it should be legalized.

    Same here. I actually know they do, but I also know they drink a lot so I feel when they post stuff like this they dont understand what it is actually saying.
  • I don't think the point they're making (or what the graphic is saying) is that alcohol should be illegal.  I think the point is 'almost everyone accepts alcohol, but not cannabis, even though cannabis is generally less dangerous'.

    [QUOTE]The point is that we have many things (alcohol being a prime example) that do far far more harm than pot which are legal purely because they do not carry the stigma that pot does.  It's like when I say<strong> "we don't refuse to marry couples with a higher chance for birth defects who aren't related, </strong>so why do we do it if they happen to be cousins?"  I'm not advocating only allowing certain people be allowed to have babies.  I'm pointing out that there is no logical difference, only an emotional reaction, between the two

    I agree with Stage.   While I'm not an advocate for legalization and don't post memes on fb or whatever (because unfortunately that is considered advocacy these days), I think there are many good reasons to legalize and would vote in favor if it were proposed.   FTR, I hate smoking weed.   It's stinky and I never enjoyed the effects.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: So you're saying alcohol should be illegal too right? : Most people argue that incest is illegal and should remain that way because we have to protect against the birth defects of inbreeding.  So, saying it should be legal means I hate babies. But my point in that case is always a) marriage does not automatically mean having kids b) marriage is not necessary in order to have kids c) the point I stated above about how we don't punish couples who AREN'T related but have a known risk of issues they can pass on to their children. which is all pretty much proof to me that the REAL reason Incest is illegal is because it makes people feel icky to think about it.

  •  i have never been a huge pot smoker just a "if its there" which really never happens. Alcohol is more dangerous, but basically prohibition didn't work and neither does making pot illegeal. just a waste of money on our country when they could be making money and helping people.

    [QUOTE]Cousin marriages are legal in my state. Alcohol is legal, and the 21-year-old age is ridiculous.  I had to go buy champagne for my twenty-year-old friend and his wife to celebrate their anniversary.  (Before anyone bashes me, he's active military and a combat vet. I figured he was mature enough). <strong>Drugs ought to be legal, too.</strong>  Make it available only in licensed outlets, and most of the illegal trade will vanish.  There are already laws in place for crimes committed 'under the influence' and those with problems won't be afraid to seek help for their addictions.  In some states you can get reported to CPS if you check into rehab, simply by virtue of admitted usage.  Proof of neglect or abuse is not necessary. That's absurd.

    I'm not Stage, so I can't be positive, but I'm pretty sure she means ANYTHING that falls under the "incest" category.  So yes, including brother and sister.

    I assume that rape laws for issues of non-consent or age differences would still apply, however.

    I really hope not because you'd have to be screwed in the head to think its ok to marry your brother or sister. Ugh. And in that case what's the point of age consent laws, if you're going to marry your sister I doubt you'd wait til she's of age to have sex with her. Disgusting. Luckily no matter what people believe that will never be legal.

    People do plenty of weird things that most of society finds disgusting.

    But the real, original reason for laws against the incest were due to birth defects and such that become more common in incestual procreation.  In fact, for a long time, incest was the norm in royal families because you couldn't marry someone non-royal.

    It's "disgusting" to you because that's what society tellls you to think.  I'm not saying I want to go out and marry my brother or cousin or what have you...but I can think of worse things for people to do.

    That's jumping to some major conclusions, lady.   First, why does the sister have to be the younger one (read: victim)?   Second, this is along the same mindset that homosexuals are pedophiles.  Like, they MUST be doing something illegal if they don't do what is considered 'normal'.  I don't like the idea of incest at all.   But what will not allowing them to get married do?  They could still have a sexual relationship and produce a child.   It's the same concept with same-sex marriage.  They will continue to be gay whether they are allowed to get married or not.    The bottom line is that these are all consenting adults.    Just because it isn't deemed normal by society doesn't mean that there are any misdoings.  Different strokes for different folks.   Not all heterosexual non-related couples began with two consenting adults either. 

    Granted, I'm obviously new to the concept of allowing incestual marriage.  As in, just in this thread.  But I get it.   Not agreeing with someones lifestyle doesn't mean you should take their rights away.

  • Yes, clearly my argument was stupid, as everyone else that responded after you agreed with what I said and thought you were whack.

    I actually wasn't bitching, though.  I was simply noticing out loud that you hadn't returned to defend your ignorance and bigotry, and noting that I wasn't surprised.

    If I was bitching, I would have said "I can't believe that ignorant bigot Ally didn't come back and respond to everyone who said she was off her rocker, that brat!"

    See the difference?

  • You can all believe what you want, as disgusting as it is. It seems to be a rather mute standpoint as I don't see a huge outpouring of brothers and sisters who want to be married as there is in the gay community. Honestly I believe something is mentally wrong with you if you want to marry your brother and sister and the law shouldn't honor that. I don't care why incest is illegal, I'm just glad that it is. I also don't care about the topic of legalizing incest, I'm more involved with talking about the laws that will allow my FI to keep his government job. You know, issues that matter to everyday people. Also feel free to stop taking shots at me and insulting me when I haven't said anything to you, J&K specifically, because it only makes you look bad. For being so opinionated yourselves, you're all awfully judgey of someone with a conflicting opinion. Time to put on your big girl pants and realize not everyone is going to agree with everything you say.

  • Nope, I understand that not everyone will agree with me.  In fact, I'm pretty used to it.  I'm not trying to convince you to agree with me.  But, I also have the right to think that your opinion is based in ignorance and bigotry.  Which I do. 

    FYI, there are plenty of people who think that something is mentally wrong with people that want to marry someone of their same sex.  I don't know how you feel about gay marriage (and frankly, I don't really care), but if you support it, you should chew on that for a minute.

    And your point about not seeing a ton of brothers and sisters that want to get married actually, IMO, supports those of us for it.  Just because it was made legal doesn't mean a ton of people will suddenly think it's a good idea. 

    I also want to point out that though I'm the only one continuing to discuss this with you, I'm far from the only one that called you ignorant or "attacked" what you wrote.

    [QUOTE]Nope, I understand that not everyone will agree with me.  In fact, I'm pretty used to it.  I'm not trying to convince you to agree with me.  But, I also have the right to think that your opinion is based in ignorance and bigotry.  Which I do.  FYI, there are plenty of people who think that something is mentally wrong with people that want to marry someone of their same sex.  I don't know how you feel about gay marriage (and frankly, I don't really care), but if you support it, you should chew on that for a minute. And your point about not seeing a ton of brothers and sisters that want to get married actually, IMO, supports those of us for it.  Just because it was made legal doesn't mean a ton of people will suddenly think it's a good idea.  I also want to point out that though I'm the only one continuing to discuss this with you, I'm far from the only one that called you ignorant or "attacked" what you wrote.

  • No, I never said I'd be "totally ok" with it.  It's not what I would prefer or be comfortable with, but I certainly wouldn't try to stop them.  I didn't say I was all good with incestual relationships--I said I don't think it should be illegal.  There is a different.  Kind of like the difference between being pro-choice and pro-abortion.

    That's why I'm not having kids.  Avoid potentially uncomfortable conversations like "Mom, we're marrying each other!"

    </div><div>Yeah see this is complete BS. You can't speak hypotheticals when it comes to topics like this. I guess I shouldn't have asked since you don't plan on having children. I am the oldest of 9 children and can tell you the idea of two of my siblings wanting to marry eachother is absolutely sick and you would be very far from something like that being widely accepted. And this opinion is not ignorant, you act like I don't know what a brother and sister relationship is like. And something is wrong with you if you want to have sex with your sibling, sorry. I'll put money on asking 100 people on the street if incest should be legal what the consensus would be. Just imagine having two little kids, a boy and a girl, watching them play together. Then fast forward to them deciding they're in love and want to have a marital and sexual relationship. And, despite Stage's argument, most married couples want kids-and unlike 2 gay males for example, a brother and sister can produce a child and will more than likely want one. You'd be absolutely sickened, if you were even remotely sane. See I just feel silly even talking about this because I feel like you can't even be serious. There's just no way someone can feel like that is acceptable. I don't know a single person, near or distant to me that has this opinion.
