It's as though there is some kind of cognitive dissonance causing people to argue semantics over an issue with less than 10 ever versus 6 million annually. And that makes me an absolutist with bias?


Of course people have been killed getting involved. I was posting data about deaths from toxicity and that there is no increase in mortality with use. Never once said it's harmless and I never will but somehow that's always where it goes.

Why is there such a need to be pedantic and semantic about it? Why is there such a burning desire to get in that yeah but... of course I know people have been killed driving high, killed in gangs, killed in the drug trade... to so quickly make assumptions says a lot more about you guys than me. I was posting data from the U.S. government with no bias at all with the intent to show how insane Harper is, that's it. Have you no discernment?



No it's not about the health consequences, it's about Harper lying in the face of scientific evidence that proves him wrong by a factor of 6 million. You are incredible with rhetoric but it's all nonsense, you need to go to school or improve your reading comprehension because what you're putting out is illogical rhetoric rooted in false assumptions and personal attacks. "righteous indignation" "left wing colleague" give me a break. You lose all stripe when you show an inability to read or think coherently.

I have become what I rally against? So I'm Stephen Harper lying because I have pals in the tobacco industry? What a stupid thing to say, go read some books, think and read before you respond.

bah,

not going to waste my time.
