How can you claim to be a small government conservative, and then want to increase the voting age to 30 and ban marijuana?  I mean, those things seem kind of contradictory.

That's because you're a dumbass that doesn't understand the difference between "small government conservative" and a libertarian. And simply changing the voting age is not a matter if big or small government - it's just a change in law, though raising the voting age to 30 would result in a lot fewer young naive libtards from voting, resulting in a more conservative government.


Let's break this down:

1. Increasing voting age to 30:

-Government would be required to increase federal voting regulations, which would lead to less people having the freedom to vote, as well as increased costs associated with enforcement and legal challenges. 

-Conclusion:  this would increase government regulations and restrictions, therefore it contradicts your libertarian/small government charade. 

2.  Banning marijuana:

-States and federal government would be required to increase regulations and enforcements of marijuana laws, which would have several negative consequences, including reduced tax revenue in states where recreational use is currently legalized.  Our overcrowded prison system would become even more overcrowded with the massive increase in non-violent criminals, which would increase the tax burden on local taxpayers and needlessly imprison a significant portion of the population. 

-Conclusion:  this would increase government regulations and restrictions, and put many non-violent criminals in jail, therefore contradicting your libertarian/small government charade.


Overall conclusion:

K-S-U is a total right wing hack.

I would say someone is a pot smoker if they buy it themselves for personal consumption on a regular basis.  I guarantee it's lower than 20% among the people I work with and know well enough to know if they do or not. 

well given that like 6% of the general population self-identify as habitual smokers on the annual health & human services survey, you've got some wiggle room to sniff these guys out

I'd be okay with saying 6% of my colleagues smoke regularly.  There might be a few I don't know about, but I know about affairs, alcoholism, and other illicit activities, so I'm not sure why pot would escape me.

Probably because it's not a topic of gossip. I'm sure they just go home, occasionally smoke a little weed and come to work the next day.

Maybe they just aren't announcing it? I mean, how would you know unless you are secretly collecting urine from the urinals and testing it? Are you doing that?

Possibly, in fear of being looked down upon and judged by the adulterers and alcoholics of the office.

Judging from the turn this thread took, I think I've discovered another unfortunate side effect of frequent pot use: boatloads of denial.

Other side effects include:  Hungry, Happy, Sleepy

That's all!

Did he seriously suggest a qualifier for voting that involves owning property?  Hey, the 18th century called... Do my two slaves count as owning property?

I would support it.   :dunno:  Hell, I'd even stipulate that you have to have paid taxes to get a vote.

You get a deduction for owning property, though. That means you pay less, not more.

How 'bout this, if you pay a net positive in federal income taxes and social security, you can vote, no matter your citizenship status or age. By net positive I mean you and your employer have paid the US government more on your behalf than you and your dependents have received in direct subsidies and tax credits (not income deductions). Every July you get a voter ID card from the treasury department. When you reach retirement age, you can automatically vote.
No, you can't monetize infrastructure use, everyone uses that for free.

I can dig it.  :) Can you dig it? That's what happens when you smoke like 2 or 3 times a year. It becomes a magical journey.
