The problems with LSD: 1 - it's incredibly hard to produce. 2 - it's incredibly hard to ensure something is pure LSD. Those problems are not there for psilocybe mushrooms, for which the LD50 has never been found (read: it's t

Yes, and if the police won't actively police every square foot where there are people, they could at least let citizens do so through concealed carry of a weapon. And yet, somehow, there's a large group of people that is always fo

CP will only be remotely a good excuse to not do something once we have made spanking children illegal and punishable as assault. It's unbelievable the assault laws discriminate by age and don't protect the weakest. Spanking occur

Please. There are no private prisons. A private enterprise receives 100% of its income from its clients. No prisoner is paying to be incarcerated. What you mean to say is that the Government gives taxpayer money to some prisons, and some pr

No! When this same problem happens to the police, it is standard practice to sweep it under the rug and provide some excuse that lets everyone know you're on the side of the Government. It is only when we see this problem in the privat

Socrates (in Meno) helped a slave kid prove to himself that the square root of 2 is irrational, using nothing but a stick and the sand on the ground. I don't think that kid would understand this "simple proof".
