I'm kinda disappointed in Steve, but hey - Canada rules and I fully support BNL no matter what :)

I was surprised when I heard about steve, but he's also just human. I think he gave a great statement and he's looking good. so I think he on the up and up

Wonderful.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, a troll!

Who gives a shit if he parties, he plays good music. If snorting blow has anything to do with how he plays or sings, then let it be.Shit.

@MidgetHcky What does it matter to you what someone else puts in their body? It's their business and it only effects them. When you do something illegal such as speeding and running red lights, you aren't only endangering yourself, but others as well. Speeding and running red light is not the same as doing or being okay with illegal substances.

@Hirokaze What the hell are you talking about i know this is a week later but your comments are ridiculously stupid! "If you enjoy an illegal substance, then you should be okay with all illegal substances"..Seriously??? If you speed while driving even <5 mph your still speeding and breaking the law although the fuzz lets you get away. Now if you were to blow through a red light completely with other traffic moving then your asking for a lot worse concequences. Are you okay with both? Same thing

@Hirokaze, I'd like to say it's been a pleasure debating with you, but alas you remain absurd. My problem is with your assertion that they are "the same" because they're (il)legally "the same". It is a very limiting way to evaluate things that does not put stock in effect or observation, but only in doctrine. Which is weird. Finally, I have condemned no-one. I condemn cocaine. I am not okay with cocaine. I may support one convict and revile another. That is discernment, not hypocrisy.

[Hirokaze]

@Hirokaze doing the same.

[Hirokaze]

@rashedly You use illegal substance because you enjoy it or because you "need" it (don't tell me marijuana isn't addictive. Addiction is just as much personality as it is chemical). It doesn't matter what that substance is, it's illegal. Why should it be okay for you to use one thing deemed illegal not not okay for another person to use something else which is also illegal. That's all I'm saying. It is hypocritical to use an illegal substance of one short and condemn someone else for (. . .)
