Should drugs, prostitution, homosexuality be LEGAL? (W/ Christian Commentary)

Ron Paul talks about liberty, and governments role in these issues.

Q:Don't only drug abusers want drugs legalized?

A: Some drugs like tobacco and alcohol are already legal. Other drugs are not. People don't have to use drugs to believe everyone has the right to do what they want in their personal lives. Ron Paul (and freedom lovers everywhere) think individual states should decide what is legal on a local level. He has never used drugs.

Q: Why do we need to bother legalizing drugs?
A: One, we've spent $500,000,000,000.00 of your tax dollars on the "War on Drugs" Two, our prisons are full of people who's only crime was possession (small amounts). Why should people get to carry some drugs -tobacco cigarettes, alcohol, prescription- and not others like marijuana cigarettes. Three, billions of dollars in drug sales would become legal, taxable, and regulated.

Q:Wouldn't legalizing drugs result in an epidemic?
A: No more than the country already has with tobacco and alcohol. Besides, any state could still make drugs illegal or regulated..and NOBODY wants to make any drugs legal for minors.

Q: Prostitution is immoral, how can we legalize it?
A: Prostitution happens in all 50 states and is legal in most of Nevada. It has always existed and will always exist in this world. The one exception is in Nevada, where it is legal, it is regulated and there are no pregnancies, STD,s or abuses/murders of prostitutes. It is also then taxable income. Yes, no prostitution is the most moral, but legal prostitution is much more moral then illegal prostitution. YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE RIGHTEOUSNESS! Once people realize they have only their creator to answer to, they weigh out their decisions more carefully. Police and courts are respected authorities and just lead to further abuses of the system. Not to mention we pay millions to arrest and imprison these people... that's money that could go to feeding the hungry, strengthening families, and preventing such lifestyles.

Q: Why should homosexuals get to be married?
A: I hate to answer a question with a question but, should the government regulate love??? I have very strong, conservative feelings on marriage. I believe God invented marriage, not man. I believe marriage is literally two becoming one.. a supernatural event. Only God can truly marry people, that is, one man and one woman. I even feel that couples should consider a single life unless they can serve God better married, or they are burning with passion. BUT! Those are my PERSONAL and SPIRITUAL beliefs... not political. In the end I have to answer to God for my life, not politicians, not any other human. I do not want God to ask me "Why did you become the middle man when I was trying to talk to someone.

Q: Isn't this supporting homosexuality?
A: I am not a homosexual, nor am I pro-abortion.. but I am a liar, and prideful, given to gluttony, prone to wander, selfish at times.. should I be allowed to marry? Remember it is written
'Leave room for God's vengence'
'It is mine to avenge says the Lord' 'Leave room for Gods wrath'
'Do not Judge - for the same measure you use to judge will be used against you'

Feel free to comment!!! --Let's be respectful--

this guy is nuts , man

[smokesignal216]

using drugs, prostitution & homosexuality is wrong but what the criminals are doing to get rich & do wars & molest kids & murder children around the world is what we have now. you need to know most USA states beastiality is legal & talmud legal to molest 3 year old boys & girls. that is the evils of our governments we must stop. adult prost, drug & gays is minor to what our sick & evil leaders doing for thousands of years.

Are the issues of prostitution and drug legalization more about harm reduction in consentual crimes (i.e. eliminating pimps and drug dealers and the violence associated with them/the impact on affected communities) or, as prohibitionists would have you beleive is it some perverse fantasy of those who engage in these activities? Probably a bit of both but a regulated market is always better than an unregulated market perpetually breeding al capones and sucking up budgetary resources IMO.

[pooptickler1337]

Prostitution is a health issue, not because of the health issue of the prostitute, who would be given health checks; the health issue is the customer. If the customer is carrying a disease, then it doesn't matter if the prostitute has a health check, because it would already be too late. Prostitution doesn't help the economy at all.

If you want to help the economy, put abandoned factories to work. Stop importing shit from China, start exporting.

[Whiterhin018]

@b3achch1ck96 The fact is that when you prohibit acts like prostitution and drug use you create a niche for criminal syndacites to exploit & they will always be exploited at the expense of society (more violence, more robberies, etc). When you regulate you control the market and the prices (monetary and socioeconomic prices) decrease lowering crime rates associated with said acts. Your advocacy of the prohibition of prostitution and drug use contributes to the problem. Think alcohol prohibition.

@FrieLegos I'm in meth country but it has been slowed because you have to ask for and sign for pseudoephedrine you're tracked by computer to slow consumption but still allowed. I'm not for eradicating the dea because they can be retrained and reallocated to prevention,education,supervisi­on.. I have a basic frame work of a "license" to use drugs that does restrict certain liberties by contract with the government, if people do choose that route. We make them take classes, test. etc

[cblazer]

@FrieLegos I look at i like this too. Most people aren't gonna go buy a 15 year old cigs 1. because they know how bad they are,2nd there is no money to be made by being the middle man. The policy we follow now of hear no evil, see no evil, there is no evil isn't working. Id imagine that we are fully capable of letting pharmacies police them selves.

[cblazer]

@FrieLegos That doesn't follow my logic, meaning if the are legalized and regulated we have a better idea of how to being the process of stopping abuse, right now it's all pretty much a shot in the dark with the statistic of consumption, we rarely hear about the functiong addicts because they don't cause problems and aren't counted. I don't want any of them sold with out id ect. the sudafed law should be applied with drugs(all behind the counter)

[rextuner03]

The government shouldn't have a say in what we do in our personal lives, if drugs became legal i wouldn't go out and do them. Just because i can go and buy heroin at walmart doesn't make me more likely to use it. If someone wants heroin now they are going to get it no matter what. Same with prostitution, if people want to do it they will find a way. We might as well legalize it and quit punishing people that just want to fuck.
