Like a wise person told me many years ago, some people are just born naturally self destructive and in many cases if they beat one method they generally take up another. My old mother in law was a severe practising alcoholic for many years, until she had to quit "practising" or die. She then got addicted to bingo.

You have a lot of questions but no tolerance for questions or disagreement.
And me a Fundie.
Yep- I am a true Fundamentalist.
I believe in equality
Freedom of religion- or no religion
I believe in the Courts regardless of whether I agree or disagree.
I am a Conservative when it comes to the fiscal side
A socialist when it comes to providing for the homeless, the poor and those that are rarely mentioned, the working poor.
I believe our tax system should increase the GST to 7 %
Funds spend on education, infrastructure and training programs for the young that are out of luck.
I also believe that the worker should have the ability to save in an RESP for upgrading skill sets.
Pass and the tax is reduced.
The claw back on Pensions should be lowered.
A Liberal on Human Rights.
Abortion should have some restrictions.

Yes I am a fundamentalist if the above is what you are referring to.
if not then tell me what your interpretation of a fundamentalist is?
I am eager to read your response.

Oh yes- If someone is a threat to my family and the police cannot do anything. I will.
I subscribe to an old philosophy, one that can be traced thru the millenniums - Do not Fuk with a Fuker.

Sure. Soon as you get around to answering why you believe the Swiss Addiction treatment program would not work in Canada.

good Point.

The Swiss system proposes that some people 'need opiates to function'.

Both Sigmund Freud and Pope Leo XVIII had long productive, brilliant lives as 'cocaine addicts'.

In Nutty America, they would be doing lock up time.

1- I was never asked for commentary until you went off track to be polite.
2- Why am I a Fundie?
3- How long I have been a member and the number of posts I have made, why is that important to you?
4- This old feller is old for a reason.
5- Does Fundie apply to anyone that disagrees with you?

Dodging the question with a question, again...

You disagreed with my point - back it.

Welcomer to Goober's 'dodgeball' clinic....'
I am not going thru the complete thread. Bump it up.

Goob- the Swiss have e worked out their treatment programs for over half a century. If 5-10 of your society needs opiates, BUY it CHEAP in KABUL, refine it, and GIVE it to them.

It Works.

Captain Fundie still can't explain why- but Switzerland runs well. Trust me. the country doesn't have East Hastings.

CM, you still haven't explained why Switzerland isn't an 'economic basket case'.. The world awaits your wisdom...

Bump- Not directed at me to reply.

Instead of Blowing your stack, you tell me why the Swiss program wouldn't work.
Source up time, fundies...

You went after CM with BS.
Tell you why it does not work. How the Fuk would I know. Proving a negative. Give me a break Buckey.
You seem to be the resident expert.
No links, credible links.
If you believe in it so strongly then a Thread with all the stats- From drug usage, crime, rehabs and costs
Credible links - that mean showing the good, the bad and the ugly.

Such as below. Not Wiki.

what have you people been arguing about all day? I'm lost.

Me as well.


Well, buddy can't answer any questions directly and somehow believes that the Swiss economy runs on providing free heroin... Apparently this cunning strategy can get the G8 nations all back on track.

Judging from the erratic logic, bizarre quoting (in)ability and micro fixation on the Swiss, my best guess is that he's all f*cked-up on goofball and is craving a Reuben Sandwich with a big slice of swiss cheese.

Mind you, this is just a guess

So you don't like gangs but you'll use gang tactics. I suggest you're your own biggest problem

Gang tactics are effective. It's been proven over and over again. No one can stand against those tactics. Please, please, please don't personalize our discourse. Please. Thank you very much for your courtesy and consideration.

Gang tactics escalate things. As you sow so shall you reap is quite applicable. Needle shooters are easier shooed away than they with scores to settle.
That's what we're doing. We're shooing them away so they go on to other neighborhoods.

Needle shooters don't want to settle scores. They want a fix. If they try to hurt people in the neighborhood, things will go badly for all needle shooters.

Gangsters are not tolerant of needle shooters unless they are supplying the dope. But even then they don't want needle shooters around their own kids. The gangsters will start wacking needle shooters if the shooters want to settle scores.
