    Putting conditions on assistance is bigger government than not having conditions and usually more expensive.
    Trying to nudge businesses towards certain behaviors is absolutely a big government nanny state move.
    Locking people up is a big government thing.
    Just admit it. You love the nanny state when it works against people you don't like. You must be a closet liberal. You probably dress up in your mom's clothes when nobody is around just like the rest of us do.

      You are another who mistakes Strong government with Big government. But as I just told Donna in another post we also need smarted government. Competency exams as a condition of running for office or in the case of incumbents, keeping office.

        Who's going to be making or grading those tests? Decent idea in theory but just like the Jim Crow literacy tests it's too easy to abuse unless it's something like an age limit.

          You piss in a cup with a test strip and it changes color if you ain't clean. Lets not pretend that it's rocket science.

            I don't think that's how mental competency tests work.

              Drug addicts are usually people down on their luck and who feel they have no hope. Drugs are how they find a way to feel good despite the state of their life. That's why drug use is becoming a bigger problem in economically depressed places like the rust belt. The way to combat that is to somehow bring jobs back.

                Oh your savior Donald Trump aint helping you out on this?
                It figures.
                Okay all of those things are already implemented.
                If you want to fight the war on drugs you have to go to the source. The source are the Cartels.
                HOWEVER, THE DRUG CARTELS ARE SO DANGEROUS WHO IS CRAZY ENOUGH TO WAGE WAR ON THEM??
                Pablo Escobar got taken down but we haven't had a president with enough balls to actually wage war since Escobar.

                  If drugs were decriminalized then the black market would disappear and cartels wouldn’t have a business

                    You obviously aren't familiar with how cartels operate these days. They are more than prepared to conduct business At big phana levels

                      And you obviously aren’t familiar with the fact they wouldn’t be able to operate at that “big phana[sic]” level if the USA didn’t support policies that exacerbated poverty and violence on both sides of the border, or if US banks didn’t launder their money for them, dumbfuck!

                        No need for coarse language.
                        And I thought we were discussing the here and now… not what lead up to the nostalgia of yesteryear lol.
                        My point was if legalized today the first shipment would arrive from Columbia tomorrow with the full blessing and support of our government and big pharma would be out in the cold

                          Listen nyukka, take a step off your high horse considering you opened with a patronizing remark and are now butthurt ‘bout being called out. Secondly, I will speak however the vuck I vant. If you don’t like it, then feel free not to reply. I’m willing to put it past us, now let’s move forward amicably.
                          There’s a diff between legalization and decriminalizing. Decriminalizing would mean we wouldn’t incentivize putting drug suppliers and consumers — that aren’t pharmaceutical companies — behind bars thereby creating a cycle of poverty and violence on the street level, which is what feeds an army of angry, unemployed young men into the cartels which is what gives them so much power. That **** would disappear overnight, the same way ending prohibition in the 30s reduced gang violence between the mob. Now would the cartels disappear? No they would stick around considering they are so powerful, but their power can be drastically weakened by increasing the supply at local levels to compete with their artificial scarcity and price gouging, which would involve more sensible regulation and not just “Reeeee drugs bad, m’kay”. Literally this entire ****ing problem was created by corporate and government greed, and dickhead right wing religious assholes somehow thinking they can control what we can and cannot put into our bodies, through threat of imprisonment or death.
                          Anywho, I’m not trying to ****ing solve the drug crisis on my own, I’m just pointing out basic ****ing facts of this government scam. And I see we can at least partially agree on that aspect, because the government does not have our best interests in mind. Got a problem with me saying that bud??? No?? Good, that’s what I thought.
                          Now hypothetically let’s start first with decriminalizing, then move onto legalization and regulation like sensible ****ing people and not shortsighted, greedy chimpanzee-brained assholes.

                            lol no butt hurt…just dont appreciate being cursed at for no reason.
                            i agree with all that you wrote…but you still dont seem to understand that south and central america call the shots and always will no matter our countries political stance on the topic. legalisation only occurs if they like the terms of the deal down south. if not…they are fine with illegal business as usual.

                              Listen, I give what I get. And you’re still going at it with patronizing remarks, I am not taking the heat for your incompetence. Everything you claim “I don’t understand” I understand crystal FUCKING clear, so I will continue to swear at you. It’s clear you cannot ****ing move past it.
                              You don’t seem to understand that the USA and South and Central America are in collusion to **** us all up, and the cartels are in on it too. Everyone gets ****ing paid off. The only way forward is basically revolution at this point.
                              Anyway I made my point, I’m done.
