I could, but why bother? Much like gbaji, you'll claim I only disagree with you because I'm being socially pressured into it, or some other ignorant crap. You both view yourselves as some sort of lone crusader, fighting against the tyranny of the forum regulars who seek to silence you. In reality you're both just really goddamn annoying, waging a war that everyone wishes you'd give up on already.
You wont bother because you are unable to provide substance. The thread is less than 3 pages, so surely this is an easy task. The amount of time you placed in your responses could have been put in proving your point.
If you're going to make such a bold statement, then you should be ready to back it up. Else, even if you're right or wrong, don't say anything if you aren't willing to back it up.

"I only argue what I'm sure about" = "I'm never going to admit I'm wrong, but I'll keep this thread going for 30 pages." I've never once seen you admit to being wrong on these boards, so either you're an incredibly smart guy (think we can discount this one) or you'll just too stubborn to admit to it.
You've never seen me admit to anything because you probably never read my posts. I would say that I've at least made one admittance in any thread that was over 20 pages and I know others can contest to that. Even in this thread I made a semi-admittance saying that if I did include meth and crack as a "gateway drug", then that was a mistake.
You're just on the bandwagon of insults... it's ok

Do you not realize where most of the prescription pills on the black market come from? They come from people who have doctor shopped and get several hundred narcotic pills a month on a consistent basis for a cheap price covered by insurance and they resell them at 10-100x the cost. Oxy addictions start when a person is prescribed the drug, and like it too much. They overtake it and become dependent and then they find other people who have prescriptions who will sell them their spares. I know Almalique's ideal "if the system was working as intended..." scenario seems plausible, but not when there are highly addictive chemicals out there being dispensed in cheap capsules by the millions.
Did you know Wal-Mart pays their pharmacists over $120k a year? The people who do the manual labor get minimum wage and no benefits, but the pill-pushers get six-figure salaries. The system is working as intended.
So, what exactly is the consensus on this?
1. First, I state that the usage of drugs is stupid.
2. People counter to say well as long as they are taken responsibly, it's ok..
3. I agree to say, with the proper safety measures, i.e. from a doctor, it could very well be safe to use these drugs.
4. Now everyone is arguing with the implication that there is no safe way to take drugs and that all or most doctors are drug pushers or fail at their job.
If this isn't evidence of people just arguing against me in order not to agree with me, then I don't know what is.....
Just because a person is a doctor, doesn't mean they can't be a drug pusher/dealer. If people are only taking the necessary drugs for them prescribed by their legal binding doctors, then there can't be any drug pushers/dealers in the sense we are talking about.
