Personally, I think your poor use of grammar makes YOU look like a total fucking moron. I guess it’s just different strokes for different folks…
For the record, I also think the war on drugs is stupid.
Know what annoys me? When people talk like America isn’t fucking awesome.
Do you Canadians feel the same way?

Don’t shack your head too hard.

Being Canadian is like living in the apartment above a really cool party, and you’re not invited.
As an American living in Canada, I would caution the OP about throwing stones. Canada has its share of problems…

While I totally agree with you that pot should be legalized (or at the very least decriminalized) the irony of your statement can’t be discounted… ; )

I don’t get it, pot is illegal in Canada, why is stoner dad banging on the US?
and again, Phelps is a public figure for kids.
Dad on drugs can do what he wants, but should children be encouraged to light up?

Children are their parents’ concern. Not mine. And if the government is so worried about little Johnnies and Susies across the nation then it should make alcohol and tobacco illegal and raise the driving age to 21.

But Phelps wasn’t endorsing beer, he was endorsing a cereal aimed for consumption by children.
that is the argument, don’t push this on to something he wasn’t connected with, he wasn’t endorsing tobacco or alcohol.
and, Kellogs has a right to choose who they want. Marketing is a popularity game. If he’s still a popular figure, he is still marketable.
but for right now, pot is illegal which means he’s also an idiot for being caught.

Quoted for truth.
Because nothing screams “forward thinking” like a French speaking Socialist.

I agree with your whole post. It is a free market and if parents were going to stop buying Froot Loops for their kids because MP was on the box then obviously they had to make the move.
But my point was that if he were smoking a Camel and drinking a Budweiser we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. The fundamental disagreement is that pot should be legalized and regulated because it is less harmful than either alcohol or tobacco.

But it is illegal. Like Vicomte said, when he gets a speeding ticket he doesn’t use the defense of “well the speed limit should be higher.”
and I get so tired of hearing pothead talk about how less damaging pot is. The potheads I know don’t have a job, live on welfare, breed kid after kid, and complain that the world is out to get them.
and it isn’t a “fundamental disagreement”, I am fine with pot being illegal. I don’t care. I have other issues with things I think should be legalized or not banned, pot isn’t one of them.
The thing that has been pissing me off about this situation is the fact that sitting in a dorm room, smoking pot is getting so much more attention than a DUI.
Why did they give him the endorsement deal in the first place when he had questionable judgement in the past?
Oh yeah, he won some medals. Does that make everything he’s previously done irrelevant?
I guess it does if it makes Kelloggs some money.
I have friends that go to school with him, he is a walking drunk (passes out nightly in bushes) and obviously you realize a stoner… oh well, he still won a shit load of medals…

I kinda think it is getting more attention because like a lot of people on this thread, some think pot should be legalized.
I don’t think anyone thinks drinking and driving should be legalized.
and it is also, like you mentioned, a second strike in bad decision making skills and this kid is not the brightest crayon in the box, good thing he can swim.
