If someone likes the national forrests and wants to preserve them by keeping a strong forrest rangers service are they automatically for big government?

They are for increasing the size of government in regard to national forests.

Increasing the size and sway of the federal government isn’t in favor of larger government.

Illogical.

But you’re showing yourself to be either dumb or a troll in this entire thread.[/quote]

You’ve not had an argument, or a fact, from page one and now you’ve reduced this to name calling. I like it go for it, it actually makes for a good exit for you.

Anyway…

Increasing, or maintaining the size of one government agency does not mean that one is in favor of increasing the size of the total government.

Why does everything have to be explained to you?

I’ve had plenty of simple rational logic in this thread which you have completely ignored. I, and others, have repeatedly asked you incredibly simple, direct yes or no questions. You have repeated completely ignored.

Exactly what the previous poster said. You aren’t for small government, you are just for your brand of big government.[/quote]

LOL

Oh my, shaking my head is more like it.

Lets, jail, jail, jail people who get high on things I dont approve of.

Because, that will solve all of lives problems.

Just like Jesus urged us to, he was big on prohibition that guy.

Meh, I feel like shaking dust off off my sandals now.

A quick google and here are a few articles about the good side of weed.

And just remember kids, vitis vinifera sativa = gift of God, cannabis sativa = jail time.

And this serves no purpose than to teach each new generation just how much contempt todays laws deserve, so I guess its legit, in a way.

Holy shit you stupid fuck, yes it does.

If you don’t want a big government you hire a private company to protect the damn forest. What the fuck is wrong with you?

What on earth are you talking about? Who hires a private company to protect the forest? Is this forest on private land or land that belongs to the states? Mak, you need to stop hitting the bong there fella.

Expanding a part of the Government, any part, is making it bigger.

But no, small Government all the way, right folks?

Who hires a private company? Why wouldn’t you?

It’s that simple huh?

Fatuous. I’m in favour of a free market and limited government market regulation. But that doesn’t mean I’m in favour of complete deregulation leaving the market open to bear raids and allowing commercial banks unlimited leverage. If you want no government then just be honest about it.

Anyone who wants their goods or services…

It just baffles me how normally level headed posters on this forum…lose their collective fucking minds over THC.

You guys must have had a lot of fun arguing why Alcohol should have remained illegal back in the 30’s.

Because Sexmachine and ZEB are basically using the same arguments that the Women’s Christian Temperance Union spewed forth.

“Protect the FAMILIES”

“Think of the CHILDREN”

The only people that make money off of THC being illegal are gangs/prison unions/and a monster fucking budget for the DEA.

You must admit it is quite a feat to make something that grew in every ditch prior to prohibition worth more than gold

My father recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. Cancer does not run in our family at all so he likely developed his cancer from Remicade infusions he was taking to treat his rheumatoid arthritis. After he would take an infusion of Remicade he was sick for at least 2 days afterwards. He found that using a vaporizer for marijuana not only helped ease his nausea from the Remicade infusions, but also helped overall with his rheumatoid arthritis as a whole. As he was dying he continued to use marijuana to help with nausea and pain. That’s my peer reviewed study.

Your dad should have been locked in a cage, after a DEA team armed with AK’s kicked in his door and shot his dog. But I’m all for small govt.

Edit: While it’s fun to call Big Gov Zeb on his B.S. BeefEater I hope my comment isn’t taken the wrong way. Sorry for your loss, glad your dad could get some comfort.

Marijuana itself would not have been enough to completely dull the pain so he was on a number of painkillers, but they all made him nauseous and destroyed his already minute appetite. Marijuana at least helped with his nausea and provided him some small appetite.
