Drugs related discussion

[Alexander III]

I think your choice of example (muslim/Quran/terrorist) because of Monamy's country of origin makes it rather personal, I'd say.

that was the point, to make an analogy to something that for the him/her would have been relatable.

Not having used them himself makes him "ignorant" on the subject?

As much as me not having read Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, make me ignorant when it comes to the book, the Grapes of Wrath. You can't really discuss a book, unless you have read it, or at least dabbled and read a few chapters.

Is that why you opted for not explaining it in a direct and reasonable manner?

Take your time. We can wait if you are willing to make an effort in that way.

*Alexander lunges with his rapier*
*Scheherazade parries and strikes back quick with the riposte*
*Alexander get caught off-guard and the blade penetrates deep*
*Scheherazade removes the blade and walks away as the physician runs over panicking and fearing for Alexander's life*
*Oh pauvre dying duellist, yours is the fate of any man who dares throw his glove at Scheherazade*

[Monamy]

Wow, half a day away, and all this tension arises. LitNet wasn't like that, what happened?

Alexander, first of all, I would thank you for explaining (at least, you did that.)

don't jump into conclusions, especially about people being ignorants. I wasn't in the slightest of ways talking about GOOD kinds of drugs or using small amounts to avoid addiction. I thought that was clear in my post but then again, I think some people tend to think that others are ignorants first before anything else.

Your examples are, to say the least, rude. So I'll refrain from entering in such discussions with you because I was part of them many times in the past 9 years or so. I'd like to avoid any conflicts, ESPECIALLY in LitNet. I'm a member of this wonderful place because it didn't house any bashing and ill-mannared people. Including direct and offending replies at one's origon, social standards and nationality.

(;'_') ... u-um... what?

^ This reply, my dear friend, was not meant to ignore you. That example you used was a bit... no, not a bit, it was totally vague for someone who was raised with the belief that marriage, sex and relationships are sacred and not to toy around with. Of course, in my nation and absolutely in my religion, you 'have' to marry the woman you sleep with, you can't just sleep with her just to satisfy your reproduction desires and then walk away. It's a big no-no in my religion. Most of our women (I say most, because a good portion of them are care-free) don't even use that kind of drug to prevent pregnancy. I apologize if that looked rude, or rubbed you in a wrong way. I really did not mean it like that.

So there, I think everyone misunderstood my previous comment about the subject, but let me put it more clearly: I was talking about the regular, harmful, in big portions, bad drugs and bad addiction. No, I was not talking about drugs used in medicine.

It improved.

[Monamy]

It improved.

I see!

Sorry if I offended you.

[Monamy]

Sorry if I offended you.

Apology accepted.

I too apologize, I believe I got a bit defensive and didn't take the matter with a cool head. I'm glad we could put this behind us.

Thank you

Drugs are bad, 'mkay.

'Gauntlet' would have sounded better in that last line, I think.
