How about for dealing?

How about for dealing?
No jail time unless they have committed some violent offense, or theft, etc.
Is there any real difference between a drug dealer of illegal drugs, a bartender and a pharmacist?
So with the courage of a clown, or a cur, or a kite jerkin tight at it's tether
Yes. The first one is unregulated.
Have you ever changed someone's mind about an important personal belief through debate alone?
Not to mention that drugs, the bad kind, destroy people's lives far more easily and are far more addictive and damaging than alcohol. Even marijuana, let alone the other usual suspects. And it is nothing short of asinine to think that a pharmacist and a dealer of illegal drugs have something in common, unless the said pharmacist also does illegal drug dealing on the side. Then he or she would be a dealer of illegal drugs, just as a classics professor who dealt illegal drugs is a dealer of illegal drugs. But the profession of a pharmacist is as far from that of the illegal drug dealer as possible. There might be police officers who are also criminals, even contract killers, but that hardly means that there is no real difference between an assassin and a random police officer. The job of a pharmacist is to help people find a medical cure to their ailments, advising how to administer said cure, and to make sure that the customer can take the drug/medication safely, or to advise them go see an MD. I haven't heard of a dealer of illegal drugs doing any of those.
I should have thought that you, Lykren, might have mentioned some more of the differences, as you have some experience of dealing with pharmacists. And the noble profession of the bartender need not be slandered either, as usually it would be much worse if alcoholics drank on the street or in their own apartments. Not that that doesn't happen, and those with severe problems with alcohol don't tend to frequent bars so much.

Same question.

I haven't changed anyone's mind in a debate, but I sure enjoy seeing people duke it out.
If you want me I'll be lurking the psychedelics thread.
Is preserving dying indigenous languages important?
No, not really.
Is preserving the ethnicity of a geographical landmass (E.G Japan is populated by 95% ethnic Japanese, should it stay that way?) important?

I have no idea whether it's important, but what with globalization it's a lost cause anyways.
Do you go to your local library much?
No.They don't have a great deal of the stuff I read. I have quite a library of my own!
Don't you hate it when they advertise that a book will be available in Feb. and it still has not been released?
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Yes that happens with a certain book series in the UK (an ebook novella is released in the states but not in the UK (even though Amazon lists it as being published), until 2 novellas later when a physical bind up of all 3 is released - then all 3 novellas get released. Its happened 4 times now). Its almost as bad as waiting for the last book in a trilogy when the author spends years getting it right (Kingkiller chronicles).
On a slightly less serious note that some of the previous questions, do you have a favourite flavour of Jam?
Strawberry FTW.
What is the longest amount of time you've spent playing a game (of any kind)?
Oh gosh, finally we arrive on a favourite topic, and asked by Buckthorn, too.
My favourites are all made by my mother, from the apples and sea-buckthorn from my childhood home, currants from my uncle's plot, and from cranberries and lingonberries (lingonberry/apple is a nice combination) picked in the forest. The apple jam is particularly nice when seasoned with cognacThat and the cranberry jam are my favourites.
E: Longest amount of time playing a game? Many hours on some boardgames / cardgames with friends.
Who is your favourite writer older than Shakespeare?

Homer, if I really had to choose.
Is the Bruce Jenner story being over covered by the media?
I haven't heard a thing about it aside from one post a friend liked on Facebook. So no. Life is good underneath this rock!
Is reading the news and staying informed a moral responsibility?
No I don't think it is a moral responsibility.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
