[Person A] said:

not all pot smokers make up conspiracy theories dude

Tustin2121 said:

Who said anything about making them up? They think they're real. And usually they just repeat what others have already made up, but they're tripping so hard that they think it's a brilliant idea they just came up with. Believe me, I know, I have a friend who's always high.

[Person A] said:

You have a friend that's always high, and you're basing your opinions on marijuana smokers on just his actions??? Wtf?

Tustin2121 said:

Is there a problem with that? I don't see the problem with basing your opinion on pots smokers ON a pot smoker. It's not like I got my opinion off TV or something.

Show me a couple pot smokers who aren't talking about conspiracies or writing poetry. Yeah, I know it's a stereotype, but those have to get started somewhere.

(Though, where did the fried chicken for blacks come from?, 'cause that's just weird and stupid.)

[Person B] said:

your stupid, dont judge if you have never smoked

Tustin2121 said:

Right, I'm not the one sucking in smoke and killing brain cells and/or developing cancer.

And besides, that's not what this thread is about. I don't judge you - smoke all you want. But I'm saying that people who smoke pot usually fall into the same general personality set, and one of their traits is believing in conspiracy theories.

I'm not judging you, though by how very well-written your argument is, I'd say your short a couple IQ points yourself. It's "you're", not "your".

[Person C] said:

conspiracy's? Im sorry but I smoked pot throughout my childhood and never had a sence of being watch'd or beleaved that someone was planning something out of the ordinary. Also "pot" dosen't cause cancer, because if pot caused cancer then doctors in florida and california wouldn't give it away as a prescription for cancer. Although yes it does kill brain cell it still is the safest drug out there. (not inplying that anyoneoke it) should sm

I responded to this post, however, someone felt the need to delete it. I told him I hoped his "childhood" didn't include years with a single digit. I also told him that being watched doesn't necessarily have to be part of the conspiracies, and usually include the government gaining control of things they couldn't possibly gain control of. I related Katrina without getting into details.


[Person D] said:

So every sterotype has some some sort of basis. Like Blacks and watermelons and Asains and being bad drivers and how about all jews being rich or all Indian people smelling bad? Give me a break man seems like you're the one with a low I.Q......Square

I also responded to this post, but someone deleted it as well. I told him, yes: Jews were the only people's whose religion allowed them to work in banks, and I knew more than a couple Indians who had unfortunate body odor problems. I also said I didn't know where the first two came from.


[Person E] said:

People like you are the reason racism, sexism, and ontological marginalization occur on a daily basis.

So thank you for aiding and abeting the social reproduction of ignorant stereotypes and unjust prejudice.

I hope one day you realize that even the most avid "pot smoker" can never be as closed-minded as you.

Tustin2121 said:

Hm... Someone's been deleting my posts....

Thank you for name calling because you have not argued your point, you have simply called me closed-minded, a racist, a sexist, and some other "mean" words. You realize that by doing so you have proven that you have lost the debate.

And, you know what, I'm going to take that "closed-minded" name as a complement, because whenever someone is called "open-minded" more of our freedom slips away. Thank you.

Tustin2121 said:

Oh yes, and while we're at it, please define "ontological marginalization", because for all I know it means absolutely nothing.
