The problem is that you don't articulate a specific principle here that determines morality from immorality. — Hanover
I don't get what you're trying to say here. Is it that you disagree or agree? You've indicated both as far as I'm aware. And nobody is a nutjob for making mistakes. And drug taking is a mistake that can be forgiven if done once; but, not more than that. — Wallows
What's the fallacy? — Drek
You probably break laws you aren't aware of. So don't take a moral high ground. — Drek
I disagree. — S
So, on what grounds do you disagree? That satisfying an urge (again what's the urge all about here?) to take a drug isn't morally impermissible? — Wallows
I already stated that some drugs can be tried once, especially psychedelics, which are non-habit forming. — Wallows
You seem to disagree for sake of disagreement (hurray freedom!). If that's so, then I don't have much to add to what I already said. — Wallows
Fine, then. How much is enough? Once, twice, a hundred times? — Wallows
My point exactly, if you care, is showing that drug taking isn't pragmatic i — Wallows
I really don't think drug taking is only about satisfying a curious urge. — Wallows
It's an individuals choice how many times - 0,1,100. — Drek
Are you sure it is immoral to break the law?
— Drek
Socrates thought so. — tim wood
He was wrong, as are you if you think likewise. It's not difficult to convincingly argue against. — S
Do you agree with his stance? If so, present the argument, and I'll address it. But I have no interest in arguing against Socrates for the sake of it. — S
