how many drug homicides?

:winkwink:

Why why why does every gun nutter turn out to be so fucking dumb??

Suicide is more fun with drugs.
The floor is so dirty with guns...

Wow drug is legal and I can buy it to my local walmart now??

Does anyone after reading this board wonder why the US is in such trouble? The US person just wants to scream their point. It doesn't matter if it is right, or sort of right or even dead wrong, the US person just wants to be heard. That is great sometimes but where is the part where you listen? Where you try to resolve your views with the other side and some actual progress happens?

Go back to shouting your sound bites.

because you get what you call facts about people from trolls on gfy and is why what you think is so far from what is real, all you can say is there are a lot of crazy fucks on gfy.

On a serious note, I agree with the OP - drugs in all their forms ARE more dangerous than guns, with regards to how many will die as a direct result of at first using them exactly as they are designed to be used.

there is another one LOL, how do you compare gfy to the rest of the world or US? A bunch of kids looking for free porn that know it all. Not where I wanna get my info from

Right, and in the meantime 9 out of 10 gun nutters would agree with the idiotic post the topic starter made.

Legal drugs (medicine) are made to cure people and save lives. We need them. Guns are made to kill people and we don't need them. At least not in the hands of civilians.
And comparing it go illegal drugs is even more retarded. They are illegal.

That's just marketing, these companies profit when we are sick; the drugs are there to make us sick and keep us sick. Sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees :2 cents:

In both cases it really depends on who is using them and how.

Sure most are, but don't be naive. I'm far from a conspiracy theorist, but pills for depression? From memory anti-depressants are the most widely prescribed drug on the planet, and I'm in the they-do-more-harm-than-good side of the camp on those.

I didn't say we 'need' guns did I? I said drugs, in all their shapes and forms, are collectively more dangerous than guns. Big difference to me saying guns are good. Not that I think they are 'bad' per se - I can see both sides of the rational argument.

Misusing prescriptions is illegal. Just as misuse of a gun is illegal.

Your point?

FYI: dead is dead.... you're a drug addict aren't you?

My facebook has very similar rants all the time. The US is totally fucked up right now. Politics is a football game, and we are all expected to root for our team. "Obama just did this!" "Bush just did that." Notice that we are once again at the fiscal cliff. Do you remember these huge budget issues when you were a kid? Did we fight every 12 months over raising the debt ceiling? Did you even know we had one 5 years ago? It is more strident now. I have no doubts about this.
