    Fox News, eh? :chris:


    But taken at face value, this attempt to stigmatize cannabis users seems indefensibly stupid. :shrug:

    He doesn't watch the TV channel, but he gets all his website news from there, so he's got the motherfucker bookmarked, and probably RRS-ed too.

    It was the only news source that wasn’t solely focused on marijuana News and Fox affiliates are just local news, they aren’t the same thing as Fox News proper. Lastly, I looked for the story on Reason, but they didn’t even have it.

    I found all of those same sources, douche bag. Are any of those credible news sources? I’ve never heard of them and douche bags you won’t accept anything that isn’t CNN or MSNBC. But go ahead attack the goddamn source @Ancalagon, don’t bother addressing the information contained in the source. Stop trying to derail the topic. If all you’re going to do is go on attack mode, spare me the bullshit and as the Drinker says, go away now.

    Are you going to address what’s being said in the article or not?

    see, what you do then is take a cursory look at who owns them so when the dismissal happens, you can point to them as being apparently unaffiliated and/or aligned.

    ya gotta learn to think at least one move ahead

    What does it matter? Is the information presented in the article true or not? That’s all that matters.

    Presentation matters... and the source shapes the truth to it's own version.

    Fox has a toxic record.

    Tribune group media likewise skews right, but somehow manage to report with a lot less editorializing.

    So the boy thinks guns and drugs mix?

    As a person who supports legal recreational drugs I have never supported firearms in the hands of drug users. Not prescription pain killers, not psych drugs, not alcohol, and certainly not pot. I do not even want a dude on nyquil, benedryl, or tussin handling firearms.

    Sorry, but if you need prescribed mind altering substances you should surrender your firearms, or have them taken from you, until the point you are not using anymore. I think you should have to have a license to own guns or be able to buy alcohol and other drugs, and you cannot have both at the same time.

    How can you be a responsible gun owner when you are on substances that6 alter your perception of reality and lower your responsibility and good thinking?

    Under that logic I also think watching faux news or other conservative news programs, or listening to podcasts by people like Joe Rogan should be considered worse than doing any drug as they clearly cause people to lose complete grasp with reality and make some real shit decisions based on irrational hatred and bad thinking. Seriously, if you think testicle tanning and wearing a bowtie while whining about the immorality of WAP while pushing Hitler's talking points makes you a decent man, you should never be near a dull spoon let alone a gun.

    I never said it was incorrect.
    I said it didn't matter if it was correct.

    So you don't care if this is being used as an excuse to take away people's rights?

    I’m not commenting on the article. I’m commenting specifically on the statement I quoted.

    no you clueless fuckwit... I don't care about the story at all.

    You posted a link from Fox and expected us to take the story without a bag of rocksalt when there were clearly other sources with less blatent bias.

    I've repeated this a couple of times now... anything you can't figure out still, blame on your mother for drinking while pregnant.

    Okay if you don't care about the Biden administration taking away people's rights, but do care about Republicans doing the same thing then there's a word for that..

    He's right about this.

    This affiliate happens to be a Fox O&O, but in my experience Fox-owned affiliates have a lot more editorial independence from their owner than many other groups, Sinclair being one of the most egregious examples.

    Gotta say, I think the 'duh is right on this one.

    There's plenty of shit that you shouldn't use a gun while you're on it. Including both stuff you need a prescription for (do you want somebody wielding a pistol while they're taking Percocet?) and stuff that you don't (I'd rather trust a stoned person with a gun than a drunk person). Singling out marijuana users is unnecessary -- particularly medical marijuana users, since in many cases the doses they're on might not even get them high.

    Of course, the majority of Florida's Republican delegation voted against the federal decriminalization bill earlier this year, so it'll be interesting to see if they suddenly become interested in marijuana users' rights when the issue at hand involves the Almighty Gun.
