In reply to the discussion: WTF is up with "Obama's War on Weed" ?? It makes no sense at this point in the game. [View all]RainDog
(28,784 posts)What I tried to explain to you before is this: attempts to pretend that this is not a federal issue do nothing but piss off people who know better. You're better off to just not say this sort of thing than to try to tell others what to do, if your goal is to support Obama.
There are legitimate reasons to talk about this as a federal issue - and this talk comes from the top lobbyist groups for this issue in the U.S. Maybe they know more about the topic than you do.
I know how to talk to various people about this issue. Your participation on this thread doesn't have anything to do with the topic itself - you are merely telling others what you want them to do. There are some people here who, over time, have demonstrated they have nothing to contribute other than pretending no one cares about this issue, etc. - and, frankly, the way I want to talk to people like that is to tell them they don't know what they're talking about. It's not about access to information - it's about stating an opinion, over and over, and pretending like its based on something other than their own desire not to have this issue even present.
So, when that is the advice given, I am saying - that's not going to happen.
