Your brain seems to have sprung a sprocket. If continual posting of your drivel makes you feel better, by all means please keep on posting. If the process keeps you at your keyboard and not on the streets beating homeless men, then by all means I support your efforts. Let me be the first to congratulate you for your effort! you get a D- for argument, but an A+ for effort! Please keep on.

Facts, stats, or research - that's found on the web - and therefore 'proves' ones' point..... LOL. Ask yourself this - if I was to post a link that shows 'proof' to a position I was advocating, would you change your mind and agree with me ? Of course not, no more than I agree with anything you post.... So what's the point of showing you ? In my opinion, there's none. That's why I don't bother. I would rather just state what I have to say and be done with it. Hello...
Well, that's where I part with the Libertarian Party... As a Libertarian, I'm FREE to do that, correct ?
Sure, you're free to be a prohibitionist, anti-liberty libertarian. ...and I'm a Laissez-faire Communist.
LOL Actually, I always have identified with the Libertarians more than the Reps. About the only place I disagreed with the policies was the drug issue. Other than that, works for me...
Not ignoring that at all. I completely agree with those statistics. During Soviet times, alcohol was an enormous problem and that stat was dead on, in my opinion. But we're talking about nowadays. Alcohol kills an estimated 40,000 people a year, that sounds about right - though there's no source quoted. But that's .02% of the population! Not 2%, not .2 but 2 thousandths of a percent! Whooopie! That does not support the "Most Russians are drunks" comment I have been arguing about. So, still, you've proved nothing. Keep trying, I'll be here.
You're talking to the guy who "proved", through research, that Hobbits live in Russia for heaven's sake.
