So, are you speaking out about all of the other activities that cost you money because of higher insurance rates such as driving cars, jogging, playing football, riding bicycles, eating fast food, etc?

Maybe it doesn't show up on phone apps. I'm using a computer and every post I make has the edit gear icon in the upper right corner of the post.

In that case we should ban all fast food, sugary drinks, desserts, etc. If you are obese, you should go to a government run fat camp. We should also outlaw poverty.

So what you are saying everything should be legal and there should be no restrictions at all?

Yes, that's my Libertarian philosophy.

 

Libertarianism (from Latin: libertas, meaning "freedom") is a collection of political philosophies and movements that uphold liberty as a core principle. Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association and individual judgment.

 

Especially civic liberty.

There was certainly a racial component of the early marijuana laws.

Not to dip my toes too deep into the political pool but that's also how gun restriction laws started.

That is much better than letting misguided/corrupt/imperfect politicians dictate what they deem legal. Between alcohol, tobacco, fast food, and THC, THC is the least deadly substance by a huge huge margin. If you are really worried about your tax dollars/insurance premiums/etc being squandered, THC is the absolute least of your problems. If anything, if legal, it could dramatically decrease the public health/economic impact of many of the other legal substances available for american's to consume. Unless of course you too believe it is the Devil's lettuce and laced with sin.

I turn it sideways because the layout changes, page becomes bigger and easier for my fat sausage fingers to click things when surfing webpages.

Governments should not tell me what I can eat, drink or smoke.

 

Why do you think a few adults should have the power to tell all other adults what to consume?

There was no conspiracy. Just ignorance and racism.

 

Harry Anslinger took the scientifically unsupported idea of marijuana as a violence-inducing drug, connected it to black and Hispanic people, and created a perfect package of terror to sell to the American media and public. By emphasizing the Spanish word marihuana instead of cannabis, he created a strong association between the drug and the newly arrived Mexican immigrants who helped popularize it in the States. He also created a narrative around the idea that cannabis made black people forget their place in society. He pushed the idea that jazz was evil music created by people under the influence of marijuana.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. The notion that M is violence inducing has got to be one of the greatest lies of all time.

Sounds like anarcho-capitalism. Is it just this one area where you feel the need to cast of the shackles of government or is it more broadly based?

Label it whatever you choose. Governments have an important role; just not a nanny role.

As can be seen in this thread, there are differences of opinions regarding the justness of using marijuana. If we can't agree on something like marijuana, what makes you think people can agree on much larger issues? Many people think the death penalty is unjust. Under your proposition, those people are justified in attempting to break out of prison those who are on death row. To use an example you previously brought up: I have no doubt that there are some people who live in this country that think slavery is a right and any law prohibiting it is unjust... should these people be allowed to enslave others? The problem with using justness and morality as yardsticks is that they are subjective measures which differ amongst everyone in society. Abortion is a great example. I fully understand the arguments on both sides, and both sides have moral soap boxes they can stand on. Who is right? There is no clear answer. What is clear, or at least discernible enough to follow, is the laws regarding abortion. One can easily determine if their planned actions are legal or illegal when the law is one's yardstick.

> > Whether you believe a law is just or unjust, obeying that law should not be an option. Obeying the law is objective; it is binary. Sometimes, following the law sucks, but it is what needs to be done. When I was in the Middle East, I had to follow innumerable laws and rules that were in place to protect those trying to kill me despite the fact that I knew that none of my enemies were going to follow the same laws and rules. I may have thought the laws were unjust, or at least unjust in application, but that didn't give me the right to disobey them, even if it meant my likelihood of survival was decreased.

That is not the society we live in, and as such, we cannot allow people to choose which laws they wish to follow. While I don't think it functions well, we have governments in place (local, state, and federal) that set the rules. Any time we disagree with those rules, we can petition our representatives to change them. That is the proper way to object to a law which one feels is improper and/or unjust... disobeying the law is not.

Tell me, Leo, who in your opinion have the power to define what kind of law is unjust and give themselves the permission or even an obligation to break that law? And who will decide they will not be punished for breaking those laws?

That is called democracy. Don't forget that the freedom of speech loved and praised by so many US citizens is one of the corner stones of democracy while breaking the laws is not.

Every adult has that power. Most choose not to use it.

 

If you choose to disobey an unjust law you should expect to be punished if you are caught. When the underground railroad people decided to illegally help slaves escape, they knew they would be punished if caught.

Indeed. Those who have enough brain to understand why laws in a democracy need to be respected.

 

Roadking, just for your information, every law in this world is unjust in the eyes of at least one individual. According to your philosophy it means that all the laws are unjust and should be broken by at least someone.

 

How does that sound as a functioning society?

 

It is clear that this conversation leads nowhere and it is very far from golf so I withdraw at this point.

Whether you realize it or not, although I think you do, all laws, rules, and regulations are legislated by a 'few' to govern the many. In a similar way, the few (tournament committee) can legislate for the many (golfers). If a tournament committee decides against M use, they have that right. You may not like it, but you are obligated to follow it.

[Roadking2003]

> @Mikey5e said:

Absolutely. If I enter a tournament I have to abide by their rules. I can choose to not enter if I don't like their rules.

 

My issue with tournament committees with regard to banned substances is their inconsistency.

[Mikey5e]

Many comments made in this thread, most are good, some not necessary and maybe out of bounds, but the one thing I understand as being the main truth is that the tournament committee is the deciding factor on what goes on within a particular golf tournament. Argue all you want whether it should or should not be banned or allowed, but the tournament committee has the final say.

There has to be some limitations on the committee's power. It would be foolish to grant the committee absolute power. Next thing you know, they'll be banning metal spikes and purple tees.

Yeah, I don’t agree with this at all. Legality exists if there is something illegal. Besides, humans and our societies are built on rules. Anarchism and nihilist beliefs are easy to fall prey to, especially with the terrible things happen today but with a nihilistic world, we will still end up getting a class system albeit highly different from the one we’re familiar now. It’s not about restrictions, rules are the foundations of human interactions
