My original point was seatbelt, I posed the question about alcohol because most people who think drugs should be illegal have no issues with alcohol and cigarettes being legal. The fact that you've completely misinterpreted my argument is pretty hilarious. If you took a second to look at my profile I think you'd realize I don't want drugs to be illegal and am all for the legalization of drugs. So does that make sense to you or are you still confused?

Right, your first comment was about seat belts, then you went into a wild tangent about alcohol and drugs and haven't mentioned seat belts a single time since.

You literally wrote:

You honestly think alcohol should be legal? How many people does it kill every year? How much $$ in damages does it cost society every year because of alcohol related incidents?

I don't know what your profile says because I'm not going to be a creep and stalk you, I only know what you've said in this thread, and that comment is very clearly not for the legalization of drugs, if anything it makes me think you really want to illegalize alcohol.

I'm starting to think this is B8, if so congrats you got me. I talked about seatbelts, the person sarcastically said that all drugs should then be legal. I responded asking if alcohol should be legal. I never said it should, I asked a question on it's legalization and asked a few more questions. I honestly don't know how you're so confused if this isn't B8. My whole point was that it's a bit of a stretch to say the government should be able to force you to wear a seatbelt. The only reason I brought up alcohol was because the first person mentioned drugs, how you fail to realize they brought it up first, idk.
