it doesn't matter. the trick is that some say 'live and let live' and others say 'i don't understand it, or want to do it, so it must be wrong'. people who hunt just want to maintain that right-why should they change?

rupert, no one is saying 'i hunt, you must hunt too'. so why should you be able to say 'i don't hunt, don't comprehend it, so no one should do it'??

As I said before, i would never say someone shouldn't do something simply because I don't like it, if it a victimless activity. I don't care what you do in your home. But when I see someting that I think is an injustice, it's a different story.

Let's take horseracing. There are some animal rights groups that are against it. Whether I agree with them or not, I totally respect their objections to horseracing. I think they have every right to object. They think it is cruel and that is understandable. That wouldn't be the same as a group objecting to a victimless crime like smoking marijuana in your home. Can't you see why people would object to something they think is cruel?

It's cruel that in support of your "victimless" crime, thousands die every year in Mexico in horrible ways but since you partake, it's cool.

Because I think marijuana should be legal, you assume that I smoke? In the last 15 years, I have smoked marijuana a total of 1 time. I was never into marijuana or any drugs. When I was a teenager, I smoked marijuana 2 or 3 times a year.
