Look at the name of this SUB-FORUM that this thread is in and tell me what you see! @chingler is PERFECTLY entitled to post her OPINION in here!
The problem is that were were attributing your - obviously limited - personal experience over all pot smokers. This is like a person having a Fat person do some bad thing and attributing that bad thing to all fat people. This is the fallacy you are committing.
Sure...uh huh...it say POLITICAL OPINION and BELIEF. Calling people losers for smoking pot is....Political? LOL. She didn't even attempt to make this a political issue whatsoever.
Generalizing your myopic and very limited experience with a few pot smokers you encountered in high school to all pot smokers is anything but sound. Not recognizing one's mistakes (when one is shown this mistake) is childish .. rather than the "adult' thing to do. Anyone can make a mistake .. this is only human .. it is the fool who refuses correction.
I find pot smoking and tobacco smoking to be repulsive. I'm entitled to my opinion. I'm not sorry if that offends anyone.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion. I did not claim otherwise. You are also entitled to engage in fallacious gibberish. All I did was call you out on your fallacy and nonsensical claims. No need to be sorry about your fallacious nonsense all humans make mistakes. What is pathetic is admitting to these mistakes when pointed out.
So everything that you've said in this forum since you joined in October 2016, has been political? Surely you can't be serious!
I pointed out more than one mistake in your post - and you had no retort other than denial and deflection. Now you continue in this denial. This is not the path to enlightenment.
I'm with you regarding cigarette smoking. Such a vile disgusting habit. I have no idea why anyone would ever try smoking. In the past I have been asked how I wasn't curious to ever try smoking. What was I supposed to be curious about? Was I supposed to be curious what it would be like to smell like a dirty ashtray? Was I supposed to be curious what it would be like to get lung cancer? Emphysema? Heart disease? Seriously....what exactly about smoking was I supposed to be curious about?
I said pot smoking is repulsive to me and I explained (in part) why that is. It’s impossible to be wrong on an opinion. If I tell you yellow is my favorite color, will you also tell me I made a mistake?
I already said you had a right to your opinion. Your claim that it is impossible for an opinion to be wrong is abject nonsense. Where you went wrong was inferring that that your personal experience extended to all pot smokers and committing the generalization fallacy.
This guy reminds me of the leader of the prohibition movement back from the 1920's. He had a bad experience with one drunk guy, so he decided that all people who drank alcohol were evil.
