Why does George Soros want kids to smoke drugs?

[muman613]

I do not know what to make of this story. I read in the papers this morning that Billionaire Scumbag George soros just donated $1Million to the California legislation known as Prop 19. I realize that he is evil and a liberal and thus it makes sense that he would want to dumb down the nation so that he can pull the wool over the Proletariats eyes...

While I was generally against the proposition to begin with... I am beginning to sense that there is a lot more wickedness just under the surface. When we were in High School we read the Distutopian novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley where it was a part of the governments plan to create workers who were addicted to drugs and alcohol.

There is something evil about George Soros and this is another reason I am voting against Prop 19 this election..

To maintain the World State's Command Economy  for the indefinite future, all citizens are conditioned from birth to value consumption with such platitudes as "ending is better than mending," i.e., buy a new one instead of fixing the old one, because constant consumption, and near-universal employment to meet society's material demands, is the bedrock of economic and social stability for the World State. Beyond providing social engagement and distraction in the material realm of work or play, the need for transcendence, solitude and spiritual communion is addressed with the ubiquitous availability and universally-endorsed consumption of the drug soma. Soma is an allusion to a mythical drink of the same name consumed by ancient Indo-Aryans. In the book, soma is a hallucinogen  that takes users on enjoyable, hangover-free "holidays", developed by the World State to provide such inner-directed personal experiences within the socially-managed context of State-run 'religious' organizations, social clubs, and the hypnopaedically-inculcated affinity to the State-produced drug as a self-medicating comfort mechanism in the face of stress or discomfort, thereby eliminating the need for religion or other personal allegiances outside or beyond the World State.

Recreational sex is an integral part of society. According to The World State, sex is a social activity, rather than a means of reproduction, and sexual activity is encouraged from early childhood. The few women who can reproduce are conditioned to use birth control (a "Malthusian belt", resembling a cartridge belt holding "the regulation supply of contraceptives", is a popular fashion accessory). The maxim "everyone belongs to everyone else" is repeated often, and the idea of a "family" is considered pornographic; sexual competition and emotional, romantic relationships are rendered obsolete because they are no longer needed. Marriage, natural birth, parenthood, and pregnancy are considered too obscene to be mentioned in casual conversation. Thus, society has developed a new idea of reproductive comprehension.

Billionaire financier George Soros gave $1 million todayto support Proposition 19, California's ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana use.

Prop. 19 was having trouble attracting significant funding, and only just rolled out its first television ad Monday in the Los Angeles area; the big ante from Soros -- long a supporter of drug-reform efforts across the nation and here in California -- will allow a much more intense media blitz in the final week before Election Day.

But with so many people having already cast ballots by mail, it's not clear whether this will counter the measure's recent slump in the polls in enough time to make a difference.

It will, Dale Jones of the Yes on 19 campaign asserted Tuesday; she told reporters on a conference call that it "has always been an educational campaign," and Soros' money will further that mission.

"Once people have read the initiative and understand Prop. 19 and see what it will and will not do, we see overwhelming support," she said. "Every bit that supporters chip in, more people will get the right message."

As for the contribution's timing, "better late than never," Jones said. "We appreciate just in this last week that people are stepping up their efforts and redoubling their commitment."

Soros reported his contribution Tuesday morning to the Secretary of State's office, even as America woke up to his op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal in support of legalization.

Well it depends... I know a little about drugs myself... I do believe that without adequate education there will be addiction to other substances. While I agree that MJ is not the most dangerous drug {having smoked it myself for almost 15 years} it does lead to other drugs. Now I have argued against the 'gateway drug' label for pot but in my older age I realize that shortly after I started to use pot I got into all the other 'bad' drugs...

I do not think it is wise for young children to use this drug. I did not start to smoke it till I was about 19 years old.

I do support the medical use of Marijuana.

Re : There is something evil about George Soros

Well I bet there is... In a recent thread, I had the opportunity to recall the following facts. During WWII, George Soros' father was a Nazi sympathizer in Hungary who helped the Germans round up Jews for the Death camps. As a young man, in Budapest, George Soros was a courier for the Jewish Council, the Nazi-established and Nazi-run organization that ran the Jewish community. The Jewish Council was ultimately controlled by Adolf Eichmann ! In at least two television interviews, in 1994 and 1998, Soros freely admitted to his Nazi collaboration, and declared that he felt no guilt over his actions, or over the extermination of nearly a half million of his fellow Hungarian Jews. In his own words, in his introduction to his father’s book, George Soros admitted,“these ten months [of the Nazi occupation] were the happiest times of my life… We led an adventurous life and we had fun together.”

In the Hebrew media I never saw any mention to the fact that Soros is an unrepentant collaborator with the Nazis. The harm that this animal has been causing Jews over the years is unimaginable. This Nazi collaborator and a huge financier of Jew hating organizations, who also, curiously enough, personify for the antisemites the typical ruthless greedy Jewish capitalist.

I think I'm one of the few people here who supports the legalizing of some drugs. I do not believe it is the governments job to tell people what they can or can't do with their own body (as long as it does not harm anyone else) even if I do think that doing drugs is stupid (which I do)

While I might admit even it may not be the govt's job, they've already done this job.  So I can't see any compelling reason to change it or undo it.   Might as well leave things as they are, in my opinion.   I don't think major changes for the sake of some abstract principle are always necessary or beneficial.

the drug war costs us a legendary amount of money. To enforce the drug laws and to keep people in prison costs too much, we could use some tax breaks now.

And what will be the social cost of legalizing it? There are associated costs to society which you are ignoring. If the long term health of the country will be impacted how much will the treatment for lung cancer and other diseases cost? How about lost productivity? How about the cost in lives on the freeways? Just because there is a cost to enforce laws doesn't mean that those laws should not be enforced.

take all the trouble that weed causes and multiply that by 10 and you get alcohol. we tried banning that but we know how much that failed. besides, Holland, which legalized weed has much less potheads than the USA. we can tax the weed to cover for the diseases it will cause. we can enforce stronger DUI laws for the freeways. also, think of the social implications of having weed illegal. we put highschool students in jail for getting high. yes, HS students should not smoke pot to begin with, but when they go to jail, it hurts their education, making the problem only a million times worse. If pot was legal, drug contracts would be enforced by the court system, but because it is illegal, it is enforced by violence. speaking of the violence, the implications on Mexico is much worse than it is on us. parts of their country are no longer controlled by the mexican government, but by the cartels. if the cartels cannot illegally sell weed because someone else is doing it legally, they will run out of business same way al-capon's gangs did.  if you don't think its important what happens to mexico that think about how bad it is to have a giant Somalia next to our 2 most powerful states. even right now, Arizona is controlled by the drug cartels 80 miles in. and if the drug cartels take more parts of mexico, it will be an even bigger hellhole, meaning more illegal immigrants.

The cost of the weed will go up due to the increase in demand. I also don't buy the argument that the drug gangs will be affected in the least by this. Actually I think they will make out a lot better. Also there will be the old gangster protection rackets being pulled {having to pay the gangs for 'protection' from the gangs themselves}.

I think here in California the laws are liberal enough. Right down the street from me is a nice Medical Marijuana dispensary. This is medicine and it should be dealt with. Here in california anyone can go to a doctor and get a prescription {it is very easy}. They also recently decriminalized under and ounce of weed {now it is just like a traffic violation}.

There is no really good reason to make it legal to everyone, especially to young folks.

Drug war?   The war is mainly about real drugs like cocaine and heroine.  Believe me, you do NOT want those people released from jail and living amongst us!

I was talking about Marijuana only.   I cannot believe you would want to legalize cocaine and similar drugs.   Even the most nutty libertarian can't honestly expect something like that.

i would not legalize cocaine because you can make crack out of that. but weed and some of the lighter stuff should be legal.
