POLL: No One Should Ever Use Drugs

I would like to amend my vote to:
"Ride a horse over a cliff - without a parachute". I mean safety first and all that.

Never work with children or animals. You'll always be upstaged.

Except when the good effects outweigh the bad. If you ride a horse off a cliff, you have the horse to break your fall, unless you're on drugs so you were really imagining the horse. So maybe you shouldn't mix drugs and horses.

I pretty much have to say I love how 84% of your poll-taking readers (as of now) would rather say to not ride a horse off a cliff than to not do any kinds of drugs.

Congratulations!

Or something along those lines.

I must admit, I'm kind of surprised that even 13% of your readership feels that you should, at some point in time in your life, ride a horse off a cliff.

In Response to Sophomoric (#35991):

Maybe it's a very tiny cliff.

In Response to themysticalone (#35995):

Maybe it's also a very, very tiny horse.

In Response to Sophomoric (#35991):

The poll doesn't offer an "all of the above" option. Responding "You should never do drugs" does not also mean "You should definitely ride your horse off a cliff."

On the other hand, perhaps you should...

this poll doesn't have a "none of the above" option

In Response to Beeeej (#36000):

Perhaps I already have, explaining why I am astonished at people believing it's ever okay? Have you been to a riding a horse off a cliff survivors meeting? It's a total eye-opener.

Besides, drugs is pretty ambiguous, and even under the circumstances that it be applied purely to narcotics, marijuana has been shown to have some positive effects, such as for individuals with glaucoma. So perhaps we should ride our horses over a cliff... Together.

In Response to themysticalone (#35995):

Like a cliff set to 1:100 scale? I guess I could see that working out pretty well.

In Response to Sophomoric (#36004):

Or maybe I was talking about this guy [tvland.com].

It worked for James Bond, it sure as hell should work for me...

Zerika, is that you?

As someone who actually has ridden a horse of a cliff, albeit a very small one, I must say that doing drugs is a much less harmful experience.

In Response to Sophomoric (#36003):

No, but I have been to a meeting of People Who Still Don't Get That Nobody's Vote in This Poll Implies That It's Ever Okay to Ride a Horse Off a Cliff. It was so depressing, I ran out of the meeting and tried to kill myself by riding an elk over the side of a gorge.

In Response to Beeeej (#36018):

You assume that I actually thought that people saying "Don't do drugs!" were also saying "Do drugs!" It's a logical fallacy to assume that just because someone doesn't say "You should never ride your horse off a cliff" that they are saying that you should. In fact, it could just be that they feel there are some circumstances that it would be perfectly okay, or that they feel drugs bring you down a better road.

Still, to think that drugs have a greater potential of harm than riding a horse over a cliff is still silly, especially those who think that medical drugs are harmful.

Anyway, you're silly.

In Response to Sophomoric (#36022):

Nah, medical drugs are only harmful if you don't actually have to take them. Or if you get them all discombobulated with each other. But thankfully, we have an entire medical establishment that would:

A) Be so highly trained and perfected as to never make a mixup like that, much less have a high degree of mixups like that.

B) Always have the interests of the patient in mind (and never their own pocketbook, for shame!)!

Drug, drugs? Same thing. Why would I need them? I'm doing just fine, thank you! : )

Not to mention how 'horse over the cliff' would be like drug assisted suicide....

Silliness is what makes the world turn without all the creaks. It's like world axle grease.

In Response to Sophomoric (#36022):

You assume that I actually thought that people saying "Don't do drugs!" were also saying "Do drugs!" It's a logical fallacy to assume that just because someone doesn't say "You should never ride your horse off a cliff" that they are saying that you should.

The first thing you said above is absurd and has nothing to do with anything I said. The second thing you said above is exactly what I've been trying to tell you.

Seriously, man, you need better drugs. Or better cliffs, or something.

In Response to Beeeej (#36037):

There arent many options to choose..I think to ride horse off a "tinyyy" cliff is absolutely psycho =) But it can be fun..Dont you think =)hoh.. i dont want to try this..but i think drugs cannot be better possibility.There will be many injured people...... ;p ugly..unpleasure (= Ok,that all =)..go on my theoryyy =)

In Response to Beeeej (#36037):

Actually, I just had a lapse of concentration. I meant to say:

You assume that I actually thought that people saying "Don't do drugs!" were also saying "Do ride horses off cliffs!" It's a logical fallacy to assume that just because someone doesn't say "You should never ride your horse off a cliff" that they are saying that you should.

In other words, you assumed that I actually meant what I said without a hint of irony. You need a tune up to your humour detectors, or something. I suggest some valium or something before you shit yourself.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#36025):

Obviously because I say not all drugs are dangerous, I mean that drugs are NEVER dangerous. Ever. Never ever, ever, ever. I cannot stress enough that drugs are never harmful.
