Should ecstasy be downgraded?

"Do I care about people taking E ? Nope. Do I care about people smoking a spliff ? Nope. I care about people who burgaled my house twice, who stole my car, who threw my moped down a flight of stairs, who broke into my rental home when it was unoccupied. Burglary has gone up, as recent figures show. So why are the government messing around with drug legislation when they should be putting more police on the beat and catching burglars, rapists, murderers. You know, the stuff people care about!"

- Do I care that Simon has been burgled? Nope. Do I care that Simon had his car stolen? Nope. Do i care someone threw his moped down a flight of stairs?...you can probably see where I'm going with this...

"Here's a question to all those who seem to be pro-drugs:

Would you rather your daughter took up horse-riding or ecstasy?

Enough said. Only an utter deluded, fool in self-denial could advocate a drug that alters the chemistry of your brain and is likely to lead to mental and physiological health issues later in life, if it doesn't kill you before."

- Ignoring the false dichotomy, I've got a few questions before I answer this. Who's buying the horse? Who's paying for the stable? The farrier? The vets fees? Am I going to have to get up at the crack of dawn to muck it out while Little Miss Lazybones stays in bed again?

Not so clear cut as you make out, is it Mr Shu! And let's not forget your last statement that could refer to pretty much anything produced by Glaxo-Wellcome in the last 20 years
