    I feel that drugs are not a subject thay should be condoned in any way.

    Please take notice.

    drugs can talk? so what, they've just been ignoring me all these years?

    ouch...


    on a serious note, netwhizkid.. why should anybody listen to you? you don't even have 200 posts. Go away. Also, I don't mod After hours. Learn to use boards before you start making suggestions.

    IMO netwhizkid, children shouldnt

    a - be allowed use the internet unsupervised

    b - be allowed read the boards unsupervised, after all there are a lot more "adult" issues being discussed than drugs, so please, think before you post this unhelpful type of threads

    Wow, I was just about to start a thread on AH about aspirin, but I'd better not now. Clearly it's inappropriate discussion material on these, our holy boards.

    But at least now I know the error of my ways; thanks to netwhizkid for explaining that the criminal underworld of Ireland thrives on the use and discussion of widely-available plants.

    Netwhizkid,drugs are around and they'll be around forever....kinda like hula hoops....mmmm.....gotta get me some of those....
    Anyway,my point is,kids should be made aware of drugs and their effects,not sheltered from knowledge! I realise the thread on AH isn't exactly highlighting the down side to drugs but afterall,unless people talked about drugs from time to time then what would we really know about them?How would you have even formed an opinion on them?

    People ABUSING drugs lead to crime.
    Recreational drug taking (a joint or even the odd pill) does not lead to the majority of crime in the country.

    It IS a serious issue but so are most of the topics discussed on boards.
    Imo even though Boards is a 'family friendly' site, it is not targeted at those young enough to be seriously influeneced by the opinions of strangers online.

    As that ad on tv says 'Taking drugs is illegal, talking about them isn't'.

    I refer you to my comments in the original thread.

    The line between the two is VERY fine indeed........

    But I agree with LadyJ - it is very important to talk about drugs and all its issues. If you know what to honestly expect (no inappropriate scare stories) - people make a rational choice and avoid them. Or at least only make a minor dabble......

    netwhizkid: A few points

    Firstly, Is mordeth a mod of AH? No. Therefore he can post whatever the **** he likes

    Secondly, Are they discussing something which is illegal? No. Therefore there is no risk of legal reprecussion to boards from this post, thus removing one major reason why the admins might care

    Thirdly, Is this a matter for Feedback? No. If you object to a post, and this is the important bit, Report It!

    Basically, I think I can see where your coming from....but you've chosen a damn stupid way to go about saying it. And please don't try to force your opinion on to others, it's most unsociable

    Sigh..

    Oh how I long for day when someone who is not familier with boards, and who posts in the style of a knee jeck reaction, gets more of the positive explanatory posts and less of the Mordeth et amgos replys, this could have been a useful thread.

    Why anyone would think that this sort of thing wins brownie points is beyond me, but then so much is!. Mod of AH it is so....

    If this was not the feedback forum I would have to prune 50% of this thread to weed out the inappropriate replys, which add nothing to the conversation other than an attempt to put down the original poster.

    Shame on you!... :)

    Maybe he was, or maybe it's something that's had a negative effect on his family or friends. Whatever.

    Gordon, can you close this thread please?

    Cheers,

    No, he can still do that. It's just likely to get him in hot water. Mods can act the tool as well.

    OP, just cause you can get high on life dosnt mean we all can.

    discussing drugs is not illegal, if it was, RTEs prime time would have been shut down along time ago.

    now i'm off to smoke a "cigarette".

    Obviously no one cares what i think but thats their choice, as for me wanting brownie points or me being a snitch, whatever i just wanted to highlight what I say a perhaps a potential problem, like kids as young as ten browse these boards, i started here at 14. by the way i also have 219 posts not less than 200, posts count dosn't really matter imo, I don't have broadband or i dont work in IT so how for the life of me but up the thousands of posts like other users. I have put up nearly 70 in the last month and that has strained me well.

    regards netwhizkid

    ps i'm not a fag*ot
