Do you agree or disagree?

Agree: Taxation under our current system IS a form of theft.

Agree: Abortion on Demand IS murder.

Disagree: Capital punishment is NOT murder, because it makes the murderer give up what he or she took away from someone.

Disagree: Some drugs are too powerful to allow their use for recreational purposes.

No.

Taxation is a tool of government to fund the needs of the many.

Abortion is killing (murder is when it is illegal) and should have consequences.

Capital punishment is not murder; it is killing (same grounds) and I agree. Put them on an isolated island and let them eek out their own living.

Drugs are not a victim-less crime unless you are willing to ignore what it does to families and the resulting crime that occurs due to addiction that causes increasing need for the drug.

That depends on what the person does while they're high.

Simple use of those kinds of drugs is victimless.

But some of them, bath salts being the first that comes to mind, often do have victims.

1st: Depends. Many things the government does for us (roads, schools, etc.) are vital and things that we must pay for. However, for social programs we do not need (or want), yes. It is theft.

2nd: Flat-out, yes. It is. In aborting a baby, you are taking the life of a pure and innocent human baby. No human has the right to take another human's life, regardless of circumstances. Ladies, sorry. But once you're pregnant, it's not just your body anymore. There's someone else there too.

3rd: Please refer to my above statement. An alternative that does just fine is life with no parole. Though, to be honest, I wouldn't blame many criminals for choosing the death penalty over that.

4th: No. The users are the victims, as well as their families, friends, and anyone else who see who and what their drugs have changed them into.

actually, cheating on your taxes is theft, capital punishment is a money-saving payback, and drug prohibition is an ineffective encroachment on freedom

Disagree, disagree, disagree, and marijuana drug use is victim-less, but I won't go that far about all the other drugs.

Unless you're a closed-minded idiot that sees everything in black and white and every case as the same then you have to disagree.

4) - Marijuana smoke and tobacco smoke share many characteristics with regard to chemical composition and toxicological properties. At least 33 individual constituents present in both marijuana smoke and tobacco smoke are already listed as carcinogens under Proposition 65. In examining the potential carcinogenicity of marijuana smoke, a range of information was evaluated. Studies of cancer risk in humans and laboratory animals exposed to marijuana smoke were reviewed. Other relevant data, including studies investigating genotoxicity and effects on endocrine function, cell signaling pathways, and immune function caused by marijuana smoke, were all considered. Also of interest were the similarities in chemical composition and in toxicological properties between marijuana smoke and tobacco smoke, and the presence of numerous carcinogens in marijuana smoke. The findings of all these reviews are summarized below. There is evidence from some epidemiological studies of people exposed to marijuana smoke suggestive of increased cancer risk from both direct and parental marijuana smoking. However, this evidence is limited by potential biases and small numbers of studies for most types of cancer. Studies reporting results for direct marijuana smoking have observed statistically significant associations with cancers of the lung, head and neck, bladder, brain, and testis. The strongest evidence of a causal association was for head and neck cancer, with two of three studies reporting statistically significant associations. The evidence was less strong but suggestive for lung cancer, with one of three studies conducted in populations that did not mix marijuana and tobacco reporting a significant association. Suggestive evidence also was seen for bladder cancer, with one of two studies reporting a significant association. For brain and testicular cancers, the single studies conducted of each of these endpoints reported significant associations. Among the epidemiological studies that reported results for parental marijuana smoking and childhood cancer, seven of eight found statistically significant associations. Maternal and paternal marijuana smoking were implicated, depending on the type of cancer. Childhood cancers that have been associated with maternal marijuana smoking are acute myeloid leukemia, neuroblastoma, brain astrocytoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Childhood cancers that have been associated with paternal marijuana smoking are leukemia, infant leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and rhabdomyosarcoma. - http://life.umt.edu/curry/DOcs-SOS/Current%20Peer%...

“These findings indicate that prenatal marijuana exposure has a significant (negative) effect on school-age intellectual development.” - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S...

“Pre-natal marijuana exposure had persistent negative effects through age 16 on higher-order thinking, including problem solving, memory, planning, impulsivity, and attention.”

Prenatal marijuana exposure significantly predicted child depressive symptoms and attention problems at age 10, after controlling for other significant covariates. Child depressive symptoms and attention problems at age 10 significantly predicted delinquency at 14 years.
