SOLO-NZ Press Release: Greenshirts Want to Have Their Hash-Cake and Eat it Too Submitted by Lance on Thu, 2007-11-01 01:29.
SOLO-NZ Press Release: Greenshirts Want to Have Their Hash-Cake and Eat it Too By Lance Davey November 1, 2007 Formulating your stance around either compelling or prohibiting everything will eventually leave you in a sticky situation, as the Greenshirts have discovered with their stance on cannabis use. Typically the greenie lifestyle fascists would like to prohibit or regulate everything that the latest trends are telling them is unhealthy (especially if it’s being produced by big multinational corporations such as McDonald's or Monsanto). Evidence be damned! If it's trendy, emotive, in keeping with the brain-dead greenie lifestyle, then they want to regulate or prohibit it for all. Just look at world-wide greenshirt reactions to those delicious trans-fats, red meat, alcohol and tobacco. The desire of your average eco-turd is to sustain himself on vegan diets, organic produce ... ya know, healthy shit. BUT, oh dear, some of them are partial to a bit of pot-smoking, so in a recent press release calling for marijuana law reform, off come the usual knee-jerk reactionary hats and on come the serious “evidence” and “reason” hats. Because all of a sudden, here's something THEY want. Here's something that, were they not to be hypocritical, would be banned by them. So they abandon their usual brain-dead, emotive modus operandi and all of a sudden want to talk about evidence and serious, unbiased study. “The Green Party recognises that the healthiest lifestyle is drug-free, but we also recognise that some current government policies do not reduce harm but rather create a further set of problems.” Nah, bollocks to that! You want to get stoned, and you're peeved that it's illegal. Just admit it, you wormy buggers. Well, ha frickin ha, it's mentalities like yours that led to its prohibition. Whether government policies do or do not reduce harm is irrelevant; what's relevant is: Are they prohibiting you from doing something that you wish to do that harms no others? You've run into a wall of your own making. Cut the crap, never mind about 'harm minimisation' or risk, just ask yourself if anyone has the right to tell you what you may, may not, must and mustn't put in your body.

What is the point of having cake that you can't eat?
Grace, that is because there is a widely, widely, WIDELY misquoted saying "you can't have your cake and eat it, too" ...when the correct wording is "you can't eat your cake and have it, too".
Oh dear!
Our first SOLO divorce?
Lance—I want dinner.
I'm not sure I understand
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying but... does this mean you don't want dinner?
Sorry Lance I am about to digress
What is the point of having cake that you can't eat? Every child understands the flaw in this old and stupid saying. If I have a damn cake I will damn well eat it too, it's my damn cake! Yes I understand that it is used 'metaphorically' but this metaphor has never worked with me as it seems an illogical waste of cake.
Also does anyone else, when
Also does anyone else, when reading news, automatically identify weasel-phrases such as "highlighted concerns" or "draw attention to" then mentally replace them with "spouted unfounded bullshit" or "get hysterical about"?
In an eerie alternate
In an eerie alternate universe:
"Cannicorp-NZ, the New Zealand arm of the world's largest manufacturer and distributor of marijuana cigarettes, today issued a press release countering claims by the Green Party that their products, specifically the active agent THC, were linked to psychosis, cancer and heart disease. The Green Party had earlier this month highlighted those concerns about the active agent in the cigarettes. When accused of baseless corporation bashing and compulsion touting, Green Party spokesman Nandor Tanzcos denied the accusations stating that their only concern lay with the safety and health of all New Zealanders. "You can't give people a choice not to be healthy, that's just illogical, you need to identify dangers and stop them from reaching the public. Our only concern is for the health and safety of New Zealand citizens both of which are under attack from 'Big Marijuana'." Tanzcos, whose religion promotes the use of tobacco, went on to say: "This does bring in to sharp relief the efforts to have standards applied consistently across the board, if Marijuana and BZP, both harmful and destructive substances, are legal and freely available, then why not tobacco. We will be petitioning to have the status of tobacco as a prohibited substance seriously looked at."
