Legislative revolution in Israel?

Support for SSM makes it hard to win the South because the South is very religious.

I don't think anyone cares about marijuana legalization though. It's something that 99% of the people who take more than 5 seconds to think about it are in favor of.

So you favor it remaining illegal because you think it's a good release valve for criminals? So inherent in your support for prohibition is the acknowledgement that it's basically harmless?

People don't support gay marriage because they're religious or homophobic or some combination of the two. When someone says they're opposed, I don't become curios at all.

Why be opposed to marijuana legalization though? THAT's a weird one.

hifly, why do you oppose marijuana legalization?

[Famous Mortimer]

It's a shame this thread has been hijacked, because it was very interesting. Can we talk about legislation in Israel and not about hifly15's political views? You can take that to individual politics.

Is this going to be real civil marriage or is it going to be civil unions (non-marriage marriage equivalent) on demand?

I really am interested to know why people oppose marijuana legalization though. It's such a bizarre view.

No one cared about the Iraq wars legality, they cared about its morality. No one opposed would have switched if the UN had given it a rubber stamp.
