According to my Webster's, committing crimes is engaging in immoral behavior. Moral relativism occurs when immoral behavior receives equal status in comparison to moral behavior. Enabling these junkies and disease carriers to further endanger society by making their lifestyle easier and more "acceptable" to maintain is, by definition, moral relativism, and, like most lefty "feel good" policies, solves no problems. It only promotes the socialist agenda, i.e., the nanny-state. Please do your homework, kid. Laziness does not promote positive discourse. Too bad the lefties in the public schools don't toss out their moral relativism. OOPS, there goes social promotion! No point in actually educating you lefty spawn. We don't want to hurt your feelings, now, do we?BEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127559050411509374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1159072499497858852006-09-23T21:34:00.000-07:002006-09-23T21:34:00.000-07:00You guys don't know what you are talking about.

If these drug addicts, who politicians have decided shouldn't be arrested nor prosecuted for their activities, don't clean their needles, they are likely to become HIV +. When they prostitute themselves or sleep with your sons/daughters, they are at risk for HIV infection. It's called cross-over, and I am dealing with such a case right now that involves a gay dude having sex with numerous females. If I don't bust my butt and try to find this guy, guess what happens? Nothing. He gets to potentially infect a bunch of females. Nice, huh? <BR/><BR/>Now tell me why law enforcement and our judicial system wouldn't do anything about this idiot? I am like the last line of defense when it comes to cross-over cases like this.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this kind of program should not be directed towards kids in school, but what about those punk kids in Pioneer Square? Should we let these runaways come up here, get HIV and infect the local population? I do my part to control it; the legal system needs to do it's part to remove these people from our streets for their illegal activity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1159043191048753742006-09-23T13:26:00.000-07:002006-09-23T13:26:00.000-07:00Kaelri, sober up and we will!Kaelri, sober up and we will!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1159042280483684252006-09-23T13:11:00.000-07:002006-09-23T13:11:00.000-07:00"Using illegal drugs to intoxicate yourself is imm...<I>"Using illegal drugs to intoxicate yourself is immoral."</I><BR/><BR/>Explain.Kaelrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14736094826717725347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-1159038763618308092006-09-23T12:12:00.000-07:002006-09-23T12:12:00.000-07:00Using illegal drugs to intoxicate yourself is immo...Using illegal drugs to intoxicate yourself is immoral.<BR/><BR/>Refusing to condemn such behavior and instead offer clean needles is moral relativism.

He was a local radio talk show host for a while in Eugene. He has a <A HREF="http://www.dancarlin.com/" REL="nofollow">website</A> with some of the greatest insights on modern problems I have ever heard. Currently on the sight is a suggestion for fixing the sad state of education that I believe you will find refreshing.

Shouldn't the message be: "Don't share needles, and for that matter, just don't do drugs at all. It's moronic and self-destructive." What happened to the "War on drugs"?<BR/><BR/>I feel as though I should expect this kind of garbage to come out of our state, but when it actually happens I find myself suprised.
