And, I never said that a temple recommend was a litmus test for morality.
A WoW violation is not a moral issue (except, I suppose one could argue that a deliberate violation of the law is a moral issue, but the mere consumption of the bad stuff is not a moral issue). That is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
I agree with you but from the Church's POV it appears to not agree with you. I assumed you were taking the Church's stand.
The church appears to have a desire to make WoW violations a morality issue. Do you feel that way? That is how I looked at it after listening to my priesthood leaders humbly and obediently.

I think I'd rather see the police truncheoning hippies, beatniks, thugs, and bikers on every corner until they've stopped using drugs. Round up addicts and give them the choice of a year in isolation or life in prison unless they finger who they're getting drugs from and work your way up the line with ever increasing incarceration times. etc. etc. My own kid? Do it.
It sounds to me like bcspace might have a job in the prison industry, perhaps the lobby itself?.

For some reason, I'm picturing Broderick Crawford beating the crap out of Maynard G. Krebs. Not only is bcspace a time traveler, but he's a conglomeration of 1950s TV stereotypes. Awesome.

I didn't smoke while in law school until my last semester. I did estimate that about half of the students at any given party were smokers, and some of those much more than that. I was still too straight.
Missed out on some good parties.

I am having difficulty getting past the guilty untill proven innocent aspect of Spaces desired policy. From him I expect revolting opinions but this one suprised me.

There are risks to just about everything. Some are claiming that
Mobile phones 'more dangerous than smoking', and
Obesity Health Risks: Weight May Pose a Greater Health Risk than Smoking. If you live in a large city, too, try to breathe less if you can.

Bc, would you give an exemption to dopers like William F. Buckley who travel outside the three mile limit on their yachts to have a toke? Isn't it best to reserve the flogging for those miscreant hippies, beatniks and neer-do-wells?
