SCB Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Heaven forbid he actually did something bad. I've never taken drugs in my life but of people want to smoke a bit of weed then let them FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Obviously Michael has been under a lot of strain - but - there can be no excuse for Drug Taking. I find this all rather sad. A brilliant - but - flawed genius. I sincerely hope that he can get his life back together again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he is some Junkie lying wasted in the corner of a squat somewhere . Smoking a bit of weed is no different to going down the pub for a couple of pints , I can't see how his life will have been disrupted at all , 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being illegal doesn't make it wrong just as being legal doesn't make it right. What someone wants to get up to in their own time when it doesn't impact others is the business of nobody else.

Vincent Blachshadow Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Being illegal doesn't make it wrong just as being legal doesn't make it right. What someone wants to get up to in their own time when it doesn't impact others is the business of nobody else. According to his brief he was using speed to keep him going whilst tuning and building engines for sporting motorcycles. Not impacting on others? Being illegal DOES make it wrong. We can't pick and choose which laws each of us abides by. Edited July 26, 2013 by Vincent Blackshadow 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 He took Drugs - that is illegal and wrong. END OF!!! Oh - and since when do you get Fined up for drinking a couple of pints? Illegal is one thing but wrong is another,and debatable,Smoking a packet of Marlboro is legal but is it right or wrong? if alcahol was discovered today no doubt it would be made illegal Next time you drive 2 Mph over the speed limit are you classes as bad? Some of our laws are out of touch with reality, as are some people 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
