Excellent contributions, everybody!
It's pretty obvious that the arguments for are well thought out & presented, whereas a lot of the arguments against seem to be really emotion charged (Brian R. Purdue's post is hilarious, purely for the irony

C'mon Bluelighters let yourselves be heard!!!
Well done to everyone who has voted and an extra pat on the back for those who voiced an opnion - I knew there are people that are passionate

Well Brain Perdue is a moron, can't even read a post properly, and some of the others on the "No" side are just as hopeless... If we could convince these people that Ecstacy is not evil then we could convince anyone... not much chance of that tho

Yeah I wouldn't worry about Brian Perdue's comments - they are not even worth a reply, just ignore him unless you enjoy a debate with a 5 yr old.

Yeah good move tarsarlan - replying will just fuel the fire for more stupid comments from him - I don't mind people argueing against, as long as what what I'm reading is constructive, informative and/or factual - qualities that his posts do not posses. Give it the due respect it deserves - ignorance

Not hard to see why Bluelighter needs to take the stuff. His inability to show any kind of tolerance is probably a very strong argument for him having humane qualities chemically induced.
The Public Debate site has been attacked here and without any ground. I find surprising that people can come here for a whinge about the way our site is moderated when they could simply send us a feedback message and get the response to any of their queries within 24h.
It's not good enough to spread rumours and innuendo. Public Debate is an open forum and messages posted by the readers are never deleted because we don't agree with them. The only kind of moderation that usually takes place is the fixing up of messages who contain too many typos because they are hard to read.
If 75 or 80% of people believe Ecstasy should not be legalised, it's because the majority of people in a democracy are opposed to it. Live with it.
The Internet is not about setting up your little patch to bump into people whom you know already have the same opinion as yourself. It's about having the balls to mix it with the big boys on forums where you might not get your own way. Unfortunately, it would seem the few who post here are not interested in any proper debate. They are just looking for somebody flying the same flag.
Well, have fun with it. It's like kids playing in a sandpit. It's a great tiny insulated world, but it's hardly meaningful when it comes to the big picture.

PublicDebate - Yes I agree which is why I encouraged people to go into the public debate arena and present their views - responding only to post that are worth responding. How people respond is up to them, you have to accept this fact in an open forum - don't like it, then leave - pretty simple
p.s. - I'd be more worried about the posts against MDMA use - their igonrant, close minded responses leave alot to be desired. At least people can offer sceintific evidence to support their arguments - how many know what MDMA actually is and how many are responding to the crap the media has fed them.
I'd rather be a Bluelighter than be stuck with the intelligence shown by Brian R. Purdue. Methinks you should spend more time reading your own forum before coming and making comments on this board - nuff' said...
