Earning money in grand scale will also inhibit your morale. If you're a twat before you start earning money, Earning alot of money will likely make you more of a twat.
Sorry but my argument is backed up by countless independant studies about "gateway drugs" and the effect of depressants on human social behaviour so i'm happy to call it a fact

You are using a totally irrelevant example and throwing your opinion out there as fact. Earning money does not have a direct, immediate, consistent biochemical influence on the brain.

Furthermore, i do not at any point mention morality. I'm talking about inhibitions. The two are not the same.

I left alcahol out of the discussion as it complicates the discussion and my post was already long enough for one done at work...Finally i'm not anti-weed i'm actually pro-legalise weed as i think it's a waste of the police's fucking time trying to deal with it and will remove the sale of such things from the criminals and place it in the hands of hopefully more trustworthy people.

So would you agree that people who strictly buy free-range meat/eggs/whatever have the moral high ground to call this guy a wanker?

The fact is, most decent people would accept that what the stoner did was horrible and cruel. Most decent people would also say the same about the way some animals are kept in farms. It's a question of exposure - most people aren't exposed to that sort of thing and don't think about it. It's just human nature. If they were taken for a leisurely stroll through some of the really bad farms, I expect their reaction would be much the same.

You put out a massive generalisation that eating meat is cruel, but now it seems that your problem is the way some/a lot of animals are kept. So would you concede that eating meat isn't necessarily cruel if you actually make a point of purchasing from farms that treat their livestock humanely?

What i said was "as long as we treat animals worse than the bong guy we dont have the moral high ground to blame him"

So is killing an animal worse than putting it in a bong? As i desperately want to end this debate now i'll leave that unanswered. You decide. :p

Well in my opinion, no. Not inherently anyway.

Yes and no - yes on the count that it'd be funny to give her an atomic donkey punch at the end, but no in she's gone from cute schoolgirl (image) to a skanky whore in all but her bank balance.
