You COMPLETELY missed the point. I was not asking for examples of their use of the word "ethical", nor did my post in any way imply such.
You reading comprehension sucks.
I was asking for example of pharmaceutical companies "to distinguish themselves from generic pharmaceutical companies".
Read the wheel thread before you make a post that completely fails to address a point. You'll avoid looking like an idiot again (sadly, you couldn't do it this time).
"No, in other words he's being a rational open minded person who isn't treating science like a holy can't-do-no-wrong religion."
Really? So when he says "Did we just re-invent cancer?" He's not being an irrational luddite? To automatically assume this is in some way related to cancer speaks directly to his state of mind, and rational it ain't. Nice try though.
Then there's this
"Few people here who tag it are even being serious in the first place"
HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY FUCKING KNOW THAT?
See, where I come from, when someone makes a statement that they can't possibly know to be true, but then pretends that it is, they are a liar. I suspect it's the same where you come from, so you, are in fact, lying.
As someone else said, this has ZERO to do with logic and reason and everything to do with the same stupid, infantile pessimism that people in their late teens and early twenties seem to think sets them apart from the crowd.
Then they grow up and realize they were being idiots. You will too, I hope.
"That's not anti-science or irrational, that's being a realist."
NO IT ISN'T. Again, your opinion is worthless. Being a REALIST is understanding that there will ALWAYS be unintended consequences, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO MITIGATE THEM. Attempting to make yourself look smarter than the other guy by coming up with some stupid, inconsequential objection isn't realism by any definition, it's just pathetic.
The tag is stupid, not funny, clever, or even useful. It's just ANOTHER attempt by the crowd here to find something they can glom onto, and be temporarily important by association, like "first post" or "in soviet russia" etc.
I don't need tired memes and second hand humor. I certainly don't need some armchair researcher with no more qualifications than a ficus to spout off about "whatcouldpossiblygowrong". They CAN'T know and the speculation is invariably simplistic to the point of uselessness.
Guess what losers, you're not clever if you appropriate someone else's humor. You're exactly what those of you using this tag are IRL, humorless dorks with no chance of saying or doing anything of import, unless it's regurgitating something someone with some real insight and humor came up with long ago.
Go through ANY Slashdot discussion and you'll see the highest percentage of posts with +4 and +5 moderation are those that do exactly what you say, that is, display a pessimistic/sarcastic attitude, often in relation to a seemingly trivial fault.
The arrogance necessary to place yourself in a position where something is seemingly obvious to you, but not to professionals who have devoted their lives to the study of the subject, amazes me.
Ultimately, it's much easier to find fault for small minds. The "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" tag is a sign that says "I have a small mind" as loudly as if you had a bullhorn.
Nice that you found time to admit that all the things I've said about you are true.
Perhaps if you spent less time pretending you're engaging in sex as a way to avoid admitting you got destroyed by me, you'd actually HAVE some real sex.
As it is, you're still dancing for me, and you can't stop.
You'll always reply, because you're life is that empty and meaningless.
Both examples had the individuals using pot a few hours before they drove.
The length of action for pot exceeds the time given for both cases, so pot was AT THE VERY LEAST, partially DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE.
So, unequivocally, you're wrong. Stop looking for a stupid excuse and admit you go this one wrong, that "directly attributable" garbage for a substance known to cause impairment of perception makes it clear you're not thinking this through, or even interested in proof.
Read the links loser, your argument fails totally, and you sound like a fucking moron making it
I gave you EXACTLY what you asked for. That you hate that it proves you totally wrong is not my fault, it's yours for making an imbecilic argument in the first place.
There you go, enough sources to shut you the fuck up once and for all.
Don't tell me I'm wrong douche, it's my field of expertise and I've worked in it, done original research in it, and know it far better than you ever will.
You are wrong. Your source DOES NOT say what you think it does, and you've made an ass of yourself making a point that anyone with cursory knowledge of the subject sees right through.
Now, this is when you read the links I gave you, then come back and admit you're a lying asshole.
I'll wait lying asshole, but you won't read the links and you won't be back, because you're too fucking stupid to ever admit you got anything wrong.
But this time you did, you got it all wrong and fucked up colossally.
"Same with cocaine - the thing that makes your nose fall off isn't the drug it's the other crap."
Actualy no, it's the cocaine.
More importantly, cocaine itself causes a process called "up regulation" which causes permanent changes in brain chemistry. Bad changes in case you're wondering.
I'd say with a few exceptions, most recreational drugs are pretty safe. Coke is not. It, by far, has the most severe effects, and is not something anyone should be messing around with.
"It makes people paranoid and stupid and is linked to paranoid schizophrenia."
That's a lie. You have no source for this, and won't be able to present one.
"It should not be legalized. Those who have severe medical problems that a doctor says mandate smoking pot have a right that the rest of us 300 million people do not have."
Hey FUCKWIT, we all have the same rights, this statement is so wrong that it's almost comical.
"300 million people are not affected by this"
They take my tax money to fight the war on drugs AND incarcerate non-violent offenders. The consequences are to SOCIETY, regardless of whether someone "pays their fair share" or not. Lost production, lost resources, increased crime and violence. YES, 300 million people are affected by this, don't let the fact that you're too stupid to see past first level thinking negate the consequences. Your ignorance does not change reality.
"You're extremely judgmental."
Funny coming from someone that says "Pot does ruin lives". So no only are you a liar, you're a hypocrite too.
You don't know the first thing about rights and responsibilities, but the good news is you're probably too stupid to find a voting place, much less fill in a ballot.
Stop sharing your opinion. You'll sound far less idiotic that way.
GGP was speaking in absolutes. If you choose to do that, any example that moots your point is acceptable.
Blame the idiot GP for choosing never when he should have chosen rarely.
"If parent want's to partake in a discussion"
Again, fuck you. You're not the discussion police, no matter how hard you try to set yourself up that way. No, you're actually a whiny fuck who hates that he's unable to refute GP.
"Until a media consortium hired independent assessors to evaluate the ballots, and found that the Gore got more than Bush votes in Florida in 2000."
That's a fucking lie, your link says nothing of the kind.
It says a lot about you that you'd choose to lie about a subject like this. It's obviously more important to you to be right thn to be honest, and amazingly, you failed on both counts.
"This basically proves that fraud could have easily happened and been undetectable."
Absolutely. In exactly the same way, your posts prove you're a fucking idiot.
If you don't know WHY you're an idiot, go back and examine your post. It describes quite clearly why you're too fucking ignorant of this process to have an informed opinion.
And yet, you share your demonstrably ignorant opinion as though it was worth listening to...
I know every time I prove you're aliar, you rush to post something openly vulgar and sexual to avoid admitting you're a liar.
"I'm working up a good load of semen..."
I'm sure you are, this discussion with me is by far the closest you've ever been to actual sex, and I'm easily the most attractive person you've ever interacted with.
Seriously though, what you're actually doing is avoiding the issue because you're wrong and you know it. That's why the vulgarity, you have no point and no intellect to form one, so you head straight to that which you know best, lying about sex. Seeing as lying about it is as close as you've ever been, I can understand why you'd obsess over something that is beyond your ability to obtain.
That said, how pathetic are you that your oh so predictable response to being proven wrong is to go straight to vulgarity? Are you really so stupid that you can't defend your point?
Yes, actually, you are that stupid.
And I do own you.
And no, you're not getting aroused, or jizzing, or any of that other 3rd grade drivel. You're bawling because you got STFU and have no response other than the same tired, trite, unoriginal and easily dismissed pre-school sex banter.
How does it feel to know I'm your better in every way and be completely unable to do anything about it? Does it make you want to respond with more vulgarity, since you're so predictable?
Of course it does. You're my bitch, you dance when I say so. Like you will now.
"Stupid cunt, they can arrest you after they've stopped you for a moving violation"
Which, again has nothing to do with the moving violations and everything to do with being arrested, which you leave out in your original moronic rant. You said something dumb and I caught you, own up slut.
You're wrong and stupid. Being a dick about it just reinforces how stupid you are.
"I'm talking about the basic question of our rights and the government protecting, not trampling, them."
NO, you;re displaying your ignorance of the Constitution and the decisions made that relate to it.
But you're a moron, why would I expect you to know that you're wrong...
"Especially if you're going to burst in here with your foul, obnoxious stupidity just because I spank you out of every thread you bray your worthless assery."
If by "spank" you mean "whine like a bitch and post more wrong garbage" then yes, that's exactly what you do.
Meanwhile I just post what's correct and watch you rush to defend the only thing in your life that matters, your slashdot reputation. How fucking pathetic that you have to lie in order to give your sad empty life any meaning.
Thanks for making it so easy to make your loser ass DANCE! How does it feel to be my bitch AGAIN?
Hey, I've got an idea, how about you challenge me to a fight then not show up again? I enjoyed that.
"The only relevant question is whether a cop stopping you for speeding or running a red light has probable cause to search your papers and personal effects for anything else."
Great point that's completely irrelevant, as this discusses searches incident to ARREST not traffic stops, which are not arrests and do not apply to this discussion in any way. Obviously yo bring them up to inflame, and because you're more interested in a moronic rant than the actual issue which you fail to address in any way.
Once again you prove you're too stupid to bother with understanding the subject of conversation before opening your dicksucker.
Seriously though, what's it like being mentally retarded? Do you even know you're retarded, or is it one of those things you just are and don't even recognize as being different?

"It is evil because the big pharma corporations call themselves "ethical companies" to distinguish themselves..."
Please post a link demonstrating this or admit you're a liar.
No such link exists, so just get it over with and admit you're lying now.
I was saying that your example sucks.
From YOUR OWN link
"American officials said he admitted to training some of the Sept. 11 hijackers and to having prior knowledge of the attack"
He denies it. You've proven nothing other than your own willingness to presume you know WTF the truth is.
Care to fail again with another terrible and wrong example?
I love that I hold your strings and you're too stupid to realize I've played you.
Keep "jacking off" little fella, all it does is prove that you know your argument failed.
So, now I'd like you to reply again, I enjoy watching you admit you're a moron.
Your examples:
http://www.jacksonville.com/apnews/stories/040502/D7IMSS901.html
Pot found on his person and in his system.
http://www.nola.com/speced/buscrash/index.ssf?/buscrash/9908040090.html
Charter bus driver smokes the morning of his trip.
Took me about two minutes to find those.
And if you're seriously going to try and question whether anyone has ever died while driving on pot, you're a moron. It seems like you DID try so...

"There are already terrorist attacks on oilfields. What happens when they hit a nuke plant? What happens when they just rob one?"
I finally get it. You're not incredibly stupid, you're just a coward.
I have to say, it's pitiful that you allow yourself to be dominated by irrational fear, but that's to be expected, you're an ignorant coward.
Deny it. You r post here proves it unequivocally, so watching you try will be a pleasure.
Fuck off.

Fixed your post.
And more sex garbage, also just like I said you'd do. God you're even more pathetic than you pretend to be.
How does it feel to know that you're too stupid to reply, so you go straight to moronic sex posts?
How does it feel to know that every time you do that, you state unequivocally that you're inferior to me in every way?
How does it feel to know I outsmart you, out think you, and out debate you, and you run to sex EVERY TIME knowing you can't win?
How does it feel knowing you're a waste of space that no one will miss when you invariably kill yourself for being a loser?
"Thinking of your lovely face and I'm stroking my cock, trying to get the juice out, for you."
