from reason.tv In this classic O’Reilly Factor segment, Reason’s Jacob Sullum enters the “no-spin zone” to discuss his book, Saying Yes: In Defense of Drug Use. Highlights include O’Reilly calling Sullum a “pinhead” and warning him to “stay away from my family.” Much of the action happens after the host lets Sullum have the last word. Enjoy!

There’s a rave going on. It s gonna be great. Tuesday and her boyfriend JT, their friend Katie and Katie’s brother, are going out partying to the biggest rave in Providence, Rhode Island. Of course, the reckless kids become part of an alien plot to distribute some strange drugs (they’re so strange, that they glow in the dark) among the ravers at the party. The risks of doing some drugs may never be discovered until it’s too late, when the party’s over.

I am completely against drugs, but also completely against O’Reilly. I feel like Christians must feel when they watch William Lane Craig getting Hitchslapped or something.
…the war on drugs is an effort to prevent people from altering their consciousness…there is a Socially-Approved Experience of Reality which is defended as if it were dogma…Mr. O’Reilly is, apparently, an Arch-Diocese of this dogma…
Is it bad when i think of concervitives i think iv idiots like bill o’reilly
Notice how Bill O’Reilly always says “I’ll give you the last word” and then speaks right over what ever they have to say… dick.
“You let me get my points across, I’ll let you get yours across”… He says, interrupting Jacob.
No point in debating with someone like o’reilly, he’s a close minded fool who think’s he’s always in the right even if you show him all the facts.
O’Reilly just shouts down anyone that doesn’t agree with him, he CERTAINLY doesn’t let the other guy make his points.
“Don’t get in a car … and don’t get near my family.” Ah yes, that good old fear factor kicking in for Bill as always. As usual, O’Reilly missed the point completely. He wasn’t talking about becoming intoxicated and being dangerous, he was saying “MODERATION and RESPONSIBILITY. PERIOD!
@JhosefL If all desire to do drugs disappeared tomorrow with the wave of your magic wand, then it would be a very different story and I’d gladly compare the safety and productivity of the contemporary and post-desire realities. But drug laws aren’t going to eliminate the desire to do drugs altogether, and until they do that, their effect will be in adding to the amount of people being needlessly imprisoned, but nothing more.
@casualdissent Some who doesn’t do drugs… spent more time doing other stuff … .. Some who does drugs.. can get into trouble.. end up in accidents … If everyone stopped buying weed, crack , or even alcohol.. It would probably prevent millions of deaths easily. Just use your common sense
@JhosefL But what compels you to say that it’s “best” not to alter one’s conscious state? Do you have a universe where humans don’t alter their conscious state to compare this universe to?
@casualdissent Its best not to alter one’s conscious state .. people can live without that and not even know it .
The desire to alter one’s conscious state could find its origin in the influence that dreams, hallucinations, schizophrenic episodes, and even religions have had on our culture. As Jacob points out, all societies, all through human history, have shared in this desire; its condemnation is in every way a modern phenomenon.
Some one please put some lsd in that mans food.
Fuck, I hate Bill O’Reilly. What a fuckhead.
bill needs to try acid or shrooms to be inlightend
Bill o’ is a douche
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s legal or illegal!” – Bill Oreilly
is that not what this whole discussion is about?..
I want to get super stoned and just have a really pleasant conversation with Bill, and drive him somewhere. Then, at the end, as he shakes my hand and compliments my wit and my driving prowess, just tell him how stoned I am.
he’s like the poster boy of uneducated people
the reason we have a lot of kids abusing substances is because….. well for the most part, these substances are illegal. and those assholes who are fighting so hard to keep drugs out of kids way by supporting the war on drugs are fucking morons. Ask any kid in america if it is easier to get weed or booze. I guarantee you that the vast majority will say weed because how often do you see drug dealers asking for id’s ohh wait a fucking minute….THEY DONT!
Perhaps if you’d SHUT THE FUCK UP and let the guy explain his viewpoints. Bill is an asswipe…fuckin’ prick.
I’ll give you the last word, or wait, I won’t
Mr. Sullum’s argument ()as presented is week. But against Bill O’ even a paedophile could make a good case for his thing.
Bahaha “It’s not accepted that intoxicating oneself is a natural drive” shut up bill, people have been using plants, drugs, and alcohol for hundreds of thousands of years because it is human nature and desire to experience the majority of what life has to offer and see things through different points of view and perspective. Pwned indeed
