Would you give up you comfortable life style and rebel? To rebel against everything thats wrong with the world today?

Would you join an armed revolution, giving up everything you have and possibly never getting it back?

Why would Senator Clinton find Fred Thompson's remarks appalling (which btw was mis-interpreted) but yet she has never found the remarks of her fellow Democrats, that have called our U. S. soldiers terrorist appalling?

just because someone was born in another country then 5 minutes later came to the U.S. is not allowed to be president. There is nothing that keeps a native born citizen who has spent 90% of their time out of the country, from being president. I think people who oppose changing the law havn't thought it through. The law is outdated and hypocritical. It was written when it took 6 months or more to cross the atlantic, Canada was still part of the UK and noone expected a south american would have a chance. I'm not suggesting that Arnold Schwartenegger would be a good president, but there are plenty of others who could be.

...if so, what would it's guidelines be,if you were the one drawing up the bill? Age restrictions? Medical use only?.

I'd say "age restricted" -using the Age of ENLISTMENTas the gvmt decides to see fit (-God 18yo is SO YOUNG to be going to War), same as it should be for being allowed to purchase alcohol,or to get into an R rated movie.

also...
Anti's... I would Love to see a "Bad List" . Can you think of any GoodSide to the Legalization Idea?

Pros.. Give me a "Good List". .. and C'mon you Know there are always downsides to everything .. be honest and state one of them for me, too.

I'll go first.

i think one DownSide is the Lung Cancer issue,

I think one UpSide would be that , Legalized ,they could openly go about figuring out a way of ingesting it ,so that was a lot more health conscience,without being wasteful.

...as many self-identified "conservatives" state here often, then doesn't that make the United States as guilty and greedy and evil as any country or empire that ever existed, including Iraq, including Iran, including North Korea, including Israel?

my next door neighbour has spread lies to my landlord telling him that the house in a state. im very houseproud and shes spreading lies because she sees we spend time as a family and all she looks forward to is bills, spending money on coke and sit on her behind scrounging from the dole when shes perfectly capable to work.

I want to grass her up for having large amount of drugs in the house with two small children under the age of 3. how do i do this without her knowing it was me.

im doing this because im geting evicted through her lies and jelousy, plus fear that keeping drugs in a bottom cupboard with small kids is dangerous.

do i phone or can i leave a message via email to the polics for a drug raid. i know what im doing and this isnt just to get her back for loosing my home, i do fear for her neglected kids

Prohibition does not prevent cannabis use by children or the mentally ill, the vulnerable populations whom we supposedly want to protect. Instead, cannabis prohibition makes it more difficult for parents, patients, society, doctors and law enforcement to control cannabis use.

The Drug War makes honest education about cannabis impossible, and leaves cannabis users marginalized in ways that make their lives more stressful.
This stress is unhealthy for everyone, but it is certainly most damaging to people with schizophrenia.

Cannabis prohibition is not merely a failure; it is a counterproductive fraud that is harming those whom we claim we want to protect.
There are currently more teens in treatment centers for marijuana in comparison to those admitted for alcohol.
Only an idiot would have to ask why alcohol is not the no#1 problem
after all alcohol is perfectly legal ( If you are 21.)
That is due to responsible people handling alcohol by way of the carding and id system.


Contraband markets make no age disgression.
Since the crackdown on tobacco there are 75% fewer teens trying or using tobacco.
However when it comes to cannabis and other illicit substances it’s a whole
other ball game.
Control, regulation and better education work prohibition, dose not.
Or as John Walters of the ondcp (Office for national drug control policy) calls it “ a war on drugs” (Sorry John but it's true look at the Netherlands)

America loves a war even if it is on it’s own people.

One of several reason they don’t legalize drugs is not because of the harm of drugs,
But people would lose more money in the long run.
Some of the people behind the support of this irrational so called war are
The tobacco industry,
the alcohol and distilled spirit industry ( people simply don’t drink as much, or decide not to drink at all with cannabis meaning a decline in there sales.
The pharmaceutical corporations can not make money on whole or raw cannabis, but they can charge an arm and a leg for there synthetic Marinol (dronabinol) CIII.

The textile and paper industry would lose out from hemp production, sinse hemp dose not need to go through all the various processes that ordinary tree products would. Also it’s possible to get two harvest in one season.

However people don’t know the difference between industrial hemp and smokeable cannabis, yet they are able to distinguish between the two in other country’s like Germany, the UK , Netherlands and even Canada, but our `DEA agents are so dumb they cant tell the difference between a stalk and a bush.
Also people who have any knowledge of growing high quality cannabis will tell you that male plants should never be grown next to your high grade female plants,
(unless of course you want to pollinate for future seed production).
When it comes to farming hemp the males are left in tact to pollinate the females and produce as much seed as possible.

This would mean a seedy mess for the pot smoker to clean up and produce undesirable future generations of smokeable cannabis.

If anything, Hemp farming would be anti marijuana and would harm any outdoor pot farming within a one mile radius of any hemp farm.

The petroleum industry would also be affected, sinse almost everything that can be made from petroleum can be synthesized from hemp oil, everything from bio fuel to even plastics. If North America would use a third of it’s land for hemp production we could create enough bio fuel to supply an area the size of Canada.

Now also for a moment consider how many people are incarcerated over just cannabis who are currently in the prisons and jails.
If cannabis were legalized and all inmates serving time for cannabis were freed there would be an over abundance of empty cells, and millions of guards in this country would be no longer needed.
The prison building industry would almost be obsolete ( and if all drugs were legalized that would mean even more empty cells).

So the prison system must have some means of gaining more inmates.
Not to mention other areas such as treatment centers, probation.etc
or HIDTA high intensity drug traffic areas where money is fed in to law enforcement,
(they would miss there green $$$)

Drugs , not even alcohol are the cause of the fundamental ills of society, rather than checking people for the presence of drugs, they should first test people for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

How does "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The way I see it where is the millitia? The people who wrote it did not intend for peopel to shoot each other just the enemy, so how does that give you the right to have a gun?

I moved to a flat run by a housing association. There have and still are many problems with youths, also one tenant, who commited a serious offence, to which i am the witness. Since then my life has been made a misery, not only because of threats, due to the serious incident, also because of continuous troubles with groups of youths around the building.
The police and the Housing association are doing what they can. Although the Housing association is using a lot of exuses and dragging their heels when it comes to my request to be rehoused to another area.
My house is fitted with a panic alarm now, also i have to carry one in my bag when i leave my home, all of which the Police have given to me. I have lived here for 6 months and will be moved as soon as it is possible. Have i the entitlement to ask the housing Association for financial support with any costs of rehousing. All the above problems are longstanding, non of which i was made aware of by the Association or the Caretaker.
