Personally, I am relieved. How do you feel? If you disagree with the ruling, why do you disagree? Please, only adult and responsible answers.

Alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous than some currently illegal drugs. It doesn't make sense to ban one kind of drug and allow another. The inconsistency leads to disrespect for law. Prohibition of alcohol in the twenties led to massive wealth and empowerment of criminals. (In any case it was only the sale of alcohol that was banned, not possession. ) Today, the same thing happens with drug-wealthy criminals. Legalizing and taxing the sale of drugs would give the government tax revenue which currently goes to criminals.
Drugs should be licensed and controlled. Therefore their quality and purity would be maintained. Drug users would not have to rob people and engage in prostitution to get money to pay for drugs, since the prices could be controlled. Since crime would diminish, there would be fewer people in prison and the prisons would be less crowded.

It's not the business of government to police the private behavior of consenting adults.

Look at Amsterdam: safe and friendly.

I was on the train and a pervy old man looked at my chest, then as he went to get off I am sure I felt his p***s brush against my back. Should I report him?

How do I sue the *** out of Yamaha motorcycles? I am mad at them because in one of their magazine advertisements they advertise their deadly quad bikes and dirt bikes to elementary school aged children. On the advertisement photo are displayed a girl about the age of 10 and a boy about the age of 12 standing hapilly next to their quad/dirt bikes that their irresponsible parents had purchased for them as if it's a toy. How could Americans be so retarded? Who in their right mind purchases a death machine for their school aged children? They may never live to be the age of 18. You may never ever see them grow up since the dirt bike you bought them killed them. Or paralized them for life which is even worse. I want to know why you parents do this sort of stuff and why you're not even arrested for such unethical behavior? Because every year many American children die on such deadly recreation vehicles.

I also what to know what is the process of Sueing Yamaha Motorcycles.

Do you think the government should be able to outlaw certain procedures that the doctor would do to protect you life? If the procedure is for the benefit of your health or your life, and the doctor tells you all the information as to the pros and cons of the procedure, do you think the government should be able to make that procedure illegal?

Secondary question, do you think the Partial Birth Abortion Ban was good or bad?

NRA members - Jerry Falwell's Liberty U, located in Virginia, is probably the most rightwing college in the US. Here's their policy:

"The possession, storage, display, or use of any kind of ammunition, firearms, replicas, fireworks, explosives, air rifles, air pistols, paintball guns, or any other potentially lethal instrument is prohibited on University property. ANY WATER GUN THAT IS SIMILAR TO ANY TYPE OF FIREARM FITS IN THIS CATEGORY. ANY WATER GUN THAT IS USED IN ANY WAY TO ANNOY ANOTHER PERSON WILL ALSO BE CONFISCATED."

Waterguns! LOL

Doctors deliberatly killing a baby is criminal and barbaraic. (Young girls who kill their baby are put in jail.) Women fighting to keep it (partial birth abortion) lawful and voting for polititians who rabidly fight for it makes me really fear for our (America's) future.

is he had not killed himself, this man would have been sent to a mental hospital for life, most likely, thanks to the liberals in america with bleeding hearts! he would get 3 meals a day, medical and dental, entertainment, and mental health checkups!! that is almost a reward!!! for killing 33 people! death penalty needs to be put back in some states! in middle east or china, he would get shot on sight!! no trials!!

I have been trying to contact this court appointed attorney that is assigned to my son's criminal case. It has been 3 days and he has not returned any of my calls. Should I hire an attorney to take over the case? How much do attorney's charge for felonies on first time offenders? What is the process? Please only honest responses; this is serious to me and my family.

After the shooting this week, can someone explain how it is possible in the US for an ex mental patient to legaly buy a handgun (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070418/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting)?

Is it me or is there something very wrong in this system?

Here is a question for all you Brits out there. After reading some of the forum posts in the BBC web site about the shooting at VT and getting through a myriad of the usual Anti-American posts there was some good ideas about gun control in America.
Some of my ideas would be as follows:
1 – Do not issue private citizens permits to carry concealed weapons! In fact not carrying guns around at all. If for example you go to a gun range for target practice you need to keep it in a locked case until you get to the range. I think this is how it is in Canada.
2 – As in certain European countries and in Canada you need to have permits for gun ownership. You need to have a valid reason: Hunting, target shooting at a gun club. Sorry fellow Americans it is not a god given right to own a gun, and none of that 2nd Amendment stuff ether its very out dated, I do not think the Brits are going to try to reclaim the colony’s any time soon.
3 – Make it harder to get guns. Being able to easily buy guns at stores like Wal-Mart does not help.
4 – Limit the amount of guns one can own. You do not need an arsenal.
5 – As in Britain, I believe if you are caught with a conceded weapon like a pistol it is a mandatory 5 year prison sentence.

I am not saying banning guns, but there needs to be changes to American gun laws to make it stringent and in lines with other countries. The gun free for all has gone on long enough in America.

A someone looking at the US what do you think should be reasonable gun law’s for the US?

FACT: The only one on the campus (besides the police, who did nothing) in VA Tech who had a gun was a criminally insane individual.

FACT: The law abiding had no guns.

Do not rely on the police. There job is not to protect and serve. There job is to investigate AFTER the shooting.

Before people make stupid comments or accuse me of trying to make light of the VT tragedy, let me say that is not the intent of my question. I have nothing but sympathy for the victimes and thier families.

After the US invaed Iraq, Rumsfeld in his infinite wisdom decided it would be a good idea to let each Iraqi keep one firearm. Had we taken all thier firearms would things in Iraq be as bleek as they are now?

And I'm not a liberal so don't think about calling me one either.
