Do you think the War on Drugs and the prohibition & criminalization of safer recreational drugs create a market for cheap and extremely dangerous drugs like Meth, Crack, Ketamine and Ecstasy?

People act like it would help, but people would still be selfish and thier would be lots of fighting even if their world veiws were nearly identical.
The only way to have world peace is the redemtive work of Christ in every heart, it would destroy selfishness and bring love when cooperated with.

Senator Byrd today passionately expressed his feelings over Vick abusive treatments of dogs.
"Barbaric, Barbaric, Barbaric!" he proclaimed trembling in disgust. He also stated that there was a place in hell waiting for people like Vick.

Hmmmm? I wonder is Senator Byrd is thankful for the forgiveness he recieved for being a member of the KKK and not just a member but the grand wizard? What forgiveness that he would be elected to the U.S. Senate.

There is a story in the bible about a person that owed someone 200 dollars and was forgiven the debt. Later this same guy was owed twenty dollars by some poor chap and he took the one that owed him by the neck and thew him into debtor's prison.

Does that look like Sen. Byrd or what?

BTW: I in no way condone what Vick did but am just floored by all the hypocrisy.

if that's the case - that they're "harmless" (finding a rocket launcher in one's front yard is a sign that our country is secure from terrorist threats afterall - right Bushbot Contards?)

and since rocket launchers are so benign - I would like to acquire one - or some - where can I do so? does E-Bay have a Rocket Launcher marketplace?

Oh gees Cheney automatically becomes President for a few hours while Bush is under. I think that's enough time for him to nuke a country or two.

It seems like every conservative post is filled with insults by liberals. While liberal posts do get some smashing, there are alot more positive replies.

Is this because the answer board is dominated by liberals?

Methamphetamine causes more dopamine and serotonin to be released by the brain than, sex, heroin, nicotine, and chocolate combined. This fact alone is responsible for its almost instantaneous addiction. It’s also nearly impossible to recover from since the brain has to learn again how to release those chemicals on its own, meaning you simply won’t be able to feel pleasure of any kind for a long time while you recover. It is estimated that 80% of Portland, OR’s crime is in some way, Meth related.

This stuff is vile.

Do you think the US and mainly the producers of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, (Sudafed) have done enough, or can do anymore to stop this drug?

Do you think the war on drugs and the prohibition or safer recreational drugs creates a market for cheap and extremely dangerous drugs like Meth, Crack, Ketamine and Ecstasy?

I just received an email saying:
===
In one of his most chilling moves to date against his own citizens, the American War Leader has issued a sweeping order this week outlawing all forms of protest against the Iraq war.
===
It went on to list amended acts and to say that it was passed into law July 17th.

I tried to find a news story on this and could not. Does anyone have any background information on this?

I know it is hard to define “evil”, so I will put it this way:

You find a jinni, and he gives you a special weapon, which would allow you to go back in time and magically end one of the following regimes.
Base your decisions ONLY ON MORAL reasons, not strategic or political.
Which one would you want to take out from the list:

Nazi Germany / Hitler
The Khmer Rouge / Pol Pot
USSR / Stalin
Afghanistan / Taliban
The DPRK (North Korea) / the Kim family
PRC / Mao
Iraq / Saddam
Imperial Japan / Emperor Hirohito

And why?

Ya, I know it is a silly question, but have fun with it.

This story was posted on Yahoo.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070718/ap_on_re_us/prisons_racial_disparity

If you are going to say that blacks are more likely to become incarcerated than whites, then is it only fair to state in the report how blacks are much more likely to commit crimes?

Blacks as a % of their population are much more likely to commit a crime than whites.

As an example, say that blacks are 10% of the population, but 30% of the criminals. These numbers are only for explanation and may or may not be true.

Then, blacks are 3 times more likely to be in jail simply because they commit more crimes per 100,000.

Where is this in the report? I cannot see it.

How about what types of crimes? Violent crimes are almost mandatory jail time, while petty crimes are generally not.

Is it any wonder why conservatives like myself do not pay attention to the press when they completely distort the story by leaving out relevant facts.

I got this from a local radio station:

The Speech George W. Bush SHOULD give:
Thursday 05-17-2007 11:31am
Normally, I start these things out by saying “My Fellow Americans.” Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don’t know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you’re really not fellow Americans any longer.

I’ll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there’s been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I’m quitting is simple. I’m fed up with you people.

I’m fed up because you have no understanding of what’s really going on in the world. Or of what’s going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too lazy to do your homework and figure it out...........

It's amazing, but I entered college as a farily liberal person. Education changed me. I understand Consrvatism is not for everyone, but it is the best choice for me. I believe in being self reliant. With my views where else could I go?

I am Pro Life, I think marriage should be between a man & a woman, I think no american should be taxed by the US government at a rate higher than 33%, I beleive in self reliance and giving to charity not being over taxed and creating a giant Nanny State, I believe the US has no choice but to police the World because if we did not who would?

I don't think our founders were conservatives or liberals. I do know this - no where did our founders advocate the socialist policies found on the left. They detested high taxes. I am sure they would be in favor of americans keeping the majority of the income that they earn. Today's democrat party always raises taxes and never cuts them. Our founders were definatley not democrats!

Hillary for her last name
Obama for his voice and "charisma"

Yet the two candidates with the most experience, best legislative and ethical records and have actual platform's with actual plans of action are hardly noticed.

Joe Biden is by far the best DNC candidate if based on substance and qaulifications
