Cops say legalize drugs ask me why?
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, and doctors 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 in one season.

However people don’t know the difference between industrial hemp and smokable 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.

The petroleum industry would 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 biofuel 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.

Racism is racism, no matter which way it goes. And I see a lot of African Americans belittling Caucasians for no reason. Especially during February, It’s a shame. Why do some blame modern day white people for stuff they had no control over in the 1960’s? And why do some black people grow up with the mentality someone owes them just because they’re black? I understand if someone is clearly a racist and you get upset or whatever, but they are entitled to their opinion and their state of mind. You can try to persuade them but if it doesn’t work; move on, let them live with their misery. But back to reversed racism; some African American, Mexican or anyone of minority (that I’m around) tend to just dislike white people, why?

Polynesians are very ethnocentric, and seemed like he was saying they only date their own people. Since I don't know any, is this even remotely true?

Okay I'm not asking you guys to care about me but anyway.
I'm 15 years old, living in Cyprus. I'm half Korean and Cypriot.
When I used to be in junior school, kids used to tell me I'm Chinese and hated me for, well, having those eyes. This continued until today but in much fewer situations. The thing is, I was sensitive about this matter and still am and slowly and subconciously i started developing this complex that all Asians are Chinese and they are not equal to any other people including me. I believe that I'm not worth living and don't deserve to ask for stuff. It grew in me. I have the lowest confidence a person could have and If I even try to think that I am equal I end up fooling myself and saying that I'm Chinese and I'm disgusting and not human. I am indeed disgusted by my body's features and I believe this blood I carry is cursed.. And i just ... feel fine about it. What am I doing? Am I wrong to hate myself? And are Asians equal to other people or is it just lies?
Thanks.

I am from the Uk and i went to Spain once and at 2pm they all go back to bed for a few hours and then get up again at about 5pm. whats that all about .

They say it's because it's a hot country and that they can't do nothing in the mid day sun. But what about other hot countrys like Africa,India, and the rest. Why don't they take naps half way through the day too?

I think it's because they are lazy and seem to get away with it Lol

I worked in a dental office as dental assistant before I entered Dental school. I had few accidents with women who were lesbians. First time one of my patients(Caucasian) told my doctor that she doesn't feel comfortable with male assistant and she didn't want me to stay next to her, Second time one of our patients(African-American) told me that she doesn't like men and doesn't understand them because they are crazy..I asked her, why did she think that way. She answered me that I am weird beacuse I asked her that question.
The dentist who I worked with is gay, too. He was surprised about these women.
Both of these women are lesbians. They told my co-worker who is woman.
Afterwards, I changed my opinion about gay people( to not posistive). I started to think that maybe the problem is not onlly with straight people, but gays too. Isn't that hate and discrimination?
Try to prove that i am wrong or agree with me.
Thank you.
