The other day I saw a ridiculous commercial, convincing me that buying herb supports terrorist organizations. The part that I am baffled by is that they didn't give any expaination as to how this drug money was being directed to the terrorists. Also, If the government really beleived what they are telling us, than it would mean that they are more interested in banning marijuana by keeping it illegal while they think that terrorist organizations are recieving this money rather that promoting it's controlled sale in stores, therefore cutting off funds going to these mysterious terrorists. Either way, this commercial is indirectly giving a bad message about the government to the viewer. Either the government is lying to the viewer, OR if this money is somehow reaching the terrorist organizations (which i don't believe it is) they do not have their priorities straight between the legalization of pot and terrorism.
“Why of course the people don’t want war. . . That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” - Hermann Goering Nazi SS Officer, on or about 18 April 1946 Nuremberg War Crimes Trial
opiates are the only thing that could possibly get money to terrorists, and some of those are legal, I don't know this one but where does the opium come from for morphine? Hell we should be worrying about the shit they foist ont o us instead of the stuff they hold away.
Fair, but it'll still happen whether legalized or not, alcohol causes all these deaths, why doesn't this outrage you (Making an assumption from your siggy, stop me if I'm wrong)
my siggy was supposed to be sarcastic, in case you didn't notice. but there are too many morons out there, legalizing pot will decrease the average IQ even further.
Didn't see the yeah right, sorry, sarcasm is not conveyed well when you look at part of something on these soulless machines, meanwhile, I don't smoke pot, never have never will, I just feel people have a right to do as they will to themselves, Voltaire said "I may not agree with what a man has to say, but I'll defend to the death his right to say it" I know Pot damages some people, others it doesn't (drugs react different ways to different people) I just feel that they should have the choice to choose for themselves As for the prod at my I.Q. Come on man, I've been reasonable (if you've seen some of my other "debates" this is probably the most well reasoned I've been thus far since getting here, I didn't attack you so what cause did you have to attack me?
I think the point we're missing here is that "buying herb" is a euphemisim for "listening to emo" and THATS why emos bad
but you just destroyed a perfectly good thread. that's why they have a new thread button, so you can make your own thread about stuff...
