Hmm, I can’t really understand the pride of being a Canadian, seems they haven’t really done much of anything. They kinda just sit North of us and criticize every decision we make. What’s so good about Canada?

Just download it off Kazaa or another P2P file-sharing system.

@cystic:

To me it just seems like America on occassion acts like the master of a dog. He regularly beats the dog, disciplines it with no rational pattern, trains it poorly, and starves it off and on. Then when the dog snaps, the master has it killed.
Bombing and invading - the classic American kneejerk reaction (unless it’s, say, WWII in which case the reflex takes a while).

That might make sense is somewhere else. But here in reality, Saddam is not a product of us, didn’t belong to us, and his actions are not a result of us.

Yes, I completely agree with you that we need more appropriate measures. But we don’t need to legalize marijuana to implement the more appropriate measures. Rehabilitation and such can be implemented while still keeping pot illegal.

@bossk:

Saddam got into power somehow; he has support. Somebody (and I’ll bet it wasn’t us) wanted him in power, who are we to say that he shouldn’t? And moreover, who is to say that we are more right than Saddam is? I’m not saying I agree with the little dictator’s ideas, beliefs, or actions, but we cannot judge Iraq becuase it doesn’t conform. If Saddam was truely terrible then there would be a revolution (they aren’t terribly hard to come by in the last century, they can’t be that difficult) and a new government would be put in it’s place. Why are we so quick to replace other people’s governments? We aren’t the ones that should be doing that, the oppressed themselves have that honor.

OMG. You gonna say the same thing about Osama Bin Laden? He doesn’t conform, but we should leave him alone right? Who are we to judge his actions? Pleeeeease. Wake up and smell the coffee….

Ok, first of all, I’m not really concerned with those pot-heads who light it up in their house. The ones that really concern (and affect me) are those OUTSIDE of the home. The pro-legalization folks here seem to be forgetting that people actually DO pot, and then walk outside. GASP! :o

Yb wasn’t commenting on the amendment portion of your argument, I think he was commenting about the fact that you seem to think you can do whatever you want, as long as it’s inside your home. Please explain this to me.

Why do we have to legalize marijuana to have a better affect on society? There are other more effective alternatives besides giving up on the problem.

I just learned that Saddam is going to be supplying Palestinian terrorist (eg. Hamas, Hezbala) with biological weapons to use in their bombings against Israeli citizens. Why are so many people playing devil’s advocate with this topic? Bomb the mofo and reinstate a stable and less threatening government!

LOL. Good point Emu.

Yanni, so now we can only attack terrorists if they attack us first? What the hell kinda sense does that make?

Crypt, he was asking me, IZ, if I was in JSA (Junior Statesmen of America). The answer is no YB.
