i agree with everything Night said except Night wrote ... 6. This is coming from a person that does not smoke marijuana - Legalize it, idiots. And lower the drinking age. People see it as a rebellious way to make a statement. It's only making the problem worse placing a limit on it. Plus, it's a natural drug. If people want to die earlier, let them go. Who are you to play God anyways (Assuming you're not a conservative atheist that likes controlling people with their ego). Legalizing marijuana can be a very good thing. Taxing it will BOOST the economy so much its like Economy on Cocaine! lol. However it has negative side effects. Younger ppl will see it as "OK" to do. It can cause negative effects on driving at younger and much older ages. (And yes, granny likes the cheebah every now and then.) It will effect work effort. And Weed is a Drug Opener. It might lead to more ppl being drug addicts. Playing god is not the problem. If they want to go out and get themselves killed so be it.... but theres an old saying, "God protects babies and drunks." Chances are a drunk driver will kill an innocent bystander. And a younger person drinking is more likely to get behind the wheel then lets say a 21 year old. Drinking early and getting liver damage is one thing however lol. But lowering the age will only cause more problems then good. Ppl will still get it yes, but without the 21 drinking age, ppl will get it much easier and younger, therefore acting less responsible and mature about it. Judging by nights argument, he should vote for Hilary. I am. I mean we need a BAD ASS MO FO in the office. Who better then someone who can bleed for 6 days and not die?lol Hilary was doing all the economy work when Bill was in office.. She was doing that all behind the scenes. When he was in office our economy was the BEST it has ever been. Similar to how the U.S. was during the Roaring 20's. Hilary will fix our economy. And she is for Ban on Assault rifles. She may be for ban on all guns all together, but that wont ever pass. But at least she wants to keep the AK's and M4's out of the hands of a lot of ppl. Or at least make it somewhat a lil more difficult to obtain. All candidates are against gay marriages. Not gays in general, but gay marriages. Being against that will hurt all of them equally, so it wont make a difference. And the Citizens against it FAR outway the gays for it. Yes Hilary may be a woman, but she is a bad ass and takes no shit. And she is VERY INTELLIGENT. My only problem is this, but no one is perfect: Having a woman leading the country may provoke other countries to start shit with us. And she is not a war president. Domestic yes, war no. However, neither was Bill, but he did alright, and he got some head too. P.S. Picture the next war. Hilary holding the Nuke Button during her period... (BTW, ever heard of menopause?) Dont worry bout the period. Edited Sun Dec 02 2007, 06:12AM |

And Weed is a Drug Opener. It might lead to more ppl being drug addicts. So why not legalize marijuana, and place a high tax on it. Doesn't it come from other countries anyways? Smoking has 18 as the legal age, so why not make smoking marijuana 18? You are forgetting also that people also smoke it as a way of rebellion. I see it as since it is legalized, people would just toke up the ol' MJ whether than throw their lives away with other drugs. Cocaine is being cracked down on, people won't be able to afford it soon enough. I would imagine in the near future the same thing is going to happen with heroine. Why do drugs when you can feel on top of the world with your legalized way out, marijuana? gLiTchâ„¢ wrote ... Chances are a drunk driver will kill an innocent bystander.

Ever hear of the saying "There is no such thing as a free lunch."? It's an economics term, but it can be used in this argument. So, you lower the drinking age, place harsher penalties for drinking and driving, and maybe people will finally realize that good things can be rewarded. Carpool, don't drive to a damn party and drive home drunk like a douche. Hell, when I party, I make sure that my keys are taken away so I can't drive. gLiTchâ„¢ wrote ...

When he was in office our economy was the BEST it has ever been. Similar to how the U.S. was during the Roaring 20's. Hilary will fix our economy. And she is for Ban on Assault rifles. Oh FUCK no. I would never vote for that bitch. I have hated the Clinton administration for as long as I have..Hated politics. I wish I would have been older to realize when I was younger how shitty we actually were. People blame Bush for the war, but it is mainly that idiot that got us into the mess in the first place. Yes, he did good for the economy, but he did horrible otherwise. Not to mention the whole Lewinsky shit that was going on during his presidency. Democrats make good economic decisions, but are too conservative when it comes to making war decisions. Republicans used to be a little on my good side, but after we voted this loony bin into office, I can't stand the whole party and what they stand for. As for the ban on guns...Uhh, no? People have a right to bear arms. It's been in the constitution since this country came to be. To put a ban on any type of gun would be unconstitutional. Not only that, the liberals would be pulling their hair out. There is no way that would work. gLiTchâ„¢ wrote ... All candidates are against gay marriages. Not gays in general, but gay marriages.

Dont worry bout the period. I still do not think America is ready to let a female president lead our country. I am not a sexist, but unfortunately, a large majority of the country is. There are other countries with female presidents so some of the world is starting to pay respect to women. In all actuality, like I mentioned in a previous post, I do not think it matters who we vote in there in the first place. Whoever wins, wins. Great. Congratulations. You spent millions of dollars to do the same job another president would do. Of course, this is just a conspiracy thought that I have (I'm a deep thinker with ADD, give me a break). Just remember, those major corporations you pay dime after dime to might just control what political decisions are made. Don't get mad that the government when you supported them. |

No offense Knight, your hate for politics have made you blind to politics, and you really don't seem to know all that much about them. And don't talk bad about Bill. So he got head in the oval office? whats the big fucking deal? JFK would have his mistresses come to the door of the white house so he could fuck him, and it was public. Did anyone have a problem with that? |

I am fully aware of what goes on in our country. Rusty wrote ... And don't talk bad about Bill. So he got head in the oval office? whats the big fucking deal? JFK would have his mistresses come to the door of the white house so he could fuck him, and it was public. Did anyone have a problem with that? That's not the full reason I hate him. I have my other reasons, such as his ban on gay marriages in Hawaii, in the year 1996. He called it a "Culture war". Isn't it kind of weird his wife supports it now? There are more reasons I hate him, but I am too tired now to write anything. I will write more later. |

I think there would be bad ramifications for legalizing marijuana. Want an example? Look at all the deaths from alcohol and cigarettes. Just like the prohibition didn't completely stop alcohol use, as long as there are laws against marijuana, less people will be smoking. | ||

In fact, even around here, it myswell be legalized. |

Kcow: It's easier to get Mary Jane than Alcohol when you're underage. Anyone who thinks that the government can tax weed is, and I'm sorry to say this, stupid. The only way that's possible is if they ban the growing of MJ... Why would you buy weed (and TAXED weed, at that,) when you can grow it in your back yard.......? |

Give them the illusion that it helps the economy when really the money goes towards the government to fund stuff we don't care about. |
