The War On Drugs
 

How sad is it that so much money and time are spent on the futile "War on Drugs." My profound thought of the day is that Tommy Chong sits in jail while Osama Bin Laden runs free. Good job on catching the real danger to society.

Flames in 3..2..1..

If you know where OBL is, I'm sure you could trade Tommy Chong's freedom for that bit of info. Or maybe they have nothing to do with one another?

I'll be you Osama has smoked quite a few bones...

Umm...as much as I disagree with portions of the war on drugs, to say think that any effort was diverted from finding OBL so we could arrest Tommy Chong is dumb. I guess they start puffing early where you are from. I usually wait until 10 minutes before work.

And what about the sniper in Ohio? Why haven't they caught him yet, when every day people are arrested for stupid stuff like breaking the law.

Tommy Chong is in jail? I thought he was hanging out with the cast of That 70's Show. :)

You damn fascists, how many times do I have to tell you? -- you don't have to obey any law you don't agree with. When will you get that through your head?

Also, since I know you damned Nazi's have such a hard time remembering, I'll also go ahead & tell you again that you @#$%^@$ conservatives are not allowed to modify anys law you don't agree with (even through prescribed means) -- that privilege is reserved for those of us dedicated to sticking it to the man.

Yes, thank God Rosa Parks sat on the back of the bus.

There is a time and a place for breaking unfair rules, and I'm not sure what the preceding post really had to do with this thread.

Well played!

Rosa Parks - Check
Hitler - On Deck

Fritz-

Quit wasting your time here - there's a Girl Scout thread that needs your attention.

I have seen the thread, but opportunities for merriment, other than those inherent to girl scouts, have not presented themselves.

:(

Merriment is an underused term...

Did you really just compare Rosa Parks with someone who made their entire career around smoking dope?

And is that really what you meant to do?

I was showing the stupidity of your post in relation to what was being talked about. There was nothing in the thread that necessitated such an irrational post such as yours, and I was pointing out the falacy of your argument. This thread was stupid to begin with, your post not even on the subject made it more so.

Maybe you got lost somewhere along the way? Applied my reply to the wrong post maybe?

My post was a response to Cam's post.

when every day people are arrested for stupid stuff like breaking the law.

I then responded with a sarcastic reply to Cam, which was meant to expand on the point I believe he was making.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

friends don't let friends invade defenseless third-world countries while on drugs.

and I was sarcastic in response, pretty straightforward.

Why not have a war on poverety?(Spelling?)

"Wars on xxxxxx" are generally BS in my opinion. There's been a war on poverty for 40 years, a war on drugs for 30 (costing $40 billion a year), and a war on terrorism since Reagan first declared it in 1981. All of the problems linger and continue get worse, but results don't matter. What matters is that politicians can say on the campaign trail they are "fighting" against something big and should get your vote because they have a unique plan for solving the problem that no one else has been able to solve.

A war on war?

perpetual war for perpetual peace

So why do you continue to fund wars that dont work...

Because we're humans?

Because I'll get prosecuted for tax evasion if I don't.

.

We waste wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much money on the war on drugs. The best way to fight drugs is to legalize them I say.

But isn't that how we want the Fed. Govt. to work? We seem to be glad to give Washington more and more of our money so they can solve all of our problems, with drugs, poverty, education, terrorism, illegal immigration, health, foods, housing, etc. It seems that the trillions of dollars over the years have not gone to make anything better, except to make the bureaucrats, politicians and lobbyists more happy.

Obligatory "straw man" reference:



Ah, dammit, that's wicker...

straw man?

wickerman looks like IG88

You should add the corporations and special interests that receive the trillions of dollars in government spending to the top of your exception list.

FUCK YEAH! party on dude

The War on Drugs is absurd. Until they curb the demand, there will always be a market. Get rid of one dealer, and there is always another one to step in.

I'll allow TuPac to annunciate my feelings on the matter

Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me
And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up, crack you up and pimp slap you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can't touch this
I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool my mama didn't raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped & I never get to lay back
'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
some buck that I roughed up way back comin' back after all these years
rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

you are a garden variety idiot

Can I be a barn vareity idiot, because I don't eat vegetables... Attack of the Killer Tomatos freaked me out.

do folks in your town make you wear a special hat?

Sometimes the ladies make me wear one on my jimmy, but not always.

That would cover just about everybody, wouldn't it? Every war on X and program and entitlement have monies redistributed to somebody or some entity. I just prefer we keep more of it ourselves.

Easy Mac I think your...*earmuffs* The Shit!!! You qouted Pac you get a A++ in my book.

I couldn't imagine how this thread had added 20 posts since I left work...

That is cruel... You shouldn't label someone the "Fritz" of their town... Just plain wrong. Next thing you'll be accusing him of riding the short "Fritz" bus to school. :D

do you really want the kind of shit I am going to throw at you now?

just for you Noop

You said you wants some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross, a little Anita, will definitely set this party off right
(Are u gonna be,gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, well well well well)
You said you want some Ready for the World, some New Edition, some Minnie Ripperton, will definitely set this party off right
(Are u gonna be,gonna be,gonna be, gonna be, gonna be,well well well well)

I told you to drive over in your new whip
Bring some friends you cool with
Imma bring da cool whip
Then I want you to strip
See you is my new chick
So we get our grind on
You be grabbin, callin me Biggie like Shyne home
Man I swear you fine homes
Why you always lying though
Tellin me them diamonds, when you know they rhinestones
You got a light skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
Got a dark skinned friend look like Michael Jackson
I played 'Ready for the World' - you was ready for some action
My dawg said you aint no freak, so you 'bout to prove my man wrong
Imma play this Vandross
You gon' take your pants off
Imma play this Gladys Knight
Me and you gon' get right

EasyMac, you've got such street cred. :)

what can I say man... I'm a G.

dola, and my Itunes just switched from Timberlake to 50 cent, so I'm hardcore.

Funny, the last time "shit was thrown at me I was in the babboon section at the Bronx zoo... I thought you seemed familiar Fritzie! :D
