Vet loses house over pot bust.

[baseline bum]

Yes they lost PR rep because of this, don't be naive. They didn't follow the 5 P's and deserve to pay for it with their ty job.



New one? Not really. This nation is run by idiotic Christians with their own individual agendas. The incredibly inept and unhealthy fantasy Christians preach but rarely practice have shaped the very laws and mindsets of this nation and I strongly believe the Christian mindset and Christians themselves are keeping acts like pros ution illegal. If it was legalized there'd be rules and regulations and pimps would actually face serious legal consequences for their actions rather than letting them practice street justice.

Christianity is one of the major, if not THE major problem in this country.

I don't think you could ever bring pimps to trial. All a pimp does in convince a woman she's not and that she needs him, while taking her money. A pimp takes an emotionally fragile woman, fills her head with crap about how the world is such a ty place, and then cons her into putting him on a pedestal as some shining beacon of hope. A pimp doesn't go out and collect or beat down customers who mistreat his women. He beats the woman down if she doesn't pay him enough; it's on her to handle the violent assholes and the cheapskates. A pimp is the lowest of the low, but the police going after parasitic relationships is going too far IMO, unless the woman is making domestic violence claims. Make no mistake though, pimping will never die whether or not pros ution is legalized.

How about a fact?

Pot = Illegal

How about another fact?

Using Tim Duncan in your avatar without his permission or written consent of the NBA = Illegal

Going to Canada to buy your prescription drugs = illegal too, to protect the profits of our pharmaceutical industry.

That's not actually true, as the laws were changed in 2006 to allow people to purchase a 90 day supply for their own personal use and bring it back into the states, but what's that have to do with this discussion, anyway?

I figured a right-winger like you would understand that government is often wrong and often makes laws for stupid or even criminal reasons.

I figured a dumbass liberal like you would try to change the subject and resort to political rock-throwing when faced with irrefutable facts, or to just cry about laws that he doesn't like as though citizens can pick and choose which ones we follow. If you don't like the law, then work to get it changed, but don't be surprised that people get prosecuted for breaking it.

So your side is really full of when they say government isn't the solution, it's the problem?

Again, no it's not illegal. But comparing my avatar to felony drug possession is about as sensible as any other argument you've ever made.

Ooh... a whole 90 days if you physically go buy it. Can't have it shipped or you're breaking the law. Everyone can afford that plane ticket to Toronto 4 times a year.

Again, what does it have to do with this discussion aside from serving as a warning for people not to trust your fact checking? If the guy had pled guilty to having enough Percodan shipped from Canada for it to be a felony would you still be in here whining?

What do you mean what does it have to do with the situation? It's an example of our government making bull laws to protect the profits of a few, just like with keeping weed illegal to satisfy the tobacco lobby.

[mouse]

Not really, If I was to go to jail I would rather tell the other inmates I was there for selling pot than to be there for using Tim Duncan in my avatar. Your just pissed because all the party animals in school got the hot babes and you had to settle for a Janet Reno look a likes.
Don't come in here like your Susan Reed and gives us your Nancy Regan just say no propaganda bull . Just admit your pissed your job requires a random drug test and that is why your boring and some what of a turd on line.

So are you saying that people don't have to follow the laws that they have incorrect facts about? Wow, you must be bullet-proof.

A bull law is still a law.

I love your argument. Any time someone points out a law is crap your answer is "shut the and take it". I thought you assholes were for government staying out of peoples' lives?

[mouse]

You want to see Obstructed_View do a 360? have Tim Duncan get caught with a roach in his ashtray and then you will see him turn into Tommy Chong overnight.

[Obstructed_View]

Good, because since putting Tim Duncan in your avatar is NOT ILLEGAL, you'd only be in jail for one of those offenses.

Your just pissed because all the party animals in school got the hot babes and you had to settle for a Janet Reno look a likes.

Yeah, I'm sure they're lining up for you, slick. The only chance you have to be popular is if you get yourself locked up.

Don't come in here like your Susan Reed and gives us your Nancy Regan just say no propaganda bull . Just admit your pissed your job requires a random drug test and that is why your boring and some what of a turd on line.

Okay, I won't do that. Instead I'll do the exact same thing I've always been doing and simply pointing out one simple fact: Pot is illegal. If you don't have the in' balls to pay the price when you break a law then maybe you shouldn't break it.

so legalizing pros ution would solve whatver pimp street justice problems you think there are out there?

I'm not sure if you are aware, but it is currently illegal to beat women and whoever does so faces serious legal consequences for their actions.

I also don't know any Christians that condone such behavior.

Sometimes I don't know if you are joking or you are just stupid.

Christianity is one of the major, if not THE major problem in this country.

He's right, it really has nothing to do with this situation.

The provision stated that they have the right to not give the house to a felon.

The guy pleaded guilty and was found with a scale along with the pot in his car.

Yeah, it sucks and the law is BS but this guy should have known the rules if he wanted to keep the house.

Obstructed View must have been really pissed off during Jindal's speech a couple of days ago, when he and that sheriff decided people didn't need insurance cards and licenses to use their boats in rescue efforts during Katrina. I mean, it was the law, no matter whether it made any sense at all in that current context.

You must be really pissed that you have to start inventing things to be superior about just because I destroyed you with one simple fact that had no political opinion attached to it.

I can't believe I'm taking Mouse's side... but just to play Devil's advocate:

You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court's decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may well ask: "How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all."

Before you say I'm trivializing Dr King's words by using them in this argument, I'd like you to think about how many people get arrested and put in jail/prison for doing something that some people might argue is less dangerous than drinking alcohol.

[baseline bum]

And I hate the "War On..." terminology - it's just bull dressed up to please hard right wingers who don't understand that the world is complex and full of shades of grey.

All the shades of grey folks are the ones that let degenerate until it requires a war. Learn your history.

I'd like to hear this. Explain how you would have actually made prohibition work. Explain how you'd make laws the people would respect that go against the very nature of the vast majority of people alive in this world.

I can't believe I'm taking Mouse's side...

Translation: I always agree with mouse I just can't believe I am going to publicly say so!

so because drinking alcohol is legal, that is your justification that people should have a moral responsibility to sell pot?

I wonder what the Dr. would think.
