[QUOTE="sped_ed"]America has one of the most unforgiving war on drugs around. America also has the worlds highest prison population accounting for around 25% of the worlds prison population, we have more prisoners than China. Around 30% of state prisons population are drug offenders, they account for around than 60% of fedral prisoners. Alot of these people are just users, thanks to mandatory minimums, they are stuck in prisons for years. All this because they decide to put a certain substance into thier body. They are taken away from thier friends and famliy for doing something that doesn't harm anyone but themselves. andyxm
It's their from thier own stupidity that they were caught for it, they knew the risks.

Doing something that makes you happy but doesn't harm anyone else makes you stupid, just because a monopoly of force says you can't?

They should, but I highly doubt it will ever happen. Just go to holland.daniel52587
Funny thing is, pot use among teens actually went down after they legalized it in Holland. There was an intial spike but it dopped off below levels before legalization

[QUOTE="sped_ed"]those are just a fewRhazakna

Do I need to repost the questions on the other page? And has Bush stopped elections for the good of the nation? No. Saying he's like Hitler trivializes the Holocaust and WWII.

I just said he reminds me more of Hilter than anyone, not that he's exactly like Hitler

Like Hitler Bush began to curtail civil liberties in response to a well-publicized disaster, in Hitler’s case the Reichstag fire, in Bush’s case the 9-11 catastrophe. Like Hitler Bush went on to pursue a reckless foreign policy without the mandate of the electorate and despite the opposition of most foreign nations. Like Hitler Bush has increased his popularity with conservative voters by mounting an aggressive public relations campaign against foreign enemies. Just as Hitler cited international communism to justify Germany’s military buildup, Bush has used Al Qaeda and the so-called Axis of Evil to justify our current military buildup. Paradoxically none of the nations in this axis--Iraq, Iran and North Korea--have had anything to do with each other. Like Hitler Bush has promoted militarism in the midst of economic recession (or depression as it was called during the thirties). First he used war preparations to help subsidize defense industries (Halliburton, Bechtel, Carlyle Group, etc.) and presumably the rest of the economy on a trickle-down basis. Now he turns to the very same corporations to rebuild Iraq, again without competitive bidding and at extravagant profit levels. Like Hitler Bush envisages our nation’s unique historic destiny almost as a religious cause sanctioned by God. Just as Hitler did for Germany, he takes pride in his “providential” role in spreading his version of Americanism throughout the entire world. Like Hitler Bush scraps international treaties, most notably the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the Biological Weapons Convention, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the Convention on the Prohibition of Land Mines, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Kyoto Global Warming Accord, and the International Criminal Court. Like Hitler Bush launches unilateral invasions on a supposedly preemptive basis. Just as Hitler convinced the German public to think of Poland as a threat to Germany in 1939 (for example in his Sept. 19 speech), Bush wants Americans to think of Iraq as having been a “potential” threat to our national security--indeed as one of the instigators of the 9-11 attack despite a complete lack of evidence to support this claim. Like Hitler Bush curtails civil liberties in captive nations and depends on detention centers (i.e., concentration camps) such as a Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and any number of secret interrogation centers across the world. Prisoners at the camps go unidentified and have no legal rights as ordinarily guaranteed by the Geneva Conventions. They have also been detained indefinitely (for 2 ½ years already at Guantanamo Bay), though there is mounting evidence that many are innocent of what they have been charged--some, for example, having been randomly seized by Northern Alliance troops in Afghanistan for an automatic bounty from U.S. commanders. Moreover, many Iraqi prisoners have been tortured, in many instances just short of death. Recent U.S. documents disclose that as many twenty have died while being tortured, and twenty others have died under unusual circumstances yet to be determined those are just a few

[QUOTE="killianfeehan"]

in the u.k. we have alot more media freedom than in the U.S.

the censorship in the u.s. is surreal.

The pentagon did not release a video of a british lance corprol being blown to pieces in a so called friendly fire incident.

That isn't just untruthful, its sick.

Rhazakna

The problem with American media is not censorship, it's that most of our news channels are owned by huge companies with a political slant, and are simply unwilling to say certain things. We have freedom of the press.

Freedom of press? Ever heard of the FCC?
