I don't normally read the Washington Post. Plus, I've been away from the forum for a few days. I'd pop in to see what was threading, and it all bored me.Originally posted by DinoDoc
On a side note, I'm suprised that che wasn't the one to start this thread.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Well this act has given the US government far reaching powers to act against 'terrorists'. But who defines what a terrorist is? Could someone who is politically 'deviant' like Che be defined as a terrorist if expedient? Could it give the government power to potentially silence it's enemies if it feels so threatened? That is very much a curtailment of freedom.Originally posted by Azazel

The US isn't paranoid......it's just that everyones out to attack them!!!Originally posted by Sagacious Dolphin
In the 17th century it was witches, in the 18/19th century it was masons, 20th century it was commies, 21st century its terrorists.
There is nothing new, the US is just forever paranoid.
Edit: So they gotta strike FIRST!!!

It's a bit of a myth that Holland is free. Sure you can smoke pot, but that's about it. I can do that as well.

Isn't that why Prozac, Ritalin, etc. are now mandatory for some people? Destroy all natural human feeling, so that the masses will be more compliant. I read an interesting question in article once. The author asked if Napoleon or Caesar would have attempted to conquer Europe if they had been prescribed an anti-depressant.Originally posted by Jules
And that's exactly the motive of the drug legalizers. Recall the function of soma in "Brave New World.""In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Look on the map. Your nose might stop over something spelled S-C-A-N-D-I-N-A-V-I-A.For one, we have far more rights for gays than you, or any other nations, has.
Please use that fat knob above your collar. If you did (when hell freezes over) most of your posts would be unnecessary.Comment

As a person with ADHD I would really like to stop taking those pills.

Yeah, we have rights for gays too. We consider them ordinary people, I don't know what rights your gay community does NOT have?
If you're talking about right to get married, well it's all over these days. Nothing special about that.In da butt.

There's another relevant issue that's in the media today... anti-sodomy laws.
Only in America (land of the religious self-righteous) will you find laws saying what consensual adults can and can't do.
Drug laws...
