Question about Mary Jane

[Al B. Sure!]

People who ride horses probably like country or some ****, so I'm not sure that is true.

[Kidlicious]

Riding horses doesn't make you listen to country though. I've ridden horses before and I still understand that country sucks.

[C0ckney]

Also, I bet people who do Ecstasy like much crappier music than people who ride horses.

what sort of music do people who take ecstasy and who ride horses like?

[C0ckney]

to be fair that's pretty terrible. i wouldn't really consider it dubstep though.

[C0ckney]

i was thinking something more along the lines of this.

[Hauldren Collider]

Elok is right. That dubstep crap is the worst trend in music history since socialist realism.

Socialist realism is actually pretty great but it incorporates some Art Deco when it comes to statue\ and architecture.

Good questions and points. This is something I have probably said before...
There is a gas station in my area that basically sells crack kits. The hotel right next to it is a known drug and prostitution spot. Crackheads, prostitutes and dealers hang outside both locations all night. I can pull into the parking lot and depending on several circumstances get charges on the subjects for loitering, loitering for drugs and etc. The first charge loitering depends on if the store managerhas a problem with the person standing outside his store. He usually does not because that person is a customer i.e. he buys the crack kits. Now, when I leave and that person steals something out of the store the manager will call me back but the guy is long gone. Now, I have to do a report that takes time because the store manager is allowing potential criminals to loiter outside his establishment. Next, related issue, there are actually ordnances in place that if enforced with close the gas station and the hotel. Why are they not enforced? Money and politics. The store and hotel both bring in tax dollars and to some extent can operate without worrying about being shut down. In summary, too win the war on drugs we would have to enforce all the laws from the top down and not offer any quarter or haven to the drug users, dealers and those who provide the services that keep them in business.
Oh yeah, crack kits are legal.

Not sure what you mean by a "crack kit".

But I do have a question for you:

If crack and prostitution were legal, how much of your time would be wasted trying to deal with crap like this vs actually providing a safer community for the general public? (which IIUC is what Police Officers are supposed to do in a free country)

The crack would still **** up people's lives, but at least we wouldn't be wasting my tax dollars trying to enforce laws that are unenforceable in practice.


As far as your comments re: the war on drugs. You can't win it without the kind of enforcement that would make the Soviets and Nazis look like Liberals, and even then I'm pretty sure it would fail.

The fastest way to put a drug gang out of business is to legalise the product.

Take away the profits and the gangs will fail fast due to lack of money.

I'm not a fan of crack, heroin or cocaine. They're all destructive drugs, but making them illegal doesn't help the problem. It only empowers non-taxpaying criminals (and boosts the payroll of the local police force and increases the cost of the local jails).

Spend the money on education and re-habilitation. It'll be cheaper and we'll all be better off.

[DaShi]

Tax the Potheads!

[Thoth]

Tax the Potheads!

Agreed, just so long as the cost of that taxation doesn't push the price up to the point where it becomes more profitable to sell it illegally than legally.

[Kidlicious]

Obviously you just want cheap pot. You must smoke quite a bit.

[Thoth]

****.

I'm currently only smoking tobacco.

Go **** yourself with a cactus.

[Kidlicious]

And why do you want people to smoke more pot if you yourself don't smoke it?

[DaShi]

Kid, would you please threaten someone in several different threads.
