Your Attention Please [Breaking News and WoD Flamewars]

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Some of us have the brains and guts to know that the government isn't always right and doesn't always deserve unqualified support. The government and the Constitution are not the same thing.

That pretty much sums it up...doesn't it. Some people would just rather "live" in an environment where they don't have to make their own choices re: their life. I think they kinda do that sort of thing in China and Cuba; or so I hear. Might be a good vacation/life change option for some here.

Perhaps you should read the Rolling Stone article (Jan 2003). Like I said, I doubt many people would call that magazine a jack booted thug fan magazine. And if you have to ask if removing three more meth manufacturers from civilized society isn't an improvement you do have serious reality problems.

However, I do insist on Latvia.

If you really MUST have Latvia, it's OK with me.
But the selection of foreign nations that we currently have available only consists of Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Russia and United Kingdom.

Conspicuous in their absence are places like China, France, Iraq, India, Korea, Cuba, etc. etc.
Or one could have more general geopolitical regions: Balkans, European Union, Africa, South America, etc.

I'm not trying to be fussy or picky.
Just making a (hopefully) constructive suggestion.

[CWOJackson]

Oh yes, the great libertarian excuse.

"Oh yeah, Noelle Bush."

Wow, you got me there Skippy. LOL!

[MrLeRoy]

Do you have any reason to believe that there's any less meth on the streets because corrections has three more guests?

if you have to ask if removing three more meth manufacturers from civilized society isn't an improvement

That's not what I asked. Are you saying that the goal of the War On Some Drugs is not to reduce drug use but to remove undesirables from society?

Do you know the bit he does "If they mated..."?

Talk about your conflicted souls ...

"The Force is bong with this one ...

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Wow, you got me there Skippy.

Don't make dippy assertions, then.

[MrLeRoy]

"Darth? ... Darth's not here."

[CWOJackson]

What you asked doesn't really matter much to me or in the grand scheme of things. It is obvious that you can't understand even a simply concept that Rolling Stone was able to grasp quite easily.

Let's put it into a ratio that you might understand then...as of this morning there are three less potential libertarian voters on the street.

"Luke, you do not yet realize ... HOW TOTALLY BUZZZZZZED I AM!

[CWOJackson]

I would never repeat a mistake your parents made.

[MrLeRoy]

Squirm, dodge, evade ... yup, you're a Drug Warrior.

[CWOJackson]

No, actually I'm just someone enjoying some great coffee. The only folks I know that are squirming right now are three dope dealers...or freedom fighters for some.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I would never repeat a mistake your parents made.

Lest anyone wonder which side is interested in debate, and which side is interested in throwing off the gloves at center ice . . . there it is for all to see.

[and the horse you rode in on]

You could also argue your point in a civil manner using logic and persuasion instead of name calling and bitter responses.

Nah, that never works

So you're winning the drug war because you've taken 3 meth makers into custody? Great, terrific. How much are these three going to set you back? How easily do you think their production will be replaced? If there production is not replaced . . . better yet, if you popped half the meth labs in the country all at once . . . what happens to the demand for meth? What happens to the price for meth?

Yep, victory is at hand.

[CWOJackson]

Well Skippy, the only problem you have with your little large text morality play is that anyone reading it can go back through this entire thread and look at your humble posts...then laugh their butts off at you.

What we ask doesn't matter to the Chief Wriggling Officer.

Maybe you should rename this thread "Yet Another WOD Slug Fest."

BTW, what is a WoD?
