..."helping to fund the terrorists" is because of 9-11. in all honesty do u really think any of these kids gave a shit about terrorism?? or even knew what it was?? there was no commercial like that before all this happened. and the govt is trying to use a 'scare tactic' to try to get through to these kids. these kids (among many adults) really didnt give a shit what was goin on in the rest of the world. now that its happened here the govt is throwin them the 'terrorist' word to make them think that they helped kill their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, etc by buying drugs from these guys. or at least helped the funding for it. these kids hear the word terrorist n who is it that u think they think of?? taliban!! osama!! now i know that its just him that the commercial was talking about but the govt is trying to make these drug users think it is. do u actually think these kids cared what a terrorist was before 9-11??
: On the subject of the war on drugs and criticism of such, which you thought would be solved by some good old-fashioned voting...
: Damn, I never thought of that. If only we all voted! I mean, what if a majority of the American people voted for someone who actually smoked marijuana (rather than putting enough cocaine up his nose to satiate Studio 54 on a hopping Saturday) and didn't wreck his life, but rather became an intelligent, successful politician? I mean, there's NO WAY that some crackpot with a fascist agenda would ever be able to stop us then! Let's vote our way to freedom, folks, every vote counts -- except for those of you who live in Florida: you, sirs, are fucked.
: I don't think you have any information about what forms and kinds of activism that the people on this board are involved in. If you had any proof that we're some lazy slackers who don't involve ourselves in political doings, then you'd have a valid point. As it is, you're talking out of your ass. Try phrasing things a little more nicely next time.
: Moreover, I don't think you qualify as an expert on domestic terrorism. Mafia crime lords are not concerned with the downfall of the United States government; if the government and its drug laws cease to exist, they no longer have a market which will stand their outrageous drug prices. Anything is more profitable if it is illegal than if it's legal; simple law of supply and demand. You should probably rethink your theories.
: : the commercials in question?..they didnt say anything about the fucking middle east!..They were speaking of DOMESTIC TERRORISM!..Most of ALL drugs distributed in this country are done so by CRIME organizations...Who ARE also involved in many terrorist actions against our very own police and governments..If you cant make that connection than I feel very sad for you..
: : Im SO freakin sick of people bitching and whinning about our governments EVIL war against drugs..GODDAMNIT if you all just got off your lazy asses and VOTED, MAYBE you could change things...but, no you are content crying every time another "innocent" person is arrested..HE WAS JUST SMOKING A JOINT!...um, that joint is illegal..he knew this..he did it anyway..he made the decision and now he faces the consequences...
: : If you are REALLY unhappy about the way things are run, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN BITCH...
