  • HOLLAFAME said:I don't know what you do for work, KVH, but if you ran around your workplace saying "fucking faggot" every time you stubbed your toe or you had to do another TPS report, I don't imagine your boss would be too pleased. this is r…
  • The_Hook_Up said:yeah, everyone should have free reign to use any word when they are mildly inconvenienced. It is very important to allow the inconvenienced the freedom to say whatever they want about any group of people they deem as "insultable".. …

  • what are the proposed limits if we decriminalize? does a pregnant woman have the freedom to do crack? what about a parent in the presence of his/her child? how do we police these things?

  • people are speaking in a manner-of-fact way about something that is counter-intuitive. forget thailand, my friend just moved to singapore - which has mandatory capital punishment for certain drug offenses. to say that laws don't effect how…
  • casey, i think a lot of people are agreeing with the basic premise that drugs can and do ruin lives. but theres definitely some different opinions on how to handle that as a society. we let the underground economy provide access to il…

  • Lets take the $$$ we spend on the "War on Drugs", including what we spend on jail cells, private prisons, etc. and use it for Education and Rehabilitation. First, let's stop using the 80s (Reagan) phrase "war on drugs" becaus…
