: 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..
And, not that I'm the person who said that, by legalizing drugs, this would eliminate the main source of income for these same organizations while, at the same time, increasing the revenue of the government.
But, the fact is that even if these particular commercials in question weren't referring to the Middle East -- I don't know -- the recent government has been doing it's best to push the propoganda that drugs and terrorists go hand-in-hand in the Middle East, which isn't just far from true, but far from what they themselves were saying back when they thought they were going to have to build the pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan in a much more roundabout way than they wound up needing
: 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...
Why is this in response to anything I said? My point was the ads are bullshit any way you look at it, nothing to do with legalization until now, since you brought it up.
: If you are REALLY unhappy about the way things are run, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OTHER THAN BITCH...
Dude, you can't do anything on the Internet except bitch.
