Mohamed Ali Mr. Clay could have served like Arthur Ashe: away from combat. He could have been a real morale booster to the troops, but he thought otherwise. Too bad. The name is Ali, and he did serve. He served his beliefs. With as much or more courage and conviction as anyone who served in Viet Nam. He surely could have gone the Elvis route, but he put his money where his mouth was. A true patriot, and I'm sure you'll never get it Good day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR3mJzlyyrU

Mohamed Ali

Are you serious?

It means sacrificing objectivity for knee jerk reactions It means pandering to the lowest denominator. It means disguising insults as a form of meaningful/productive dialouge. It means we're right and your wrong. We made a mistake, but your stupid. It means were gonna waste time talking about past mistakes, instead of figuring out how to fix the problem. It means letting corporate America run the country through campaign contributions and lobbyists. It means polarize, divide, and conquer That describes both sides

No!! Fix the problem we made in reaction to the drug epidemic of the early 19th century. Legalize "the illegal drugs". Make sure the public understands the effects that the drugs can have. Separate marijuana out of the equation or at least quite associating it with narcotics. Bad information on one drug can lead to people assuming that all the information is bad. This will at least remove the criminal element. It will also Allow us to a revenue stream from the taxes. Also we can save billions of dollars not fighting a silly "war" that we've been getting our ass kicked in for 20+ years. Prohibition didn't work and neither will the "drug war" all it does is create a vacum for criminal activity. As far as funding "terrorists", well good luck trying to get any of the drug producing countries to make it legal. To many are making money hand over fist. As well as the power that the money provides them. Why not! Like you said, 'prohibition' didn't work. Make that shit legal and even more accessable to youngsters. We could have stores selling all that shit like we have liquor stores or Baskin Robbins! Can you just imagine the traffic fatalaties? Not to mention all the shootings and stabbings and just the overall chaos? Because of all that whacked-out dope-heads! Noone can handle booze and noone can handle dope... they just 'think' they can. I know that from experience. Legalizing it would probably mean a drop in price.(bright side to the users) What the government needs to do is really, honest to God crack-down on dope. Not this silly little, so-called 'War On Drugs'! What a joke! These little 'busts' we read and hear about aren't even scratching the surface. We need to get in there with the countries that produce it and don't want it and seriously help them get rid of it. Make the fines and penalties much stiffer for posession, selling and etc. Maybe, our government doesn't want to do that because they might lose out on some of the big bucks from it. I'll agree, booze is bad enough and weed, ain't much better. JMO. Chuck As noted it's easier for youngsters to get illegal/legal drugs. Then it is for them to buy alcohol. The only difference from your "examples" is removing the criminal element from the equation. From the time I was in Jr high till I was out of high school it was easier to get drugs than booze. Due to the simple fact that I could buy dope at school, at almost any point during the school day. I doubt much has changed since then, except you can get scrips easy on the net now. Plenty of people can handle dope(do you mean all illegal drugs or specific ones?) and booze. The fact that you couldn't does not mean that the none of the other 5 or 6 billion people in the world can't. Thats a false causal chain. As I stated earlier quite a few people in power in the governments of these drug producing countries don't want our help. They are making lots of money and obtaining power through the drug trade. So good luck with the lets go eradicate drug production. It's not gonna happen. For the same reason tobacco and booze are still legal in the US MONEY$$$$. Making stiffer penalties and ramping up enforcement. will not stop the demand it never has. All it will do is increase the price of the drugs, the prison population of this country, and the amount of money the US gov't wastes on the "drug war". It's not going away legal or illegal. Why take the path of most resistance, money waste, and criminality. To get the same result?

Interesting so you believe that taking away a lot of poor folks only source of income is the way to make friends? How much of the money goes to the growers or 'pickers'? Can't be much or they wouldn't be poor. If, they want to grow something else... fine. Growing a crop to produce dope, so as to make bundles of money for terrorists? I can't agree with that. Chuck You/we don't care about their situation, yet you/we ask them to care about ours? Besides the fact that no matter what we do it can't be stopped Mexico still exports pot. Columbia still exports coke Anything we do to poppies is just a minor glitch in production

Absolutely....unfortunately. And the worst offenders seem to keep getting elected over and over and over again... Exactly!!! Quite a few spend their time pointing fingers at the other "side". Trusting their "side", because they say the things they want to hear. Both sides forget that when a politicians mouth is moving he/she is telling lies. Then again what do you expect. People want to hear their "truth" not the Truth.

Coolio A beginner "express yourself" category might be nice. Those jumps still rank in my top 10, and I hate watching the video from them now.

Alright "berto" get of my mother. I got of yours, just like everyone else in the hood

Mr Smith Yo mama so ugly they push her face into dough to make gorilla cookies

You didn't learn the whole lesson. You let this guy lurk. Did you ask about his skill level? Did you discuss the dive plan? Did you discuss what to do if the dive went to shit ie he goes low. I'm pretty sure that the 4 of you discussed this, but did you have this discussion with the 5th guy on the ride up(I'm assuming he joined as you were getting ready to load). My point is that it doesn't sound like the fifth guy had a plan and you guys didn't impose one on him. Thats a great way to end up where you were the other day. Sounds like you expected him to know not to be under you, but unfortunately not everybody knows what to do in given situations. Thats why the dive needs to be spelled out quite clearly before you climb out the door. As an aside. I would have been looking all over for him from break off till I pulled

Oh yea my .02 on format. Mix the skill levels as opposed to having people of the same skill level fly together.

I have never seen a Keg "float" sooooo fast in my life, and the Jagermeister was INHALED!!! see ya!!!! ... in a matter of minutes!!!!! (and we're talking the "CostCo/SAM's Club Size" Bottles too!!) ...and Joe was no where near the scene of the crime. hahaha Cool People, ...Cool Vibe, ....Cool Revolution. Rat Infestation is the way to go! ( the couch burning was cool too. ) Weak Force Rodents in da house. Hows that spirit award working for ya?

Yes there are. The most important, The most resource rich territory is still waiting for humans. The bitch is building an infrastructure to get there, and the vision to actually do it.

psssst...... No it wasn't for power. Your talking crazy. Constantine started the first council of Nicaea out of the goodness of his heart, and the love of his people. I bet Mr cut and paste has never heard of nor understands the implications that council had on his religion (edit to add) Sunday as the holy day what a laugh riot, Apollo must have been pleased.

Interesting, this is usually the case when talking to people that don't understand science. See how that works just spout some BS with no proof and your superior. What a crock O shit. Why don't you go read a brief history of time, and see if you can wrap your brain around it. That might give ya a clue. The day you can explain light cones. Not the cut and paste explanations you seem to favor, but truly explain them, will be the day I take you halfway seriously. Going with your kind of presumptive logic. That will never happen. So I don't have to ever take you seriously. good day

Again huh? "True Science" seeks to explain. Not to prove or disprove a certain religions precepts are true or not true. A better question would be why flora and not fauna. In other words why are all of his listed examples plants?

HUH?

I'm confused how does a theory "evolution" have a theory about anything.

Until something is done about campaign $$$$$ and corporations owning both "sides" it's all pissing in the wind. Corporation's run the government and our two party system gives them every opportunity to divide and conquer, which is exactly what they do.
