Full quote will not make any difference if you are being emotionally manipulated by TV. That is just wrong and I'm concerned about those like yourself who are being jerked around and emotionally led on for corporate gain.

What about the son and grandson of a banker/senator who funded Hitler being presidents?

Too bad you weren't living in Canada with the other Eastern Euros who kept their children alive by running booze because they weren't allowed to be part of Canadian society when they arrived.

Sound familiar?

Praxius, I must confess, YOU GOT ME!!!!

Would you be just as sanctimonious if I had said - instead of a n admittedly misinformed 5% - a small percentage?

Get real. Illegal is illegal, no matter how you try to jasify it. Until the law is changed, shut up! And I promise that WHEN the law is changed I WILL SHUT UP.

BTW, the constant bashing I hear from ill-informed or misinformed dupes about FOXNews has been totally repudiated by your quote. Maybe FOX IS fair and balanced, NO?

Laws don't get changed by people shutting up.

It'd still be considered small compared to 50%, but it's still a large % of the population.... and that's just the % that openly admitted they use the drug, so in reality, that % is probably even higher.

How about no?

How do you ever expect laws to change when you're expect to just "Shut Up" about that law? If nobody challenges the law, if nobody openly questions or voice their opinions over a law, then logically that law will remain exactly as it is and will never change..... unless you somehow believe that if we all just shut up, be quiet and act like good little children, the government might magically change the laws on illegal drug use as a reward for our good behavior?

No bloody likely...... and I'm the one being asked to "Get Real?"

BTW, the constant bashing I hear from ill-informed or misinformed dupes about FOXNews has been totally repudiated by your quote. Maybe FOX IS fair and balanced, NO?
Not really, it's the same report that's copy/pasted exactly as written as found in a number of news sources at the time of the report... thus they didn't really write it.... and one example does not suddenly wipe away all of the other countless examples of bias.... besides, the report is written in a way that focuses on Canada as having a worse issue with drug use (marijuana in particular) then the US, so obviously they don't need to tweak it in order to suit their agenda.

Although further in the report they do note that US teenagers use Cocaine a hell of a lot more then Canada or most other nations they studied.... but since Cocaine is George Bush's and the Republicans choice of drug..... that just seems more like bragging rights then anything.

But that's ok, I'll take the bragging rights about marijuana. :p

maybe Yukon Jack needs to find out what it's like to spend the night in the hoosegow because he was taking 75 weighed, bagged and tagged rock flour samples to the NRC labs but was stopped at a Nazi Spot check by a cop with FAS and steroid rage issues?

How come cops who buy, sell and use steroids never seem to get busted? It's well known in the gyms that if you want the best "juice" you have to go to a cop.

Halifax cop arrested in criminal investigation
Halifax cop arrested in criminal investigation - Metro - TheChronicleHerald.ca

Halifax Regional Police have arrested one of their own officers and another man as part of a criminal investigation.

The officer was arrested at a Halifax residence at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, Const. Brian Palmeter said. The other man was picked up Tuesday night.

Sources said the officer is Const. Sam Saade and he and the other man are subjects of a breach of trust probe.

Both were still in custody early Wednesday evening but hadn’t been charged.

"Once a person’s arrested, we have 24 hours from which time to lay charges or release them," Palmeter said.

"At this time, no decision on charges has been made. We’re not questioning anybody else at this time."

Palmeter wouldn’t release either man’s name or specify what type of crime is under investigation. No decision had been made regarding the officer’s status on the police force, he said.

The integrated criminal investigative section, consisting of regional police officers and Mounties, is handling the case, Palmeter said.

Unofficially as of yesterday, the word was that the case revolves around drug dealing, but nothing official has been noted yet until charges are officially laid.

The question that immediately comes to mind is: "Why would the FBI and the U.S. Census Bureau classify persons of Hispanic origin as being White?" The answer might surprise you. The FBI and the U.S. Census Bureau, along with the controlled media, purposely distort criminal statistics and conveniently classify Mexican-Americans as White because they do not want the American public to know the truth -- that blacks are responsible for committing a vastly disproportionate number of
crimes here in the United States.

Is it because the people from Spain are white or do people immediately think of a Mexican as an American native?

I just wanted to comment on the link #juan posted as well- Jumpin' Jiminy #@%&!!!!

Oh, I so want to quote a couple of the more outrageous phrases, but it would make me feel dirty.

It is kind of frightening; to imagine people reading that awful garbage and nodding in grim understanding is some kind of unfathomable to me, thank goodness
