you think the price of gold will come crashing down? I disagree, up is the only way it can go.

alcohol kills more then all illegal drugs combined. Smoking tobacco is far more harmful then smoking pot. Things are bad so we should correct our mistakes to make things right, we shouldn't continue to do more of the same thing. I understand, you think you can tell me how I should live my life, or you at least think the government should have the authority to tell me how I should live my life. Keeping drugs illegal makes the streets dangerous. We give gangs a billion dollar industry to fund their operations then we scratch our heads and wonder why we have gang problems. Rather then legalizing drugs so the gangs lose that income, we try and lock up all the bad guys and hope eventually we'll get all of them and the gang problem will just go away, yet no matter how many we lock up, the gang problem continues.

I'm a little less selfish then you, I don't wanna make life better for me, i want it better for everyone

Governments tend to corrupt, this is why it is important to have libertarians. The American government is corrupt.

It's a choice between love and fear I guess. Educate people on the dangers, it's all you can do. I wasn't born to live under the government or societies thumb, I should be allowed to make my own choices.

what a pointless argument you guys are having.

You will see, it won't last, them along with majority of the world are running off bubble economies thanks to low interest rates and stimulus packages. Reality will kick in soon, this year or early next year I'm thinking. America's federal budget deficit for 2009 was $1.42 trillion, a $960 billion increase from their 2008 deficit. It is expected to be $2 trillion dollars this year, or at least that is what Ron Paul says, do you think a Government can continue to operate like that forever. America is broke.

Did you know economies have collapsed in the past.

Do you know what a bubble economy is? When you pump the economy with trillions of dollars, that creates a bubble economt. The economy is running off artificial spending. Once that money goes away, the bubble bursts and reality sinks in. Not only is there the stimulus bubble, having interest rates this low encourages people loan money and spend, more artificial spending because that can't last forever either, eventually people have to stop spending and start saving. The problem with America is over consumption and too much debt, consuming more and going into more debt won't solve the problem, it will just delay the inevitable, a correction must occur. America's government and its citizens are broke. When America falls the global economy falls.

If you lived next to Germany in the 30's would you not be disturbed as to what is going on there. Yes I am comparing the USA to Nazi Germany because that is what America is becoming.

I'm not gonna say 10,000 but it will go up and the American dollar will collapse.

Listen to Peter, he know what he is talking about. The U.S. Dollar will be worth nothing and by the looks of it so will the Euro. Buy silver.

I know many atheist look at religion and say why would people fight and die for religion. Believing in governments and the current monetary system and economic systems are also beliefs. We are fighting wars over our current beliefs now. Society hasn't evolved, we are just as ignorant as ever.

I told him Thomson and Chipman before.

well that isn't very smart of Glendale. In the midsts of a recession spend $25 million dollars to keep a failing team that most people don't care about in the city. Once this recession kicks into full gear and America forgoes a currency crisis I'm sure nobody will be spending money on hockey in phoenix and the team will come to Winnipeg. I don't need to apologize, I haven't been proven wrong, Winnipeg looks like it is the next city in line to get a team.

Thank god there is no tests at my work. That isn't the reason or they would say that is the reason. They say it is a danger to us and society, they are lying to us. There is definitely some hidden reason behind hit, I'm thinking because it may open your mind to see how much the government is really screwing us over. There isn't even a problem with people getting high and crashing, most accidents caused by drugs use and driving is done with alcohol.

Pot doesn't make you lazy, if your lazy now and you get high your just gonna really like being lazy. Don't blame the drug blame the lazy guy, the guy could just not be lazy, it's his choice. Pot has never stopped me from achieving my goals. By the way it's spelled stupefied not stupifed, but then again what do I know, I'm high right now. I don't care how you live your life, I don't care if you like the choices I make with mine but you should at least respect my choices.

To me it's more then the issue of pot or drugs, it's the issue of what role the government should or shouldn't be. In my view once the government starts to try and control how the people live there lives, the government is tyrannical. In my opinion almost all governments of the world are tyrannical. I'm cool with having my surgeon, bus, train, plane, or ferry driver smoking pot. I guess I can understand why some people wouldn't want that but that isn't what I'm advocating anyways. As for kids, do you think drug dealers I.D. minors. It is easier for them to get pot then alcohol.

What can I say, people want their pot. No government should be allowed to tell you can't have it.

He didn't rob people, he didn't hurt others, he does not deserve to go to jail. My conspiracy mind at work. They need drugs illegal because it creates violence on the streets. They keep us fighting against each other and then we become a little more dependent on the government to keep us safe. It is just a way to drive fear into society to control the population and justify the ever growing police state. Drug laws don't make us safer, they do the exact opposite.

ha ha fellowtraveller, looks like Phoenix might be coming to Winnipeg, you still gonna say Winnipeg won't be getting a transfer team. I told you the NHL isn't looking at Southern Ontario to put another team. It isn't stupid to bring a team to Winnipeg, we are new fans that the NHL needs.

Nicely said. I don't care if he broke American law. Canada should of just gave the finger to America and said no you can't have him. Would of been that easy. Putting him in jail won't make us safer, isn't that the point of that law, to make us safer. I'm sure if they asked Emery right now to stop selling seeds to America or you will go to jail in America, he would stop selling seeds to America.

come on guys, this is a human being who's life we are destroying. Not only will he suffer so will his wife, we should not be causing that kind of pain to others. I don't care what the law is, agreeing with the law just because it is the law is like serving a faceless queen.

He didn't even break any Canadian laws, the Canadian government knew he was selling seeds to the states, they were collecting taxes off it.

I've only done mushrooms 4 or 5 times. I have a different view, I believe psychedelic drugs are here to excel our evolution. Might not be the most popular theory but if people are allowed to believe in an invisible god in the sky then i'm allowed to believe that. I think plants and animals work together in many ways. I don't claim I know everything nor am I forcing my beliefs on anyone. They are taking down the world economy now. A world depression is already occurring, this isn't the worst of it, everything will come toppling down. These riots in Greece are going to happen world wide as the global economy comes crashing down. It isn't a theory it will happen. The gods in charge don't care about us, they never have. Millions will be forced to live on the street. When we see all this pain and destruction that will occur, I hope we finally come to our senses and realize this is not the way it should be. Random fact, 90% of the casualties in the Iraq and Afghanistan are civilians. People just like us being murdered. How is everyone okay with this, does it have to happen to a close family member for us to start to care. Their blood is on our hands. I believe there is more to life then just putting food on our plates. All we need to do is cut the anchors from our hearts and we'll be set free. If you want to learn be open minded to every possibility.
