Hapaboy, were you even alive in 1962? Do you have any clue what the world was like then? We were NOT NUMERO UNO then. Russia had a superior space program, and a bigger and more well equipped army, a nuclear arsenal at LEAST as overwhelming as our own, and a leader that was a fanatic. The USSR...

Did I say that? No, I did not! It was just "game over" for a failed experiment...USSR. Giving credit to Reagan is just nonsense. Would not have mattered who was in the White House. The USSR was done. For more reasons than I care to go into here. Sure, "Star Wars" (SDI) got a lot of press...

Canyonman......let me ask you a question. Group A: Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton, Carter Group B: Reagan, Dubya, Nixon, Ford, Papa Bush In which group do you find the members to have been more aware of world affairs, fiscal policy, domestic social issues, and capable of MAKING DECISIONS...

Hey. if you gotta get your ass kicked, at least if it's done by the Angels, there's no shame. IMHO.

You mean the guy that lives in Woody Creek with a shitload of firearms? The guy that ran for Sheriff of Pitkin County (Aspen) on the "Freak Power Ticket"? The guy that wrote "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"? The guy that covered Nixon's '68 campaign in a psychedelic haze? The guy...

I have almost 2000 or so posts....here is my first full fledged "cut and paste"...worthy of even Traderfut or Wild, or any of the other c&p artists. Enjoy: Ronald Reagan and the quest for an ultimate defence by Tim Creery On March 8, 1983, President Ronald Reagan addressed the National...

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four young mothers and their small children... "You all have obsessions," he observed. To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've even named your daughter Candy." He turned to the second Mom, Ann...

I heard that Clinton and Bob Dole are going to debate each other on 60 Minutes this Sunday night. Obviously, it's been taped already, because Dole is NOT HAPPY!!! (who would have guessed......) Peace, Rs7

Yeah, let's not forget that maggot Newt Gingrich, Mr. Family Values himself. Only member of congress ever to leave his wife (told her while she was in the hospital) so she was left dependant on welfare to survive. Oh, and of course, the "Contract with America" was against welfare too. So if old...

Who was most harmed by the repeal of prohibition? The bootleggers and "rumrunners". The drug cartels are a lot more organized and run by more ruthless and certainly better educated and more intelligent "entrepreneurs" than Al Capone ever aspired to be. There is more to this than right...

bung, arguing with Reaganites is like arguing with, well, Reagan himself. Logic, and facts are irrelevant. Take a stand, stick with it right or wrong, whether it works or not. Because you can always take credit for the occasional success (luck comes in here big time) and blame the other...

In a legal sense, I would guess not much. But by implication, I would say the word "decriminalize" just removes "criminality" from possession or use. Much like in Oregon, and in Holland, and parts of Canada. So as far as I know, if one is caught with what we now consider "illegal" substances...

OK, I'll bite.....WHY? Peace, :)Rs7 PS: No, I would not vote for him except under extreme circumstances (Reagan vs. David Duke, or something equally absurd).

just re-read my last post.....obviously when I said that these drugs were legal in the US in the 13th century, it was a typo...there was no US then. I meant to say 19th century. (even early 20th century) And I Surf, I agree, decriminalization is a better term than legalization.

Clearly Nazi antisemitism was not based on biological "race" but on the religion of one's grandparents, parents or in some cases, one's own religion. The religion in question is, of course, Judaism. This is not the same as claiming that the Nazis did not think that their antisemitism was based...

Thanks, always a pleasure! [/b] OK, if you can respectfully disagree, I guess I can too. In the case of "soft" drugs, like pot and i guess whatever else is fashionable these days, smoking 10 times as much is unlikely. Now I have no idea about Ecstasy or only of these other designer drugs, but...

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger said, "I'm Kobe Bryant, the best NBA player. The Lakers need me; I can't afford to die." So he took the first pack and left the plane. The second passenger, Hillary...

Speaking for Hapa, I could point out one pretty major difference. If Hapaboy executed a drug dealer, (on his own), he would be hunted down as a renegade vigilante. If Pablo Escobar executed a competitor, he would be sought after by a new cult of religious zealots, since he has been dead for...

Tampa, strong point and a tough one to argue. But for arguments sake, what if the cost being $5 instead of $50 makes the druggie less desperate. Maybe he now can plan ahead and not be so compelled to get together the $50. 'Cause, he still has $45 left from his last heist (staying with your...
