I have friends who have been extremely heavy users. In the middle of a craving one of them would probably wind up taking a sledgehammer to this thing. This won't stop anyone who seriously needs a fix.

The two choices are not bomb or turn a blind eye.

Interesting how you can be so self-assured without any sources to back you up. Here's one you should look at:

We've turned down several offers for them to stop enriching in exchange for us to end our sanctions. Why might that be?

Maybe because Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons and because our government doesn't believe that North Korea is suicidal (despite what you might read on CNN). There is no reason to go to war with either, as neither poses any sort of imminent threat whatsoever.

Someone please show me a source that conclusively says Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear weapon and not just enriched uranium for a nuclear power program. All of our official reports have said that Iran is not pursuing a weapon and wouldn't be close to one even if they tried. We have truly become a nation of cowards…

Did you read the article? We're not even killing people who pose a direct threat to us. We should be staying out of the area entirely.

Read Scott Shane's original piece on the drone strike program in the NYT. It revealed that a very high percentage of our strikes in Pakistan are "signature" strikes, where we identify behavior in unidentified individuals (like 4 guys doing jumping jacks together) that we associate with terrorism, and then bomb those…

The article is about how we're not even killing people that threaten us directly. How is that war?

Well at least you admit that we're acting like a global police officer, even when our interests aren't directly involved.

You realize that innocent people do live in those areas though, right?

The Chinese are perfectly entitled to execute criminals in China under their own laws, though, just as we are perfectly entitled to keep 25% of the world's prison population locked up within our borders. That has nothing to do with the question of whether or not it would be acceptable for them to start using drones to…

I put it in quotes because it's not my opinion. I completely disagree with it.

The only ones they catch to begin with are the ones who are too stupid to do any damage anyway. Since 9/11 all of the branches of the government (not just the FBI) have stopped like 3 actual terrorist attacks in progress. Actually, make that 2 because the shoebomber was stopped by passengers on his flight. Regardless,…

The "other side":

Both sides?? If one side is against real-time monitoring of electronic communications that doesn't follow a rigorous process of getting a warrant, the other side can only be for a selective reading of the Constitution. I don't see how there can be two sides to this.

Yes. That is the point of the Constitution and all of the prominent Supreme Court cases that have led to modern civil liberties protections. There is supposed to be a process that law enforcement follows which ensures that the burden is always placed on them to provide a reason for violating a person's right to…

Haha seriously. How are you the only person who's mentioned this?

I'm pretty sure this makes more sense for buyers who want to make sure they're not getting ripped off (or for people who actually do need to weigh random shit). I think most dealers pre-weigh, and wouldn't want to be displaying a scale on their person anyway.

Not to mention the fact that any sort of experienced dealer would not keep a scale on his person. If you're caught with a quarter of weed in a state where it's decriminalized, you're going to get a citation. If you're caught with that weed and a scale with some residue on it, that could give the cops the ability to…
