I want honest/realistic answers. We can see a more progressive approach to drugs now being discussed in Europe, with Portugal's successful attempt at decriminalizing all drugs. Not to mention, Canada almost had marijuana decriminalized in 2005, if it wasn't for Mr. Bush and friends. We also...

Yes, I do. Only problem with gun control, is if there is a place where you can easily obtain guns and have them smuggled from there. Other wise gun control works, in Canada at least. Guns are not like drugs, people do not get addicted to Guns. If you make guns hard to get, you will limit gun...

I'm not going to get started on wiki as a reliable source, but I will bring a more current census into this debate. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/090721/dq090721a-eng.htm The trend in Canada is a increase in homicides, decline in other violent crimes, and decline in reported break...

No what I was saying was, I do not not need a gun because I would rather solve disputes through rational conversation, not wild wild west mentality. But the thing is we here in Canada do not have a high crime rate, cause we deal with the root causes of crime, our only major problem right now...

Thanks for showing me you are chickenshit, and where did you get the impression I like to rob houses, cause I don't like to carry a gun? Cause I am not afraid of my own shadow, "oh know big government is gonna get me" or " a minority just moved in the neighborhood, Ima need a gun", I would...

Defend yourself? What are you scared of? Why are Americans so keen on arming themselves from these potential threats, all these hypothetical situations. "Oh what if someone is robbing your house?" , just live your life, shit you could fucking get hit by a car, but does that mean you should never...

Canada has handgun control, and our crime rates are on a steady decline, a trend instituted from the idea of treating the root cause of crime, and forgetting "tough on crime mentality" . In fact most of our homicides/gun crimes (I live in Toronto) are from illegal guns smuggled in from America...

Europe heading towards Reaganomics? I don't think so, if anything more regulations is what their heading for, kinda like Canada. Which even in this tough climate has not had it's banking system fail and is doing the best out of all the nations because of their strong regulatory system which is...

Have you read about Portugal's recent drug policy? They have decriminalized all drugs, and as of now it has been extremely successful in curbing drug use. Source : BBC report : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmx5-a_ny00&feature=channel_page Back on topic, Glenn Beck is a douche he cannot even...

Has anybody considered that prohibition of marijuana inflates it's price. When/If it becomes legal, I think it would be traded at the same price of other commodities of similar nature (like wheat and barely) which are traded at like $10 000 a Tonne, not $10 000 a Kg.

My argument is I would rather pay more and not go to jail, than have it at a lower cost and do go to jail. Not to mention, prohibition inflates the price of marijuana. The cost would be significantly less, almost at same price of other commodities that are traded at same price(prohibition cost...

I rather pay a little extra, than have the risk of my ultimate freedoms being compromised. Honestly, I do not see a debate, the pros of having it legal far out way the pros of having it illegal.

Obama didn't know Somali pirates were Muslim? ........ lol .......95% of that country is Muslim. Rush where do you get your facts?

My apologies, I miss-read, and got confused.

So do you actually believe or is it just a ploy?
