International law such as the Geneva Convention does recognize the necessity of civilians support for combat forces but only in noncombatant roles that keep them out of a direct engagement with enemy forces.

The whole war on drugs is

Jacob Freeze — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 14:01:47 -0600

The whole war on drugs is stupid, and the only visible result of it is that hundreds of thousands of lives have been destroyed by long prison terms. In almost forty years of this absurd puritanical crusade, the supply and potency of drugs has constantly increased, but the cowardly Congress can't repeal harsh sentencing guidelines because all of them are afraid of being accused of being "soft on drugs."

So desperately poor drug mules from Colombia spend the rest of their lives in prison, while their bosses just get richer in palaces outside Medellin, and none of this bullshit ever diminishes the supply of drugs by one microgram!

Thanks for keeping up with this issue, xxdr_zombiexx!

Meanwhile drug-addled pigs like Rush Limbaugh keep calling for harsher sentences for simple possession of marijuana, but for Rush it's always just a little mistake about prescriptions when he gets caught, and that son-of-a-bitch will never see the inside of a prison, because his Republican friends in Congress make sure the anti-drug laws only apply to minorities and the poor.

I think the percentage of Americans who have tried illegal drugs must be over 50%.

As for legal drugs...

Dude....

Forgive me for failing to comment on your posting as well.

I don't watch TV but Glenn Beck is SO horrible I am aware of him even without the damned thing. He leers at me on the sides of buses here in Atlanta, pointing his finger saying "Cut the crap!".

This Palin character is rather like having An Coulter as VP, it seems, from all the dirt and chaffe that has been blasted into the air.

Have a good weekend, Mr. Freeze.

At least there's one issue

At least there's one issue where I totally agree with xxdr_zombiexx.

Keep up the good fight! Hundreds of thousands of lives have been ruined in prisons by the stupid and ridiculously ineffective crusade against marijuana.

Thanks for the "Dragnet"

Thanks for the "Dragnet" clip. That brought back great memories!

Ian,

Also, if there is a student therapuetic massage clinic near you, I suggest you try that. In some states these are actually licensed places where deep massage and muscle rehabilitation and nerve rehab is done. I suggest a student clinic because some of them offer a cut fee.

The main problem with a lot of hemorrhoids remedies (and most traditional medicine) is that it is designed to mask the symptoms. Certain herbs can work with our body to eliminate the root cause of hemorrhoids. Eliminating the causes of hemorrhoids will relieve the symptoms naturally. Why do people wast valuable time and money on medicines that will only temporarily 'fix' the problem? I think that they just don't know. Well, I found out the long, hard way that there is a natural treatment for hemorrhoids.

Jacob Freeze — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:37:23 -0600

Didn't it tip you off that I might not be a "narrow-minded prohibition supporter" when I talked about 250,000 Americans "wasting long years of their lives in prison" because of "ridiculous drug laws?" How do you expect to write anything worthwhile if you can't quite read?

Adolescent cop-bashing is just a distraction from the infinitely more serious consequences of draconian drug laws written by soulless right-wing legislators and supported by spineless Democrats.

250,000 Americans are serving a total of more than a million years in prison for silly marijuana busts, more than fifty million weeks of hard time, and there aren't many of those inmates who wouldn't take a minor slap-down in return for getting out of prison just one week sooner.

In spite of the elevation of your diatribe on BuzzFlash, it's really worse than worthless, because it confirms the right-wing stereotype that the only critics of our miserable drug laws are cop-bashing teenagers.

But for any intelligent high school kids who happen to read this exchange, I can suggest a much better subject for an essay, and that's the thousands of teenagers whose lives have been destroyed by drug busts in states like Nevada, where possession of one seed automatically classifies you as a dealer.

A low-rent marijuana habit didn't prevent Barack Obama from making good grades and getting into Harvard, but if he had ever been busted with just barely enough weight to classify him as a dealer, he could have ended up just like his homeless friend Keith Kakugawa.

The Diatribune posting of this article went to the BUZZFLASH BUZZ box on their frontpage.

The vast majority of people who see this are repulsed.

OK Pinhead: I often say that

OK Pinhead:

I often say that "Politeness isn't the answer" when making the dubious attempt to educate severely prejudiced people about cannabis reform and you are the poster boy for this fact.

Cannabis prohibition is emotional, not factual. It runs on hype and fear and in YOUR case, the smug ignorance of folks who don't know half what they think they do. Contrary to what a lot of reformers believe, polite renditions of tidy facts go nowhere and stiff confrontation of bullshit attitudes like yours is the more appropriate route to go.

The person with the bullshit attitude -in this case, Jacob Freeze, would be confronted something like this:

What the fuck do you ACTUALLY know about this outside of what the Federal Government wants you to think so you are a good citizen?

I'll tell you what you know. It can be gleaned from what you have given me already.

You don't know jack shit about this issue and you will only make that clear with each dumbass comment you post and it stands out a mile away.

The issue is far larger than you narrow-minded prohibition supporters can grasp.

Stick to taking pretty pictures, boy.

ON EDIT - I see you have a Kos account.

I was right - you are a RSA. Heh!

Since you know so much more than me you need to write you a diary and just smack this down once and for all.

I am sure you can do it since I know nothing.

Feh.

EDIT II: Oh My. I called you a pinhead and I was more correct than I could have known.

BANNED from Daily Kos for Trollery.

HA HA.

Jacob Freeze — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:01:18 -0600

Although it may be incomprehensible from your zit's-eye view of the political scene, more than 250,000 Americans are wasting long years of their lives in prison for non-violent marijuana busts, and chattering about low-level misbehavior by Barney Fife is just a distraction from the real problem.

I will start by assuming

xxdr_zombiexx — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:24:31 -0600

I will start by assuming this is not snark. If it is and I missed the humor in it, I apologize.

As I said I the start, there's be the Responsible Serious Adult to come along and support the Cop's assault on this person and belittle the majority that will find this rather breathtaking, pardon the pun.

But this is as ignorant as it is insensitive. Good show.

"Isn't seriously injured" is beside the point. Why did his charges get dropped?

Is the judge some dumbass teenager too?

An Activist Liberal Judge?

Why did the charges get tossed??

The judge TOSSED the charges and the victim has a dandy lawsuit to file. The cop assaulted the man, plain and simple and your head is up in your ass somewhere if you support such violent assaults on people for demonstrably nothing.

This cop is a danger to the public and a liability to the city. He's pulled similar stunts in cities where he NO LONGER WORKS.

Correct your attitude..
