EVERYTHING should be legal.

[Nitro Express]

I think we are seeing too much regulation becomes un-regulation in the end. Just look at Securities and Exchange Commission who investigated Bernie Maddoff several times and decided he was clean. Also, it was discovered high ranking SEC officials were just camping out in the office all day looking at porn and doing no regulating. They probably were just filling out govt. forms to look like they were doing their job. Who knows but we have more government regulation now than ever and there seems to be more fraud than ever. All this regulation does is suck tons of our money and it seems to get in the way of the productive people in society more than the criminals who by the way, seem to be making a killing right now.

So I say just fuck it and make everything legal. If you die because of your own stupidity then we have just removed another stupid person from the overpopulation problem.

[vh rides again]

It will never happen, they make too much money putting us in jail. The best thing you can do to combat it is to move to my city and purchase a pandering license for 55.00 and stand on the streetcorner begging for money and making a nuisance of yourself, they know you have nowhere to live and out of spite wont throw you in jail because it will be doing you a favor. Illinois is getting ready to make medicinal marijuana legal and the cops here are telling so many lies about how its gonna cause tons of crime and such, like I cant walk 50 feet in any direction and buy a oz at any time of day. I cannot wait till my downtown area has a pot shop on every corner, and they are gonna allow you to grow either 3 or 7 personal plants. I cant friggin wait, I have a condition that requires the smoking of weed.

since the seatbelt laws went into effect ive been ticketed 3 times, like 200 bucks in the last what is it 10-12 years? I am happy paying that amount to not have to wear one, its worth it.

I think the biggest problem I have with any of the laws are the drug laws, and I seriously dont do any bad ones, i might smoke a doob every once in awhile thats it. but the drug laws are fucked up, drugs are plentiful and the war on them is a joke, its just a drain on our society to pay for it. now the big thing is perscribed drugs and im sure the pharmesutical companies are happy as hell about it. the fucking doctors are the biggest drug dealers out there. I guarantee you I can call my doctor and get anything I want today, have that shit in my hand within an hour. Its fucking rediculous.

the fucking prisons are full of people selling weed and its putting billions in the cops,cities,states,lawyers,courts pockets and we are paying for it. over a basically harmless drug. I wouldnt say its completly harmless though.

we need laws, they just need to be the right ones.

[sadaist]

Legalize gambling, prostitution & marijuana. I'm all for it.



ps - and fishing without a license please. I have been busted several times for having incorrect species stamps or wrong season type crap. Using 2 poles with 1 license. (1 was bait, the other I was lure casting)

[FORD]

Can't agree with the fishing thing - because overharvesting is threatening god knows how many fish species.

So there should be a way of regulating it. Though worrying about a single fisherman using 2 poles is a bit of overkill, I'll admit.

[ELVIS]

How good ole population reduction ??

[FORD]

You mean like a Prescott Bush eugenics program?

(Start by eliminating the BCE)

The commercial fishing quota system is WAY overboard with graft in government. The people in charge want to kill the little guy so it will be just the corporation processing boats that can legally fish. The big corporations pay kickbacks and donate election funding to the same politicians in charge of making the rules,and well, you know the story.......

[FORD]

Yeah, but that's a whole other thread there on the corporate influence in government thing. Going back to Elvis's idea of adopting a "population reduction program", corporate lobbyists would be my second choice for a target, right after the BCE.

Each state should probably have their own fish & wildlife advisory board, with membership made up of biologists, environmental scientists, non-corporate fishermen and Native American tribes. No corporate shills allowed.

[twonabomber]

Ohio's busted a few big fisheries over the last few years.

war on drugs...end it.

i'm tired of people trying to legislate morality.

[knuckleboner]

Though worrying about a single fisherman using 2 poles is a bit of overkill, I'll admit.

nah. it can get a little boring sometimes. if a fisherman wants to start using his other pole to kill time, who am i to judge?...

It's not so much getting a license. It's that it isn't that easy. License plus 500 different endorsement stamps for areas, fish, seasons, etc... It gets crazy. And when I got busted with 2 poles, they acted like I was harvesting 1000's of fish illegally. I think I maybe had 1-2 fish on a stringer. Had 1 line out with bait, and while I watched the tip of the pole for a bite, to kill time I cast out a lure with another pole. $400 ticket. Fucking bullshit.

[chefcraig]

The flaw in this thinking is that the imbecile who is overindulging more often than not does NOT die from his/her own stupidity. Instead, it is the family minding their own business, making their way either to or from a social event that gets broadsided in their minivan by the imbecile, that end up getting planted. Collateral damage caused by irresponsible behavior is far and above the means of expediency or any sense of practicality, let alone basic common sense.

It's also easier to collect taxes from corporations than it is from the mom and pop style small business...

It would be...... if they didn't use loopholes to NOT pay them. :(

I have to punish you with imprisonment, torture then quartering after my New Regime's military tribunal finds your statements in contempt.

After all, in NitroWORLD, that would be legal.

No what we really need to do is re-regulate everything deregulated since Reagan's Decade of Greed on up thru Clinton and starting with the FCC's rules on media ownership, doing away with cookie-cutter radio. I nearly lost it the other day driving, cuz I fuckin hate The Eagles and Jackson Browne okay.. no sooner than I hear the first chords to "Take It Easy" come on The Sound 100.3, that I hit that station jog button.. that it's starting again on JackFM 93.1 here in LA. like within seconds of me switching stations.

Fuck CBS/Viacom and their whole ball of shit radio. It should be legal to start up your own FM radio station within a micro-bandwith, say 93.1.1 FM ScrewJACK FM "we play shit that don't suck" etc..

[Igosplut]

It goes much deeper than that. Once the corporations own all the permits, then they are worth millions, Much more than even the fleets that fish them. It's like investing in land, but better. Also then they control fish prices exclusively, gaining a stranglehold on the industry and forcing all the small packers/processors out of business. Fisherman/captains will now only work for an (low) hourly wage as there will be NO independent boats. It's all about a few (big business) making ALL the money, and the rest doing the hard work for peanuts...

[BigBadBrian]

BS.

Most avid recreational fishermen I know are serious conservationalists that have done more for fish and the environment than algore ever will.

:gulp:

BTW, just got my lifetime saltwater fishing licence. Now saving for a lifetime archery/crossbow and blackpowder license.

And the government gets it's tax percentage, whereas here in the gulf, the government has discovered (since the oil spill) that the vast majority of the Louisiana shrimpers and fishermen have been cheating the state and the IRS for years...

Not knowing how shrimping works (if you even need a license, or have catch-quotas) but I can tell you the government has kept a close watch on fisherman through their catch permitting/licensing. In 1990, they instituted Individual fishing quotas based on your past landings. In effect, they said "This is what you've landed from years past, so it is what you're allowed". And if you don't land that every year, they reduce it (and they reduced it anyway). SO, that makes it very hard to cheat, and they watch the wholesalers even closer by making them do sale reports...

[ELVIS]

Well, it's seems easy to cheat around here...

[FORD]

You really think Forrest Gump and Lt. Dan are "cheating" the Louisiana government more than BP is? You really think the shrimpers have done more damage to your state than the greedy amoral oil bastards?

I saw we have a game where you take lobbyists up in a helicopter in Washington DC and see how many we can impale on the top of the Washington Monument.

[BITEYOASS]

One of the few things that should remain illegal IMO would be chrystal meth. Not only on how it turns people violently batshit crazy, but also how the manufacturing of this shit turns neighborhoods into hazardous waste sites.

[FORD]

Yep. But if all the plant based drugs were legal, it's doubtful that anybody would be using that shit in the first place. As I've been saying for years now, drug addiction needs to be treated as a health issue and not a criminal issue.

[ELVIS]

God, I hate agreeing with E, but in this case...addicts of all 3 will steal you blind if they're out and jonesing... a stoner - will just get annoyed...lol

[FORD]

True, but I'm referring more to the long term mental damage even when they're off the drugs. You can be a junkie for 10 years, and if you survive and get off the shit, the worst that could happen is that you talk like Keith Richards. But tweakers have mental damage for life. That shit is irreversible.

Disagree, just look at Jimmy Page. After a decade of abuse, he not only lost most of his playing ability, but his songcraft as well. Unless you consider 6 albums of new, below par material released in the last 30 years as being productive.

X is another man made chemical. The real stuff started out in a government funded laboratory just like LSD did, but due to prohibition, it too is corrupted and counterfeited and cut with God knows what.

Goes back to what I said about the natural stuff. If you need to get high, stick to the stuff God made. Not the shit that comes from a test tube.

Yeah, I remember going to some clubs in Portland where the girls were clearly tripping on Planet X. Of course that's when my friends have the brilliant idea of going to the strip joint.

Not that strip joints are bad in and of themselves, but why limit yourself to "look but don't touch" when better alternatives are possible.

I'm not, but if I was I could just jump on the "batshit crazy" bandwagon, pretend to have re-located Jesus* and denounce it, and I'll WIN BY A LANDSLIDE judging by current events...

Of course the teabaggers would never shut up about His birth certificate, so He probably won't bother.

[hambon4lif]

His healthcare plan would be second to none, plus it would be impossible for him to rape your wallet with those huge holes in his hands.

I never got paying money to get blue balled. That's what a lap dance is. I got more quality lays by just doing my thing than persuing pussy in bars. All those bar pickups seemed to have issues.
