This is so true and is the problem with the country! We loose more and more of our freedoms everyday. Next thing you know we will be a Communist nation "Oh wait we already are!"

I support the Bill of Rights if there still is one. The Patriot act and NAFTA has done nothing but killed this Great Nation we call home!

forgot some...

johnny takes a bag of weed to school, to get high after class with his buddies.

then....teachers find it, and give him a paddlin' and they take it so the teachers can get high after school.

now... johnny gets caught, fbi,cia,atf gets called, school on lockdown-parents are taken into custody at their work for total embarrassment, cops beg him to tell them who sold it to him, he does cause he is scared, drug dealer kills his parents to teach johnny a lesson.. child goes to juvy just to learn how to get more drugs, and sell them the "smart" way, gets out makes crime his life, kills lots of people, and gets kids hooked on crack.

i could of kept on going but u get the idea.

btw, i was caught with weed at school, 9th grade, they had the cops, atf, an two detectives waiting for me in a room, i had no idea till i walked in. i didnt nark on no one, which they hated. then my house was raided by the FBI and Swat, almost shot cause i had a cell phone in my hand, talking on it, an it was dark "drop the gun!! drop the gun!!!" me; "WTF?! What fucking gun?! the gun i just stand around outside of my house at night pointed at my head, laughing an talking to myself? "...blah.

Sorry to violate the no politics rule. I thought that this was some what of the nature of this post. If you feel it to be necessary you may delete my post to satisfy the powers at bay.

That cuts out so much intellectual chit chat... Its the unintelligent "know-it-alls" that have caused the rule....

It's one reason i don't come around to often... but then again what is this forum really for?

You'd think because this is the off-topic section it'd be allowed... I can only hope that some real convo's will be allowed to start.

Or can I be admin of a new political section?!
