You know, though, Libya (Khaddafi) suddenly got a whooooole lot more reasonable during the dubya administration. A lot of opposition states did.[DOUBLEPOST=1470962750,1470962719][/DOUBLEPOST]
And that's why our defense budget is huge and yet we keep losing wars.
How do we get Russia, China, North Korea, and others to subscribe to this model?
Gee, it's almost like fighting a terrorist ideology with a loose command hierarchy and limited reliance on infrastructure hiding among foreign populations is a whole different affair than fighting the uniformed armies of nation-states.
Can't forget the ever shifting victory *goals*. Does wonders for morale.
And the lack of exit strategy.
I assume you're referring to this: http://nypost.com/2016/08/10/malia-obama-appears-to-be-smoking-pot-at-lollapalooza/
Trump's rhetoric is catching on
There are a lot of inmates who would disagree with that.
From what I read it's "decriminalized" there, which is not the same as legal.
Nobody cares about pot, but they care about get-out-of-jail-free cards for the elite. The specific activity doesn't matter, what matters is that when you or I do (x) we go to jail and our life is ruined, but when Malia (or Hillary) does (x) they get a pass.
Oh? And how many people at that outdoor concert were arrested for pot? Or was Malia the only one that wasn't? Oh, you mean nobody was? So again much ado about nothing.
You're being intentionally obtuse and obstreperous, and you know that doesn't work with me. You know quite well that the activities of the children of politicians often fall under closer scrutiny because they're used against the political careers of their parents, for one. (As an aside, if this had been, for example, Ted Cruz's daughter, you know it would have been a huge deal.) Furthermore, the fact that nobody allegedly was arrested (we don't know if, in fact, anybody was arrested there or not) does not make it any less against the letter of the law that the administration has chosen to continue to uphold, despite all evidence and public opinion about marijuana, and if there is footage of the act, police could act on it. There's a reason, for example, that motorheads blur out their speedometers in their youtube videos. But, of course, the police will make the deliberate decision not to act on it, because Malia's last name is Obama, and laws don't apply to rich people and especially not to democrats.
Jeez, who pissed in you guys' cheerios today? Why's it so difficult lately to have a civil discourse around here? Overdefensive much, perhaps?
I've been to several over the course of my centuries on earth and the most I've ever seen was a guard tell a dude to put it out. Now, if the guy is belligerent, it's a different story. Like the Naked Wizard from days gone by. When the cops give you a break you're wise to take it and not argue.
Oh... the rare Libertarian yard sign. I'm actually a little jealous.
And the only accepted one for meth is - and I'm not kidding - appetite suppression.
