execution for drug trafficking really very extreme Check out what they're doing in the Philippines. If you think of using or selling drugs in a Muslim, Communist or East Asian country you should expect to have a very short lifespan. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...ars-ground.html i read that the other day very extreme laws but like i said earlier the people being executed are foreigners its stupidity dealing drugs in countries like this they should know the laws of the country they are in like those Australians who got executed last year and they went nuts i had no sympathy these guys were in the Philippians dealing they should have known the laws for getting caught dealing drugs. These countries still have drug problems Afghanistan a muslim country most of the farmers grow heroin. Philippians even with the execution laws have a big drug problem north korea is rumored to aswell. And the countries which lack this problem are normally countries which have bigger problems eg Syria Iraq Libyia Going of topic here but Communism does not really exist anymore only real communist countries that exist are Cuba and North Korea. North Korea is said to have a massive drug problem but then again could be propaganda truth is we have no idea what is going on in that nut house

Figure of speech
So I smoke sometimes I know full well the risk I am taking so the "damage" is my choice, though I appreciate your concerns for my overall health (joking). I think we would all agree that drinking or using drugs and getting behind the wheel is dangerous and those laws are good and I believe should be stricter but individuals can make a choice to make responsible decisions when deciding to drink, whether it is always having a DD, not drinking when you work have work in the morning or not drinking in excess, you (not you personal) shouldn't tell them what they can't especially if they are sitting on the couch at home.
I feel the same about all drugs and for the record I don't use any drugs so I don't have anything to gain from legalization. But in the last 3-4 years 3 people I know have died from heroin, putting poison in their body was a choice they made and I am sad and feel sorry for their families but they chose to do that knowing the consequences. Making things illegal doesn't stop the it from being used. I don't think people should be shooting up or smoking crack in the street but if someone is at home doing that and not on driving then I don't have a problem.

A federal appeals court on Friday struck down North Carolina’s requirement that voters show identification before casting ballots and reinstated an additional week of early voting. The decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit was an overwhelming victory for the Justice Department and civil rights groups that argued the voting law was designed to dampen the growing political clout of African American voters, who participated in record numbers in elections in 2008 and 2012. “We can only conclude that the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the challenged provisions of the law with discriminatory intent,” Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote for the panel. The challenge to North Carolina’s law is one of several cases throughout the country seeking to eliminate strict voting rules in place for the first time in the November presidential contest. The finding of discriminatory intent makes this a big deal. They were caught red-handed trying to suppress black voters. And not in the general way we know these are voter suppression efforts. They commissioned a study on black voting behavior, then immediately crafted a policy surgically designed to suppress the type of behavior the study found. It's Jim Crow redux. The overall goal was to suppress Democrat voters and blacks were only targeted because they vote overwhelming Democrat. There were other measures narrowly focused on other high Democrat demographics. Again, we all know this, but the decision lays out how bloody obvious it was in painful detail.

You're always talking about your brother, your friend's brother, etc, people that smoke pot, I guess. I do think you have an obsession with being around cool people, trying to seem cool, while objecting to so much behavior that cool people engage in, like smoking weed. Just find it interesting, that's all. It's like someone that hates rap having a picture of Jay Z in their profile pic. Maybe it explains Republicans using rock and roll songs in their campaigns, despite the pleas from the artists for them to stop. I guess wanting to be cool is a trait of modern day conservatism.

I don't care what race you are, EVERYONE should have some kind of ID when they vote. Hell, you need an ID for so many things. Anyone who doesn't think people should present ID to vote is up to something. Too much risk for fraud, which should concern any honest person. And spare me the excuse about it being too much of a burden on poor minorities. If you're too stupid or inept to get an ID, you shouldn't be voting in the first place. Period.

So if you smoke pot you are automatically "cool" what are you a middle schooler? Grow up. I don't object to smoking pot I don't do it anymore maybe because I am at an age where I don't see a point to smoking or hang out with cool people. You aren't the first person to take personal shots at me during a political discussion, didn't bother me before doesn't know just shows your lack of intelligence. Not a conservative but thanks for trying

And spare me the excuse about it being too much of a burden on poor minorities. If you're too stupid or inept to get an ID, you shouldn't be voting in the first place. Period. The North Carolina finding is more specific, though. For example, they commissioned a study on when black people tend to vote. They discovered there is a spike in early black voter turnout when traditional black Churches do a "souls to the polls" event. So, right after that finding came back, the voter bill was amended to carve out that week out of the early voting time. That's straight racial targeting. What makes this partcular case so special is how the legislators were blatantly caught thinking of and then executing ways to to suppress the vote of black people specifically. It's worth reading what they found because it is so egregious. It's so rare that you catch systemic racism this overt.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/02/asia/north-korea-missile/index.htmlNorth Korea is without a doubt one of the most fucked up countrys in the world its broke 50% of its economy goes to its nuclear programmer watched a documentary on them recently very strange country. Apart from the capital which is rich the rest of the country is in real poverty its people barley surviving in the 90s loads of them starved UN has to realize that these sanctions mean zero to North Korea they import very little and what they do comes from China who just ignore the sanctions a day after all these "big" sanctions some reporters went to the Chinese border in North Korea the same stuff which were supposed to be banned where getting traded in front of them. Most people in the north probably dont even know they have sanctions on them they have no internet. China know they are a fucked up county they dont even like them anymore they have been critical of the kims but they support them because they dont want regime collapsing and then have to deal with mass immigration from the north, plus could see a unified Korea which would be bad for China as the South is controlled by US they dont want the US at there borders and it would the Chinese economy and we all know how much they love there money

Did we actually make it an entire week without a catastrophic attack? I stopped keeping track. This has just happened very close to a school where my brother used to work. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...ife-attack-live
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

The U.S. economy added 255,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate remained at 4.9%. It far surpassed expectations of economists surveyed by CNNMoney, who had predicted a gain of 182,000 jobs.
"Employment growth remains strong," says Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, a research firm. So far this year, America has added about 1.3 million jobs. That's a healthy improvement but still a slightly slower pace than last year, when it had gained about 1.6 million jobs by this point. Job gains for May and June were revised up a bit too.

Full time jobs or part time jobs. People need to take whatever they can get. Beggars can't be choosers. What is this, people are just going to stay home and live with mom until somebody offers them a 75k/year job with a window office? Agreed. The people of California should truly get this message...fucking lazy liberals out there now celebrating Muslim month in August. I wish that state would just slip through the cracks of the San Andreas fault line and into oblivion. It's truly sad what Californians are going through daily out there. English has become a second language, border jumpers finding asylum daily, being forced to honor Muslims in August (lmao), fake tits, nose jobs, butt implants, unaffordable housing, transgenders coming out of the woodwork, men going down on other men on public park benches to name a few.

A part time job is not the same as a full time job kid. It a misleading economy to say jobs grew when it is part time jobs
