And HRH - thanks for the graphs. Proof that we already live in a police state.

The comparison graph of blacks imprisoned in South Africa during Apartheid and the USA today ought to make every liberal hang their head and turn red with shame for ignoring such an immense injustice.

It really does make Thrasher's point for him.

White liberals don't really give a damn about blacks. Why in the hell blacks continue to vote Democratic I have not a clue, they really ought to be out protesting and marching in the streets until some remedy for the injustice is achieved.

The fact I take so much abuse here makes it as pellucidly transparent as intergalactic vacuum that white liberals don't want to have their noses rubbed in their failure to stand up for the oppressed.

Seriously

You are about to be dropped into the middle of the wilderness miles from civilization and other human beings.

What *exactly* is the point?

Projection, thy name is LWM..

Manson.

Helter Skelter.

You are one fucked up dude.

Manson wanted to start a race war to kill the blacks..

I want to free them.

You have absolutely no rational response to what I say since you know it is true so you resort to ridiculous insults.

Show me where the liberals are standing up to say that what is going on in our country is far worse than Apartheid?

Explain away this chart.

OJ

You mentioned OJ. Was he black? I'm not sure because the CW is that he got away with murder - of a couple of white people, no less.

And he got away with it because the police and the prosecution both botched their jobs so horribly they should have been fired on the spot..

OJ had a good legal defense team that torpedoed the prosecution case so far below the waterline that it could have been the Thresher.

Something the police and prosecutor's office rarely has to contend with.

Which is why they lose so many cases when the accused has a good defense.

That's two clues/hints I've given you.

Why should I answer a question from someone so cowardly that they will not even use a handle? Of which they can have a multitude if they wish.

Your question is absolutely meaningless in the context of politics, which is what this board is all about.

Oops, you're right.. It's been a long time..

Now, please address the rest of my post..

The fact I take so much abuse here makes it as pellucidly transparent as intergalactic vacuum that white liberals don't want to have their noses rubbed in their failure to stand up for the oppressed.

Use a handle, any handle

And I'll answer your question..

Cowards hide behind anonymity.

Sunday, January 6, 2008 11:38 AM

Funny that you did not name any..

There are plenty of reasons why human beings don't run around naked that have noothing whatsoever to do with, shame, guilt, morality, puritanism, decency or indecency or any other nonsensical hypothesis that our Little Socrates comes up with.

Use a handle and I will answer..

Until then you are just another coward.

Which drugs should not be legal?

It was over your assertion that all drugs should be legal.

If you think certain drugs should not be legal, then name them.

You do realize that if alcohol were illegal the only thing available would be bathtub gin, eh?

Furthermore..

Why are the nineteenth and twenty first amendments only thirteen years apart?

Amendments are very difficult to pass, there must have been some very powerful reasons that public opinion would swing so far so fast.

Ad Hominem..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject.

Ondelette..

Do you think the prisons are full to overflowing with black men because they are selling thalidomide?

Name me one issue that is more important than the fact that "The Land of the Free" has absolutely the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Your point about the dangers of illegal drugs is simply ludicrous.

Not drinking can be fatal.

The DT's

However, within six to 48 hours after not drinking, hallucinations may develop. These usually are visual hallucinations but they can also involve sounds and smells. They can last for a few hours up to weeks at a time.

Also within this time frame after quitting, convulsions or seizures can occur, which is the point at which alcohol withdrawal can become dangerous, if not medically treated. The symptoms may progress to delirium tremens (DT's) after three to five days without alcohol. The symptoms of DT's include profound confusion, disorientation, hallucinations, hyperactivity, and extreme cardiovascular disturbances.

Once DT's begin, there is no known medical treatment to stop them. Grand mal seizures, heart attacks and stroke can occur during the DT's, all of which can be fatal.

Barbiturate withdrawal is very similar to ethanol withdrawal. Barbiturates and ethanol share similar withdrawal characteristics. Like ethanol, barbiturate withdrawal may be refractory to benzodiazepine therapy, autonomic disturbances, and seizures.

People do not go to jail for dealing alcohol.

Selling alcohol to minors results in a license being revoked or suspended.
