  • Frankly, my dear,

    [Read the article: The ADL purports to respond again]

    Compare and contrast:

    1942:

    Germany should be wiped off the map.

    The Nazi regime currently occupying Germany must be wiped from the pages of time.

    Do you begin to see the difference yet?

    Well, maybe you don't.

    I just hope that people around the world do not confuse the republicans and the democrats with America and Americans.

    Just Say No to DRUGS!!!!

    And don't forget to take your happy pills everyday!

    Paid for by the partnership for a drug-free america paid for by the american pharmaceutical manufacturers paid for by millions and millions of people addicted to dangerous mind altering drugs approved by the FDA.

    If they could patent THC they would.

    Ooops, George H.W. Bush already did.

    The pills are legal but the plant isn't.

    You folks are clearly stupid enough to believe anything the war on drugs has to say so this response is pointless.

    When you smoke pot at least you know that you are impaired. People on medication generally do not.

    Ever take an allergy pill, decongestant, cold medicine, ppa, advil, ambien, ibuprofen and drive? Then you were far more impaired then your average pot smoker. The little piece of paper says not to drive or operate heavy machinery when using the drug. (oh yeah, until you are used to the effects of the drugs - YEAH RIGHT!)

    Hear about the people on Ambien who get up in the middle of sleep do stuff and have no idea that they did it? They also drive.

    How about prescription medicine? Have you "Driving Stoned" TROLLS ever read the side effects of the medications that are commonly handed out like candy by Doctors eager to please thier drug reps? No, you people are far too stupid to do that.

    Most people have no idea how messed up the prescription drugs they take make them. If they did, they would stop taking them unless it was a life threatening situation.

    Tobacco and caffiene alter perception of time and do not improve your thought processes. You just think that they do because you are messed up. People who are wired and jittery are not better drivers. People who are suffering from caffiene or tobacco withdrawal are not paying full attention to whatever tasks they are attempting to perform including driving.

    Ever drive with low blood sugar? How about driving while under the influence of nutrasweet? Yes, it is a drug. Formaldahyde and methanol do not improve your driving ability one bit.

    Ever drive while using a cell phone?

    How about driving when you need to sleep?

    How about driving when you need to eat? Driving while eating? (Let's ban drive through windows at fast food chains)

    People read newspapers, magazines and maps while driving. They apply makeup while driving. People even shave while driving. Some people even watch TV while driving.

    People also drive while sick.

    All of the above cause accidents.

    BUT OH LOOK! Someone is driving STONED!!! How irresponsible!!!

    The advantage to being real stupid is that you never have to think about being real stupid because you are too stupid to realize that you are stupid.

    If you are that stupid, you probably should not be driving even if you are completely straight sober and undistracted.

  • Flouride

    Fluoride is highly toxic to the thyroid gland.

    Fluoride compounds are used as insecticides.

    Fluoride compounds are used as antidepressants.

    Any questions?

    search google - "fluoride thyroid toxicity"

    search google - "fluoride compound insecticide"

    search google - "fluoride compound antidepressants"

    Don't be surprised, phenothiazines and tricyclic antidepressants are derived from the phenothiazine insecticide.

    "IT'S A BUG SPRAY!"

    "NO, IT'S A TRANQUILIZER!"

    "HEY, IT'S A BUG SPRAY AND A TRANQUILIZER!"

    The "therapeutic effect" of the SSRIs is due to their toxic effects on the thyroid gland.

    That is why no one should trust the drug companies or the FDA. If a Doctor offers you any of these pills, you shouldn't trust them either.

    The problem allegedly "solved" by SSRIs can be aleviated by eating a wide variety of beans and some salmon and turkey every so often. Also avoid depressants and additives.

    lysine -> tryptophan - > serotonin

    No profit in that for the pHARMAceutical companies.
