The arguments presented are not propaganda. The arguments anti-marijuana posters have made are all propaganda based.

Our battle is making substantial progress over the past few years. It will only make more. This is not a question of "if" marijuana will become legal, it is "when". As soon as the US government stops brainwashing children concerning marijuana, the sooner we won''t have to deal with arguments from those that know nothing of the subject at hand.

I''m sorry if this comes off as condescending, but it is frustrating to have to constantly refute the most simple, and forgive me, idiotic arguments. Every point raised against marijuana on is a complete joke, and hypocritical considering the legal state of alcohol and tobacco.

The information is out there. You can easily find incredibly solid, numerously repeated scientific data. Yet, naysayers insist that while we have appeased every question they had, we have yet to yield an answer as to the greater good. From what I can see:

* It''s estimated by a team of 500 economists, including Nobel laureate Milton Friedman who advised Nixon and Reagan, that taxing marijuana like alcohol and cigarettes could bring in $6.2 billion annually.

* Job creation: farming, packaging, distribution, and of course, marketing--it''s going to be a crowded playing field.

* According to those 500 economists, in an open letter to ''the President, Congress, Governors, and State Legislatures'', legalizing marijuana would save $7.7 billion in state and federal spending a year.

* The criminals who sell drugs can be caught for not paying their taxes. (It''s how they finally nabbed Al Capone).

* Legalizing it would create government jobs in the F.D.A. to ensure quality.

Have you not noticed the trolls on the site recently?

They make ridiculous statements to get a rise, and then sit back and enjoy the wave of responses. Are you guys really that easy to egg on? I hate that having a liberal social ideology clumps me with those attempting to counter someone for ridding America of Atheists under the principles of the constitution.

Really, guys? Did a it look like a battle worth fighting? That letter is all over the internet. Its just disappointing.

Mr. John "I have so many homes I can''t tell you how many there are" McCain flew to Washington to vote to pass a bailout of more than $700 Billion in Taxpayer Dollars to Wall Street banksters, but a bill to fix our crumbling infrastructure and create hundreds of thousands of US jobs is generational theft.

When George W. Bush took office (and McCain bragged to Tim Russert that he voted for Bush twice and did everything he could to get him elected) there was a $236 billion budget surplus with a projected $5.6 trillion surplus for the ten years following.

Bush turned the biggest surplus in US history into year after year of record deficits adding trillions of dollars to the national debt and destroying the economy. McCain now complains about generational theft. What a hypocrite...

I''m tired of having to deal with brown water!

I''ve been conserving water like we''re all supposed to during the drought. I''ve been careful. I think I can take one real bath instead of a shower without hurting things to much.

But I can''t because the water turns brown before the tub gets enough water in it. Why is it supposed to be OK that this happens? Is it so hard to get clear water in this city?

Fuck off! You live in Athens, Ga! You are not a legend cause you played at the forty watt or the f***ing georgia theater. Shut up, and get me my big mac, fries and a large glass of f*** you.

So here it is. You made me really like you. You asked me to spend the night all the time. You told me I was "an awesome girl" and said that you "liked me a lot." So after all of this, why couldn''t you throw me a freaking line and let me know you weren''t into me anymore? Why do some guys think it is their God-given right to just blow girls off? I seriously don''t get it. I liked you a lot. I really, really did. Why couldn''t you have called me, texted me, facebooked me, or even sent me a freaking E-MAIL to let me know what I did and why you didn''t want to see me anymore. Just breaking off contact is not cool. You have reinforced my opinion on Fratties. Thank you so much! I have finally realized which ones to watch out for...and yes you are included in that category! You are not God''s gift to women. You are not the hottest f''ing guy on Milledge Avenue. Actually, you''re really not even that hot... You''re a "personality" kind of guy... Oh wait, that''s sh** too. Nevermind. You actually have nothing going for you. I wish I would have listened to the people that told me that.

But I write this not to hate against guys in Fraternities. I think they''re great. I''m not just a stupid girl like most of the people who will post on this think. I write this to express my gratitude to the guy that royally screwed me over.

So thank you, a**hole. This new semester is better than I ever thought it would be. I have the most confidence that I have ever had and I feel good about myself for the first time in a long time. Looking back on it, I realize that I am better than you and I do deserve better. And now I know the quality of guy that I want...

And it''s definitely not a dried-out, akward, and chubby "southern boy" wanna-be like you.

Nice work!

am i right?? this nasty a** man needs to be exiled for unpatriotic behavior and scandalous comments. he wants obama to fail = he wants you to lose your job and the country to succumb to china.

Start lending - like you''re supposed to doing - and do your part to get this economy going. You are the sole reason we''re in this mess. Quit renovating offices, giving fat bonuses and generally squandering the money THAT WE GAVE TO YOU to save your sorry asses.

Unbelievable!

The D.J. at the Loft is ruining it for guys like me who manage to pull a attractive woman away from her clique and get her to the dance floor. He''ll play a couple decent rnb songs and get you in the mood, then he comes outta nowhere with some friggin Papa Roach some other crap, completely ruining your chances of further interaction (dancin, gettin digits, etc). Why hasnt anyone fired this bastard yet? I will under no circumstance go there again.
