    Divide and conquer the dumbed down masses with political gay marriage bickering so they don't notice that they're being anally raped 24/7 by the Federal Reserve Cartel.

    oh absolutely! i mean...i RARELY meet someone in "real life" who is against the idea of gay marriage. some may not agree with it as a practice, but they wouldn't treat someone BADLY for being gay and married either. they are TRYING to divide us like boobs.

    It is interesting that so many Americans are incarcerated. I can't help but think it has something to do with the fact that so many prisons are privatised. It's big business and it's good business for regions that would otherwise be struggling. So build prisons and make unreasonable laws and increase sentences to ensure they all remain full to overflowing. Big money involved.

    You'd be surprised how much we probably agree upon. I just don't believe in fairytales about gods!

    That argument has been had throughout the world and in most countries, that don't have too much religious influence over the government, it has been decided that legalised abortion is far better than the alternative. It's not like there's a shortage of humans on this planet is there and we already have issues with feeding them all and there's already been massive damage to the planet in supporting the lifestyles of those of us in 1st world countries. Why would we want to implement policies that mean more people are born? Especially if the parents don't want them?

    Not sure what the numbers are now, but when I was conducting research into pot and it's effects, both positive and negative on society, I was a bit shocked to learn that according to the 2009 FBI's crime statistics website, a whopping 53% of people in federal prisons were there for non-violent, marijuana related "possession" crimes.

    omg..53 percent?! no WONDER they won't legalize it...they like to harp on the statistics of how much it costs to keep a prisoner in prison, but they wouldn't put so many people in prison if they werent somehow getting money out of it. it's a BUSINESS, just as CHURCHES are the business of Bible study (and im a Christian)

    Yeah, I think it's something like $60,000 per prisoner, per year, but don't quote me on that. At least it's fully legal in Colorado now. ;)
