Shit something you'll never forget. I think it made a huge impact on the world
but if you live and or grow up in new york it was just a wired time.
I don't think any one could understand

but um realy bush is a bad president becuase living around here ive seen stuff getting shittier and shittier my town dosen't have store no more the poor farmers keep on getting poor and the big farms keep getting larger and larger most poor people work full shifts around here. Bush Dosen't give a shit about you. And the fasciest elements in this country are out for blood.

damn... it's not as much a republican problem as a "fundamentalist" problem. I believe that God would have no problem with vaporizing marijuana. But there Bush goes, i guess he is the only person that knows what God wants done. I would have to say... i hate Utah (first anti-MJ laws) and I hate Bush's "fundamentalism" or theocracy... Iran is a theocracy and they just blow each other (and us) up... we need somebody like Bill... i'm republican, but dang, he did a good job. good economy, low taxes, everything was good with Bill and he "got some" on the side... what a player...

Is there any hope as public education gets worse, so called republicans have taken over the government, we are arresting canadians, i can see why everybody hates us... There needs to be a revolution or something. uh oh... now i'm gonna get arrested because of the Patriot Act because i might do something bad...

I think in this situation you should support the decisions your president makes because it is for the benefit of the country that we have a leader who appears strong. I know a lot of people in the marines and I do hate that their lives are risked everyday, but at the same time I am so proud to know such patriotic and courageous people. And I know there are probably a lot of liberals/democrats/Bush-haters/anti-Americans looking at this thread, and y'all can waste your words and try to prove me wrong, but I will never change my opinions.

the negativity is because people are sick too. they are sick because you kill for what you want, it doesn't matter who is in the white house(maybe you should try a native or black person) you have been killing for what you want since you got here. your government gave smallpox laden blankets to the people in winter, it is the same government.
bush is a moron controlled by big business, he has taken the price of oil from 15 dollars a barrel to over 60 dollars a barrel in less than 5 years, he is a liar and despot, your whole government is despotic and evil. if you want to support that, then you will die in ignorance and shame when you find out what your government has done and is doing. the blood of martyrs and saints covers your country, from sea to shinning sea.
"patriotism is the virtue of the violent" O.W.

Now i, being 17, cant vote, cant do much in the legal world, so yes when it comes time for me, i will stand up for my views, my ideas, and i will hope that if you seriously think something is wrong with our government, than you will get off the fucking computer, and start getting after the people in Washington. I think we have a great country, going through history, we have always had something against us, slavory, the restricting of the native americans, Most of all RACISM all kinds of prohibation.. ect. The only way things get changed, is if people stand up, and fight for what they bleive in, BE THE MARTIN LUTHER KINGS! THE MALCOM X'S, THE ABRAHAM LINCOLNS. Challenge the views of people, before you complain to your friend. complaining doesnt get you a damn thing other then people getting sick and tired of the shit you are saying. Challenge the thoughts of people, Express your views on the subject, Get people to understand, and blieve on whats going on, dont go on lies, dont go on anything but what you know. We are over in Iraq for a reason, and that reason, is to establish a firm solid country, so that the oil we purchas from them is cheaper, yeah we pay now, but in the future once things settle down, peace is found, things will be better in a whole. Start the revolution, make the government relaize whats going on, so i beleive, that i day where every pothead/stoner/toker/or anyone that blieves that marijuana should be legal, stand up, smoke openly, and fight the system, Marches, parades, Sitdown protests, anything you can think of, thats nonviolent, to get the message accrost. Violences doesnt do anything other then piss people off, so if you get arrested that day, so be it, take it and sit in jail,if all goes well, they will be too overcrowded, where they will have to do soemthing. the message will be sent acrost. Let everyone be the Rosa Parks, and not give up your pot smoking right to the government. So if your with me. Lets hear it, A day where we all protest, Starting April, 20th 2006, Going till whenever the bill passes. Spread the word, Let everyone know, the more people hear about this, the more it will impact the government. Thoughts be with you, and joints be free for all!

good post, a little idealistic but hell you are young and that is great, a lot of my friends are young and they do just fine. i am old, so close to dead, it rides my shoulder and whispers in my ear to enjoy what is here now. in my life i have done all i could think of to open eyes to the truth as i saw it. i have protested atomic power and the war in vietnam and received scars from night-sticks and fists, since i was 16 i have grown cannabis and now i show others how to grow naturally. i have protested and fought the government all my life, i called together all my friends and started the CCC in '98, now i am old my heart is weak, and can only sit, write and rail, as others jump the wall and stand up.
stand up for something, or you will fall for everything.

Live With Bush!!! We only have a couple of years left.

edit: Of Bush. George Bush. Unless Sr. gives it another run.

:rolleyes: This type of post is all over the various forums on the web. The thing I can never understand in the midst of the mud slinging is why no one ever embraces our differences and diversity. Yes, our Gov't is imperfect and corrupt, but can anyone show me one that is not? A governmental body is not in place to coddle the people it governs, it is in place to make sure it stays in place, period.

Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, whatever; you are still just a cog in the wheel. I can hear the indignant gasps already, so let me ask you this: How many of you have armed yourself and refused to pay taxes? After all, isn't that what started the revolution that made this country?

well the goverment needs to remember it dosen't grant freedoms but aknowledges them.
Also the people shouldn't fear the goverment the goverment should fear the people
