"Thatâ??s great, but he has zero chance of even getting the nomination."

If everybody thought like you(I'm not voting for him, he'll never get elected)we'll never see a change!!

Ok I just want to say something about the "No child left behind act"

This act is 100% bullshit. When I was in school this came around...

I am 25 now but it is complete bullshit...

When my brother was in 8th grade hes a senior now. he busted his ASS to make grades so mom wouldnt beat his ass but kids who dont bust their ass and FAIL get the good ole "No child left behind" and pushed onto the next grade without doing SHIT!

Kids should HAVE to PASS ALL their classes AND STATE TESTS till they can go on to the next grade...

And maybe parents would learn that beating their children is what they need sometimes (Not violent beating just the kind that teaches discipline)

I hope Ron Paul wins! I was eating at my favorite pizza place last night called Mellow Mushroom (wonderful pizza) and its kind of like a hippie place which is awesome! But anyways they have a vote for Ron Paul sign and so I thought I would just say that because I thought it was awesome.

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for LEGALIZATION! :thumbsup:

Yeah. The government will no longer regulate the economy, Federal power will be limited, Homeland Security will be gone, IRS will be gone, Taxes will go way down, Death Penalty will be gone, Commercial Space Trips, Marlboro Marijuana Joints, and free candy on Tuesdays. It isnâ??t gonna happen.

Oh and he isnâ??t in favor of legalization. He is in favor of letting states decided what to do instead of the government.

Thatâ??s great, but he has zero chance of even getting the nomination.

I'm sure there were many people like you saying "No way, they will hang for what they are doing, it will never work!", when our founding fathers decided to rebel and become free. It is also very foolish to only choose the most popular candidate, that type of weak voting can only elect a weak president.

I joined this forum just to reply to this thread. First off, I'd like to say that I am sincerely delighted to have an intelligent conversation with people who can form coherent sentences.

One of the largest myths being perpertrated by our Government is that cannabis kills brain cells. The majority of posters in this thread has just destroyed this myth. I believe that cannabis should be legalized. Absolutely. I honestly believe in the principles that Ron Paul has addressed. He makes alot of sense, and is actually an articulate, intelligent person unlike our current leader. I will be voting for him without a shadow of a doubt come November '08.

Currently, our economy is in a major slump. If you do not believe me, just go to XE.com and check for yourself. Compare the strength of the dollar today against the strength of the dollar from Jan 1, '99. We are currently in debt 9 trillion dollars... That's 9,000,000,000,000. Yes, 12 zeros. Most of this debt is to China and Saudi Arabia. This so called "War on Drugs" and "War on Terrorism" is majorly contributing to this ever-increasing national debt. If we reduce our government spending on needless things, our debt would be reduced drastically. How important is it that a professional basketball player is payed $100 Million dollars to play a sport, whereas our military servicemen and women are barely paid enough to support their families? Many of our servicemen and women collect food stamps and WIC. Did you all know that? Probably not. I personally know because I've served my Country and completed my military obligation to Her.

If cannabis is legalized, it would mean that hemp would also be legalized. There are numerous benefits to this happening. So what, if they tax cannabis? I would gladly pay a tax for something I believe in, and in turn would help reduce national debt. We currently pay taxes for tobacco, alcohol, cars, etc...

It would be wonderful if you could grow 5 plants legally like they currently do in the Netherlands. I would gladly pay $100 annually for a grower's license as someone has previously mentioned. I guess that's enough rambling from me, but before I go I'd like to say the choice is ours to make. Let's get our Country back to being a Democracy. Happy Veteran's Day, brothers and sisters.
