    Now people smoke weed at their house, and dumbass inner city people now smoke crack on downtown street corners. Obviously we are winning the "war on drugs".

    I specifically said "downtown", meaning between offices and county buildings. The "professional" district if you will. People used to smoke weed there, no one smokes crack there.

    Name me 2 things wrong with getting high besides its illegal.

    It depends on the drug in question.

    Well said. Being a Republican Bush supporter myself, I must agree that if Jesus were here, he wouldn't support either party, let alone run on either ticket.

    As far as physical confrontation, didn't Jesus throw all the tables and tents of the marketers out of the Temple? I think that's pretty physical and in-your-face. At least he would agree with us on the issue of spammers. :-)

    I'm sorry, usually I don't complain about my moderations, but this is stupid. The parent remains at plus 3 for mocking peace martyrs. Doesn't anyone have any class around here?
