The flipside is that if a girl I don't particularly like is interested in me, I can just tell them I work with computers and then they leave me alone.:D
Dave, basically all of the negative behaviours you associate with drug users are consequences of prohibition rather than drug use itself.
Your friend is going to prison because she broke a law that only exists to enable the prohibition of drugs. She probably did it to pay for her habit, and the only reason the drugs cost more than a can of coke is because the prices are controlled by black market forces.
I'm guessing she is also feeling pretty isolated after everyone in her life that thinks like you has written her off because the thing she likes to do happens to be illegal at this time in your country. You sir, are a bad friend.
No, the point is that if you have a choice between a 35-40k acura and a 15-20k honda, you are comparing two different car models. A 35-40k acura is just a 35-40k honda with an acura badge.
They are not actively denying access, they are blocking the doors. Anyone that gets lucky and waits long enough will get the page served up, cos its Amazon.
Private businesses shut down Wikileaks sites because of extra-judicial pressure from governments. Those businesses should now consider themselves political actors and should not be at all surprised when actions are taken against them because of this fact. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Something like that anyway.
Own up to the fact that the United States is constantly at war, even if they haven't actually declared war since WWII. It's what you do. Yours truly, the rest of the world.

Don't have to be so derisive, Hairyfeet clearly sympathises with you he just hasn't taken it on board yet...
Socialism isn't a dirty word you know.

But, the end of the last ice age about 8,000 - 10,000 years ago would have inundated many coastal settlements at about the same time.
If it was my website I wouldn't have dropped wikileaks.
They didn't ask for it...
If that was the case, they wouldn't be selling ebooks of the leaked cables.

And that is what makes a protest effective...
Not sure if you've noticed, but Wikileaks has a lot on its plate at the moment.
Using the label terrorism for anything that doesn't strike terror into the population is not particularly effective either.
There is nothing clear-cut about whether wikileaks is in violation of any laws. Read more before saying stupid things please.
You can't leave the company if you have dependant children and a mortgage and car loans when unemployment is as high as it is.

Funny, in the rest of the world we are glad to see what we suspected all along is actually true.
Relatedly, nobody has been convicted of any crimes yet. All of this has been done on speculation and allegations.
Pity both sides stick to the manufactured talking points, apart from Jon Stewart.
And you stay anonymous, coward.
She thinks living in Alaska gives her foreign policy experience because its near Russia. She's a moron. Q.E.D.
Hunger = fat leaving your body. You're not going to die of hunger if you weigh 150kg and you have to go without a hamburger for two days.
Try Pictionary.
What are you doing going round invading nations though? That's a horrible pretense to develop any technology from.
