    Isn't a better example the age limit on alcohol, states are free to put any age limit they want but the federal government wouldn't give them more than X funding if their limit wasn't 21.

    Theyd make that illegal on the grounds you could hurt yourself if you grow a poisonous strain AND it would make no difference because home brewing and/or distilling doesn't prevent the alcohol industry being profitable.

  11. Re:I wouldn't hold my breath on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    Wait, trying to bring science into this argument?
    The science doesn't favor keeping weed or ecstasy illegal while the more dangerous alcohol is legal.

    TBH i think even assuming that the benefit of the majority should allow restriction on people, something that many Americans aren't a fan of, the drugs should be analyzed on the damage that your likely to cause to OTHERS when taking them. Under that system something like weed would be fairly unrestricted (less so than beer), however that system would probably impose some fairly heft restrictions on cocaine, but which one is acceptable in political circles again?

    A sensible discussion of drug prohibition is long over due, fortunately (in the UK anyway) the reality is far ahead of the law.

    As a side note, drugs like ecstasy should probably get you a tax rebate, as people as (even if wierd as hell) much less likely to cause trouble when gurning their faces off.

    The only problem with that, is that virgin is the only cable ISP here. The alternatives (such as Be) require you to have a phone-line and its £120 (about 8mths broadband) to be reconnected, so as long as virgin keep their prices just below line rental + isp charges, they will get plenty of customers

    I predicted it! Just yesterday I said it's only a matter of time until wikipedia get filtered by the Australian. Well I was off by about 10,000 miles but I was right that SOME government would eventually filter wikipedia & suppress freedom of knowledge.

    wow, predicting stuff is somewhat more impressive if you do it before it happens. Virgin was already doing this on Friday morning.

    The thing is with Opera being known for its standards compliance, I'd guess it has got there through continuous improvement and no just drinking kool aid like certain web(kit) rendering engnines. Personally i use firefox and am happy that minefield passes css3 test suites (well one anyway) before acid3 (that should come naturally when the standard is properly implemented). Ofc its a shame it still fails at css2.1
