The problem with legalizing marijuana now is that we have millions of people in prison who were made criminals under the current draconian drug laws and the prison-for-profit led enforcement of those laws. If marijuana were legalized we would be compelled to release millions of people from prison who are NOW trained to be criminals. The crime rate would rise, and legal marijuana would be blamed. So the answer, of course, is not legalize marijuana, pass even stricter laws, and build many more prisons all run by for-profit corporations! We have a depression on, you know. We could hire lots of police and prison guards!
>To some extent, yes. >and sugar. >And Diet Coke. >And Krispy Kreme donuts. >You have to draw the line somewhere; I'm not sure it's correctly drawn right now.
I have drawn that line. I don't drink soda, don't eat donuts, don't eat many sweets at all. I eat mostly organic. My meat and dairy comes straight off a free range organic farm. However, I'm not against a single glass of wine or a single joint (pot). It's all in the balance and moderation. But I am aware of the damage excessive sugar, caffeine, and alcohol can do to me long term.
If you watch the beginning of the film where they are putting 'Ah-nold' under for the memory implant you can see some things on the screen that nobody could possible know about if the entire movie actually happens. For example the technician says 'blue skies on mars... thats new'. The movie ends with blue skies on mars. The screen behind the tech has an image of the TOTALLY SECRET UNKNOWN TO ANYONE ancient Martian atmosphere generating machine.

You didn't get the point of the movie. There were no ancient reactors. He never even went to Mars. It was all a simulation pumped into his brain. All you need to know to understand the movie is shown in the first 10 minutes.
The original story was titled 'We Can Remember It For You Wholesale'.

I'm pretty sure Tom Cruise was already 'benefitting financially' before Scientology. I'm sure Scientology gets more financially from Tom Cruise directly and from his association with them than he gets from them.
I don't think you can apply the term 'cynical opportunist' to someone who makes many millions of dollars already and doesn't collect a paycheck from Scientology. Maybe 'stupid opportunist'.
I see, so a user would try to download, for example, "hot pre-teen sex lolita underage illegal.jpg" and instead get this image.

Who is going to set them aside and give them these "advanced studies" you speak of? Not anyone at a public school. It's not covered by 'NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND'.
This fits with the American ideal of granting corporations "personhood". It makes it easy to avoid blame when things go wrong.
The company did it. Nobody in particular did it, just the company did it. The government did it. Nobody in particular did anything wrong, just the government did it.

You actually think any of Tom Cruise's recent publicity has HELPED his career?!
He isn't exactly on speed dial with producers right now...

Thanks.
I just tried your example and stuffed my finger in my nostril. Now my coworkers won't go near me.
