fathom Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) I don't believe this to be true, but I will say, and it goes along great with this thread, that Hedi and Spencer are really genesis, and it goes over the head of too many people in Hollywood. What they have done with their 15 minutes has been incredible. Yes, he's a great "bad guy". He knows how to push everyone's button. The reason "The Hills" is a great program to watch is that it's a great conversation with the right out of college girls at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 03:08 PM) Prisons and jails should use the inmates for labor and jobs more than they do. I use to believe that until I realized the criminals would be taking jobs from law abiding citizens. That troubles me. A friend of mine lost a nice contract for assembling electronic parts when a prison opened up a small assembly shop to train the inmates and have them pay for some of their costs. He had to lay off four assembly people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Pot, Coke (in a pill form) and morphine should be available for recreational use. Prostitution should be legal through licensed whorehouses online gambling should be legal in all states betting on sports through Casinos should be in all states No mandatory retrials for death row inmates. Death row inmates cannot be single murderers or mentally handicapped No peer juries for rape, murder, or aggravated assult cases. Juries are made up of expert witness or three judges. Implement immediate death sentences (firing squad two weeks after conviction) Accidental deaths from a gang = immediate death sentence Convicted of two or more separate murders (i.e, not two deaths at one place, but 1 death at multiple places) = immediate death sentence Corruption in the police force = minimum 10 year felony sentence Corruption in the judicial system = minimum 5 year felony sentence Free hysterectomies, abortions, and vasectomies for lower middle class and below citizens.

MHizzle85 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Marijuana should be legalized & taxed. There's no way someone should be in jail longer for 1 gram of crack cocaine than someone who's in for 1 gram of straight cocaine. The pledge of allegiance doesn't need to be said before the school day starts. The DH should be in both the AL & NL. People place animals way too high in our society. Whenever a cop exercises excessive force, they should recieve the same excessive force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever a cop exercises excessive force, they should recieve the same excessive force. I've seen this mentioned before somewhere else, but crack is actually probably a more dangerous drug. I believe crack is cheaper and more accessible, and it gets people higher faster as well as stronger effects. But I kind of agree with you. I think all offenses for all drugs outside of weed should have the same punishment time, depending on the severity. ______________________________________________________________________________ I agree with making Pot legal. If you want to smoke it, go nuts, I don't care. Might as well make money off of it. There should only be one tax and it should just be a sales tax that cannot get higher than a certain percentage. Fix the welfare system. I understand there are hard working, decent people out there who need the welfare check, but then you got the people who buy new cars, etc. and abuse the system. Something needs to be done and it can't be as easily accessible as it is now. Outlaw all 3rd term abortions unless it is for a legit medical reason. I agree with Lostfan about doing something like a mandatory hysterectomy if you've had 2 or more abortions. Outlaw eugenics. All child rapists should be put to death. All other rapists should be castrated and get a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years. No judge can believe in a living constitution. Get rid of reverse racism, or what it is more commonly known as, affirmative action. Disband ACORN and community organizer groups like it. Make it mandatory for anyone running for President to have had military service. After all, they are the commander and chief. That's all I got for now.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) No God Bless America at sporting events, because I find the song itself to be arrogant and certainly don't want to hear it at the game. DH in both leagues. I'm tired of watching the NL suck year after year because they are behind the times. Not only do I think the first DUI conviction a person gets should result in a year in jail, I think it should result in a 5 year loss of your licence. DUI is the most underpunished crime in this country. Along those same lines, a general thought I have is that I have no sympathy for anybody who has something bad happen to them as a result of being drunk or on drugs. If you're stupid enough to get that wasted, you deserve the consequences. I can honestly say as a completely straight male that I don't find Gisele to be attractive at all, and I generally have a think for latina women too. The American justice system may be the best in the world, but it still sucks and needs to be fixed/changed.

dasox24 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) So I just had a pretty hateful statement written until I realized I'm drunk as s*** and don't need to be posting right now. But, it had to do with you National Anthem/God Bless America haters... And believe me, it wasn't nice. I don't know how anyone could hate those songs. We're f***ing Americans. Why wouldn't you want to hear it??? Oh, and they're needs to be levels to DUI convictions. Like, being one beer over the limit is not at all the same as being 10 beers over the limit. But, apparently it's the same according to the court system here. I had 8 beers in 6 hours tonight and drove home fine, but according to the law, I'm pretty sure I would have blown over a .08, which means I legally drove drunk tonight even though I was fine.

I have no problem with the National Anthem before the game, I like it and find it to be a proper respect to play it before the games as a reminder why we are able to enjoy such freedoms as a sporting event.
