Not a bad post but you have to be lying to yourself if you dont think alcohol and cigarettes arent the first gateway. Almost everyone is exposed to it as a child, not everyone is exposed to weed or crack so what sparked their interest to smoke pot??

That is my whole point, if you want to do away with drugs then you are going to have to do way with alcohol. Then you might have to do away with chocolate cuz people get hooked on that shit too.

Face it, we are fucking lost.

Yep. Lost is a good word. I agree with that.

What sparks their interest? Simple. Being a teenager and growing up. Most kids are heavily influenced by what they see around them, be it family, friends, whatever. Peer pressure....

Do you think if pot is legal, more people will drive drunk and stoned?

I really doubt it. We already have draconian laws against drunk driving, which seems to have worked pretty well.

We need to get rid of criminal distribution of drugs, which is filling up prisons. Even more pressing is for Mexico to get rid of their drug cartels, which is making parts of the country ungovernable, and creating thousands of vicitims.

I don't know the exact formula for drug policy. We need to do things to discourage drug use.

We need the wisdom of Solomon. Legalizing harder drugs would be a disaster, but continuing as we are isn't helping in a lot of ways also. Americans likey their recreational drugs and it's impossible to stop 'em gettin' 'em.

This thread ain't about me. It is about all of you drugwar fighters who love drugs. I have to believe Harlan got dumped by a Mexican lover and started this thread out of spite.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Hah. I dumped you.

Winning!

I just watched a fascinating interview with a guy who wrote a book about Mexican ways. I realize I know nothing at all about Mexico. Here is a short clip on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNNGcjSqw2c

Mexicans are fiercely individualistic, much more so than Americans. They won't live in condos or apartments, everybody gotta have their own little casa, no matter how humble. They have the lowest level of associations and clubs in the world.

Another thing: Mexicans don't like competition where there are losers. They hold more guiness book of records entries than any other country in the world, this guy claims because Mexicans want to be able to win things without competition.

In parts of the interview not in the clip, the guy claims a lot of the Mexician character, especially the aversion to social organization, stems from a distrust of organizations born from being a conquered people. He says Mexico is totally different from say, Brazil because of this. You can see the whole interview here:

Anyway, as I was watching this show, I couldn't help thinking about the nutjob who runs this joint. Thought I'd share.

'' In parts of the interview not in the clip, the guy claims a lot of the Mexician character, especially the aversion to social organization, stems from a distrust of organizations'' HH

Ahhh seems like the mexicans and my forefathers ' the Irish ' have alot in common. The Irish it has seemed to me , in terms of history, will hire out to any country that will employ them for their feisty military skills. That's how my earliest Paternal ancestors arrived in Canada following the War of Independence. They were given large land grants in New Brunswick Canada. After America liberated fr. the British my ancestors were given an opportunity to re- establih in British North America as LOYALISTS to the British Flag. Funny how the Irish have been with Egland. Love em or hate em. It depends on whatever is going down that pleases the Irish or not. Pretty normal folk then...but feisty. (-:

Now back on topic and Mexico (Mexicans). Personally I have no opinion on any culture as I choose to be as open minded as possible.To understand not judge.

I need some help here.

I havn't seen the movie in it's entirety.Starring Tom Berenger, depicting the Irish military support for Mexico Vs America and the tragedy that ensued for those Irishmen that fought under the flag of Mexico. I aways get the tail end of that movie?... miss out on all the exciting action. I discover the movie at the end. The part where the surviving Irish ( Mexican recriuts ) are being led off to be executed by the American side after a large American victory over the Mexican side.

This movie depicts. One part of the Spanish American War ( Ithink?) and a part of Irish history in terms of just one country's flag it's soldiers campained under?

Question: The movie is entitled: Looking for that title...help anyone! Yikes !!! Tom Berenger has been in ' a whopping ' ..... 84 movies.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000297/

QUESTION: Where did the terms of expression: '' Never trust an Irishman '' ... come from? ...

Was it? .... as a result of the war between Scotland for it's independance fr. England? It's well illustrated in the awesome movie BRAVEHEART. When the Irish turn on the English just prior to a huge showdown. England Vs the Scottish Highland Warriors.
