Comment Re:Obama's too conservative (Score 1) 688

Obama's simply too conservative to sign a bill like this. He should, but he won't. The fact that marijuana is 100% safe isn't enough to sway the screaming, mindless Christians, and Obama needs at least some of their votes.
Why not? Osbama probably smokes doobies and blunts in the WH. He admits to having done so in the past. Oh, and no need to attack any particular religious group - it's over the top and unacceptable. There are plenty of agnostics who feel that maryjane has no place in legal society.

TAGES...a total suckfest. Started getting weird unsigned driver errors in Win 7...after some digging discovered it was TAGES. WTF...mass market and can't even comply with OS vendor requirements? And while undocumented, the assholes at TAGES had a Win64 patch. Now, if only they'd fix the crash problems in Witcher2.

Just how is PFC Manning a patriot? He violated orders and regulations, and he allegedly divulged classified materiel to which he had no need to know, nor right to access. If he was working in Baghdad he had no reason to be downloading shit about Afghanistan. He put the lives of many good people (and some bad) in jeopardy. Perhaps we should refer to him as an alleged patriot and alleged traitor, alleged moniker to remain until he sees his day in court. Meanwhile, the idiots who couldn't deploy access controls to prevent bulk downloading ought to be held as accountable as he should be.

Really unlikely. For one, Iran doesn't want war.

Really? Their wacko PM calls for the destruction of Israel and the coming of the Mahdi, which according the Shi'a lore can only happen and the end of days (or whatever armageddon is called). Rank-and-file Persians might not war, but it seems the official policy of the government is one of bellicosity. Meanwhile, they are engaged in an apparent proxy war against the US et al in Iraq and Afghanistan, and appear to be the puppetmasters behind Hezbollah in rocket attacks against Israel.
