Comment Re:Not that surprising from Belarus (Score 1) 111

Belarus avoided the collapse that plagued all other former Soviet republics (including Russia) by keeping its system intact and has a higher standard of living than the others because of it.

What the fuck have you been smoking? No, I don't want any.
They have the one of the lowest standard of living, only places like Moldova can compete. I'm from Estonia. We had our collapse and built a better system. Belarus wasn't doing that good in the 90s either, but they haven't really made any progress either. My friends who have visited say that the country is an alternate universe where the USSR never collapsed.

What were the civilian casualties on the Death Stars? Also, the whole thing would be pretty interesting through the Empires point of view. Yeah, they blew up Alderaan, but what exactly made the Empire evil? Mind, that I've only seen the trilogy and don't know anything about the extended universe.

If pot were legalized then I would agree with you, but medicinal marijuana != legalized marijuana.

Medical marijuana is exactly that - legalized marijuana. It's regulated and taxed. That's the idea behind legalization. It doesn't necessarily mean that you can grow it, carry it and smoke it when ever you want to. In Netherlands, for example, marijuana isn't legalized. It's decriminalized and tolerated.
