So much for the liberal idea of Pro-choice. You can't buy a 17oz soft drink in NYC and even better only in 'selective' establishments.

I love this new direction America is headed in, totalitarian statist, cradle to grave overlords. Way to lead the way New York!

I quite like this Bryan Roberts fellow, thanks for the link!  I was worried at first when I saw the title, but that was thankfully short-lived.  Now if only more Christians would think this way (y'know, following that stuff we supposedly believe), maybe we wouldn't look like such asshats.

So if I was pro legalization of open season on pedophiles, would that make anyone who opposes that idea an intolerant fuck-wits?  There is a big difference between tolerance and just allowing everyone to do whatever the fuck they want......regardless of the consequences.  Its funny how people demand tolerance for anything they want to do, but do not extend that same "tolerance" for views they strongly disagree with.

Big Brother.. coming to your city soon.

Anyone want to guess how they'll enforce this one?  Wait, better yet, lets try to figure out how much it's gonna cost to try to enforce.  Awe who cares.. that's just more government jobs.

Less government, less laws, more freedom!

So...how about that Romney video where he digs a deep hole in front of a bunch of donors? I guess that's why politicians lie - speaking candidly is how you lose an election, at least with those views.

His only hope now is to bring up the Obama, "You didn't build that.. " quote to try to cover his own gaff.

But he then goes on Fox and says, "I think all Americans want to pay taxes.."  Really?!?  NO.. This american wants to pay zero to the government.  I want the government out of my way.  Of course.. Obama wants a larger government so again.. this election cycle it turns into a race not of who is the best person to be president but more who is the less of the two evils.

I will confess, my comment was brief and harsh, simply intended to reflect my distaste for the man without really explaining my position, while correlating it to the context of our community (video games) with the picture of Gabe.

Without going into too much detail: I support legalization of cannabis as both a medicine, as well as a recreational drug to be taxed and regulated much in the same way that alcohol currently is. I believe that cannabis is far less harmful to the consumer than alcohol, and the positive medical applications have been more than thoroughly proven. I believe that the ludicrous form of prohibition that we have still exists due to the underlying roots of industrialized functionalism that's been applied ad hoc to our values system for the last hundred years or so.

So, there's that. Apologies if I seemed like I was just lashing out or being lazy in my argument, but I honestly just don't like the guy, and I have thought-out reasons for it.

Then why do conservatives seem hell bent on putting government and regulation in the bedroom?

Cite an example please.

If you're an american and not doing anything to infringe on the freedom of other americans I really don't want to know what you're doing in bed.

When religion stays the hell away from politics, I'll die happy.
