  1. A) It's prescription not perscription - but that's not really relevant to the argument B) Mushrooms are a fungus that grows out of the ground too and I'd think we'd all agree the effects of mushrooms are a danger to society. C) If you think that there hasn't been a car accident death or accident caused because someone was high, you're sadly mistaken. I don't smoke weed, but I've seen people high and it affects your response time. There's absolutely no chance in hell that there has NEVER been a case where an accident was caused because someone was high. The argument here isn't whether or not weed should be legalized. Personally I don't care either way, I really don't think it will change much. The point is under the current system where weed is illegal, tax payers should have the right to refuse to pay towards a program that awards law breakers. Drinking beer and smoking cigarettes are currently legal at the federal level. If marijuana was legal federally, I'd agree with everyone that it shouldn't be tested for before receiving welfare.
  2. Your argument is futile. If you are going to say the law didn't affect anyone, then why bitch about it?
  3. Do I believe weed is a terrible drug and hurts society? No. Do I believe heroin is a terrible drug and hurts society? Yes. If a cop pulls someone over for having weed in the car, do I think they should be arrested? No. If a cop pulls someone over for having heroin in the car, do I think they should be arrested? Yes. Do I believe that marijuana will be legalized in the next 10 years? Yes, probably. Do I believe it will change anything? No, people who smoke pot, will still smoke pot, they'll just be even more open about it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's currently illegal. And if you are going to arrest someone who is carrying heroin, then you need to arrest or punish those who carry other illegal drugs as well and taxpayers shouldn't have to pay to those who commit illegal crimes as the law stands today. Let me ask you this though... do you want your kids smoking pot when they get older?? If the answer is no, then why? By legalizing pot, you are still going to get those who smoke pot to continue, and will even invite those who possibly wouldn't have, to do it as well. So do you really want to invite your children and friend's children to smoke pot, when they may have possibly not decided to do it in the past? Also remember that weed is a gateway drug. Arguments could be made to the addictiveness of the drug, but statistics show that it leads to other drug use.
  4. Welfare is federally funded. Marijuana is still illegal federally. Therefore, they should be allowed to drug test and marijuana would be a fail and loss of welfare, especially here in OH. This actually was a decent point and I think it could be argued either way, but I'll stick with what I just said to refute. If you were looking at welfare for people in Colorado or Washington, now we're getting into a real tough situation. As for private employers, I believe it would be up the employer on how they would want to handle this specific situation and employees and potential new hires would adhere to the policies of that specific company.
  5. And I'm all for everyone's rights as well, You can do whatever you please to your body, but certain employers and tax payers should have the right to refuse to pay towards people who do illegal activities.
  6. No one is taking your rights away from you. No where is it legal in the state of Ohio to smoke marijuana or other illegal drugs. My father taught me a lesson a long time ago, no choices without consequences. You make bad choices, you deserve bad consequences. She made a bad choice to carry an illegal drug and got busted for it. Whether you believe it should be legal or not doesn't change the fact that it's currently illegal. That decision cost her a 35 year tenured job, not some politician. People need to take responsibility for THEIR decisions. And guess what, no one is forcing you to work for the state. If you can't pass a drug test or background check, then work at McDonalds selling those perfect Big Macs you love so much. Maybe then people won't make terrible decisions if they know it'll possibly affect their job down the line.
  7. If you haven't already uploaded the full video, I can edit the video for you
  8. And the same populace who said the poor response to Hurricane Katrina was because of President Obama. A higher percentage than the % who said it was President Bush's fault.
  9. I typically run 36-41 ---- Anything lower in the front to me makes the bike feel heavy and sluggish into the corners.
  10. Have you been tickled by Chin hair? If you have, you may not be so decisive. On a side note, I agree. Back on topic
  11. But Biden told me to do that...
  12. Just received my two stickers. They look great on the bike. I'll be PM'ing you with a custom sticker request here shortly.
  13. Excellent, I'll probably slab down to C-bus so I don't make the ride too long then follow that route... Looks fun... Is that route usually clean?
  14. Got some buddies who live in Louisville. Heading down there for a weekend to meet up. Want to take the bike. I usually take the truck and slab 71S the entire way but I want to make this a bit more fun. Any route suggestions?
  15. I'm assuming he thought it was Call of Duty, but then the police fired back and then he realized it was real. "Tough man got scared, police rolled in, tough man disappeared."
  16. This wouldn't have happened with the R1 - Just saying
  17. Wouldn't let me see the event... What are the details?
  18. I'd say I was literally laughing out loud. Not only because of the punny words you used for your unit and carriage, but also because on our ride on Saturday, Brian (whaler) had a bee go into his helmet and it looked like he was having a seizure. Both stories combined made me laugh uncontrollably. +1 for that.
  19. 40 minute rides around here is just warming up the tires
