  1. yes but it does not cease to be a medical problem still. i guess i should have said its MORE a medical problem than a criminal one.
  2. say you find your kid having sex. are you going to tell them about condoms and whatnot, or are you just going to say "dont do that anymore" and hope for the best, or just ignore it and pretend it didnt happen? nice straw man. i didnt say legalize everything, i said prohibition doesnt work. it doesnt. that is beyond dispute. it didnt work in the 30's with booze, and it doesnt work today with drugs. if it DID work, we wouldnt even be having this discussion, because no one would use heroin, cocaine, pot or any of the myriad of other substances our government has deemed inappropriate. i think its silly for pot to be illegal, with as much money as we could make off of taxing it, why not? we tax cigarettes and alcohol, and regulate them too. should heroin be legal? probably not. although, we do have methadone clinics where you get a regulated dose legally... like i said before, people are going to use whether legal or not, so it does not seem like a terrible idea to me to try to make sure the people who are going to use are doing it safely.
  3. who is we? i dont pay tax in NYC, so it wasn't my money... do you? is it "morally and ethically" right for the government to tell me what i can and can not put in my body? IMO this is just like giving out condoms at high school instead of teaching abstinence only. everyone knows abstinence only does not work. we all know drug prohibition doesnt work either. people are going to use whether its legal or not. people have been doing heroin for hundreds of years, and will probably continue to do it for hundreds more. you are right though, probably not everyone who reads the pamphlet will follow it, but IMO if half of them do, then it wasn't a waste. its a good start. RE: equating heroin use with rape (why not make a pamphlet for rapists)... come on get real. they are not even in the same ballpark. not even the same leauge. shit, they arent even the same sport! you are comparing apples and chickens here. i think another point that many are missing, is that drug addiction is NOT a criminal problem. its a medical one. addiction is a disease, and needs to be treated as such.
  4. What part of "prohibition does not work" is not understood?
  5. Implying that someone shooting themself up with h and someone raping a child are somehow on the same level.
  6. yeah its pretty short. like 5 hours or something. but honestly, no one buys it for the campaign mode. everyone gets it for the online multiplayer.
  7. i was thinkin about going out there today. the only things i really need are maybe some more mags, and im looking for an 18" barrel for my mossberg.
  8. when you collect more in premiums than you pay in claims, thats called an underwriting profit. some companies make one, some do not. then you have their "float", which is the money theyve collected in premiums, but have not had to pay out for losses yet. you dont want this money just sitting around, so they invest it into stuff like commercial real estate, stocks, bonds etc etc. returns on these investments are where a substantial amount of their profit comes from. obviously, this is very dependent on the economy too. you cant survive on float alone especially when the economy goes down, they try to tighten up underwriting standards, and rely less on float. meanings higher premiums when the economy is crappy. once the economy gets better, they loosen their standards, and start investing more.
