John Ashcroft, keeping our country safe from comedians

yeah because r kelly videotaping sex with a 13 yo and cheech selling bongs (which btw are sold in stores all over the country) are the same thing

 

Wait a minute, is selling bongs illegal? Im asking because there are a bunch of shops in the Village where bongs are actually displayed on the window fronts. I also remember going to Haight and Ashbury in SF and they had shops that sold everything but the drug(Imn sure they did in the "back"). So exactly why is Chong going to a pound me in the ass prison and these STORES continue to sell?

 

The gay lobby is VERY powerful.

Seriously, why didn't Cheech just cash in on his enormous acting talents? Why is he selling bongs on the internet in the 1st place? Can't Rae Dawn float him some money?

 

As far as I understand it, he was sentenced in a federal court, prosecuted, presumably, by a federal prosecutor.
If they can go above and beyond the law to lock people up incommunicado, then they can choose to look the other way from an existing law that makes no sense. But apparently the Department of Justice assigned a prosecutor (if not more than one) to investigate people selling glass and paper.
This Ashcroft is a maniac, not to mention an arsehole, and I feel a fair amount of people who might otherwise be undecided about his boss might base their votes on whether this azzwipe is liable to be around four more years.
I would like to hear from Republicans who have problems with Ashcroft...I know they're are some in Congress and in the Senate, but I've yet to run across them on BigSoccer.

 

Well, 4 years ago, bringing a bong or any other kind of paraphenalia into the US was overlooked, as long as it didn't have any resin.

Obviously somebody does pick and choose.

Here's a little article describing how Ashcroft has arranged it so that visitors to drug paraphernalia sites will be automatically redirected to a government Web site where their IP address will be captured and put on record.

But keep on defending him about just doing his duty upholding the law. Sheep.

 

oops you're right chong... i clearly haven't smoked any lately

as for the pound... that's just his personal for the week maaaaaaaaaaan

 

Yes. However, not acting on something like this robs Aschroft of a chance to look like the playground bully. How about trying to stop people who are a real threat to society?

 

Okay, what's your point? I stand by my words. John Ashcroft has nothing to do with this case. This is a larger directive and Chong got caught up in it. Why do you support giving illegal drug traffickers entry into the homes of families across the country? Why are you supporting a violent, multi-billion dollar industry in its efforts to pollute the minds of young people?

 

1-ummm ashcroft said "the illegal drug paraphernalia industry has invaded the homes of families across the country" - not really that smooth flipping it into "illegal drug traffickers", did you think we'd not notice?

2-when did glass blowers become so violent? who did they kill?

 

Are you on acid?

 

Oh yeah. Those dealing in illegal drug paraphernilia have no interest in dealing drugs. Nah, they want to just sell trinkets for a few bucks.

 

that may be your dumbest assumption yet... and that's saying something

so your saying that glassblowers and head shops obviously also sell weed? have you ever met a glassblower?

ya know it must be very freeing to know absolutely nothing about a given topic... that way you can just say anything and it seems right

and as for headshops selling drugs... dontcha think that might make them easy to catch? but you're right... if they are stupid enough to sell drugs out of their head shop they deserve to go under the prison

 

. . . says the guy who must not have ever heard of Federal Minimum Sentencing Guidelines. . . .

 

Ian you truly are a clueless twit.

1) As I posted on the first page the glass blowing industry is actually a pretty big one in some communities (Eugene, OR) for example and this new crackdown has had a large economic impact. Artists have now been forced to start working for the sex toy industry. So which is worse selling a pipe or selling dildos?

2) The vast majority of people who sell or create paraphenilia are not stupid enough to sell drugs. Most are actually very skilled artists who unfortunately are faced withthe economic reality that only so many people want pretty vases etc.

3) Since when are marijuana users "violent"? This can be desribed of alcohol or meth users but when is the last time someone who was high on Marijuana did anything aggro?

Look, I stopped smoking pot years ago for personal reasons but I find the absurd double standard in this country outrageous. Alcohol and tobacco are legal but marijuana is not?

 

He'll be gone anyway. He's the worst President in my lifetime ... and that's saying something since it includes Nixon.

 

nixon was 1000X the president dumbya is

i said it before and i'll say it again... W is THE WORST president EVER
