Stir up a controversy with an in-your-face picture, that happens to be tasteless and absurd, in order to sell magazines. The last time I saw a Time magazine it was in the waiting room at the doctor's office covered in germs. If you want to breast feed your kid until they're old there's nothing wrong with it. Throwing this woman's boob in our faces is the problem.

It wouldn't be very Constitutional to track him down and arrest him.

My point is that the answer is very, very unclear. Pointing to a small country with no comparables to ours doesn't make jimbo our resident expert on predicting the ramifications of making pot legal. It may very well be that the problem with our application of marijuana laws is that we are not harsh enough. When you make something illegal but the consequence only a slap on the wrist then people decide it's not really a law...like speeding. The entire point is that it's a complicated issue and stating that you have the "FACTS" because you heard that Portugal or Senegal or Uzbekistan or the Ivory Coast is doing well with it doesn't mean you have all the answers. Get some perpective.

The article states that Oregon has decided to focus on the front-end fraud and ignore the abuse of the money once it's distributed. It's not a technology issue, it's that the State of Oregon hasn't considered it important enough to stop.

Dude, it is reality. Wake up.

So your argument, then, is that if we look at Portugal then we can directly translate their results to the United States because, what?, people is people? I applaud your scientific research. You should write a piece for an academic journal.

The focus of the government's message to youth for 30 years has been education in association with legislation. You're saying that if we just remove the law and continue to educate kids then they'll smoke, what, only 15 times per month? Honestly, aside from blabbering useless nonsense associated with empty talking points, what are you actually trying to convey? Wed, 2 May 2012 22:31:28 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/medicalalert/More-teens-taking-hits-as-pot-use-climbs-149843695.html#IDComment352944148 http://www.katu.com/news/medicalalert/More-teens-taking-hits-as-pot-use-climbs-149843695.html#IDComment352944060 Hey Faking: You're totally right. Teen pregnancy isn't more prolific now that the internet has helped blast pornography out of sock drawers and into the mainstream because we focus on educating young people about the dangers of unprotected sex, right? Obviously this is a "the government is wrong" issue as opposed to an "it's probably not a good thing for more and more kids to smoke pot 20 or more times per month" issue. I find it amusing that during a time in which medical marijuana cards have been handed out like candy, we see a stastic about our youth getting high in greater numbers and you are pointing the finger at the ineffectiveness of legislation. Don't you see that it's currently becoming more and more legal and the usage is concurrently increasing?

All Bible-based Christian churches have "conservative views on homosexuality" so the vandals have actually succeeded in helping to brand and label Mars Hill as an anti-gay church. What's amazing is that somehow Christianity isn't protected by the media the way that other groups are. If Mars Hill was a Jewish center or a Mosque this would be a hate crime. Instead it's the perpetrators who are the protected class here. The good news is that Mars Hill cares about Jesus, not the pretty glass that surrounds the pulpit. Hopefully this absurd action by a marginalized extremist group will only garner more interest in the Mars Hill community in Portland so that the church will have to begin Saturday night services to accomodate all of its members just as they had to add a second Sunday service 6 weeks after their launch.
