Pardon the slight derail but 40 miles north of me in Newark, NJ (A real ghetto craphole for all those who do not know,used to be the car theft capital of the world, now it is gang ridden) , pot is a ticket/fine.

The town I live in on the Jersey Shore, you get a mugshot taken, and a booking, fingerprints taken, everything. Middle class neighborhood, etc...

It is municipality based.

That is where my hellfire missile comment came from, sir.:salute:
The Federal Gov dictates laws as it sees fit, just see how they persecute legal pot states dispensiaries. Trudging on states rights, I almost see why they attacked Fort Sumpter.

Well you live in a place that has backwards views you either must deal with it or move to a state that allows you to smoke.Though the view is changing as more and more people see that the "War on Drugs" is a multibillion dollar waste of money.

Also if more people realized that waiting to eat pizza with your friends while playing "Golden Axe" and laughing non stop as your buddy beats the entire game without dying once because he is in the zone they would have a different view.

People still think that you become an axe murder after smoking kind of sad really because there are a ton of people that could smoke a joint instead of popping Prozac.

well then they need to send the drones after Obama and all his cronies because its obviously too inconvenient to arrest them and try them or even do a proper investigation on them.

The fundamental flow here is you making the process to simplistic. It is not quite as easy as picking up the red phone at 0100 and ordering a drone strike on my humble abode.

And what is Christie doing about it?

Actually trying to work across party lines...Unlike 90% of our government.

He was kicked out of the GOP "good ol boys" club for praising Obama on his response to Hurricane/superstorm Sandy.

Too bad congress crapped on our relief funds, I bet the red state tornado guys get the cash though, no obstruction or fillibusters at all!

Good post, but you do not really think that a republican president would not have done that ? Of course he would have !
So I really wonder why republicans now bash Obama for using drones ..
I was astonished though Obama did it. What became of his promises, like Guantanamo. The nobel prize indeed.
If a 'democrat' Potus does the same as a 'republican' one, where is the choice ?

What party lines? A crap neighborhood in NJ. There is no party lines. Hurricane Sandy has nothing to do with my question. Obama is not mentioned. What is Christie doing about this neighborhood?

anyone notice how they called in drones to help find Christopher Dorner?

they went so far as to label him as a "Domestic Terrorist" at one point

how much further does this need to be pushed before you end up with a situation where a man on the run is labeled a domestic terrorist and gets a bomb dropped on him?

then the state tells the people "He was a bad guy, he was a domestic terrorist! we had to do this we had no choice"

how long before the people start buying those explanations as acceptable?

it is then... when it is not questioned or really thought about that anyone who questions the government, questions the president, questions authority - whatever - is suddenly a violent domestic terrorist and should be drone-smashed

Like it or not...

The "they" here was the LAPD, who have come under massive criticism for how they handled this. Nobody further up the food chain considered Dorner a terrorist.

Quite a lot further.

I agree

but that it is even on the table is a problem

Just for the record, I get tested at my job, I operate heavy machinery. I can get nailed even if I drink too close to the blood test.

Just saying, sorry to derail, again, I suck.:timeout:

Not a stoner myself, used to be, but I do not see the harm in it (IMHO)

I am with you on the prozac and pot reference. Sadly we are potential drone hellfire missile targets because of it.

He put a cap on property taxes, which NJ is highest in the nation on, My taxes rise every year, thanks to school unions, fleecing the taxpayers with no kids...

He stood up for NJ citizens getting screwed by insurance companies, and congress, when anytime a thunderstorm farts in a southern state, they get the dollars no freaking problem.

But with a blue state, it is a problem...

I can go on and on. He also adresses people in open town halls, no prescreened questions, or prescreened admissions, he talks to people on the radio weekly. adresses concerns, and even solves some citizens problems instantly, using his connections.

I live in NJ. I know what he has done, and I am making more money in his term. My property taxes actually stabilzed, rather than going up, as my house value dropped.

Once again I live in NJ, and go ahead make a stinky joke, but he has turned this state around, despite partisan crap.

(by the way I am left leaning, and Christie is a Republican, so yeah, I am judging what is best, and not my political leaning.)

(Edit: always a big fan of yours AVG, great plane, and even greater person. Please do not take my statements as hostility, simply debating a pal :))

Were did you read that you are a target if you are on prozac or smoke pot? Last time I check a few states legalized pot. Prozac is a prescribed medication.

None of what stated has helped the What are you afraid of in the real "ghetto" crap hole? Why has Christie not cleaned up Newark? Will not help him politically no reason to address the ghetto?
