What kind of guerilla forces do you support to rule in a dictatorship after the powers that be are destroyed?




:rofl:

But seriously, the constitution was printed on hemp :wink: most of the "four fathers" grew it.

And they were not as stupid as you insinuate, I think, though they really had no clue what they were doing. Some were angry businessmen in political clothing, some were intellectuals, Classicists with a deep knowledge of Latin/Greek, and a want to rebuild some sort of historical republic. But the pushes for this change were not necessarily about "freedom"; more about the freedom to tax our own profits and not send it overseas to England :lmafo:. They did not free slaves or give blanket equality, right?

They also never mentioned drugs though :shrug:. They had no idea the beast that they were unleashing upon the world, though it took a long time for us (the country) to grasp anything, really~

And @Nullface; Nothing ever changes except with violence? That is childish dude, grow up~

Well not really, that's just how they told you it used to be. It used to be just as, if not more, corrupt. The constitution is a bunch of thinly veiled bullshit, and we don't really have any constitutional rights in reality, it's just a lot of pretty talk. If they want you, you will be jailed or killed, regardless of whether you've even done anything against the law. By your logic, if you shoot a guy in a Mickey Mouse suit then the Disney corporation will crumble and fall.

What? They were not as stupid as YOU insinuate. It's pretty clear they knew exactly what they were doing in regards to cultivating a false sense of power/choice in the common man, when really he has none. It's all horse shit; pimping at it's finest. I don't care about politics though, the average person in general has such a low level of critical thinking skills that they will never see most facts about it, or that a revolution will be misguided and only make things worse. So just let people who believe in politics get rattled up over their new favorite candidate and waste their time with it.

This and what I said are not that far off :shrug: I don't understand what you think "I have been told" :lmafo:. What are you one of those dudes that thinks books and an education are horrible things?

But on this topic

More precisely what I was insinuating was that our Constitution was structured to cater to business interests; its been that way since day one. It is the leading cause as to why we had the revolution in the first place; those who had become monied + powerful were sick of sending cuts back to the empire overseas. I also said that there was really nothing that protected citizens rights, except for in the most basic of ways (freedom of speech, yadda yadda); it was "ahead" of its times, in comparison to other nations in the late 1700's, but it was really not that "special" in the rights that it gave. Like I said, we were still ripe with hypocrisy, slavery being one of the biggest things that stands out in the forefront of my mind. But that would have hurt business :blush: 

I really don't understand what you mean "by your logic"; what do you think I was saying?

There was a lot of intelligence amongst some of the framers, Franklin being a great example. He had a side of wanting to protect "business", but he was one who stood out in his progressiveness. If it was not for influence like his, many of our basic rights would probably be different.

And it is completely childish to blame THEM as well, seeing as how we have had 200+ years for legislators and judges to play and change around and make the constitution fit their own viewpoints. If you think ANYONE could have the "forethought" to predict what a country would be like in 50, 100, 250 years, your nuts. In the war of 1812 the White House was burned down and the whole country nearly with it. The civil war was absolutely ridiculous, some things FINALLY coming to a head. We had no real power till after ww2. Our history is very short~

I don't agree at all :shrug: you are giving them way too much credit I think.

Your right.

How about instead of being in the ranks of the thoughtless, when it comes to History/Politics, you join us on the thinking side. We could use you :wink:

Yes, I completely agree, this is beautifully said. Assassinations or even a bombing of congress would do nothing except turn the entire American legal system into a giant martyr. People are far too brainwashed for some kind of bullshit revolution. Besides, when was the last time a revolution fixed anything? As far as I know its been centuries. You need either unbelievably oppressive government or an insanely great idea backed by like 90% of a population. A few potheads and state-ist rednecks aint gonna do the trick

I don't think legalization is the answer either. Legalization means just that, it's completely legal - as legal as a pack of skittles. A child can have a pack of skittles, eat those skittles, sell them, buy them, etc. There are no restrictions on when you can eat skittles, or what you can do after you've eaten them. There's nothing saying how many skittles you can eat, or saying that we can't eat skittles or have a sugar rush in public.

On the other hand, a child can't legally have, drink, buy or sell alcohol. One can't drive while alcohol is in their system, one can't drink in certain public places, or be particularly intoxicated in public. In that sense, alcohol is not legal - instead alcohol is regulated.

To say that pot would be legal would mean just that, that it would be as legal as a pack of skittles, which it should not be. It should be regulated. People should be a certain age to legally possess marijuana, there should be guidelines in place on how it's produced, one shouldn't be allowed to drive under its primary effects, and it shouldn't be something that people do in public places. Thus, it should be regulated.

That is a sensible way of putting it, and while I doubt that's what Obama is trying to get at here, that's what I would hope he ultimately means.

Drugs will never be legal without violence. NOTHING will ever change without violence. We've all been conditioned to think that violence isn't the answer yet have ANY peaceful protests worked in the past? Remember Vietnam? Remember all those cops calling the protestors hippie scum and beating them while they cried with their signs? What about Occupy Wallstreet? What did that solve? NOTHING. They laughed down at them on the balcony and drank champagne. The usual rebuttal to this argument usually goes back to 'being non-violent like Gandhi'. Have you taken a look at India lately? It's a huge shithole with living conditions ALMOST on par with a uncleaned McDonalds bathroom in most areas. He did NOTHING. Or how about the pictures of the monks setting themselves on fire to protest? That sure solved a lot. So now we can establish holding signs and suicide solves nothing. How about the offensive approach for once? Our country is in the shitter and it's only going to get worse with these corrupt politicians holding office. People seem to forget that they aren't immune to bullets. Keep crying on the internet demanding things to change while they send your emails straight into the Spam folder.




the only time i can think of where peaceful protest changed anything is in the forest activism community. alot of old growth timber sales were cancelled because of stalling tactics like tree sitting and road blockading/trench digging. this requires a constant watch for what public lands are put up for sale. the only reason these tactics worked was because people put themselves in precarious positions, which would have put them in danger if extraction was attempted. some agencies ignored the dangers though and went ahead with extractions. many units were saved.

I think weed should be as legal as skittles, personally. Maybe they should ask for ID and require the buyer to be 18 years of age, that would be the strictest they'd need to get. By the way, if a child sells those skittles he bought, he's in fact breaking the law even though it's just skittles. Enjoy.

This isn't true.  It may apply today but it didn't mean that they set the system up to fuck us or make us a feel a sense of false empowerment.  There are plenty of quotes from those who drafted the Constitution saying things to the effect of "This system grants you freedom and power of yourselves...  For as long as you can keep it."

Obviously they knew that there was a good chance that it would end up this way, because it always has throughout history.  That's why it was an experiment.  To see how long people could maintain something of this nature that was given to them.  Just because it didn't last that long doesn't mean we blame the founding fathers or try to say that they had some sinister plan to create a sense of false empowerment.

There are more people imprisoned for the commission of drug offenses in the United States - close to 500,000 - than are incarcerated in England, France, Germany, and Japan for all crimes combined.  Examined in another way, the United States has 100,000 more people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses than all the countries of the European Union combined, despite the fact that the European Union has 100 million more citizens. :crankey:

If you want something, fight for it. If you want freedom, do your best to attain it, no matter what the oppressors say, think, or do. Pessimism, laziness, and wishful thinking will get you nowhere. Stand and make a voice in you local community. Don't let your lifestyle hide you in the dark. Embrace who you are, and tell the world why you believe the way you do. I think it's the only way to change things back in this country.
