Hard News: But seriously, drug policy, in reply to Kiwi,
The picture of someone smoking a joint to cure some ailment is an aging stereotype in a day when the Cannabidiol (CBD) portion of the plant can be extracted separately to the THC (psychoactive component) and delivered through a variety of mechanisms from sprays to edibles to vaporizers
So right. And if were legal and cheaper these options would be much more preferable. Smoking is a bad way to ingest anything.

"Political" is right

So Ugly heard of Pascals wager or intelligent design? I'm thinking not.
And if you are trying to say (most) politicians are godless, meaning they are a bunch of lying two faced arseholes you'll get no argument from me.

Fare thee well -
And find your electorate, if your unsure here

How do you differentiate between a person of religion and a rational theist?
Dont you worry about that I can. So your answer? Oh rational theist?
You arrived at this position how? What theism are you rational in? -
Up Front: Oh, God, in reply to UglyTruth,
For he has so intimately connected, so inseparably interwoven the laws of eternal justice with the happiness of each individual, that the latter cannot be attained but by observing the former; and, if the former be punctually obeyed, it cannot but induce the latter
WTF? If you are religious please state it plainly NOW.

Hard News: Privacy and the Public Interest, in reply to BenWilson,
capitalism will morph into a better system. It could take a long bloody time, but I think it will. I’d rather it happened sooner than later and think we could take simple positive steps in that direction,
WE? I love the use of the collective word as if WE are all working in a specific direction. WE'RE not you do realise. Sorry but capitalism is, at the moment, standing in the way of change.

And she burbles on;
"I have not even seen that book. I don't know who is paying that bloke [Hager], but somebody must be paying him an awful lot."
