...and also, that bill isn't passing. no chance. it's just a token effort to remind people that the issue is there.

DAMN IT!

Give it time. Ten years at most.

medical will pass, but it's not the california model. you're gonna need more than back pain to get a card.

Honestly I am interested in cultivating and selling to dispenseries if medicinal passes. Procurement for personal use (which for me is mostly medicinal anyway) is never an issue.

in MD, i get that it's decriminalized, but in PA, won't you be worried about potential repercussions with child protective services, or simply having an arrest record if something totally fluky happens and you get busted? you are white and not poor as far as i can tell, so the odds are very slim of that happening. but still...there's a chance, right?

That is ABSOLUTELY something I have considered. Until laws change I wont possess any. It aint worth that risk.

[shmenguin]

the distinction between procurement and possession is noted.

[PensFanInDC]

Well...it's impossible to procure something without possessing it, is it not?

[tifosi77]

Procuring means ownership. Possession (in this context) means having it in your physical custody/on your person. You can do each independent of the other.

I think.

This is a prime example of why the U.N. is useless. Israel only member country that violates women's rights. The fact that Iran is an elected member of the Commission on Status of Women and that Sudan is a vice chair of CSW is a real hoot.

If the UN in your opinion is useless, than why does it matter what they claim?

Useless or not they "speak for" the free world...

Saw some snippets from Cruz's announcement speech. He hit on every anti-government issue but his smartest move was giving the speech where attendance by the students was compulsory ensuring a full house.

Yes and no. I doubt this resolution leads to anything.

Thus the quotation marks. The "findings" are ridiculous and everyone knows it. Moving on...

You do realize that scads of the country's most popular Dems have paid for attendance and tried similar meat-in-seat tactics to drum up fake ermagerd love for their public appearances?

[PensFanInDC]

Yes but I'm sure there is a very reasonable explanation as to why its OK...

He's a very gifted public speaker, in an after-dinner-address kind of way.

I felt like he was giving a sermon or running for deacon, rather than announcing a presidential bid.

Yep, with the roaming around the stage and the face mic. I love that little smirk he gives after he denounces one thing after another. Good performer.

You're arguing with me when I complement your guy? Name a college that would force it's students to attend a pep rally, a purely political event, for a Democrat that fills an arena with thousands. A few Rand Paul shirt wearing students were complaining about having to attend.

You do know that people wear Lightning sweatshirts are at other events, don't you?

Matters to me because the present administration seems to put a lot of stock in the organization. This particular issue demonstrates the total anti-Israeli bias that exists in the U.N.
It would also be nice if the U.S. would vigorously object to this pronouncement and take the Muslim countries to task for their misogynistic slave-like treatment of females.
