Why should they?

Honestly, South America always cared about USA, if you open a newspaper, at least 10% of the news are about USA, our TV is 50% USA, kids believe there's a jury in Peru, everybody is aware of anything that happens in USA..

And people is not as mean as we use to believe, only a few a$$holes are happy when something bad happens

But back to the issue, even if I agree or disagree, the decision of making pot legal is in the hand of the legislators, and it's little what we can do about it

I still have my doubts about things (which I will continue to voice in the other thread but it's clear that in many ways I see everything much clearer now, and reading and thinking made me come to the conclusion that I always believed in many of the ideas, just couldn't get pass my own mental and psychological blockades. You know, when you see your own situation as justification to impose it to the world, and then you realize you're actually doing that even though the person you've always been really points to the opposite direction, then finally you can start to think freely, and truthfully.

No this is not a fake flip-flopping... This is called, at least ideologically, self-actualization, and realization. One day someone (sadly, and quite un-impressively, here) opened my eyes (not you by the way Pat) and made me think and realize all I wanted was absolute control, when that's everything I've always despised. Logic and a LOT of thinking and reading do the rest...

I still hate, loathe and abhor Kayo Dot's second album though...

^As I said Ivan, yes, in our countries people know more about what happens in America than Americans know about what happens in SouthAmerica (the country is damn big anyway). But that doesn't mean they care. Information is readily available and the economy is affected by what happens here and US entertainment invades the airwaves, but I'm quite certain people down there don't really suffer (not that they have to) for what happens here, and viceversa. And, to be honest, help from the US (private or not) usually flows to other countries when a disaster occurs much easier than the other way around, doesn't it?

Havn't you noticed when it comes to drugs we always all agreed?

Clearly to be as interested in politics as we all are in that thread, we must be on tons of drugs

Caffeine is a drug, as we know, so yes I am consuming one at this very moment.


And DMT but shhhhhh!

I know someone that did 27 Benadryl with..interesting results.

Now, that's an example of irresponsable drug use people!
Far far worse then smoking 27 joints, and my guess is the Benadryl was much easier to get.

Wonderful....

I was referring more to the content of the arguments rather than which side he was on. He almost sounded like me talking about market forces.

And I was sober for about 50% of my posts in this thread so I wasn't on beer the entire time. I do post at work.

Don't mix BLD with THC. or LSD. unless you like DSM-IVTR.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Oh dear, maybe Pat has finally had the eye opening realization we actually do believe in market forces.

But will he truly believe it!?
