i had ys on the master system briefly, i neither understood nor enjoyed it. i traded it for some other, better game i'm sure. in conclusion, wonder boy 3: the dragon's trap is a really good game.

i'm sick and tired of the blatant anti ron paul conspiracy, frankly. it makes me feel like i'm playing deus ex all over again. i have a very square head and speak stupidly, and nothing makes sense.

http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/789519/sick%3A_young,_undercover_cops_flirted_with_students_to_trick_them_into_selling_pot/

Last year in three high schools in Florida, several undercover police officers posed as students. The undercover cops went to classes, became Facebook friends and flirted with the other students. One 18-year-old honor student named Justin fell in love with an attractive 25-year-old undercover cop after spending weeks sharing stories about their lives, texting and flirting with each other.

One day she asked Justin if he smoked pot. Even though he didn't smoke marijuana, the love-struck teen promised to help find some for her. Every couple of days she would text him asking if he had the marijuana. Finally, Justin was able to get it to her. She tried to give him $25 for the marijuana and he said he didn't want the money -- he got it for her as a present.

A short while later, the police did a big sweep and arrest 31 students -- including Justin. Almost all were charged with selling a small amount of marijuana to the undercover cops. Now Justin has a felony hanging over his head.

This story is not unique to Florida and it reminds me of an 18-year-old Mitchell Lawrence, a young man from Great Barrington, Mass., who served two years in jail for selling a joint to an undercover cop. The officer befriended Lawrence and his friends and would hang out with them. One day the cop asked if Lawrence had any weed. Lawrence gave the cop a joint. The cop handed him $20. Lawrence hesitated, but the cop insisted on giving him the money. "Selling" the joint, because they were hanging out less than a 1000 feet from a school, and thus was considered a "drug free school zone," carried a mandatory minimum two-year sentence.

The drug war is sick. How much money was wasted by our law enforcement to get these few bags of marijuana "off the streets"? How do these cops look themselves in the mirror? Seducing 18-year-olds to fall in love or pretending to be friends and then tricking them into procuring small amounts of marijuana so they can charge them with felonies is beyond slimy and diametrically opposed to the officers' charge to "serve and protect."

We often hear that we need to fight the drug war to protect the kids. As these despicable examples show, more often the drug war is ruining young people's lives and doing more harm than good.

How was that first one not entrapment?

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

because she didn't specifically *ask* him to sell her marijuana, he did it without prompting (all she did was ask if he smoked it). so it's entrapment in spirit, but not in letter

this is also how it works with undercover cops pretending to be prostitutes, they have to be careful in how they word things

[Superb Joe]

hahaha that rules. this world is so cool

[The Monster King]

capture all marijuana users and send them to private jails

is there a fair-trade marijuana market, isnt most of it sold like by criminal cartels and shit

also would eating it be better for the environment. at least it wouldnt smell up a 500m radius. marijuana ethics

War on drugs being bad=Ron Paul for president?

Anyone with any political knowledge knows the war on drugs is an extension of Jim Crowe. It's just an excuse to put black people in jail. No one needs Paul to know that.

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

i think that even though it's common knowledge among internet 20-somethings, the mainstream media and the political scene and the public in general need people like paul point it out, since none of the other candidates mention it, and they deny it if it's mentioned, and saying that the war on drugs does more harm than good and should end is taboo on much of television, let alone saying that we should pardon everyone convicted of non-violent drug crimes

i do think it's a simplification to say that all of the war on drugs is because of racism though; there's also economic reasons for it: alcohol and cigarette corporations would stand to lose money if other drugs were legalized. government grants those two industries a monopoly over recreational drugs

there's also the economic interests of the prescription drug industry, which create synthetic versions of various illegal drugs and patent and sell those (e.g. painkillers, anti-anxiety, all kinds of prescription drugs are very chemically similar to illegal drugs), and there'd be much less of a demand for prescription drugs if there were no drug war

and of course the economic interest of the private prison industry, which needs more people in jail to make a profit off of (70% of the people in jail are there for drug possession)
