The worst thing about pot is it makes people sit around wasting time.

Heh. I wonder what a cop would say if one told them some people were going to start smoking weed instead of getting drunk on the weekends…

The worst thing about pot is it makes people sit around wasting time.

It does not induce violence, anger or excitement. Quite the opposite in fact. Like alcohol however it does impair judgement and cognition.

Given there are other drugs that do induce said emotions which are currently legal, I don’t understand why politicians think its any big deal to (heaven forfend) consider decriminalization.

Their stance to to me, is frankly quite irrational.

Unfortunately, the idiot media never seriously challenge them on the issue so we remain stuck with the semi-moronic-catatonic status-quo.

Sad and dumb. Sad sad sad and dumb dumb dumb.

Toad.
“You probably can turn down a job on the basis of ethical belief”

Why bend and twist it? There are welfare dependent, unemployable scumbags who will avoid work always.
A job at McD’s just exposes them, and they just hate being challenged. Religion is irrelevant, so is the eating preference.

Yep, you are just another Liarbour example of why the taxpayer pays for the lazy.

Fuck their ethical beliefs Toad, if the bastards refuse a job then their benefit should be cancelled immediately.

We need more like Christine Rankin if only to balance up the wet left wing bullshit you lot insist on forcing upon us.

You can smoke all the pot you want, Ryan, so long as you pay for your own mental health care after you turn schizo and your physical health care when you end up whacking your cock through the paper shredder. Also you can’t go on the dole after successfully going cold turkey like phool has.

So throw a surcharge on weed sales to supplement public health.

Your move, Mr Nanny State. What’s next? Gonna ban beef unless everyone pays for their own colon cancer?

and of course the great big whopper of a lie for the evening..

..came from associate health minister dr jonathan coleman..

..he stood up in parliament..

..and said ‘cannabis smoke is twenty times more dangerous than tobacco smoke..’

..that really is a ‘whopper’..eh..?

..and flies in the face of his own doctors’ professional associations’ findings/attitudes…

..and of course..the whole ‘sativex-yes/weed-no..

..is just the doctors/pharmacists protecting their trade monoplies..

..they get no ‘earn’..from sufferers growing their own..

..they want no precedents like that set..

..whoar..!

“holy self-interest..!..batman..!..”

You probably can turn down a job on the basis of ethical belief.

I can’t imagine they would cut the dole of a Jew or Muslim who refused to work in a pig butchery. The same should apply to a vegan who refuses to work anywhere that serves or processes meat.

Not that I am one, but I can’t imagine Work and Income could be so insensitive to a person’s ethical belief today. Maybe when Christine Rankin ran it…

McDonalds.
It would be almost impossible to turn down a job based on lack of qualification, and if you did there would be no dole.

“What is scary for the National Party is that right now Goff would not look out of place in a John Key led cabinet.”

Yes he would, trout.

He’d be the biggest arsehole in it, by a huge margin.

and kudos to the 4 act mp’s who voted for the bill..

..and where is mallard..?

..he voted against it..

..i would love to hear his reasons why..

philu — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:15:14 +0000

and the astonishing thing..

..is that the vote was to only take it to the select committee stage..

..so the issue/questions could be further examined/clarified..

..and the party of ‘personal freedom’ .. all voted against even that..

..good ‘democratic-principles..there national..
