Saddam opressed people because of their specific muslim denominations or culture, and if they fought back they were inhumanely killed. He has killed unarmed women and children. He was not a "nice guy".
And whoever first mentioned marijuana legalisation, shame on you! My friend's uncle got hooken on marijuana. He then became highly scitzophrenic, resulting in him jumping out of the window of a building.
I'll agree that Saddam was a bad guy... but was it our place to take him out? He didn't pose a direct threat to the United States, and it's not like we've done much better than him so far in terms of running his country.
As for the marijuana thing, I have no problem with it. Realistically, it does less long-term damage than drinking. As for marijuana making you go nutso -- it was probably some bad schwag laced with something else.
Teapot:
LOL, you missed my comparison of Saddam to SC? He's nice as is personality, lifestyle, family values, ethics, etc. He was just merciless in the killing of the troublemakers. The only reason he looked as bad as many people think is because of the media. I despise biased media. Especially that ass-kissing CNN.
Trust me, if you asked the average Iraqi off the streets before the 2nd Gulf War, a lot of them LOVE Saddam. Those who didn't were just the power-hungry and the young idiots who thought that Saddam had governed for too long (for some reason people think that it's a bad thing when some guy stays in power for long).
Personally, I don't know a thing about marijuana, so I'll stay neutral on that .

" Obviously Bush did not serve "honorably" because DEC Stuff says so"
Yeah your damn straight its that way.
I can't say for certain whether or not Bush served what you call "honorably". I do know he was on drugs or alcohol or both during those years. I know he was a C student in yale. I know he's the only president ever to have a criminal record. I know he has lied, like most presidents. I know according to what we hear that Bush likely dodged the draft, that his father helped him, that he didn't serve completely.
Im not the only one out there who thinks this. It's not just "cause I say it". There are many people out there who also believe this.
I don't know much about marijuana, but I do know that my uncle (dad's half sister's husband) that lives in California is addicted to pot, and is seriously fucked up.
We don't see them much, but once and a while he comes over to Hawaii to surf, and man, he has the IQ of a 6 year old. And he’s paranoid too, he’s a textbook nutcase who lives way out in the woods above half moon bay with no phone or running water in a century old hunting cabin. He lives "off the grid" because the government is out to get him.
Meeting him is the most effective anti drug commercial.
But damn, hemp sounds like it does lost of good.
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?
It seems that some of you like to skim over stuff don't you? If you read any of it, I said nothing about being for smoking it. And like you all just stated about people smoking it, its just that, people are already smoking it. So instead of holding back the good things that hemp does, lets just allow the good things and try to continue to stop people from smoking it.
Also like I said, Marijana is a mental addiction, therefore while still somewhat hard, it is easier to treat and cure an adiction than cigaretts. Also granted, smoking marijana seems more dangerous, what with the highness and all, in the long run it is far less dangerous than cigaretts. Ever see someone try to stop themself from smoking cigaretts? Thats brutal. And why the hell does our government continue to let all these tobacco companies put all these insane chemicals in it? Because of the money! This country was founded on things like tobacco and such! If I were running this country, Id swap it in a heartbeat. I'm a D-F student, with a minor criminal record and I can run this country better. It might still go into the ground, but the crash will be smoother.
Who ever thought of smoking tobacco and marijana? Maybe I should research that. That seems like it could only be a very funny and akward scene.
Anyways, what's the deal with the draft? I was told Bush is bringing it back because he can't handle Iraq I guess.
Storytime!!!
Okay, in Iraq, I'm sure we all know about people are sending contractors to like build and stuff for an insane ammounts of money, due to the danger and all. Anyways, this one lady (forgot her name) Decided to go there to be able to actually feed her children in the future, and she was having trouble with bills and all. Anyways, in Iraq, she had the privilage of seeing a plane full of dead american soldiers. Now this wasn't like a bunch of bodies piled in a plane, but a very nice decroated plane, with american flags and nice coffins and stuff. Seeing this, she took a picture and sent it to a newspaper. The paper published it, but the Bush admin ended up taking away the ladies job, the lady ended up loosing her house and her kids, and all because bush didn't want the public to see it. Now why the hell would he go and do that? It's not like it was a bunch of dead bodies all scattered about with limbs flying everywhere. This would more likely make someone respect war more. But yeah, so there anyways. Continue.
The Bush, and the right is hellbent on hiding the costs of war. Just last night several ABC affiliates chose not to air there nightline program which was commemorating the falen.
DEC stuff, most people can't even get into Yale, let alone make C's. I don't know what you mean about his "criminal record" (maybe that he did drugs?) but other Presidents have had criminal records (such as Clinton).
I think Muz is from another planet or something. I will give you one example of how "great" Saddam was. He lived in palaces and luxury, while he let his people live in the dumps, to put it bluntly. In fact it was impossible for them to improve there condition because Saddam wanted to be the only one rich and powerful. They had no freedom at all. I could go on about other things he has done but thats enough for now. Also, the media is biased but it depends on what station you watch, as to what there biases are. CNN is biased against the war while Fox would be biased for the war. But can you really blame them? Is it possible to be completely unbiased? I don't think so.
99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.
Number of times Bush has been arrested: 3.
Number of times Clinton has been arrested: 0.
In response to Mr. Coffee:
Saddam is a piece of shit. No one likes that guy. But also,
It's tough to be unbiased. But Rupert Murdock and many mass media outlets are owned and run by conservatives. They are very biased.
I don't know how much CNN is biased as it is simply trying to be unbiased. Thats the problem. You think your unbiased, and people will call you biased always.
I don't like Saddam, but the my country, Americans, etc. invading a country without propar plans of what to do after we get there, or atleast not implenenting those good plans is NOT what I would call a good thing, even if getting rid of Saddam in general might be.
Obviously, since Clinton has never been arrested that means he has no criminal record. Uh, no. He should have been thrown in jail anyway. Many media outlets are run by conservatives but many of them are also run by liberals (such as CNN).
