  • Noam Chomsky is one of the main voices of the voiceless.

    As a Honduran, I am infinitely thankful, that he speaks the truth out there.

    Even if you hate the system you live in, you cannot fight it from outside. He makes a difference educating people to make a change deep in the minds of people and make them aware of what is being done. It's the most effective way to change the system from within.

  • Your argument IS shallow. It's literally a sentence long.

    We shouldn't listen to him because he works at MIT?

    He is not a weapons designer. He is not Wall Street banker. He is an intellectual. A professor.

    Not a crooked politician. Not a war profiteer.

    Anyways, he's not infallible. I'm *sure* you have something to say about his ideas right? You seem confident enough to dismiss the guy just based on where he works.

  • North American Free Trade Association, or 'NAMBLA'

  • The religious facsiasts dont even see the perversion in their menial plots to over run personal choice ,and create more substance abuse by use of distorted media and discrimination.It's A crazy ass world and it should'nt be this way ! !0-20 years and people wouldnt be begging for it ..!t's just too hard on the human soul and body ? The distribution factor of drugs is ;by and large ,created for the the indebted and unemployed .. It's a insane psycho-social mind control Sorry,thanks

  • @JeresyMike18 But surely you would want to know why this particular group is convicted of the crime more than any other. If racial profiling doesn't exist for racist purposes, then why does it exist?

  • @Fighting31406 My point is it is not intended. If white people made up a majority of a specific crime, would you cry racism or would you conclude that the majority of the people doing it are white? Racial profiling exist but I do not think the laws are always intended that way.

  • @JeresyMike18 Why wouldn't race have anything to do with it? Is the majority of Black men in prison because of marijuana or not?
