FUCKING BOZOS

[MrGoNzObeAtZ]

@JayRebel I know what ya mean. This angers me so much.These criminal mother fuckers have to be stopped.

[JayRebel]

What a hypocrite. While condoning the sale of nicotine and alcohol he supports this bill. Where are all the marijuana addiction facilities? How many families have been destroyed because of alcohol addiction? How many careers have been crushed because of alcohol addiction? And he just lets it go? This piece of human feces has nothing but his own agenda in mind. He has absolutely no interest in our voice as Canadian citizens. Sen. Wallace sir, you can go to hell.

Prohibition didnt work with Alcohol, and it doesnt work with Marijuana. It doesnt stop anything. It just pushes the system underground. It doesnt matter if you put people away, they'll get out and have to make money somehow. And if they cant get a good job with their criminal records. WTF do you think they're going to do? Stupid politicians.

Senator Wallace couldn't even respond. Maybe because there were no answers pre-written for him on his note sheet that targeted the questions and comments that were directed at what he had said.

Hopefully he will have opened his eyes now and change his position on Bill S-10 and tell his other senator collegues as well

mandatory minimum sentences increase violence

Sen. Wallace is either dumb or corrupt. i'm leaning towards the latter.

[nickeldickel]

Uhhhhg.

Well he's right about one thing - freedom of choice vs. no freedom of choice IS irreconcilable.

How foolish of him to imply that drug use CAN be extinguished and that drug use could somehow NOT be an issue for our children and grand children. It has been and always will be. Save your IDEALISM for things less serious.

Stop the spin-cycle. Accept REALITY and move forward.
