But you don't mind when deadbeats like Rush get off with a slap on the wrist?

Shhhhh! You'll spoil his rant!

That image is lame. You can see "For Windows" right under Presidency. Presidency for Windows for Dummies? Lazy photoshop job.

I've seen it before, so I know it isn't yours, 4th. I would expect more from you.

Nope. Not mine. I do better work than that. :)

It is not fair that the rich and or famous get away with more than the average person and that should be changed.
But how do you change that when so many people in society put more importance on the persons are in the spotlight of society ie sports, movies, religion, politics etc.

Weak, weak rant.

Every day, thousands of people get diversion and not jail time for first offenses be they rich or poor.

eh, you can make statistics say anything...











nevertheless, you're absolutly right about diversion being the "punishment" of choice for first offenders, rich or poor...

Truth.

Same here.

I'm just curious, but have you ever read any Ayn Rand?

Hard work does not make the individual rich, it makes his/her boss or company owner richer. Knowing how to network with the right people gets you money.

Also, anyone who has ever been in an office or work enviroment knows that the people who squeal to upper management get promotions faster than the worker bees who actually do a good job.

Don't forget Brett Favre. He was addicted to Vicodin. Should he be sharing a cell with Limbaugh, Kennedy et al?

One distinction here. Favre and Limbaugh both had physical conditions that got them hooked. Limbaugh has neck/disc problems. Favre was getting pounded in the NFL every week. I don't think that's the same as taking pills for no medicinal purpose and then getting hooked.

Good post jsp. You know what really upsets me about life?

I just find it displeasing that their are tons of people out there who are extremely selfish, and greedy...Not only that, but ruthless too man.

Im talking about the kinds of people that will kill you for a dollar. The kinds of people that like to fuck someone over for a dollar. The better him than me kinda guy, the every man for himself kinda guy....So much selfishness, greed...we see it today how oil companies like to such people pockets, and not giving 2 shits about them. The whole world hates these people, think they give a fuck? This may possibly lead to an economic slowdown? They don't give a fuck, they filled their pockets anyway....Other people out there are struggling man, who cares? We made our money, better them than me.

Anyway, my point is, why can't there ever be that feeling of togetheredness? That feeling of unity! Thats what the Lord sent us here for...To help each other! Be caring, giving, show people you have a good heart, be a good samaritan. There is none of that here on planet earth!! Why does society allow people to live off the streets and not giving 2 sh*ts about them? Lets feed these people man, take care of them, they are one of us....Instead, I see people walk by stare, laugh at them like they don't belong here, or even worse snob them out like their nothing...Cold hearted, some people have no character, it's sad!

Too many people with these kinds of attitudes are gonna destroy this world...Man is gonna destroy this world, the bible says the same thing.

Because too many people out there have no character. We run this planet....and simply their are too many people that have not grown up, they lack intelllegence and have no conscious....They don't realize whats going on in this world, and think how we can change things to make it a better place....for the better to keep us strong, healthy, loved, and united...It ain't about selfishness, greed...its about understanding, loving, giving, caring, all that....if we did that, those simple things, this world would be a great place.

Too many people have a devilish mentality, ultimately that is what will destroy us and the world....its sad

[QUOTE=Lonewolf Ed]Shhhh......some would rather not deal with the facts, when exaggeration and hyperbole are much more fun!
Again, you miss the point of his emotional rant.

People, you don't seem to get it. Facts do not interest people who are committed to demonizing those with which one disagrees.

Seems to me that there is a conflict. If drug addiction isn't illegal, but drugs are, how do you get to point B without passing point A?

The fact that people lie, BS, and generally run end around "tough" issues amazes me. Crack is an incredible high, so I'm told. Crack is illegal. Don't do crack, never become a crack addict. Problem solved.

Person A has an old injury that requires pain killers. Person A no longer has problems, but continues to take painkillers due to the high he feels from the drugs. The painkillers begin to wreak havoc on Person A's life. Should Person A take responsiblity for his actions, or fall back on some sorry this-and-that excuse for doing what you know has been a debilitating event of his life?

crack must be an incredible high...

i've seen it ruin many people's lives...

that's why i won't even try it, i might like it...
