Drinking/Drugs
Legalizing drugs will lessen crime and violence in addition to freeing up law enforcement to address any rise in crime and violence. As cited, in your post as well as earlier in this post, legalizing drugs allows drug-addicts to get the help they need which would also mitigate drug-addiction fueled crime. I know what legalisation will do, I've been studying up on it for a while now. However, taking welfare off of people who fail a drug test isn't going to help the addicts at all.

Do I really need a citation to show that addicts will commit crimes to fuel their habits?

That's only going to encourage crime and violence.

FBI-related site Hacked
I applaud what they are doing. If they actually want to do it to help the companies, they'd keep it private: do the hacking and then contact the company saying, "Look what I did. Up your security." Reading the quote above, it really sounds like they're just doing it for fun, because they can, and to see how much they can get away with. Oh please, people have been doing that for decades, even being arrested for helping out the companies in these ways. The fact that people still store passwords in a plain text file show that being discreet does not work. If discretion doesn't work then your best bet is the other extreme, as vocal and obvious as possible. If people can gain access to my information like that I want to be informed. Especially since there have been cases where companies haven't acted out on the information given to them for months, as I discovered as part of an assignment for TAFE.

If they're so poor-off that they require state assistance they shouldn't be spending that money on any currently-illicit drugs, with obvious exceptions (not that it's illicit now but cough medication, etc) and special circumstances (marijuana for cancer patients). Also, morphine is classified as a controlled substance in most(?) countries as well as internationally. Never been to a hospital before? Numerous patients on morphine. There are also other similar drugs you can obtain legally. Here in Australia you can get what's called a green whistle, which is a small inhaler which looks like a green whistle and contains a small amount of methoxyflurane. It's given out by paramedics and hospitals as a short-term pain reliever. My friend had one when stacked his skateboard out the front of the hospital and ripped some skin off of his forearm. If he was on welfare then they could have taken him off it simply from consuming something that the government hospitals gave him. People on welfare can already spend their money on drugs (alcohol, caffeine) and also on whatever the hell they want (gambling, tvs, computers, gaming consoles, pools, the list goes on) without any government intervention, why would something new change that system?

Today...
Holy [bleep] we got hammered last night. Was at my friend's house warming party, he was drunk by 4 and I by 6. I had a lot of vodka w/ oj. We were seriously talking about getting a stripper, but we got distracted by something on YouTube and forgot about the idea. Later on we went to the pub and somehow managed to play pool before crossing the road and spending 5 minutes trying to figure out what pizza we were going to get. There was other things, but I can't remember what. I need to try jello shots some time, and I'll try bringing those pants back over here if I can find some.

I'd like to take a moment, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary, to thank the US government for the fact that the war on drugs has been ensuring that my country's dollar rises even higher above theirs, and that my drugs become even cheaper and less cut. People can side-step that by taking drugs you can legally obtain such as morphine and DXM. The only time I can see drug testing as useful is for people such as pilots and people working with heavy machinery. Maybe the army. Even then, only testing for the drugs that would have serious negative effects in their ability to work.

I, too, want my motorbike licence. Too bad mum says I can't get a motorbike if I don't have a car even though a motorbike would be cheaper and cost less over time. She's a force to be reckoned with when she gets mad so I'll wait till I meet her demands. I saw a guy run a red light today, if the cars that had the green light weren't having to go up the hill to reach the intersection he would have t-boned one of them. I really hope that idiot drives into a tree, may the tree then rest in peace.

You can get both Lugia and the garden tool bird on Soul Silver, which is also the game you get Latios and Groudon on. Soul Silver really synergises better with Sapphire than Ruby. EDIT: Latios, not Latias. Thanks Mask.
