Man, I could go on and on about these people, but I can't stop laughing long enough.
Now, I know some of you are saying, "it's not funny. There was a kid in the car," but I'm not worried...because Obama will save him!
They have to be high to find each other attractive...
I think their mugshots should be blown up to poster size. That's a successful anti-drug campaign right there.
Looks like he has caught her eye.
which one, the left or the right?
That's what you call, Bo-fus eyes.
When I fist saw this report I though it was about Dr. House...Looks just like him.
I wonder how people would feel if this article actually said this:
The Scott County Sheriff's Department arrested a Benton couple Friday on suspicion they were carrying alcohol in a car with a child present.

Vannetta Wells
A search turned up suspected alcohol on Parks, and Wells handed the deputy two bottles containing what was believed to be scotch wiskey, the news release said. A 4-year-old child was also in the car, and was in the vehicle when the scotch was allegedly purchased, the news release said.

I wonder how long we would tolerate prohibition of alcohol AGAIN! By far the most dangerous abused drug on the planet and certainly a huge revenue generator for our Government. Prohibition does not work and never will!

Nice one Greywolf!
Well I guess since alcohol is legal and marijuana is not people would probably feel indifferent.
O.K. one4kids, Let's try it this way:

My God you just can not fix stupid!
Dumb and Dumber!
One4kids,
you missed my point! Prohibition has not worked with alcohol or tobacco nor will it ever work with Marijuana. Even the prohibition of prostitution is a joke. Smoking pot and prostitution are far less dangerous than alcohol combined! My point, prohibition creates black markets which increase crime. The lure of non taxable income is the fuel that feeds the crimes.
There has to be a better way to deal with the issue of prohibition.
Gman, I haven't laughed that hard all day! lmbo!!

Well thank you for the compliment. You know if you think about it. She could keep one eye on her bag of dope and the other eye on the other dope.

Let's think this logic through . . . Stealing is a crime. Since stealing is a crime, then the prohibition against stealing fuels the black market for stolen goods, which in turn creates more crime??? HUH??? Same logic!!! So . . . any law that prohibits something, fuels it's black market?? and that's your reason!!! You've got to be kidding!!!
No Bond YOU have to be kidding! It seems you don't know your history very well do you?
I have had all I want of you. Your last post tells me your only in this for the sake of ignorant argument! I don't want to play!
Grow up and please don't respond to any of my comments unless you have something important to add! What doe stealing have to do with prohibition of marijuana or any thing else for that matter? How ridiculous your last post sounds.
Go back to yoor desk job Bond and I sure hope the department gives you a mental exam soon!
Wolf, your posts are sooooooo far "LEFT" you think you're "right"!!! I simply pointed out your crazy argument. So legalization of marijuana, prostitution, ALL Drugs, solves the problem??? How??? We'll still have addicts, people will still steal to get money to purchase the "legal" drugs, and there we are still in the same place.
Remember "Free Speech" wolf, one of those rights you sooooo ferociously expound on. Don't be sooo rude Wolf, mental exam?? department??? desk job??? Wow, you are growling today!!!
Greywolf-couldnt have said it better myself.
Bond, help me here if you will.
Do you advocate police officers NOT having to take a mental exam to get hired and follow-up
exams after being hired? Yes, I said department because your post paint a picture of you being a police officer or at the least a retired one!
As for your comment about "free speech" that I so "ferociously expound" on, is a bit over stated.
Frankly I don't recall any recent (this year) comments from me on that subject. If you would like to debate that issue I will be happy to at anytime. By the way I NEVER siad decriminlization would solve the drug problem Bond! I do however think its a good place to start! Its more than obvious you have no desire to find middle ground on our debates concerning police power and or the drug issue. I appreciate and read all your comments. I also do my best to be somewhat respectful as I believe you do as well. Lets leave this issue and move on to the others. We have much more issues to disagree on anyway.
