I see.  When did you stop smoking marijuana? 


Ok, I guess maybe you are as dumb as you appear to be.

I freely admit I've occassionally smoked (only once this year...so far). 

If you think that's relevent then you a truly a moron. 

You're not really that stupid are you?

BTW - why don't give us a simple yes or no as to whether you've ever smoked.

So first you say you don't use drugs (an outright lie), and when I present you with your admission that you are a pothead you say you do smoke weed, but only "occasionally."  Tsk tsk.  Contradicting yourself in the same thread again.  lol. 



Do you still drive under the influence of marijuana?

god you must be an unbearable jackass in real life

how many times have we had this same discussion?

unlike you, I have no problem admitting anything that I do.

You can't answer a simple question because you will reveal yourself to be a hypocrite or a liar

here's a hint for you....don't worry about it.  Everyone already knows you're a hypocrite and liar

Even your children probably know it.

when did I ever say I did that?

You like the "just say no" tag.

Why don't you "just say no" that you've never smoked.

This is a prime example of why people shouldn't smoke pot.  Definitely interferes with an ability to follow discussions.  Just a couple posts up you can find this:

you would really suck as a lawyer.

I didn't say I smoke and drive

I don't need to get behind the wheel of a car to know that I can't drive when I'm stoned

example - you can get drunk and If I ask you if you're ok to drive you would say no

no need to get in a car and test it out

Have you ever smoked?

Do you realize every time you ignore the question the answer is obvious?

Yes straw man.  You didn't say you drive while high, even though you did, just like you don't do drugs, even though you do.  This is too funny.   :)   But I'm about done slapping you around for the day.  Don't smoke too much dope this weekend.

Do you honestly think any of those athletes voted for him based on his policies?  I ask because all of the ones I worked with in college could not put together a coherent thought about why they would vote for him.  I think most athletes, male or female, support abortion because they will likely be paying for one in college at some point.
Hopelessly RACIST.  :(

An article in time online mentions that the pope hasn't offered any comment on the "fake controversy" over Obama and Notre Dame.

It also mentions that 75% of catholics and and US bishops either approve or offer no opinion.

What we do have is a small but very vocal minority which includes professional nutbags like Alan Keyes and Randall Terry with  Keyes actually  pushing around a blood covered baby doll in a stroller.

Serious question - does religion make people bat shit crazy or does religion just attract some people that are already as dumb as a box of rocks and/or crazier than a shithouse rat?

My personal opinion is that a certain segment of people are already borderline retarded/crazy and the never ending need to reconcile their strict religious beliefs with reality forces them into hypocritical and absurd positions and eventually they lose that last tenuous grip they had on their sanity and we end up with people like Keyes, Terry and perhaps even a few posters on this board.

Keyes is still bitter he got run over like roadkill by Obama in the IL senate race. Plus, he is a complete nutcase.

This is true.  People need to focus on the bid issues and gay marriage and abortion are just not important right now.

Pro-Life Activists Converge on Notre Dame to Protest Obama Speech
Hundreds of pro-life activists from across the country are arriving by the busload at Notre Dame with one purpose in mind: to protest President Obama.

By Joshua Rhett Miller

Saturday, May 16, 2009

Hundreds of pro-life activists from across the country are converging on Notre Dame's bucolic campus with one purpose in mind: to protest President Obama.

The university's decision to invite the president, who supports abortion rights, to deliver the commencement address Sunday and to award him an honorary degree has brought protesters to South Bend, Ind., by the busload with their protest signs, some displaying the message "Obama = Abortion" and others showing images of aborted fetuses.

As more than 2,000 students prepare for their graduation ceremony, members of the Pro-Life Action League and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society said they'll congregate at 10:30 a.m. Sunday just off-campus in opposition to the president's support of abortion rights and embryonic stem-cell research.

"I'm going to Notre Dame to be a witness to the truth," Mary Sullivan, a member of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, told FOXNews.com. "As a Catholic, this is not what the church teaches and it slaps in the face of what Catholics believe. We don't believe in using fetuses to supposedly find cures for diseases."

Sullivan, who lives in the Detroit suburb Southfield, Mich., will board a 56-seat bus in Ann Arbor along with her husband and two neighbors to make the trip to South Bend. Another bus, meanwhile, will leave from Detroit.

"My purpose of going is I will pray and meditate," Sullivan said. "And I will pray that people will hear the truth and understand what's going on here. We're trying to change hearts and get people to understand that this truly is intrinsic evil."

Judy Parran, an organizer for the group, said a third bus is currently being procured due to increasing demand. Several priests and nuns are expected to be on board, she said.

"The calls just keep on coming," Parran told FOXNews.com. "I just got an e-mail from a couple of people who aren't even Catholic."

Corrina Gura, an organizer for the Pro-Life Action League, said their group will send a total of four buses -- approximately 220 people.

"A lot of people have told us they're driving separately as well," she said. "People are asking if we're adding other buses."

Pro-Life Action League members also will begin their civil disobedience effort off-campus and then join the Citizens for a Pro-Life Society at the prayer vigil on campus to coincide with the commencement ceremony. Additional arrests are possible, if not expected.

"We're going have graphic pictures of abortion and what abortion does to babies and we'll also have signs that will say 'Obama = Abortion' and 'Shame on Notre Dame,'" Gura said.

Citizens for a Pro-Life Society will be carrying signs ranging from the "very graphic to very simple," Parran told FOXNews.com.

The two groups' approach will differ drastically from that of ND Response, a coalition of student groups that plan to voice their opposition to President Obama with peaceful protest and no graphic signs, beginning with an all-night vigil late Saturday and another vigil on Sunday.

And despite calls from ND Response for the two groups to hold orderly demonstrations, some protesters haven't gotten the message and plan on being escorted off campus in handcuffs.

One of those dissidents is Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in all 50 states in 1973. McCorvey, a born-again Christian who runs Roe No More Ministry in Dallas, flew to South Bend, Ind., on Friday.

"I'm coming because I want to show Mr. Obama that I'm not in favor his pro-abortion stance," McCorvey told FOXNews.com prior to boarding a connecting flight in Cincinnati, Ohio. "I'm a peaceful protester, but if they come and take me away, they'll just come and take me away."

McCorvey said she's especially excited for a meditation to be held by the Rev. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, during Obama's commencement address and the candlelit vigil led by Rev. John D'Arcy, bishop of the Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese who will not attend Sunday's graduation, in protest of the president.

"Hopefully we can convince Mr. Obama that he should be standing on the right side, and that's the side for life," she said. "I'm pro-life now, I'm not afraid."

Asked what she'd say to President Obama if given the opportunity, McCorvey replied, "I can't talk like that anymore. I'm a Christian."

Best Of: Obama Tackles Abortion at Notre Dame

Listen to our great president speak and you might just learn something.  ;)

President Barack Obama strode head-on Sunday into the stormy abortion debate and told graduates at America's leading Roman Catholic university that both sides must stop demonizing one another. (May 17)

I do understand that Obama is a politician and has to walk a tight-rope on this issue but I don't think the Pro-Choice side demonizes the Anti-Abortion side.

Which side does the prepoderance of the protesting, harassment and all the violence?

Which side wants to restrict the other side?

many people who are pro-choice do not belittle the religion of the anti-abortion crowd but certainly there is a segment that does.

On the other hand the anti-abortion crowd includes people that kill doctor and blow up abortion clinics. 

please show me examples of that on the pro-choice side

the pro-choice side actually includes an option for the anti-abortion side....namely "choice".  The right to choose not to have an abortion.

The anti-abortion crowd has no such option for the pro-choice side

I never contested that point of yours only your assumption that the pro choice side doesnt demonize the pro life side  ::) obviously thats not the case...as in your point there are extremist on both sides if you do a little research you will see that there is violence coming from the pro choice side as well...from ppl targeting prominent pro life proponents to men killing women b/c they wont get abortions...

I'm not aware of people targeting pro-life proponents.

The men killing women for not getting an abortion are probably not doing it for ideological reasons......just a hunch.

Anyway, my point of view works for both sides.  If you are against abortion then don't get one.
