Thanks buddy! Obviously not meant to be funny but glad you see it as such. Honestly this comes from a conversation with my girl that had I been told 12 years ago where the u.s. would be with mmj and mj I would be in complete disbelief. There is a lot to be happy about out there, lots to be sad about too, guess its just the way you want to look at the cup.I love this post lol!! You are one funny guy savanalona!
this is awesome!!!!!!! go get em!!
Wow I should never underestimate someone bringing up Israel/Palestine in any political conversation, but I am always surprised. For starters, I support Palestine and the Palestinian people, they deserve their land and their freedom from Israeli/ U.S./ and lets not forget the U.K. oppression. My problem with this paper begins with the structure. I say this because as a T.A. for English lit and having to continually correct papers for my friends/family in college I have many basic grammatical problems that I see in the paper which cause me to lose interest in the topic. When I get over these, I see a really weak argument supported by a few cherry picked facts. I say this only in the way the paper is written and not the overall message that he is trying to convey, which I think is a little too confusing. I understand the frustration in President Obama for not coming to help the Palestinians more, but he needs to bring more facts to the table. On one hand he claims that the U.S. under Obama has come to the help of countries in the Middle East in promotion of democracy, but then attempts to criticize Obama for Bush's take on Hamas, not a fair argument. I can only hope we will see some resolution with Obama and that his take with Israel will be more strong and honestly right. That said, this paper regardless of being written by a "doctor" requires much more investigational analysis and citations for me to take it too seriously. Thats just me though and my opinion is not even worth two cents any more, so take it lightly:)! Good read though, I would love to see a more thorough argument though.
Are you a person of color or a minority in this country? I ask this because perspective on racism seems to change drastically in this country depending on race and geographic location. No person, president or otherwise should ever be accused of the racism that has existed in this country since its inception. Honestly, look at the number of open white supremacy groups that popped up immediately after he was elected. That could not ever be the Presidents fault, but seeing a black man at the top of our elected office jarred up some repressed feelings for many in this country. I asked you the first question because I am a minority and grew up in an awful part of the country in regards to racism, experienced shit that I would never like to share openly on a website and was just traveling back through with my wife the other month (she is blond and blue eyed) and she was able to witness first hand some of what I grew up with as we stopped by a local sandwich shop to get a bite to eat and the lady behind the counter refused to take my order.....simply because the color of my skin. If you think a black man can change that type of racism, I am sorry but you are so very wrong on that. Trayvon Martin did look like he could be President Obama's son, and he was rightfully disappointed that the situation of a black teenager getting shot for being black in the wrong neighborhood was still happening in modern day America. Unfortunately, racism will always exist, I even after having experienced racism to the degree I have find myself at times needing to check my unwarranted feelings for others, and that is MY problem not one that the President could really ever help me fix unless of course we were super close friends and he could be with me to remind me of my short-comings.I disagree that Obama is bringing anyone together. He is the most divisive president ever. When he got elected I was really hoping that finally, a (half) black man was president and maybe finally the whole racism thing that people love to bicker about might fade away because of that. Seems like it has only gotten worse. He is in a perfect position to encourage people to forget about race, we're all in this together etc. . . But he loves appointing radicals to the supreme court and getting involved in racial controversy like when trayvon martin got shot Obama said he looked like his son. WTF was that about. Things like that only promote more friction between white and black, I think he dropped the ball on that issue.
Respect, sav.
I'm sure that incident SUCKED....but at least the lady had the indecency and audacity to say it to your FACE.
Some tire of the "race card".....I tire of the closet racism that is so very, very prevalent in our society today. It used to be that the ignorant would wear their racism right upfront, exhibiting it through action or speech without fear.
These days, however, there is more of a practice of HIDING the racism....veiling it in any/all thoughts...but still putting it out there fully. You can feel it when some folks speak about our President. Nothing he can do is right. Everything he has done is wrong. Everything that has happened is his fault...and his fault alone. Guess why? Yup. It's that "We don't serve (respect) your kind" attitude again.
but don't mention it as you walk out the door after being refused service..... 'cus racism isn't happening today in America today....know what I mean?
I wish I woulda been behind you in line, bro. Seriously.
Thanks so much sky, that means the world to me! Yeah the shit sucked, it really threw my girl through a loop as she has never seen anything like that before. Its funny how some full grown adults can hold so much contempt for people they do not know.Respect, sav.

Obama's tone towards white men is "condescending" !!! Dont wana start a political war here on such a great site, BUT total fukin garbarge and I'm as white as they come (skin only) Sounds lik e another libertarian that drank the Koch Bros camo'd conservative cool aid. I love u all please do whats right, we will overcome!
This is... by FAR! the absolute, the dumbest, the most bone-headed thing uttered out of a MMJ patient's mouth. I hope it's a terrible joke of yours.
Let me ask you... Who is gonna foot that bill for the chartering of AF1? Who is going to pay for all that god damn diesel just for Obama and Ms. Golddigger to get their smoke on?
I hope you know that we already are paying for Obama's fucking ultra luxury designer dresses. We are paying for the diesel to fly the daughters to the Nickelodeon Awards... Us tax payers are paying for every god damn thing. You're celebrating other people spending your money that you haven't even made yet...
And on the other note... I shake my head at any poster on this thread that holds enthusiasm towards anybody in presidency. Don't you understand we are the grandest form of slaves on this planet?
God... Hopefully this will open your eyes...
