Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

In 1971 Richard Nixon called drugs
"the modern curse of youth"
And to solve this "modern curse of youth" he fought it the best way to fight something. He did what anyone in his position would do. Democrat or Republican it doesn't matter. People do it all the time. All you need to do is put a three letter word in front of any problem and it starts to look like a huge problem. A problem that's so big so out of control. It must be fought until the end.
Well how do you fix this problem? You fight it. You use every single resource you can. You do what ever you need to do to fix this so-called "curse". Well you just need a way to get everybody behind you. A way people will want to help you and a way for everyone to stand behind one another, a bond, something that every person can in some way or another come together and help one another. And maybe not eveyone, but most people deep down really do believe thier is a problem or "curse". Nobody wants to live a bad society or have to worry if thier loved ones might be hurt. It might have just been a way to show his tough stand on crime.
Nixon didn't really start it. It started over time, but it was not nearly anything that it was made out to be. When he put that word in front of it. That changed everything. It was now something else. Something that had to be put in check. At any cost.
You were told "your either for them or against them." "If you are for them. Your part of the problem." And your going to prison. That what the papers were saying. Everyone was saying it at the time. Does that make it true? This is a war. In a war like this. There are no rules. You have to make the rules as you as go. If you wait to make rules for this your not gonna win. Nobody wants to lose a $17.9 Billon a year and growing War.
Today in 2004 it's costing every single one of us on this board and also all over the U.S. aprox $600 a second. And that's only the cost in monetary value. I personaly don't think we will ever even be able to put a price on the innocent lives murdered. We can stop it!
Nixon launched the most trajic war this country would ever see on it's own willing people :
"The War on Drugs"
It doesn't matter why he did it anymore. What matters is TODAY and it's still going to destroy innocent people and thier families tommorow. Rape U.S. citizens of rights granted once to all of us. Rights that were once so important. Rights that needed to be written in to law, so they couldn't be changed and a judge would not later be able to say: they think this is what it means. Think? It's written. What is there to think about. Rights that made people, average people, everyone who wanted just a few things. Rights that were once so important. We made a choice. A choice to die for. We went to war and died. So later others wouldn't have to do the same. They wouldn't even have to think about making a choice.
But the problem is every day they take just a litte. But once you give them a little they want more. Whats a little more? We already forgot about the little bit that was taken away awhile ago. So this time it's only a little bit and we don't notice it again. And again. And again. Pretty soon you don't have anything. Does that matter? Because you get used to not having much. And when not very much isn't that much, it's hard to say if you really even had something to be taken away to begin with. How will you know when to much is......to much?
