Where have you gotten this 'education'? THC is hardly addictive, only slightly psychological. Like food. Heck, a larger percentage of people in the western world that eat get psychologically addicted / health problems with food, then people that do marijuana get psychologically addicted /heath problems from marijuana.

Nicotine is FAR more addictive, as is alcohol. I don't see your problem with Marijuana, a drug that has proven to be one of the most harmless drugs out there.

I also kinda agree with universal but I am still not too sure. The question of whether or not this would cause an increased number of drug users still remains. We wouldn't want too many additional drug users because that would decay so many precious American minds but then again it's better than having a bunch of cocaine and heroine users running around.[/b]
Well, people in the Netherlands can buy marijuana in shops, and we don't have that much drug users here to my knowledge. I remembered reading that in America, more people/teenagers smoke weed then here.

How does marijuana decays 'precious American minds'? Do you think that if you smoke weed once or twice a month with your friends you turn into a worthless, criminal, people-killing slacker? People can function just fine if they do marijuana every now and then like in the weekend. I saw this documentary about medical marijuana in the US, and this lawyer said he smokes 3 joints a day, an amount that probably only 5% or less of the marijuana users in the US smoke, and he functioned fine at his job.

Drugs aren't as dangerous as you think. Nascar is dangerous too, and it gives the people that do it a high to, but you don't see that getting banned : / Drugs have risks like any other thing, thus it should be controlled (not forbidden) by the government, to make sure people use it responsibly.

Please correct me wrong here, as I am not TOO familiar with the show and I might have the wrong interpretation here... buttt...

For one, they couldn't throw one of those people in jail. They haven't actually DONE anything yet. They can't be convincted of anything, because they didn't actually do anything. Even if they were convicted for "intent" to do something (which I don't think would happen), it would obviously not be for very long. I think that national humiliation would just make them much, much more agressive/sociopathic because of how mad they are at the world. They probably wouldn't care too much about "subtletly."[/b]
Actually, I saw this movie of this pedophile that got caught 2 times in a month on the same show : ) Pretty silly. And yes, national humiliation might make them even worse. This makes me wonder: there has to be one of those pedophiles that shot himself after that show.. kind of hard to make friends again after that show airs.
