I think the above in red explains a lot about you.I'm watching Fox news tonite, and on Geraldo there was a pretty good discussion on the legalization of pot. I guess subway isn't canceling Phelps endorsements. If nothing else it is putting the spotlight on pot legalization, or at least decriminalization.
Yes, it certainly does, Med. It says that he's much better informed on both sides of the issues than you are.I think the above in red explains a lot about you.

I was beating back Dick Cheney who was trying to bust through the perimeter. Turns out he ate some space cakes and wasn't adjusting well. He did however invite me to go hunting sometime...Jax why was you ducking...I told you I'd make you famous!
That explains the chick with the pink hair bumming everyone out in the melkweg when she walked around yelling "THERE ARE NO MORE PINK SPACE CAKES!"I was beating back Dick Cheney who was trying to bust through the perimeter.

Slapped into the stocks in the town square..........
And then move onto my alternative to the stocks.Poire d'angoisser - the Pear of Anguish; the Spanish Mouth Pear; or the Oral, Rectal and Vaginal Pear (for those with less-easily offended sensibilities) - is a hideously cruel device.
It was made of four 'leaves' which joined together by a hinge at the top. A screw inserted between the leaves could be turned to slowly separate the four lobes of the 'pear', expanding the orifice into which it had been inserted. The torturer could choose whether to simply distend the cavity, or expand the pear to it's absolute maximum and mutilate the prisoner.
Of course, the orifice which was on the receiving end of the pear was symbolic of the offense - heretics received the oral pear, passive male homosexuals received the anal pear, and women who had intercourse with Satan were in receipt of the vaginal pear.
These devices were much more intricately decorated than many other tools of the trade, bordering on works of art. It is doubtful, however, that the embellishments made much difference to anyone who experienced the torture of the "Pear of Anguish".
And then maybe... if we still aren't satisfied onto thisThe gibbet or hanging cage was a ubiquitous sight throughout Europe. Made of slats of wood or iron, in myriad shapes and sizes, this device served as a simple punishment (the victim was displayed and eventually freed) or a slow, brutal execution (the victim was left to the elements, facing eventual death).
The bodies of executed highwaymen, covered in tar for preservation, were often displayed in these cages along rural routes. It was thought that this presentation would deter other thieves.
The remains were usually left in the cages until the bones fell apart. To discourage friends and relatives from attempting to retrieve the body, some cages were studded in nails.
This is another infamous device that was used in Spain in order to extract information from prisoners. Often the mere mention of or glance at the machine was enough to warrant a wealth of information from the condemned.
If the answers were not as easily forthcoming, the prisoner would be locked into the machine, face down with the head through the upper pillory and the legs firmly strapped at the other end. At this point, information was again requested. If the prisoner refused, the spiked drum was slowly rotated one full revolution. Again the questions were asked. If the prisoner still refused, weights were stacked upon his back and the process of rotating the drum began again. This continued until the inquisitors obtained the information that satisfied their interest or the condemned perished through slow disembowelment.
Yes, you're exactly correct NG. If Med were to watch Fox on occasion, in addition to the communist station (LinkTV) that he usually watches, he'd have a more balanced perspective on things. So would you, by the way.I think you mean informed from the conservative right's point of view.
