Blackberry cameras are notorious for being blurred and crap. I'm expected to use my work phone to send them images of damaged items and they complain about the quality of the pics all the time.

i felt empty first time i watched it, like all good in life drained outta me

How does that make it a shit film? It makes it the opposite, surely, as it's had an intended effect. A shit film leaves you feeling nothing towards it or the subject matter. A shit film can't do that to you, IMO.

So if you feel really shit after watching a film, it must have been good?

Cool logics bro

If the film has made you feel shit then it has been successful, if that's what it was trying. If it's a successful film it's good, taste/opinion can still make you think it's rubbish to you if you like, but that doesn't make it a rubbish film in itself.

amaericans have lots of prisons so they dont need to worry about over crowding like us who have to keep 1 person to a cell and give them tv etc as their human rights

American prisons can hire out their "workforce" and prisons can be run by companies.

tldr version, prison companies donate to governors and district attorneys ( elected parts of legal sytem...sigh ), to keep "strict" sentencing which gives them a veritable supply of cheap labour to profit from.
It's pretty disgusting, especially when you learn what % of these "prisoners" are black.

so you're basically saying it's state sponsored slavery? (I was going to say forced labor, but couldn't decide which term was best to apply)

In practical terms yes.
Of course in strongly republican states this percentage goes up massively ( ie southern states ).

http://www.gibbsmagazine.com/blacks_in_prisons.htm

U.S. incarceration rates by race, June 30, 2006:
  • Whites: 409 per 100,000​
  • Latinos: 1,038 per 100,000​
  • Blacks: 2,468 per 100,000​
Gender is an important "filter" on the who goes to prison or jail, June 30, 2006:​
  • Females: 134 per 100,000​
  • Males: 1,384 per 100,000​
Look at just the males by race, and the incarceration rates become even more frightening, June 30, 2006:​
  • White males: 736 per 100,000​
  • Latino males: 1,862 per 100,000​
  • Black males: 4,789 per 100,000​
If you look at males aged 25-29 and by race, you can see what is going on even clearer, June 30, 2006:​
  • For White males ages 25-29: 1,685 per 100,000.​
  • For Latino males ages 25-29: 3,912 per 100,000.​
  • For Black males ages 25-29: 11,695 per 100,000. (That's 11.7% of Black men in their late 20s.)​

I've seen or heared even worse numbers. Not sure where, but I thought it said something like 1/4 of Afro Americans have seen jail before their 25th birthday.

Yes if life was as easy as that.

Critics have lambasted the United States for incarcerating a large number of non-violent and victimless offenders;half of all persons incarcerated under state jurisdiction are for non-violent offenses, and 20% are incarcerated for drug offenses (in state prisons, federal prison percentages are higher).

The population of inmates housed in prisons and jails in the United States exceeds 2 million, with the per capita incarceration population higher than that officially reported by any other country.

Smoking a blunt in the state of California can give you 3 years or something? Lets not even start about the 3 strike law (New York amongst others?)... The percentage of people that's in jail in the US is just crazy. If you looked at race you'd think you'd lived 150 years back in time.

Obviously something's wrong with it.

Add a map of family values and poverty to that map and might see a bit of a correlation ;)

Twas speaking to people on DAoC, especially a bloke called WimmpWommp who was from Cali - he said you can just go to your doctors, slip him $100 and say, I have a bad back, have I not? and he writes you a note, then you can legally smoke ganj

You can go to any 'Kush Doctor' in cali and buy a medical card for a couple dollars and your good to go, just go into any smoke shop and take your pick once you have your card. It's Nevada which has the insanely strict policy on it. I have a pic of a typical call card also in my wallet, will post it up later.

And it's mostly because the inner city areas and ghettos are all inhabited by blacks and latinos.. you only hit white people when you come to the suburbs, also i'd say 90% of the homeless (and fuck me there is alot) were black. There is also an extremely heavy police presense in these areas and the obvious racism that follows.

You're going to post a picture of a card you possess that may, in this context, be considered a ganjacard that isn't for its intended(by law) purpose? :cautious:

This is just a business card, there plenty who hand them out of the street or adverts on the sides of buses and such. Hell there a website for the one company in my pocket (ask if you want some luls). The medical card is umm.. hidden ;D

Toht, he never said that his card wasn't legal he was saying that you COULD get it illegally ;)
