The Ten Commandments...

while the Lord has condemed those that kill, he has allowed justice to be served to execute murders and other such criminals. Wars are also a tolerable reason to kill int he Lords eyes. Incidents such as Waco (where the fire may have been started by Koresh[however u spell it]) were just blunders, not common practice...although not excusable either.

High taxes are not stealing. When Jesus was asked whether it was acceptable to pay taxes when it was written that money was evil he asked the man who's pic was on a denari (gold coin issued by Rome). The man replied "Ceasar" and Jesus said, "give to Ceasar what is Ceasars, Give to God what is Gods".

Just because individuals within the govt are lax on their morals it does not condem the govt as a whole. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater

see number 3

Saying In God we Trust is not considered taking his name in vain....thats like saying "using His name when saying grace is using it in vain"

The govt was written by white christians so there is apparent refferances to christianity within the govt, but the system also seperates church and state (although the money thing is a contradiction)


btw shouldn't u have titled this as the six commandments?

*note* i am not supporting the govt as a whole, as i do believe many things should be changed within this country, but i hate to see blatent disregard for the respect that our govt deserves....that is the backbone to our country, which IMHO is the greatest country in the world.

 

three cheers for you my friend

dawodin that was an exelently put respose

i dont condon much of what goes on in the world today
nor can i do anything about it
i can only change things in myself not others

and sertainly not others with satilites witch can pick me out in a crowd or anywhere elts for that mater

no offence patriot i thought your post was funny
and im shure thats what you intended

 

im not shuer what the hemp car had to do with the commandments but it is a wonderful idea
there are 1000,s of uses for the hemp plant witch we are denied use of do to our over involved government


keep toking

 

Patriot.
I dont belive in god, and no offence to god lovers but i feel that the government and religion ARE the
same.
all wars are started from religous or political reasons.
everybody needs something to belive in, may it be god, buddah, or chevrolet.
As for the government and marijuana, they cannot make it legal because they wont make any money.
Why? you might ask.
look how many people are detained for marijuana.
look @ the revenue that it brings.
Some people say then tax weed.I'll pay taxes to smoke weed.
WILL YOU?
It will grow with no problem in all 50 states.
ARE YOU going to pay taxes on a plant you can grow at home?

NOT ME.

 

as far as taxing weed they would sell licinces to peole to grow mass amouts and tax all thoes who were to lazy or had no green thumb too grow with yes most of us would grow our own or know someone who did but even we mite buy some from the store every once and a wile jest for something diff


anyhow who cares what excuse they use to legalize as long as they do it


hear in alaska they are puting a vote on the balit this year
to make it legal to sell dope in liqur stores

ill be voteing this year for shure

 

Of course you are speaking in a state level of government.
Lets see what happens @ the federal level if the law passes.
The state can legalize what they want but the federal government does not have to follow.
Ask Californians.
Now i'm not saying it wont help out to vote because that is the only way it will ever get legalized.
We just dont have enough states putting it on the ballot.
and not enough people that are willing to get out and vote for what they believe in.
by the way I was actually born in wragell, Ak.
I hope to go back some day.

Vote for legalization of Marijuana.Medical or for recreation.
Dont drink and drive smoke and thrive.

 

I just thought i'd add that you only posted 6 of the ten commandments. The fedral government does not have to follow any state legislation. If any state was to legalise Marijuanna, the government could still arrest you in that state.


The main reason the Fedral government wouldn't legalise marijuanna is because of power and control. Right now they control the smokers of the US by making MJ illegal.

 

as far as state vs federal goes
cali lacks the advantage of being totaly seperated from the rest of the country
alaska is only accsessable by air or by sea
unless you want to drive all the way thru canida
believe it or not this fact makes us differnt
there are even thoes who are trying to
make alaska a seperate contry

the free alaska political party is one of your party afiliation
choices when you register to vote

so maby alaska wont ever become a seperate contry but
hell at least there trying


and becouse of there seperation they can get away with things other states cannot if yyou are a perminent resident you receive a check from the state yech year for 600-1000 dollars per resident in your house hold

i never heard of shuch a thing till i came here


not to menchin i have been told by many of the natives here that pot was legil here untill about 10 yrs ago
and you had to have over a 1/4 pound in order to be charged for a criminal offence

 

The Vietnam was to stop the spread of communism (thats wut it was labeled as anyway...i dont think they went about it in a good fashion)

The sept 11 attacks would not have been prevented if we used hemp oil because the attacks were in response to american military bases on holy land, the creation of the Israli nation and several other things

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp ( i thought that was an interesting fact)

if that law in alaska passes i shall be takin a few trips up there

 

You should come visit anyways, the herb and the scenery are definately worth it...if you ever make it here look me up and we'll smoke a bowl ...

 

^^this guys hella smart

 

Patriot I agree with all that you are saying. I still think there are more things that the US could do to help us.

I know that some people are going to dis agree with this.

The US needs to take care of it's own with it's own instead of giving so much to other countries. I thought the ten commandments were to help our country take care of itself. Now the government does not acknowledge them unless it helps their cause.
For the people by the people? I have to ask how the government would define that phrase.
