    and no, dude, it isn't the majority that want this. it is the minority, otherwise it would be legal.

    "In any society where one group (an elite) outlaws things wanted by the majority - drugs, sex, gambling -, people will appear who will supply the service. The yakuza, mafia, or whatever would all disappear if these were made legal. Whether legal or illegal, the same people will use drugs, for example. It is not like every single person in the world will get hooked on drugs if they are legalized. If we were all hooked on drugs we couldn't make war, but that is another story..."

    That is one of the biggest fallacies out there. Let's look at prostitution for example. Usually, the prostitues are women. Who likes to control women? Some men with issues. So it becomes legal to get rid of them. Wait a tic, these same men like control. So, they keep up their pimping and violent ways. Why? not because it's illegal, but because it is money they don't have to work for. That is why Amsterdam made prostitution legal so it could be "controlled" and "regulated" by the gov't to stop this type of action. But I do remember reading that they are finding that it hasn't really stoppped or slowed down the bad things that happens to these women by men who need to control others. What needs to happen here is for the cops/beaurocrats/elected "officials" to stop being such corrupt cowards and actually help the problem by enforcing the laws. As it is, that will never happen because no one will willingly stop taking a paycheck to do what needs to be done.

    I think ledger did the best, as far as hitting the spirit of the Joker from the source material.

    jeez. some of you are putting way too much thought into this. here, let me break it down: the price of a ticke from airport A to airport D costs X dollars. if you are under 130kg or whatever number is set, the price of the ticket remains X. if you are over the body weight, regardless of how you carry it, your ticket is X + however much they decided to charge by weight. how hard is that? for those of you who are offended by that, too bad. no one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to be huge.

    the gov't isn't involved with the example of mothers that you gave me. that is one person. and no, saying something like that, and then getting sued for what you said is not an infringement on freedom of speech. you are free to say it, and someone else is free to be offended.

    what are you babbling about going to prison for speaking against a point in history? you are in paranoia-land if you think that is true. show me an example of where that has happened.

    what sort of things do you think you can say that anglo's aren't allowed to? hmmm? if it's some stupid crap like what I hear some african-americans saying, then yes, they are allowed to say it and the anglo's aren't. but that is only because the african americans say that can't and throw a huge fit if anyone does. there is FAR, FAR, more freedom of speech in american than china. try again.

    "There is no freedom of speech in America right now. Anything you say you can either get arrested or sued or a loss of a job." - skipthesong

    You really have no idea what you are talking about. Freedom of speech does not have anything to do with getting sued, or losing a job. Freedom of speech does not protect you from any and all repercussions. Why would you think that the freedom of speech would let you say anything without consequences? It has never done that.

    where do you guys come up with this stuff? think about it. ever heard of crowd control? how would YOU guarantee the safety of your politicians without putting some sort of restrictions on where the public is allowed to gather en masse? some of you guys see shadows and your brain tells you cover up, suspension of liberties, cats and dogs living together...

    could it be not that they are "running away" from their horribly opprssive countries, but may actually want to see other parts of the world? people still move locales for that reason you know.

    uh, superlib, why would it take the internet to imply that? it can be flat out said in the us, contrary to the paranoia of some posters here.
