	The New Anti-Drug Commercial Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Just broadcast during the Super Bowl was the accusation that people who use "drugs" might be helping to fund terrorists. Naturally this commercial made no distinctions among "drugs" since the intent was to attack people who use any of a wide variety of illegal drugs, not the people who use only those drugs like heroin and opium that might have been sold by terrorists.

Is there no limit to the hypocrisy of these freedom haters? Diamonds, oil and stocks are also probably used by terrorists as well as paper currency, but we don't see these hypocrites condemning all the people who use these. The US government was giving our "tax" money to the Taliban before 9/11, doesn't that mean US politicians and taxpayers were funding terrorists? I don't know how supporters of prohibition can stomach the hypocrisy and immorality of punishing people based on what others have done...

So does this mean I have an excuse to start growing my own marijuana, then? After all, I'd no longer be supporting the terrorists!

Yeah I expect serious backlash over that bullshit.

faded, saying that by using cocaine you are supporting terrorism is like saying that because you drink alcohol you support drunk driving. It doesn't compute.

Well that's true... so did Great Britain for that example.

The sad thing is, if these people were protecting their corn crop, or whatever, from the government, you'd be cheering them on.

Yeah, but the smoking ads have some basis in fact. Smoking WILL kill you.

Doing drugs doesn't mean you support OBL though.

The irony is corn doesnt kill and then sell itself for 1000% of its real value. Which brings a nice net profit to the dealers. Yup.....everybody but the farmers will get there money's worth.

The tobacco industry is pretty damn profitable though, and it certainly kills you.

And I know for damn sure alcoholism is a problem, and for damn sure I pay way too much for alcohol.

These anti-drug and anti-smoking commercials ought to be stopped, not out of principle, but because they're boring. C'mon, I'm expecting to see some good commercials during the superbowl, not more of this "truth" ****.

But they wouldn't if drugs were legalized, would they

Most of the victims you speak of, as a result of drugs, would not even factor in if drugs were legalized.

Well why the hell not? I'm not sure I can see why alcohol and tobacco (which kill FAR more than drugs) should be legalized, and drugs should not - not even medical marijuana

Christ. Well, if even the slightest connection can be drawn from cocaine to 9/11, and not refuted by freedom-fighting libertarians, then the least they could've done was target cocaine only (like berzerker said).

**** I hope people are smarter than this **** (and the equally ****ed up smoking commercials).
