| BANNED Posts: 2,630 | These ditto heads rallying around Limbaugh seem to conveniently forget he's on probation for narcotic doctor shopping, and using his maid as a mule. He is forced to pee in a cup when ever the court decides that is needed. His probation is based on his actions to keep his nose, and any other apendage clean.If you were on probation for narcotics would you risk carrying a Rx internationally that wasn't in your name? |

And why should he even feel the need to hide it. If it was good enough for Bob Dole it shouldn't be a big deal for Limbaugh. The question should be, what are those other, unidentified drugs? Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. | |

I hadn't read that far when I posted that. But that doesn't mean it's a cover-up. The media is often so anxious to get a story out, they do so before getting all the facts straight. I would like to know if there were other drugs, though. "...with like-minded people one cannot discuss.

![]() Fire the Liars Location: California Posts: 7,090 | The email from CBS News confirmed there were other drugs. They just arent saying what. Something tells me, if it were anyone else we would know what those other drugs were. He could have gotten his stash of Oxy-Contin from over there. (I admit, that part is speculation). |

As Wailer wrote in his post, he was poking fun in a situation that has probably been blown out of proportion because of Limbaugh's high profile. No pun intended. I don't see the harm in a little humor. If you can't take the heat, well, you know what to do. No one was smearing anyone here. That aside, give it up underbear. You constantly raise the issue of sexual preference in your posts. Anyone can go back and look at any of your posts and clearly see that you usually reference "queers" and the gay lifestyle you lead. There are other gay members here who do nothing of the kind. They make occasional references to their sexual preferences when appropriate, but no where near the volume that you do here. Perhaps you would do well to take example from them and tone down your activist demeanor when it is irrelevant. You are preaching to the choir around here. We all respect the gay lifestyle and our gay members here, so quit trying to smear me with your activist rhetoric. I'm not buying it, so sell it somewhere else, please. You may just get more mileage from it elsewhere. You wrote:Saying because someone is detestable, and since gay is the slur du jour, therefore there's no harm in an insinuation is BULLSH*T! I say: J Edgar Hoover was detestable and he was a closet gay, is this one of your, what was that phrase you used, "slurs du jour"? No, it isn't. But in 1950, by your logic, this would have been a slur? You can't say with absolute certainty, Limbaugh's sexual preferences, so your speculation is merely that, speculation. Maybe he is "bi", maybe he is hetero, maybe he is a closet gay, WHO IN THE HELL CARES ? Certainly not me. No one really knows except Limbaugh. So, I will poke fun at anyone I wish to without a care to whether you judge it moral or immoral, right or wrong, or humorous or boring. Your judgements, not withstanding here, do not make my day.

| Retired Posts: 7,312 | Well, they wouldn't know if he broke any laws if he didn't get arrested. I might be breaking laws right now but no one will know if I don't get caught!

Misdemeanors are not arrestable, unless you are on probation. If he thumbs his nose at ANY law, no matter how trite it may seem, he should go to prison because thats exactly what happens to everyone else. Thats how we would know if he broke any law. He would get arrested. Except maybe in Jeb Bush World. Where criminals are catered to. | |

I guess I missed his trial. It seems to me that the authorities are overlooking the incident as they often do with high profile people of any political persuasion. And to address your reference to Jeb Bush on crime statistics and causation see the link below. http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-toughcrime.htm Fromthe link: Hiring more police officers and throwing more people into prison does not reduce crime -- in fact, those states which pursue this strategy tend to have the highest crime rates. And this is true internationally as well; the nations with the toughest approach to crime have the most of it. What are the real causes crime? Scholars lately have been drawn to two particular explanations: media violence and income inequality. Conclusions from the charts in the link: So crime is significantly correlated to police and corrections spending, incarceration rates and high-school dropout rates. Surprisingly enough, the correlation between poverty and crime is not too significant. However, as mentioned above, Harvard and Berkeley have found that income inequality correlates much more strongly with crime than poverty. In fact, these studies find that income inequality correlates with most of the nation's social problems. Brien the Iceberg If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. M.T. | |

| Redskins Rule Location: South-Western Virginia Posts: 2,471 | Brien- I find it interesting that you would quote a study that seems to illustrate a point that I have been trying to make to right-wingers and libertarians for a long time: That income inequlity is bad,bad,bad. If all those CEO's who have been creating greater and greater income disparity in the country are just doing what the market wants them to do and the market will correct for any harm and no regulation is necessary, how is it that this very bad result comes of what both of the groups I mentioned would claim to be simply the right and natural result of a properly opperating and rightly unregulated market? All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard - Tell me, could that be you? John Kay |

Ever read Aristotle? His sentences are waaaaaaayyyyyy longer than mine and most people think he made some pretty valid points. Care to comment on the issue? Or would that take more words than you think are "acceptable" for expressing an idea?

The second is income inequality. Although absolute poverty levels do not correlate too significantly with the crime rate (see chart below), income inequality does, strangely enough. Two separate studies, one from Harvard, the other from Berkeley, compared state crime rates to their income inequality rates, and[i] found that the states with the most inequality had the highest rates of homicide, violent crime and incarceration. The reason why is still being explored, but potential explanations include psychological reasons, and the fact that prices of needed goods and services are relative too, even in a rich country. Please note the last sentence it states:The reason why is still being explored. . The study specifically states that psychological reasons are factors. Also, if inequality in income promotes a greater crime rate, it does not necessarily mean governmnent can solve the problem. The fact that a small number of citizens, like CEO's are disproportionate in their income probably doesn't have much of an impact upon crime. I think the study is suggesting the income disparity is in general populations. And neither does the study suggest that government will provide, or even should provide, the solution. The study states: if the many social differences of these nations contribute to a lower crime rate, Americans should consider adopting these social policies for themselves. It says nothing about government imposing these social policies upon its citizens.. This is my take on the study. Obviously you see it differently and probably would suggest that government impose controls on income in order to reduce crime. As you know, I would be opposed to such "solutions." But this is a diversion in the thread. You point is duly noted. Brien the Iceberg If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. M.T. | |
