New site? Maybe some day. 
|
|
yes on one and two make sense to me. |
|
|
If you vote yes on 1 the next time you want to take something out from the library you'll find the item isn't there because we couldn't afford to get it.
FACT.
(***predicted answer: fuck the library, I'll buy it myself with the money I saved from no taxes, etc.) |
|
|
yes on 1 assumes that the state will magically becoming fiscally responsible because their hand will be forced.
well, my good friends, I say to you, "l-o-fucking-l" |
|
|
I obviously like the idea of no income tax, but there are too many programs that we need, that will have no other funding otherwise. |

OK SO NO MORE INTER-LIBRARY LOANS? AND WHAT OF THE INTERNET AND ONLINE RESOURCES?
LOL* |

they are gonna fucking make cuts anyways on programs anyways.
lets take into consideration that INCOME TAX IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. |

They are totally unconstitutional, that's a fact. Taxing on the individual was an amendment that never went was passed. And i also know that they are making cuts anyways, which they should in fact do, because i agree there is some wasteful spending. But there are still too many programs that would be shut down if the income tax was abolished. |

mass has ten million diff taxes to compensate...and i mean fuck, if your gonna force me to have 'heath insurance,' or penalize me with more taxes (if i cant afford health insurance how could i afford a tax penalty)...then please let me have the opp to keep all the money 'I' earn so that i can allocate it as i see fit. |

I'm voting a big "NO" on question 2. Why would I want an illegal drug decriminalized? Put them fuckers in jail and let them pay the price. It's a GATEWAY DRUG people. Sometimes I wonder if you guys graduated D.A.R.E. |
|
|
will someone please think of the children? |
|
|
yea, drugs are for losers. weed is for hippies. come on guys. |

well everyone needs to vote their own viewpoint.
Just sayin' if you want to use public internet in the library to download that .rar file, there won't be any computers for ya to do that on
I'll be workin' in the academic sector next week anyways, but once the MBLC told me what Question One could mean for public access, I was like, "Oh...shit" |
|
|
nice this will be awesome when it passes or fails and means nothing and everyone ignores the results besides NORMAL. |
|
|
and yes, I was joking. my vote is going to be "FUCK YES" |
|
|
does fuck yes get counted twice but mean just as little? |
|
|
vote yes on question 2 so metalguy can smoke a doob |
|
|
First of all, the arguement that income tax is unconstitutional only applies to federal income tax.
Second, you people realize that question #1 is non-binding right? Even if it passes, it means nothing.
Fortunately, question #2 is binding so vote YES ON 2, assholes.
|
|
|
josh, please tell a DEA agent that #2 is binding. |
|
|
|
| josh, please tell a DEA agent that #2 is binding. |
i don't think it matters what a DEA agent thinks, even if they arrest you with less than an ounce, once you get to court you will not get jail time. Or probation for that matter, and that's why it's so important. |
|
|
No on 2 is to hippies as Obama is to hillbillies.
|
|
|
i am happy to hear that obviously while you don't smoke, you realize what this question entails. I know too many people who don't smoke, therefor think this shouldn't pass. Strangely enough though, those same people drink alcohol like it's water. |
|
|
|

That is so fucking retarded. Weed isn't even the main issue here, its about resources. Do these people you know really want their tax dollars to keep being spent on arresting, prosecuting, and putting on probation people who got caught with a little bit of weed?
Anyone who votes yes on 1 and also no on 2 needs to be castrated.
|
|
|
Weed is no worse than alcohol or nicotine.
I only smoke weed every so often, so whatever goes through on question 2 doesn't really effect me personally, but I think if alcohol and nicotine are legal, why not marijuana? |
|
|
Here's a question. If Question 2 passes... do the people incarcerated for minor possession get released? |
|
|
not sure, but my cousin just had his hearing for his 2nd possession offense this morning (he was holding a gram) and he was let off entirely. after spending a great deal of money on a criminal defense lawyer. |
|
|
|
| Here's a question. If Question 2 passes... do the people incarcerated for minor possession get released? |
I don't think anyone is incarcerated for simple possession. Maybe if there's someone out there with like 20 convictions but I doubt that.
The only way you're going to jail for that is if you get convicted, get put on probation, and then you violate your probation. And that's a whole other can of worms.
|
|
|
Free 'brownies' for everyone once this gets passed. |
|
|
Will we be the first state with this sort of law if 2 passes? Anyone know? |
|
|
www.norml.org
tells you each states' laws in regards to possession.
|
|
|
you're smart, put the http:// yourself. |

|
first off, the "people" i know are office duchebags downtown, and i obviously don't agree/condone/excuse their decisions. Secondly, i know people who were incarcerated for it. Just possession. Under an ounce too, granted it was a short period, but it is possible, and no - Question 2 would not be retroactive, anyone incarcerated/on probation for minor possession, would continue serving whatever sentence they had received.; |

Sentenced, or just couldn't make bail? How many priors did they have?
Over the last 10-15 years I've been busted for weed 4 times and it wasn't even until the 4th time that they wouldn't cwaf it anymore. And then it was still only a fine. There has got to be more to their stories than just simple posession.

No we'd be the 12th or 13th or something. |

Yea wtf if anything should be illegal its alcohol.
not that anything should be illegal. just not my thing XD
|
|
|
yes alcohol should be illegal long before marijuana. But in my opinion either should be illegal. |
|
|
|

WHO NEEDS EM!
...wait |
DENTAL PLAN! |

BEERS > QUEERS |
|
|
I am stoned for the first time in close to three months oddly enough. |
|
|
Maybe this will make it easier for me to find someone to sell me pot. |
|
|
channel 10 is saying 65% yes. looks like im finally going to move out of my parents house. what a good reason  |
|
|
I got my president and my pot. There is totally sun shining out of my ass right now. |
|
|
Carrying an ounce legally is pretty sweet. |

See? Good came out of voting. |

No liberal ever understands anything a rational person is trying to say. |
|
|
Also conservatives are retarded and hilarious and two hours ago were already likening Obama to Hitler and talking about how we were mere weeks away from our very own string of concentration camps. Psyched! |
|
|
I predict an emerging market in "7/8 oz" bags. |
|
|
I just took multiple Barack O-bong Rips in celebration of this law passing. |
|
|
If I had it, I'd be smokin it, too. DayQuil and beer will have to do. |
|
|
Anyone who doesn't start dealing drugs at this point is a fucking idiot. |

Just saw this:
"The proposition will become law 30 days after it’s reported to the Governor’s Council, which usually meets in late November or early December. But the Legislature could amend or repeal the new law, as they've done with some prior laws passed by the voters, said Emily LaGrassa, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Martha Coakley. The Associated Press called the outcome at about 9:20 p.m."
You think they have the balls to overturn a massive majority vote like that? I bet they do. |

Hasn't stopped them in the past. Gotta love that whole "Fuck you small people, WE know whats best for all of you. You and your silly voting."
I'm glad it passed, but I'm waiting to see if Beacon Hill assrapes everyone again because we had the nerve to do that whole "thinking " thing again. |
|
|
Pot dealers are going to love this new law. Carry just enough under the legal amount at a time, haha. |
|
|
True, but you can still get wacked for intent to distribute...and I'm sure they're going to find some ass-backwards loophole to their advantage.
5 grams of treebs + sandwich bag covered in Fluff residue = intent to distribute |

If they do, pay attention to who voted to change/repeal it and vote them the fuck out.
It passed in every Mass. town except for 3. Hopefully the lawmakers will listen to their constituents.
|
|
|
remember when they voted the income tax from 5.5% to 5%. did that get over turned a couple times? |
|
|
"....The administration is clear in its opposition to the decriminalization of marijuana, and we are concerned about the effects of ballot Question 2's passage," Kevin Burke, secretary of the state's Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, said in a statement.
He would not comment on whether the administration will try to repeal the law...."

I'll lead the fucking campaigns against them. |

where do you live pam? |
|
|
where all the portuguese people live.
|
|
|
pam...you have a hard time finding weed in fall river?......really? |
|
|
|
| Carrying an ounce legally is pretty sweet. |
Its still illegal... just not as illegal. You're not supposed to have pot, the only difference is here is that you get a speeding ticket dealio rather than instant jail. |
|
|
....and all you need is more than one container of weed (bag) for it to be intent to distribute. Even if those bags were a gram each. |
|
|
Pam - go to Umass Dartmouth. There's tons and tons of weed there. |
|
|
Our penis-tasting congressman, Barney Frank, was re-elected last night. Hopefully his federal decriminalization act will go through.
Keep that rectum explorer in office!! |

Why would you vote against the guy who's trying to get question 2 passed on a national level?
He wasn't on your ballot because you don't live in his district. |
|
|
I know why he wasn't on my ballot
I would vote against him because he was a big part of why our economy is the way it is.
Like I said before, question 2 doesn't effect me much (I did vote yes), so I don't care that much about it. The economy effects everyone, therefore, I don't think he deserves to retain his job. |
