Foreign Affairs › Re: Uruguay Become The First Country To Legalise Marijuana by Onyenna(m): 5:58pm On Dec 11, 2013
osymerga: The Op should keep quite.Stop misinforming people please.Did you know that marijuana and prostitution has been legal in Holland for a long time now ? Go and do your research very well,peace. Uruguay is not the first,please.
You're quite wrong...it's only sold in coffee shops in Holland..... Several countries such as Canada, the Netherlands and Israel have legal programmes for growing medical cannabis but do not allow cultivation of marijuana for recreational use.

Uruguay, therefore, is the first country to legalize marijuana(recreational and/or otherwise)....

Health › Marijuana Legalized In Uruguay by Onyenna(op): 5:12pm On Dec 11, 2013
Backers of new law celebrate as Uruguay becomes first nation to legalise growing, sale and smoking of marijuana.
Uruguay has become the first nation to legalise the
growing, sale and smoking of marijuana after the
country's Senate gave final approval to the
legislation.
After a long debate on Tuesday, 16 of 29 senators
voted in favour of the law championed by President
Jose Mujica. The legislation is aimed at wrestling the business from criminals in the small South American nation. Backers of the law, some smoking joints, gathered near Congress holding green balloons, Jamaican flags in homage to singer-songwriter Bob Marley and a sign saying: "Cultivating freedom, Uruguay grows."
Cannabis consumers will be able to buy a maximum
of 40 grams each month from licensed pharmacies as long as they are Uruguayan residents over the age of 18 and registered on a government database that will monitor their monthly purchases.
When the law is implemented in mid-April,
Uruguayans will be able to grow six marijuana plants in their homes a year, or as much as 480 grams, and form smoking clubs of 15 to 45 members that can grow up to 99 plants per year.
Registered drug users should be able to start buying
marijuana over the counter from licensed pharmacies in April.
Drug trafficking
Uruguay's leftist president defends his initiative as a
bid to regulate and tax a market that already exists
but is run by criminals.
President Jose Mujica "We've given this market as a gift to the drug traffickers and that is more destructive socially than the drug itself, because it rots the whole of society," the 78-year-old former guerrilla fighter told Argentine news agency Telam.
Uruguay's attempt to quell drug trafficking is being
followed closely in Latin America where the
legalisation of some narcotics is being increasingly
seen by regional leaders as a possible way to end the violence spawned by the cocaine trade.
The bill gives authorities 120 days to set up a drug
control board that will regulate cultivation standards, fix the price and monitor consumption.
The use of marijuana is legal in Uruguay, a country of 3.3 million that is one of the most liberal in Latin
America, but cultivation and sale of the drug are not.
Former Health Minister Alfredo Solari, a Colorado
Party senator, warned on Tuesday that children and
adolescents will more easily get their hands on pot
and that "the effects of this policy on public health
will be terrible".
But Senator Roberto Conde, a former deputy foreign
minister with the governing Broad Front, said
marijuana "is already established in Uruguay. It's a
drug that is already seen as very low risk and
enormously easy to get."
Other countries have decriminalised marijuana
possession and the Netherlands allows its sale in
coffee shops, but Uruguay will be the first nation to
legalise the whole chain from growing the plant to
buying and selling its leaves.

Several countries such as Canada, the Netherlands
and Israel have legal programmes for growing
medical cannabis but do not allow cultivation of
marijuana for recreational use.
Last year, the US states of Colorado and Washington
passed ballot initiatives that legalise and regulate
the recreational use of marijuana.

Osyxcel: Run your installation CD and install Windows, just make sure you don't format your Drives, your old windows will automatically be moved to a folder called "Windows.old" and it will contain all your files intact. You can then move them to your new window. But you have to re-install your softwares.
This guy is good......

@OP....this is your best option so far......

Politics › Trial Begins For 2 Men Accused Of 'callous Murder' Of UK Soldier by Onyenna(op): 9:13am On Nov 30, 2013
Two men went on trial Friday accused of the "cowardly and callous murder" of British soldier Lee Rigby, who was hacked to death in a London street.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, are each accused of murder, conspiracy to murder a police officer and attempted murder of a police officer. They denied the charges at the Old Bailey court in London.
Prosecutor Richard Whittam told the jury that the suspects deliberately attacked an unarmed man from behind using a vehicle as a weapon, "and then they murdered him and mutilated his body with a meat cleaver and knives."
The court was shown cell phone footage filmed by a witness in which a man who prosecutors said was Adebolajo, holding a bloody cleaver in his hands, spoke into the camera.
"The only reason we've killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers," he said. "This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth." "You people will never be safe. Remove your governments -- they don't care about you," he said, referring also to British Prime Minister David Cameron.
"So get rid of them. Tell them to bring our troops back so you can all live in peace. Leave our lands and you will live in peace."
The killing of Rigby outside the Woolwich Barracks in southeast London on May 22 shocked the nation. He left behind a wife and a young son.

whirlwind7: It is so cruel how heartless folks would cash in on this. A friend went for a job interview. I called him later on to ask how it went. He told me the venue turned out to be a seedy brothel! Right there he was given the address of a prospective customer to approach and convince to engage their (the new employer's) service.

My man was in a bus, headed to an unknown address at Agbara in Lagos state. He'd been given N300 for transport fare by the two men who interviewed him. I asked him for details about the company the men represented. He replied that they didnt disclose the full info to him. They want him to handle this first assignment just so they can decide if he'd be competent enough for employment, then furnish him with all the details he needed as well as an appointment letter....

He confided to me that there was something off about the entire scenario. That the men seemed like they were in a hurry to leave. One of them kept stealing furtive glances at the exit, as if expecting someone to show up and challenge them.

Told him to abort the journey. He was at Agbara by then, said he wont go directly to where he'd been sent, just scout the area, and if it doesnt look safe, he'll turn around and forget all about it.
The address he'd been sent to happened to be in an area with few buildings. The street itself had less than a dozen buildings, about half of them uncompleted! The building he was meant to visit was quite isolated. Still wondering how to play it out, he walked to a kiosk by the roadside where a woman sells drinks.

Bought a soda and tried to engage the woman in a conversation about the occupants (if any) of the isolated building towards the end of the street. While at it, a bike (okada) passed by. One of the riders looked familiar....
The bike stopped after the building he was meant to be at. It turned out to be one of the men who had just "interviewed" him. They parked the bike and walked further down the street, while stealing curious glances at the building whose address they gave to my friend.

This is when he began to realize that his hunch had been right. He could have walked into kidnappers' den. When he asked the woman if she knows the men, she said she'd seen them often hanging around that area. She thought they are "omo-onile" cos they usually bring strangers to "view" properties around there.
His cell phone began to ring then. The call was coming from one of the men to ask him if he has arrived...
Thanks a lot
