^This. Pot is illegal, and if we refuse to bring drug users to justice we might as well just say fuck it and stop enforcing ALL the laws.


You do realize that you sound like a complete fool in saying that right?

How does that sound even remotely logical or rational?

What do you think? Is a boycott of Papa John's in order, for employing its drivers as police state snoops and snitches?
In fairness, I'd like to point out that Papa Johns has done a lot of good in the communities in which its stores operate, contributing to many worthwhile charities.
I've never tasted a Papa John's pizza, so I can't offer an opinion on their quality.

The employee should not be the one under fire, I suppose he thought we was doing his duty in the end and no harm came of it.

Practically, this person is jeopardizing a not insignificant portion of that store's customer base, and if I were their manager I'd quickly find an unrelated reason to unemploy them.

That said, be sure to tip your drivers well, folks!

End the special tax exemption for religion. Churches can apply for tax exemption like any other not-for-profit.... the only churches which would be concerned by losing this are the ones not doing anything genuinely deserving of tax-exempt status.

See, this is why we can't have nice things, people.

We shouldn't need to have laws banning people from being jerkwads who tattle on those who want to use marijuana recreationally in the privacy of their own homes. And then this shit happens. THIS IS WHY we end up having to have so many damn laws...because of the small number of very obnoxious people who can't figure out how to stay out of everyone else's way.

It's terrible, their sauce is incredibly over sweet. The best of the major pizza chains is Pizza Hut.

Though, if I have my choice I go for the local Bootlegger's Pizza, or a smaller chain like Hungry Howie's.

Pizza hut can be good! But if you go inside the kind of people that hang out in pizza hut, are.... not the top of American society, haha or maybe they are :roll:

Can't believe it. Over the last few days my associates and myself have witnessed Papa John's delivery vehicles violating various laws such as:
1. Rolling Stop
2. Improper Turn
3. Operating a motor vehicle in an unsafe manner or careless and negligent operation
4. Operating a motor vehicle while using a cell phone
5. Operating a motor vehicle while texting
6. Allowing a rider in a commercial vehicle
7. Littering
8. Sexual Harrassment
9. Illegal Parking
10. Operating a motor vehicle in excess of posted speed limit
11. Passing a loading/unloading schoolbus (added with edit)

I am sure that you folks have seen the same or worse!

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a Poppa John's delivery driver. I know there are Poppa John's around here, and they're supposed to be one of the three biggest pizza chains, but either I'm not on the road during peak pizza delivery hours or people 'round here go more for Round Table or they deliver in unmarked cars...which the latter might be the case, I don't know that I've seen a sign on the car of the last few pizzas I've ordered. (though, I've never ordered from Poppa Johns. Not because of this, but because of the availability of Round Table or quality local stores).
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

If I'm sure that it's oxycontin and I had the time to do so, then I probably would.
