1. Pot is sold in coffee shops on the main streets of Amsterdam. If not by statute, in practice, it is legal. Far more legal than anywhere else in the western world.

True, but pot is fully legal (up to a certain amount) in Colorado and Washington. Colorado has the most liberal marijuana laws in the world, even more liberal than the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is a UN member state and in order to get that status, it had to ratify the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Drugs, which explicitly bans marijuana. That's why it must keep pot illegal on the books while ignoring the law for small amounts in practice.

2. The internet was invented by a Brit - Tim Berners Lee

False. Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web. The internet is much more than that. People were using email, usenet and FTP on the internet in the 1970s and 80s. Various protocols were created in the United States, United Kingdom, and France, but the first connection that implemented the TCP/IP protocols was between SRI (at Stanford) and UCLA, in 1969. That was the first link of the modern day internet, and it started in the United States.

It's been doing this for a good hour now. I wonder if admins even know what's going on.

FFS, read the forum.

I think the issue is caused by the character part of the captcha being only 4 characters long, when it's usually 5. There was a similar issue last week when only the numbers were showing. Only difference is that for some reason the error message isn't displaying.

Do you think they would put 2 cops at every CVS and 7-11 to get info on small time bitcoin buyers? They don't have the resources.

A more likely scenario is that that store got robbed, or someone suspicious was loitering around, so the store called the cops, and when you came back looking around, that also looked suspicious like you wanted to rob the place.

The Royal Mail said they never knowingly allowed illegal substances to be delivered by post, but refused to disclose the steps taken to prevent postal dealing.

That's because they have no steps.

If you limit it to 1new thread every 10 minutes, that would slow down the spammer. He would have to create new accounts for every thread, which takes time and effort.
