One of my all time favorite boxers cum Philapinne Senator just sponsored a heinous (IMHO) drug bill in the Philipinnes. This bill basically justifies Duterte extrajudicial killings and makes it a penalty of Life Imprisonment for cultivating cannabis. Hopefully someone of our members has a Philipinne landraces they might like to start a projject on because these will likely suffer due to bills such as this one.


Think about our precious freedoms in this country and VOTE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

One of the more interesting things I ran across was hearing that Mark Twain was all but disowned by his own family for his opposition to how we went in to those islands.
Much of what we live with today can be traced directly back to those islands.

Pacman is brain-dead,wayyyyy to many blows to the head,and to make him a congressman in mindanao is ludicrous,however Duterte-Harry is looking at legalising medicinal marijuana in the PI,time will tell,stranger things have happened.

If only I could have gotten some Philippines landrace seeds before that asshole became president.

Shit is fucked up though drugs should all be legal nobody should be killed for drugs. But the USA backs Saudi Arabia and other horrible countries who are we to criticize even North Korea when we are killing hundreds of thousands of people in the Middle East many just trying to live a peaceful life.

The world is fucked and it's all because of money and gold. The Native Americans lived in freedom, peace and prosperity for thousands of years because they didn't have kings they didn't value gold there would have never been a Gold Rush in America if they did.

Until the people realize that the eastern ideology of gold, money and power is fucking stupid the world will not see peace. Nobody owns this land it was here before the dinosaurs.

Sorry to hear this. Manny Pacquiao used to endorse Hennessy liquor for f***s sake. Seems to hate gays.

Do not make sports people your heroes.

Things in PI are not so black and white, you have lots of drugs like meth (shabu) being sold and lots to kids. The barrios (barangias) would usually deal with anyone selling to their own that were not adults and no one would mind this action. The problem with PI is the corruption has been so rampant for so long that no one trusts the gov't and they need to try to find a way to get the people on their side and help their country it is really a sad situation. It is too bad that they have such a harsh stance on drugs but it also seems to be a big source of corruption among the police and gov't which makes it a target for cleaning up. People will steal from the senators just to sell it, mangos and other fruit to make a few bucks, the gov't has no respect or confidence, overseas works have gifts stolen from their luggage or packages to loved ones with gov't protection, as a citizen you must pay a tax before you leave the country, the situation is needing repair and this is an easy place for them to start which is sad but true.

The extra judicial drug killings are all smoke and mirrors mate,public appeasement while the real criminals in the country are the ones running it,kill a few low level shabu users or sellers in a barangay and the poverty stricken locals are happy for a while totally oblivious to everyone from the barangay captains up are stealing as much as they can hand over fist,theres none so blind as those who cant see,the country is FUBAR,but its always easier to see a problem if you have an outbof the box looking in perspective,check out duterte harrys Davao Death Squad before he became president,davao cops who used to deal out death to anyone who pissed him off,google them,the current killings are just his expansion on that as he takes over the country,strange guy with a very odious daughter.
