How come Boy George can get up to 15 years for POSESSION of drugs...

[Deja Q]

yet Tim Allen got only TWO years for dealing the vile things?

[cleofus1]

1. or rush

limpballs gets to make millions more doing his radio show?

[Archae]

2. Because...

Boy George is one of those HORRIBLE homer-sexers and Rush is a good Kriss-chun man's man! :sarcasm:

[Cannikin]

3. Because he's gay?

4. Or that stupid bimbo in Atlanta, Ashley Smith, gets a book deal

and the entire media falls over her for being such a "brave, strong" woman when she, an addict herself, gave meth to a raving lunatic killer?

I absolutely hate this woman and any asshole idiot who interviews her and doesn't call her on her shit.

[Brewman_Jax]

5. She's been all over the television broadcasts

agree, there's too much about the story that no one's asking. Makes you say hmmm...

G'day, ruby duby!

[RubyDuby in GA]

G'day mate!

Or as we southern belles like to say: Hey there darlin'! :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

14. Hi!

:hug:

One of my friends at work and I were talking about her and how she made the jump to celebrity status by "magically" making a fugitive give up. How he "magically" found her ALL the way in Duluth (approx. 25 miles from downtown); how she "magically" had spare clothes that fit him (her ex-boyfriend was a linebacker?) after recently moving to her present location. Those and other questions. Makes me wonder. :shrug:

10. I'm still trying to figure out how a crankhead tweaker is a hero

And I have to show my drivers license and sign a sheet a paper just to get my fricking Nyquil or Alka-Seltzer Cold medicine

Thanks bitch!

[RubyDuby in GA]

12. No kidding!

I was dying last week with flubola and I couldn't get freakin' Nyquil at Target!

Goddamned asshats! Thanks for ruining it for all of us sickies. :evilfrown:

[LynneSin]

13. Well Nyquil is hard to get now because they are reformulating it

:cry:

I love the current version of it and now they have to change it because of idiots like that 'hero' Ashley Smith.

I'm gandering that she'll be spending her bookdeal on some major tweaking since Crank Addiction recovery sucess rate is around 6%

6. I know what answer you are looking for

But I don't think that is it. Boy George has been busted before and has a record. Tim Allen was a first time offense. Boy George won't get 15 years.

Times have changed too. When I was in school (80s) and if someone got busted for drugs they got a 3 day suspension. Today if a kid gets busted they get suspensions, psychological help, counseling and so on.

8. those are all good points

but in the end its all politics...and the effects of good lawyering...(is that a word?)

[johnnie]

11. It is now :)

I think Tim Allen was a college student at the time so I don't know how much money he had for a good lawyer.

[Deja Q]

17. I had no clue the guy had a record, actually. I thought that he and Timmy

were bothfirst time offenders.

And you're right about the temporal aspect too...

[peekaloo]

7. Didn't Tim snitch on his supplier for a reduced sentence?

:shrug:

[Deja Q]

18. Well, regardless of reason, snitchin' on the supplier is a GOOD thing...

unless Judge Whitey opts to put them both into the same cell... then a problem could develop...

[NYYFan]

9. Maybe it has something to do with his past history of possesion & usage ?

that's my guess.

:shrug:

[WeRQ4U]

15. shhhhhh, much less sexy that way.............

Although most likely true.

Noone seems to remember those people who OD'd at his place and his proir convictions for herion use and possession.

[KurtNYC]

16. bc they "really want to hurt (him)"

and they "really want to make (him) cry"....

I blame that over-played song!
