WASHINGTON (AP) -- A nationwide coalition of 34,000 minority churches is condemning the California NAACP for supporting a state ballot initiative that would legalize recreational use of marijuana.

The California State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced support for the November ballot measure, saying current laws unfairly target non-whites.

But the Rev. Anthony Evans, president of the National Black Church Initiative, says drugs have "ravaged" the black community with too much violence and death to consider legalization.

Evans says his church will no longer contribute to the NAACP because of its position on marijuana.

A California coalition of black churches also has denounced the NAACP for endorsing legalization.

” How long have you been a registered democrat?”

I have never been a registered Democrat. Ever. That is a fact.

You are a dope. That is an opinion.

The first statement can be factually proven.

The second is my opinion, based on your (in my opinion) stupid remarks. I might be wrong, but I doubt it. Since it can not be proven, it is my OPINION. You are, however, making a compelling case for opinion being provable.

Thanks for playing.

Contrary to your previous statement many opinons can be disproven. For example, I can prove you are a dope and that I am not merely by posting your statements. Here’s what a dope would do now. Having thought about it all day and realizing the error, he would continue to make statements which are shown to be wrong everyday.
