XBOX Three Red Lights Of Death Blinking

Oh crap, my $359.00 XBOX just boots to 3 blinking red lights.

I have heard of this before and saw friends ship their unit back to Microsoft via Gamestop for repair and it taking WAY too long and costing about $150.00.

Thank God for Youtube and this guy, Gamerguy51.

I did exactly as he instructed and Viola IT DID WORK.

Thanks my man you saved me a bunch of money and taught me something to boot.

You are every bit the Playa your shirt says you are!

Stem Cell Clone Monkey Army Caught Smoking Marijuana



Majority back medical marijuana

Poll also shows embryonic stem cell proposal with lead

A majority of Michiganians is inclined to legalize marijuana for sick people, but a second statewide ballot proposal to relax restrictions on embryonic stem cell research in Michigan is a closer contest -- and the advertising blitz has just begun on that measure.

The latest poll found that voters, by a 59-37 margin, favor the ballot proposal to allow terminally and seriously ill people to legally use marijuana if a doctor certified the drug could ease their suffering.

The statewide poll showed that the biggest backers were women (63 percent support), Metro Detroiters (60 percent) and Democrats (68 percent). Among men, the proposal garnered 51 percent support and 49 percent of Republicans favored it.

Law enforcement groups are near unanimous in their opposition to medical marijuana, saying it's part of a broader agenda to legalize marijuana for everyone. But there doesn't appear to be any group ready to spend money on an ad campaign to defeat the measure.

I can only say it's about time.

The stigma surrounding Marijuana is prejudiced at it's inception and moronic in it's continued enforcement.

Marijuana was initially made illegal because blacks and Mexicans were the most prominent users and white legislatures by making it illegal were able to jail or otherwise depose of those minority groups nationally as they saw fit.

I won't bother to educate you further on it or argue about it, this is the world wide web and its the 21st century, you can find the it yourself online. PBS also did a good series on drug laws about a year ago, look for that as a start.

Timothy Leary further exposed the unconstitutionality of the marijuana law by going to the supreme court to prove the fallacy of it, how?

Timothy Leary argued and rightly so that the law provided a catch 22 in its enforcement, you could legally get a permit to grow marijuana if you brought a sample of your crop to your local government body empowered to give such permits of agriculture, BUT it was illegal to grow it without it, so you couldn't legally grow the crop to get the required permit to further cultivate the crop, catch 22.

The supreme court had actually thrown the law out and marijuana was legal for about two weeks in the 60's because of it.

That legislation was changed el pronto because the government has its priorities straight...yeah right, it takes 10 years of watching the economy tank before the government even moves on a bail out plan but two weeks to make sure that evil weed doesn't make it to your unsuspecting, dying grandma's hands.

I cannot believe how marijuana has been sold to the community as a source of woe for society at large...not while alcohol and tobacco is legally sold and taxed by the state and federal government to horrific ends for society.

I would argue that alcohol and tobacco side effects and societal hazards have devastatingly far exceeded any harmful effects attributed to marijuana supposed or real.

The cost for citizens on law enforcement alone is grotesque considering just about anyone in America can make 3 phone calls and have an once of pot on their lap within 24 hours.

I guess the war on drugs isn't very cost effective is it?

Seizing homes and destroying lives because someone had 2 joints on them and incarcerating them for years doesn't make any sense period, but your paying for it anyway aren't you?

Stem cell research is also woefully far overdue.

It's idiotic to govern by religious zealotry when so many your fellow human beings can benefit medically from such research.

What has this ban accomplished?

Well for one it made virtually every other nation on Earth with such research programs now more advanced than the U.S. in stem cell research.

What were people afraid of? Baby farms? Clone Armies? Genetic monkey mutants running amok? "Take your stinking paws off me you damned dirty ape."

This is what happens when uninformed people are scared into voting along religious doctrine.

When you look into it, there were several constant existing cultures of stem cells that could have been grown and harvested in unlimited numbers, we didn't need baby farms even if we wanted to have them.

These two laws are now to be voted upon in Michigan and its about time common sense and logic define our legislation and not religious or racial prejudices.

What happens when our dollars are spent logically?

I dunno, lets look at the current $700 billion dollar bail out we are being forced to swallow.

What could $700 billions buy?

Cure for cancer?

Cure for AIDS?

Grants for everyone in the U.S. to go to college?

Economic stimulus packages?

A permanent moon base for future solar exploration?

Mars landing program?

Security for our borders against terrorism?

New research technology for clean fuels and batteries?

$700 billion could buy a whole lot, instead we are spending in on an imaginary structure that produces nothing but paper I.O.U's.

Restructuring laws as the common citizen sees fit is the best move Michigan can make towards becoming a leader in the future instead of the current bottom of the barrel beggar of state.
