They should be scared. They are a shitty company that steals and locks accounts for no reason. I haven't seen any attack ads personally but the one listed on that site is weak.

Hopefully Google Wallet and Apple Pay will take away their grasp on online payments and p2p transfers.

Still waiting for more massive adoption. Some time of event which introduces Bitcoin to even larger masses will help increase the price.

http://rt.com/news/188252-vatican-drugs-car-italians/

Quote
Using an official Vatican car to transport cocaine and cannabis did not help two Italians to avoid justice. Diplomatic plates failed to protect the two smugglers as they were stopped and arrested in France.




Two Italians, 30 and 41, whose names have not been revealed, are now in a French prison. There are varying reports on where the arrest was made. Local sources say the incident took place at a French border checkpoint, while AFP reported the two were detained at a toll station near Chambéry, in the French Alps.

When law enforcement searched the Vatican vehicle, they found four kilos of cocaine and 200 grams of cannabis.

It appeared that the car belonged to the Argentine Cardinal Jorge Maria Mejia, 91, retired librarian of the Holy See, who is now recovering after a heart attack.

According to reports, the Cardinal’s private secretary had given the car to the two Italian men few days earlier, to take it for its annual checkup. French RTL radio said the two men used the car to drive to Spain to buy the drugs, assuming they would be protected by the diplomatic plates. They were reportedly on the way back when French police stopped them.

This information, however, has not yet been confirmed by legal sources.

The Vatican confirmed that one of its official cars had been stopped in France with drugs on board, but stressed that none of its staff were involved in the incident.

"Cardinal Mejia’s car carrying drugs was effectively blocked by the French police but the cardinal, who is ill… it is totally unrelated," the Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi said.

When asked, both men failed to provide a Vatican diplomatic passport, so the Vatican was not directly implicated, French legal sources said.

 Roll Eyes

Taking advantage of a holy man recovering from a heart attack. For shame.

Wonder if they were acting suspicious or what tipped the police off to pull them over.

Tomorrow it's time for what probably could be considered a Champions League final! Bayern vs City, can't wait  Grin

City has really been dominant lately and Bayern seems to be slacking. I would give the edge to City but it will definitely be a good match.

In case Marijuana becomes legal within the next 10 years, most of the drug cartels around the world will lose their main source of income.  Grin

Also, the national parks within the United States will no longer be cut down to plant hemp by the Mexican drug cartels. Also, the state and federal governments will benefit a lot, in terms of tax money.

If they legalized Marijuana and Cocaine, the cartels would be out of business.

Legalize cocaine? Yeah , I just want to see the country where this will become legal.
Pure curiosity , would you want to live there?
Cocaine is a horrible drug. It is generally considered to be a "hard" drug as it has very serious effects on you and your body. Any government that seriously considers to legalize cocaine is just crazy

Why is it considered hard and why is it horrible? Because people abuse it?

Cocaine has been used medicinally, ceremonially, and recreationally since the pre-Columbian era. Pope Leo XIII carried around a flask of cocaine-laced wine called Vin Mariani. The 1886 recipe for Coca-Cola included coca leaves. Sigmund Freud even wrote about its use for exhilaration and lasting euphoria. It wasn't until 1903 that the American Journal of Pharmacy wrote about its ability for abuse by "degenerates".

The point of decriminalization is to get help for abusers instead of jail time and to take money out of the pockets of illegal gangs/cartels that profit from it. Most of the time through extreme violence. Any government that doesn't seriously consider decriminalization is just crazy.

Ok.........Decriminalization. That is close to legalization.

Quote
In 2001, Portugal became the first European country to abolish all criminal penalties for personal drug possession. In addition, drug users were to be provided with therapy rather than prison sentences.

Why are you splitting hairs?

What are the negatives of this situation?

Quote
The new law maintained the status of illegality for using or possessing any drug for personal use without authorization.

Decriminalization doesn't make the legal. Drugs are still illegal in Portugal. Yet you stated that Portugal legalized drugs.
FALSE.
End of debate.

LOL you are a nit.

What are the negatives of drug decriminalization? Deflect some more

Pretty sure Portugal legalized ALL drugs, and they have only seen positive results.

What are the negative aspects of this? Illegality leads to impure forms of cocaine and even crack cocaine. Not to mention that massive waste of tax dollars that goes to the failed war on drugs.


The drug policy of Portugal was put in place in 2000, and was legally effective from July 2001. The new law maintained the status of illegality for using or possessing any drug for personal use without authorization. However, the offense was changed from a criminal one, with prison a possible punishment, to an administrative one if the amount possessed was no more than ten days' supply of that substance

Every year, Portuguese law enforcement bodies confiscate several tonnes of cocaine, with a record amount of more than 34.5 tonnes seized in 2006. A regular increase in quantities of cannabis resin seized could also be observed over recent years, though there has been a recent decline between 2008 (61 tonnes) and 2009 (23 tonnes)



Not really seeing any negatives.

Isn't it true that addiction has decreased in Portugal?

The same action here in the US would slash a huge portion of the Mexican cartel's income. Also, our jails wouldn't be so overpopulated with non-violent drug offenders

Drugs , any kind of drugs are illegal in Portugal. You claimed that they are legal
What the hell are you talking about Huh
