Healthcare Reform

Recently I joined a debate with Ken Volok on this issue.

So many people are talking about so many things without even having any solid evidence. Just a bunch of smart people throwing out big words to confuse the fuck out of 90% of the rest of the world.

It has gotten to the point where they will just point out irrelevant information and literally just antagonize people to try to sway the change that will happen if it's brought about by Obama or not.

Don't get me wrong. I voted for Obama.

1. Because he talked more on a level I think most people can relate to than any other president I've ever "tried to" follow.

2. Because if he was just as corrupt as the rest of them, he was incredibly slick about it and I knew he would really destroy this place, but that might be just what America needed...

Either way, if he was a bad guy just like the other guy no doubt was, he was a cooler bad guy at least.

OK, Health Care...

I am in full support of FREE HEALTH CARE. It isn't a matter of laziness -

As of THIS posting, Afghanistan*, Argentina, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iraq*, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Ukraine and the United Kingdom ALL have some type of universal health care. source

ALL of them. That's half the globe brother. We're the #1, land of the free country? Why are our free citizens charged more for so many things on top of this as well?

Join the debate below or HERE Just do something!

Why we should decriminalize pot.

I support this plant and any effort to open peoples eyes about it. I'm also an advocate for human rights as well, so don't think this is just some page dedicated to getting high. It all ties in with the same system that makes many of our other "rules". I hope you enjoy it and find it educating.

A brief history of the criminalization of cannabis
Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug.
The actual story shows a much different picture. Those who voted on the legal fate of this plant never had the facts, but were dependent on information supplied by those who had a specific agenda to deceive lawmakers. You'll see below that the very first federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor of the Senate.
You'll also see that the history of marijuana's criminalization is filled with:

• Racism
  
  
• Fear
  
  
• Protection of Corporate Profits
  
  
• Yellow Journalism
  
  
• Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators
  
  
• Personal Career Advancement and Greed

These are the actual reasons marijuana is illegal.

Background

For most of human history, marijuana has been completely legal. It's not a recently discovered plant, nor is it a long-standing law. Marijuana has been illegal for less than 1% of the time that it's been in use. Its known uses go back further than 7,000 B.C. and it was legal as recently as when Ronald Reagan was a boy.

The marijuana (hemp) plant, of course, has an incredible number of uses. The earliest known woven fabric was apparently of hemp, and over the centuries the plant was used for food, incense, cloth, rope, and much more. This adds to some of the confusion over its introduction in the United States, as the plant was well known from the early 1600's, but did not reach public awareness as a recreational drug until the early 1900's.

America's first marijuana law was enacted at Jamestown Colony, Virginia in 1619. It was a law "ordering" all farmers to grow Indian hempseed. There were several other "must grow" laws over the next 200 years (you could be jailed for not growing hemp during times of shortage in Virginia between 1763 and 1767), and during most of that time, hemp was legal tender (you could even pay your taxes with hemp -- try that today!) Hemp was such a critical crop for a number of purposes (including essential war requirements - rope, etc.) that the government went out of its way to encourage growth.

The United States Census of 1850 counted 8,327 hemp "plantations" (minimum 2,000-acre farm) growing cannabis hemp for cloth, canvas and even the cordage used for baling cotton.

The Mexican Connection

In the early 1900s, the western states developed significant tensions regarding the influx of Mexican-Americans. The revolution in Mexico in 1910 spilled over the border, with General Pershing's army clashing with bandit Pancho Villa. Later in that decade, bad feelings developed between the small farmer and the large farms that used cheaper Mexican labor. Then, the depression came and increased tensions, as jobs and welfare resources became scarce.
One of the "differences" seized upon during this time was the fact that many Mexicans smoked marijuana and had brought the plant with them, and it was through this that California apparently passed the first state marijuana law, outlawing "preparations of hemp, or loco weed."
However, one of the first state laws outlawing marijuana may have been influenced, not just by Mexicans using the drug, but, oddly enough, because of Mormons using it. Mormons who traveled to Mexico in 1910 came back to Salt Lake City with marijuana. The church's reaction to this may have contributed to the state's marijuana law. (Note: the source for this speculation is from articles by Charles Whitebread, Professor of Law at USC Law School in a paper for the Virginia Law Review, and a speech to the California Judges Association (sourced below). Mormon blogger Ardis Parshall disputes this.)

Other states quickly followed suit with marijuana prohibition laws, including Wyoming (1915), Texas (1919), Iowa (1923), Nevada (1923), Oregon (1923), Washington (1923), Arkansas (1923), and Nebraska (1927). These laws tended to be specifically targeted against the Mexican-American population.

When Montana outlawed marijuana in 1927, the Butte Montana Standard reported a legislator's comment: "When some beet field peon takes a few traces of this stuff... he thinks he has just been elected president of Mexico, so he starts out to execute all his political enemies." In Texas, a senator said on the floor of the Senate: "All Mexicans are crazy, and this stuff [marijuana] is what makes them crazy."

Jazz and Assassins

In the eastern states, the "problem" was attributed to a combination of Latin Americans and black jazz musicians. Marijuana and jazz traveled from New Orleans to Chicago, and then to Harlem, where marijuana became an indispensable part of the music scene, even entering the language of the black hits of the time (Louis Armstrong's "Muggles", Cab Calloway's "That Funny Reefer Man", Fats Waller's "Viper's Drag").

Again, racism was part of the charge against marijuana, as newspapers in 1934 editorialized: "Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men's shadows and look at a white woman twice."

Two other fear-tactic rumors started to spread: one, that Mexicans, Blacks and other foreigners were snaring white children with marijuana; and two, the story of the "assassins." Early stories of Marco Polo had told of "hasheesh-eaters" or hashashin, from which derived the term "assassin." In the original stories, these professional killers were given large doses of hashish and brought to the ruler's garden (to give them a glimpse of the paradise that awaited them upon successful completion of their mission). Then, after the effects of the drug disappeared, the assassin would fulfill his ruler's wishes with cool, calculating loyalty.

By the 1930s, the story had changed. Dr. A. E. Fossier wrote in the 1931 New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal: "Under the influence of hashish those fanatics would madly rush at their enemies, and ruthlessly massacre every one within their grasp." Within a very short time, marijuana started being linked to violent behavior.

Alcohol Prohibition and Federal Approaches to Drug Prohibition

During this time, the United States was also dealing with alcohol prohibition, which lasted from 1919 to 1933. Alcohol prohibition was extremely visible and debated at all levels, while drug laws were passed without the general public's knowledge. National alcohol prohibition happened through the mechanism of an amendment to the constitution.

Earlier (1914), the Harrison Act was passed, which provided federal tax penalties for opiates and cocaine.

The federal approach is important. It was considered at the time that the federal government did not have the constitutional power to outlaw alcohol or drugs. It is because of this that alcohol prohibition required a constitutional amendment.

At that time in our country's history, the judiciary regularly placed the tenth amendment in the path of congressional regulation of "local" affairs, and direct regulation of medical practice was considered beyond congressional power under the commerce clause (since then, both provisions have been weakened so far as to have almost no meaning).

Since drugs could not be outlawed at the federal level, the decision was made to use federal taxes as a way around the restriction. In the Harrison Act, legal uses of opiates and cocaine were taxed (supposedly as a revenue need by the federal government, which is the only way it would hold up in the courts), and those who didn't follow the law found themselves in trouble with the treasury department.

In 1930, a new division in the Treasury Department was established -- the Federal Bureau of Narcotics -- and Harry J. Anslinger was named director. This, if anything, marked the beginning of the all-out war against marijuana.

Harry J. Anslinger

Anslinger was an extremely ambitious man, and he recognized the Bureau of Narcotics as an amazing career opportunity -- a new government agency with the opportunity to define both the problem and the solution. He immediately realized that opiates and cocaine wouldn't be enough to help build his agency, so he latched on to marijuana and started to work on making it illegal at the federal level.
Anslinger immediately drew upon the themes of racism and violence to draw national attention to the problem he wanted to create. He also promoted and frequently read from "Gore Files" -- wild reefer-madness-style exploitation tales of ax murderers on marijuana and sex and... Negroes. Here are some quotes that have been widely attributed to Anslinger and his Gore Files:

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."

"...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races."

"Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death."

"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."

"Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing"

"You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."

"Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."

And he loved to pull out his own version of the "assassin" definition:

"In the year 1090, there was founded in Persia the religious and military order of the Assassins, whose history is one of cruelty, barbarity, and murder, and for good reason: the members were confirmed users of hashish, or marihuana, and it is from the Arabs' 'hashashin' that we have the English word 'assassin.'"

Yellow Journalism

Harry Anslinger got some additional help from William Randolf Hearst, owner of a huge chain of newspapers. Hearst had lots of reasons to help. First, he hated Mexicans. Second, he had invested heavily in the timber industry to support his newspaper chain and didn't want to see the development of hemp paper in competition. Third, he had lost 800,000 acres of timberland to Pancho Villa, so he hated Mexicans. Fourth, telling lurid lies about Mexicans (and the devil marijuana weed causing violence) sold newspapers, making him rich.

Some samples from the San Francisco Examiner:

"Marihuana makes fiends of boys in thirty days -- Hashish goads users to bloodlust."

"By the tons it is coming into this country -- the deadly, dreadful poison that racks and tears not only the body, but the very heart and soul of every human being who once becomes a slave to it in any of its cruel and devastating forms.... Marihuana is a short cut to the insane asylum. Smoke marihuana cigarettes for a month and what was once your brain will be nothing but a storehouse of horrid specters. Hasheesh makes a murderer who kills for the love of killing out of the mildest mannered man who ever laughed at the idea that any habit could ever get him...."

And other nationwide columns...

"Users of marijuana become STIMULATED as they inhale the drug and are LIKELY TO DO ANYTHING. Most crimes of violence in this section, especially in country districts are laid to users of that drug."

"Was it marijuana, the new Mexican drug, that nerved the murderous arm of Clara Phillips when she hammered out her victim's life in Los Angeles?... THREE-FOURTHS OF THE CRIMES of violence in this country today are committed by DOPE SLAVES -- that is a matter of cold record."

Hearst and Anslinger were then supported by Dupont chemical company and various pharmaceutical companies in the effort to outlaw cannabis. Dupont had patented nylon, and wanted hemp removed as competition. The pharmaceutical companies could neither identify nor standardize cannabis dosages, and besides, with cannabis, folks could grow their own medicine and not have to purchase it from large companies.

This all set the stage for...

The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.

After two years of secret planning, Anslinger brought his plan to Congress -- complete with a scrapbook full of sensational Hearst editorials, stories of ax murderers who had supposedly smoked marijuana, and racial slurs.

It was a remarkably short set of hearings.

The one fly in Anslinger's ointment was the appearance by Dr. William C. Woodward, Legislative Council of the American Medical Association.

Woodward started by slamming Harry Anslinger and the Bureau of Narcotics for distorting earlier AMA statements that had nothing to do with marijuana and making them appear to be AMA endorsement for Anslinger's view.

He also reproached the legislature and the Bureau for using the term marijuana in the legislation and not publicizing it as a bill about cannabis or hemp. At this point, marijuana (or marihuana) was a sensationalist word used to refer to Mexicans smoking a drug and had not been connected in most people's minds to the existing cannabis/hemp plant. Thus, many who had legitimate reasons to oppose the bill weren't even aware of it.

Woodward went on to state that the AMA was opposed to the legislation and further questioned the approach of the hearings, coming close to outright accusation of misconduct by Anslinger and the committee:

"That there is a certain amount of narcotic addiction of an objectionable character no one will deny. The newspapers have called attention to it so prominently that there must be some grounds for [their] statements [even Woodward was partially taken in by Hearst's propaganda]. It has surprised me, however, that the facts on which these statements have been based have not been brought before this committee by competent primary evidence. We are referred to newspaper publications concerning the prevalence of marihuana addiction. We are told that the use of marihuana causes crime.

But yet no one has been produced from the Bureau of Prisons to show the number of prisoners who have been found addicted to the marihuana habit. An informed inquiry shows that the Bureau of Prisons has no evidence on that point.

You have been told that school children are great users of marihuana cigarettes. No one has been summoned from the Children's Bureau to show the nature and extent of the habit, among children.

Inquiry of the Children's Bureau shows that they have had no occasion to investigate it and know nothing particularly of it.

Inquiry of the Office of Education--- and they certainly should know something of the prevalence of the habit among the school children of the country, if there is a prevalent habit--- indicates that they have had no occasion to investigate and know nothing of it.

Moreover, there is in the Treasury Department itself, the Public Health Service, with its Division of Mental Hygiene. The Division of Mental Hygiene was, in the first place, the Division of Narcotics. It was converted into the Division of Mental Hygiene, I think, about 1930. That particular Bureau has control at the present time of the narcotics farms that were created about 1929 or 1930 and came into operation a few years later. No one has been summoned from that Bureau to give evidence on that point.

Informal inquiry by me indicates that they have had no record of any marihuana of Cannabis addicts who have ever been committed to those farms.

The bureau of Public Health Service has also a division of pharmacology. If you desire evidence as to the pharmacology of Cannabis, that obviously is the place where you can get direct and primary evidence, rather than the indirect hearsay evidence."

Committee members then proceeded to attack Dr. Woodward, questioning his motives in opposing the legislation. Even the Chairman joined in:

The Chairman: If you want to advise us on legislation, you ought to come here with some constructive proposals, rather than criticism, rather than trying to throw obstacles in the way of something that the Federal Government is trying to do. It has not only an unselfish motive in this, but they have a serious responsibility.

Dr. Woodward: We cannot understand yet, Mr. Chairman, why this bill should have been prepared in secret for 2 years without any intimation, even, to the profession, that it was being prepared.

After some further bantering...

The Chairman: I would like to read a quotation from a recent editorial in the Washington Times:

The marihuana cigarette is one of the most insidious of all forms of dope, largely because of the failure of the public to understand its fatal qualities.

The Nation is almost defenseless against it, having no Federal laws to cope with it and virtually no organized campaign for combating it.

The result is tragic.

School children are the prey of peddlers who infest school neighborhoods.

High school boys and girls buy the destructive weed without knowledge of its capacity of harm, and conscienceless dealers sell it with impunity.

This is a national problem, and it must have national attention.

The fatal marihuana cigarette must be recognized as a deadly drug, and American children must be protected against it.

That is a pretty severe indictment. They say it is a national question and that it requires effective legislation. Of course, in a general way, you have responded to all of these statements; but that indicates very clearly that it is an evil of such magnitude that it is recognized by the press of the country as such.

And that was basically it. Yellow journalism won over medical science.
The committee passed the legislation on. And on the floor of the house, the entire discussion was:

Member from upstate New York: "Mr. Speaker, what is this bill about?"

Speaker Rayburn: "I don't know. It has something to do with a thing called marihuana. I think it's a narcotic of some kind."

"Mr. Speaker, does the American Medical Association support this bill?"

Member on the committee jumps up and says: "Their Doctor Wentworth[sic] came down here. They support this bill 100 percent."

And on the basis of that lie, on August 2, 1937, marijuana became illegal at the federal level.
The entire coverage in the New York Times: "President Roosevelt signed today a bill to curb traffic in the narcotic, marihuana, through heavy taxes on transactions."

Anslinger as precursor to the Drug Czars

Anslinger was essentially the first Drug Czar. Even though the term didn't exist until William Bennett's position as director of the White House Office of National Drug Policy, Anslinger acted in a similar fashion. In fact, there are some amazing parallels between Anslinger and the current Drug Czar John Walters. Both had kind of a carte blanche to go around demonizing drugs and drug users. Both had resources and a large public podium for their voice to be heard and to promote their personal agenda. Both lied constantly, often when it was unnecessary. Both were racists. Both had the ear of lawmakers, and both realized that they could persuade legislators and others based on lies, particularly if they could co-opt the media into squelching or downplaying any opposition views.

Anslinger even had the ability to circumvent the First Amendment. He banned the Canadian movie "Drug Addict," a 1946 documentary that realistically depicted the drug addicts and law enforcement efforts. He even tried to get Canada to ban the movie in their own country, or failing that, to prevent U.S. citizens from seeing the movie in Canada. Canada refused. (Today, Drug Czar John Walters is trying to bully Canada into keeping harsh marijuana laws.)

Anslinger had 37 years to solidify the propaganda and stifle opposition. The lies continued the entire time (although the stories would adjust -- the 21 year old Florida boy who killed his family of five got younger each time he told it). In 1961, he looked back at his efforts:

"Much of the most irrational juvenile violence and that has written a new chapter of shame and tragedy is traceable directly to this hemp intoxication. A gang of boys tear the clothes from two school girls and rape the screaming girls, one boy after the other. A sixteen-year-old kills his entire family of five in Florida, a man in Minnesota puts a bullet through the head of a stranger on the road; in Colorado husband tries to shoot his wife, kills her grandmother instead and then kills himself. Every one of these crimes had been proceeded [sic] by the smoking of one or more marijuana "reefers." As the marijuana situation grew worse, I knew action had to be taken to get the proper legislation passed. By 1937 under my direction, the Bureau launched two important steps First, a legislative plan to seek from Congress a new law that would place marijuana and its distribution directly under federal control. Second, on radio and at major forums, such that presented annually by the New York Herald Tribune, I told the story of this evil weed of the fields and river beds and roadsides. I wrote articles for magazines; our agents gave hundreds of lectures to parents, educators, social and civic leaders. In network broadcasts I reported on the growing list of crimes, including murder and rape. I described the nature of marijuana and its close kinship to hashish. I continued to hammer at the facts.

I believe we did a thorough job, for the public was alerted and the laws to protect them were passed, both nationally and at the state level. We also brought under control the wild growing marijuana in this country. Working with local authorities, we cleaned up hundreds of acres of marijuana and we uprooted plants sprouting along the roadsides."

After Anslinger

On a break from college in the 70s, I was visiting a church in rural Illinois. There in the literature racks in the back of the church was a lurid pamphlet about the evils of marijuana -- all the old reefer madness propaganda about how it caused insanity and murder. I approached the minister and said "You can't have this in your church. It's all lies, and the church shouldn't be about promoting lies." Fortunately, my dad believed me, and he had the material removed. He didn't even know how it got there. But without me speaking up, neither he nor the other members of the church had any reason NOT to believe what the pamphlet said. The propaganda machine had been that effective.

The narrative since then has been a continual litany of:

• Politicians wanting to appear tough on crime and passing tougher penalties
  
  
  
• Constant increases in spending on law enforcement and prisons
  
  
  
• Racist application of drug laws
  
  
  
• Taxpayer funded propaganda
  
  
  
• Stifling of opposition speech
  
  
  
• Political contributions from corporations that profit from marijuana being illegal (pharmaceuticals, alcohol, etc.)

... but that's another whole story.

Homeboy Handbook

Homeboy Handbook: Rules of Engagement

This is the official hand book for homeboys on the go. Intended for use only by certified homeboys you may be out with. It will protect and promote favorable social environments. Always follow the guidelines and you will benefit through positive reaction. Feel free to reply with any additional rules. We will run them through our field testing team to ensure maximum quality assurance. There will be 100 in all and we will update as needed.

~ OWN IT ~

1. NEVER degrade, abuse or make fun of the homeys, even if it will make you look cool in front of the chicks.

2. Always keep an eye out for trouble, let your homeys know when its coming and have his back if he is taken off guard.

3. If you need to make fun of someone, let it be the chicks... They love that shit.. Fuck em if they can't take a joke.

4. If the party starts to die, or you see a homey kinda lost and wandering around.. Always, make a scene and toast the mutha fucka..

5. Never expose your group to women who wiegh over twice the wieght of your smallest homey.

6. If your homeboy has a dime and she has some busted homegirls, you must ALWAYS take one for the team. He will then owe you one. This rule is not applicable to the guidlines if said wingman must break restrictions of rule number

5. (Unless he is ok with it, which of course should be thoroughly discussed to make sure he hasn't had too much to drink)

7. If one of your crewmembers is singing obnoxiously and screwing it up, crank up the music and get live with him. You are supposed to be the happening crowd.

8. A beer at a homeys pad is always your beer as well.

9. If at a social gathering, and a team member is seen with an almost empty glass, make sure someone gets him a refill if he isn't on his game. This will ensure there is no pause or transition of the atmosphere.

10. Under no circumstance is Cock Blocking allowed. This is a serious offence in the Homeboy Code. The only time Cock Blocking could be permittable is if your Homey has had to much to drink and is actually in violation of a rule .. ..
..

11. Never, ever speak for a Homey in the presence of a law inforcement offical.. (ie. "Hey why the fuck you pullin us over pig!") This is also a serious offence and could end up splitting up a crew for good. Either by jail time or a severe fist fight that's worse than the last 3 you had.

12. This rule is in conjunction with rule 11. If confronting a officer of the law, never refer to him as Piggy, Copper, Chief, King Dickhead, Faggot, Motherfucker etc...

13. No fratinization between yourself and chicks that are currently involved with another Homey. This means no groping, kissing, sucking, well you get the point.

14. Never engage in fratinazation with a chick who has been in ANY type of relationship with a homey. This rule may be waived either by affected homey or by a majority of homey's who all know the affected homey. As such, if it is a mojority waive, the rule breaker must be made aware of the ramifications to this violation...

15. Never sell your homey Wolf Tickets. To anything. Homeys must always know whats up. This is important to save face for everybody... Trust me...

16. Homeys do not drink and drive. Even though all homeys have broken this rule at some point, as a RULE we do not encourage this and if you see a Homey doing so, please try to let him know he is in violation of said rule and there is a high probability he will very soon be in violation of rule 11 as well.

17. You must know how to hold your liquor. If you can't handle the drink, and you get sick, you then put your whole crew in the line of fire as the "Assholes." If a homey breaks this golden rule it is permissable for the rest of his party to then negate rule 1. IF in doing so they may be able to recapture the top status at the scene. If your cool status is unrepairable, refer to rule 100.

18. Married women are out of bounds.. If you know the husband or not, this is just a good rule in any situation. Plus, there is just way too much ass out there to be fuckin up your mojo on someone else's old lady. If you already hit this broad AND THEN find out she's married, might as well keep tappin it though. Fuck it.

19. When drinking with ones pops, always let the old man have the final drink.. This shows respect and can also help if your broke, as he may pick up the tab!!

20. Open the door for women. This is two fold. It makes you look like a gentleman, bringing a feel of security to your presence. And with this feeling, women are more enclined to hang out with you and your "ever so sweet" homeys.

21. WOMEN, can be homeys. Taking advantage of clause in rule 25 or under these circumstances:
a) If they're in a serious relationship with one of your homeboys. (Hey it happens in all crews)
b) If they are a well known friend of a girl who has earned homey status.
c) If you've known her for a really long time.
d) If she has been let in the crew in any way, and has partied with you all at least 5 times without anybody hitting it. If anybody has hit it, then she is just a cool chick to party with and it is wise for all members of the crew to try and get a piece of that.

22. If a woman is a homey, every crew member must protect her like a little sister. Even if your wrong and try to beat up one of her ex boyfriends because you thought it was a random guy at the bar trying to hit on her. Better to be on top of your game and say sorry, than to let some fool slip on your crew.

23. If any crew member owns guns, keep them away from the ballsy homeys. It has been documented on numerous occasions that a pissed off homey will in fact shoot things in his own house just to make a point. This can really put a damper on your party, but give you something really cool to talk about later.

24. It's never acceptable for a homeboy to hit, slap, kick, choke or punch a chick. It's ok to restrain a chick from hitting a homeboy. This rule may be waived if the chick expresses interest in this type of "foreplay" during sexual relations.

25. It is acceptable for a homegirl to hit a chick, and it can even be considered hot in some instances. Always have your camera ready. This is the only other way for a woman to obtain homey status other then previously mentioned methods.

26. When out with the homies and you see women snapping pictures with digital cameras, always scream, "Yay Myspace!" and jump in the picture. This will then put you on the same coolness level with the newly found hotties and also help boost your Myspace fame.

27. When your homeboy has a cool saying (You know what time it is, I'm Rick James bitch, Don't call me white, You take it in the butt? Get in there with your shoes off and make me some pot pies, etc..) it's accepted and expected for the rest of the immediate homeboys to also use these these great ice breaking party lines. This ensures everyone in the crew looks just as cool as the next guy, making your party click unstoppable.

28. If a bouncer gets in your grill and has beef with you or one of the homeys, it is always expected of you not to take his shit. The only time you put up with it is if there are cops in the area, and this is at the homeys perogative!! It is then acceptable to hunt the bouncer down after the scene dies and stomp his ass.

29. Always let a homey know if there is a dress code. This way he is prepared if he is still down to go to this location. If you get to a spot and someone isn't "dressed right" (God forbid it was hot and he just wanted to wear shorts) it's expected of the closest living homeboy to offer him a change of clothes from his pad.

30. If at a bar with the homeys, dont just hang in one group, get away and mingle. This will help give your party the popularity, the "those guys party" look and the feel of dominance. Because you have disbanded certain clicks of homeys throughout the place and all the hotties with cinamon num nums see people you know everywhere. You are so damn cool.

31. Never take longer than one drink, after entering a bar, party ect, to make the move on a prospective chick. We've all done this and sometimes the ladies will give you an exception if your final game is just right. But the sooner you jump in any womans shit, the smaller the chance of her seeing any flaws in your pimp hand strong game. Plus your confidence level drops in her eyes if you wait forever to approach. Just walk up and make an ass out of yourself.

32. Never allow your homey to eat a dead blowfish from the aquarium at a Bar-B-Que. This tends to freak out the ladies and your homey will worry all night about brain mites and death. As well as have poison control up his ass. It's probably not worth the 20 bucks...

33. If a homey is disabled you are expected to treat him like every other homey. NEVER help him with shit unless he asks. Unless your helping to uphold a certain rule. Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't even want you to fight for him. It is acceptable however, to hand him his baseball bat or give him a little push.

34. It is not at any point acceptable for a crewmember to let a homeboy go out looking rough, tore back or otherwise fucked up. Even if your just running down the street, at least have a clean shirt on. As you all know, you meet the coolest chicks when your not expecting. If he walks out dirty and stankin, your screwed. In this state of emergency you must do everything in your power to get the homeboy pimped out.

35. It is your obligation to inform a crewmember of his execution of a bitch move. If you have a crewmember who breaks this rule habitually, you should discuss any further communications with him to all affected homies.
