This is pathetic I can not believe an ad company in the United States would be trying to limit what you could say... This country was founded on the freedom of speech religion and press and this company thinks that in order to be able to use its services you are not aloud to discuss certain topics... Well guess what I will not be removing my article about the economic benefits of legalizing Marijuana... I am a US Citizen and there for it is my right to practice my freedoms and you as a US Company should have to listen to the LAWS granting them Freedoms....

The Economic Benefits of Legalizing Marijuana

The US Government spends $9Billion each year housing, feeding, Clothing, and even paying there medical bills... With 33,665 State Inmates and 10,785 Federal Inmates all on Marijuana charges... The Government needs to think about this, this one natural drug has huge potential in making some serious tax revenue... I am going to make an example of potential tax revenue with just the price of a joint which is $5.00.... If the Government was to put a $0.50 tax on that $5.00 Joint making the total price $5.50 this is not including any state sales tax that would be placed on the joint... We are going to say that there would be 8Million buyers that would come out to $4Million with just the purchase of 1 joint each... Now if they were to buy lets say 10 joints each a day that would be $40Million a day in tax Revenue... Now 10 joints a day for a full year would be $29.2Billion per a year....  I would have to say that is a number that we could sure use coming into our countries tax Revenue.... Now that also doesn't include the great Economic impact it would have on our country..... It would put $400Million a day into our Economy and $146Billion a year into our economy.... This really is something our Government needs to look into because the war on this drug will never end why can't we just let it go and make money off of it....

What 1 Pirated Movie cost our economy

I decided today that I was going to go to a website that illegally post movies online and take 1 of the movies and add up the number of views to figure out how much it is taking out of our economy.. The movie I chose was Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked that movie as of tonight when I looked had a total of 69,713 views. If we were to multiply that by $8.50 the price of a movie ticket these days our economy would be losing $592,560.50 now that is just with lost movie ticket prices but this movie is on DVD now and I am not sure how many of those views were after it came out on DVD so I am going to add $200,000 to that total as a rough estimated guess at what out losses were... So the new Grand Total as of today is $792,560.50 as our loss that could have been helping our Economy instead these websites are giving them away free and making money from ad companies selling ads on their sites... Well I got bored so I decided to take the number viewed from that one number and do an guess that I know will be a lot smaller than what it would be in reality on this website there are 146,067 movie choices so I multiplied that number with the 69,713 views from the Chipmunks movie knowing that some of these movies have a lot more views and some probably less and came up with 10,182,786,771 views of movies now this does not count any movies that was downloaded and put on DVD and sold that way... This right here with the life of this website has cost the Economy $86,553,534,553.50. That is a lot of money now these are just estimated numbers and again I only used $8.50 the price of a movie ticket in my area to come up with that cost.. This does not include any DVD sales that were missed out on because of this mass theft... We complain that the Economy is messed up but that is because we allow theft like this to be done... If this continues that number may be doubled before the end of the year....
