City of Amsterdam opposes proposed law that would ban tourists from coffee shops | Global Post

The capital’s town council, backed by the tourist board and local campaigners, is opposing a new law proposed by the Dutch government that would ban foreigners from frequenting the city’s cannabis-serving coffee shops by 2012.

“If tourists are denied access to coffee shops, illegal sales and drug dealing on the streets of Amsterdam will increase,” warned Mayor Eberhard van der Laan. “Amsterdam does not want to facilitate soft drug use by tourists, but to help those who wish to use drugs to do so as responsibly as possible.” +

CANON T3 GIVEAWAY.

I swear on everything that this isn’t a bullshit contest to gain followers. I’ve been wanting an SLR forever and I ended up getting two. One from my cousin, and the other from my mom. I was thinking about returning/selling my second one, but I wouldn’t be getting the same amount or more than what it was originally priced. I’ve already talked to my mom about me giving it away, she doesn’t mind. But besides all this, who the hell doesn’t like free stuff?

Here’s how this will work:

• You do not have to follow me. I don’t want any followers that don’t actually like my blog. I do ask of you to kindly check out my blog though. If you like it cool, if not, run along now.
• Likes do not count for anything, only reblogs will count. You can reblog this as many times as you’d like.
• Do not create any extra blogs or whatever, I will be creeping on your archives.
• Winner will be chosen like as if it were a raffle drawing.
• Winner will be contacted via ask box, so make sure that you have that open.
• This will be over on May 27th, and the winner will be announced (possibly) on the 29th.

I am doing this basically to make someone else happy and also because I accidentally deleted the other contest I was doing. Please don’t participate if you already own an SLR, but you can if you’d like I guess. I really don’t care if you live in Narnia, anyone is eligible to enter.

Here’s what the winner will get:

• Canon T3.
• 18-35mm Kit lens.
• Wide strap.
• Interface cable.
• AV cable.
• Battery pack.
• Battery charger.
• EOS digital disc instructions.

The camera is brand new.

If you think this is “stupid” of me to do or anything of that sort, than just ignore it. It’s that simple.

Q. “Why would you just giveaway an expensive camera to a stranger?”

A. TO MAKE THEM HAPPY.

Q. “How do we know you aren’t bullshitting us?”

A. To make a fake contest just for followers is stupid as fuck, plus, I have a picture of me holding both the cameras.

If you have any other questions or concerns, ask them here or here.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR LYBIA

I have seen tumblr pull this off once before, on September 11th, 2009. It was fantastic and beautifully done.

We have spent all of today posting incessantly about the matter, the equivalent of screaming at the top of our lungs. And it has been amazing in every sense of the word.

But we need to remember why we’re doing it in the first place. Hundreds have died, hundreds more will die. Humans with lives, families, minds and dreams. We need to give them a moment of silence, if only to resume the screaming and awareness immediately thereafter.

I propose this: at 10:40 PM ET (roughly 20 minutes from the time of this posting, 10:22 PM ET), we stop.

We stop the posting, whether it be about Lybia or Glee or Harry Potter or anything at all. We sit here, refreshing our dashboards if we wish to (so as to witness the silence) and we think. Because thinking is nice, and screaming clouds it sometimes, and those who have lost their lives deserve our thoughts.

And then, at 10:45 PM ET, after five minutes of “silence,” we resume our posting about whatever we want and we revel in our ability to speak out like so many have lost the right to do today and in the days leading up to it.

Let’s try and pull this off, shall we? We’ve accomplished so much today. This would be beautiful.

Reblog and join in when the time comes.
