I feel your pain. I was supposed to go to school today, but I really didn't feel like it. My suspension got cut short and the school called, telling my mom that I could go back to school because the punishment was "too harsh". I don't understand that because suspension is something I would want to have. I hate being in school. But anyways, they conveniently decided to let me back on such short notice and right before the marking period ends - meaning when I went back to school yesterday, all my teachers were trying to cram so much work into my schedule so they could give me a grade before the marking period ended. I was scheduled to take three tests today along with a lot of classwork/homework even though I was gone for over a week so I had no clue about the material anyways. Yeah... screw that.

I used to think I didn't have a social life because I played RS. Now I quit and I still don't have one lol. It wasn't me playing RS... it was me being a nonconformist. Oh well, I have everyone of importance to me (family, close-knit group of friends, girlfriend) so I'm happy. There's no point in having an excess amount of friends either - too much drama.

^^ I have been asking people to fight me in the wild since Jagex took it out. Of course I'm not dumb enough to travel the whole way up there for no reason, but I thought it was funny to see their reaction. :)

I have a question. How did you earn your money?

I don't see any troubles they'd have to face with the coding. You already automatically move one space to the west after lighting a log, so they can just program you to light another one after you move to the space.

Not only that, but imagine the number of people in jail for marijuana. Putting people in prison costs money and effort that should be used for real criminals - robbers, murderers, rapists, etc. Yes, those are problems that need fixing. Honestly I think drug users should only be put in jail if they are committing a crime while under the influence. Prison should be restricted to the nihilistic members of society. Rehabilitation seems nice but one problem is that many heroin users who do have problems will not want to give their consent to be put into rehab - some don't even admit they have a problem. This is where I think the government should step in and either give them the choice of rehab or jail. But either way, I think measures should be taken and lines should be drawn.

I might agree with the idea behind community service if most of the work wasn't utterly pointless and actually contributed to society. I had to keep score for 65 hours for little kid basketball games, even though they had many refs that would just sit on their butts the whole time. If letting a ref sit on his butt during time that he's getting paid then... I don't know, that's just not fair.

^^ green, blue, orange, orange, red, yellow WAMMY!!! :thumbsup: Did you really need to make a thread you weirdo I still love ya you are so random. Touche. :? *Takes off shoe*

My vote was Runecrafting for several reasons: 1. My RC level is the lowest of all of these skills, and, as you can tell by my hi scores, my highest skills are generally the easiest to obtain. 2. It's too boring and tedious so you will want to take many breaks. 3. Nearly constant clicking - you have to be moving the whole time.

Words can't always describe a sound. I'll eat my foot if you can tell me how the solo of Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd goes in words.

If he should be tried as an adult for doing adult crimes, then adults should be charged as juveniles for doing juvenile crimes. Consistency and fairness are vital in court.

It is not necessary for god to have been created. If he is the creator of everything then that means he is also the creator of time (meaning he existed without it). So his existence doesn't apply to what we perceive as time since he obviously can exist outside of time if he was the one who made it in the first place.

Yep, that's how most of my schools were. Except there are a few that have 6th graders in Elementary/Primary. Some people fit the stereotypes perfectly, but the majority of kids are a mixture of a lot of things or don't fit under anything at all.

I never got why people smoke just to look cool. But then again, I'm a nonconformist. I only smoke to get a quick little buzz and only do it very occasionally (like on walks). Black and Milds are my favorite. Last time I had a cig/cigar was over two weeks ago.

You didn't eat the sandwiches? :(

Sooo...A closet? Lol, that's what I thought he meant too. I laughed at the joke, then I realized it wasn't a joke.

The key isn't to memorize it, but to know a lot about the topic and talk freely about it. Kind of like how you tell people how your day went. You don't "memorize" how your day went.

They don't equate it completely to those drugs, but they put them closer than they should be. And I have a gut feeling that the reason the myths and media hype exists is because of the legal state. It's the same way with LSD. The drug actually isn't that bad at all, but yet it is considered in the eyes of many, the most hardcore. Okay, scratch the "exception to the rule" thing because it's being taken too literally. What I meant was that we shouldn't ignore the cases where people do develop an addiction, overdose, etc. because even though it might be rare, it's still a risk not worth taking. The drunk driving example was the best I could think of at the time, but allow me to bring up a new one: "Dying from eating a wild mushroom is rare since the majority of mushrooms in the wild are not poisonous. This suggests it is okay to eat wild mushrooms." The hostility was you telling me that I'm not reading any of your posts. Of course I am reading your posts, or else I wouldn't be responding to them. I see where you're coming from now. You're right - this is no reason to make alcohol illegal, but heroin is more dangerous than alcohol and this is the point where I think the line should be drawn. Both sides of the debate do bring up valid points (although I am more in favor of pro-drug) so like I told mmmcannibalism, I think the fairest thing to do would be to make a compromise. The government shouldn't be too strict but at the same time they should keep a watch on us. This is the best possibility I can think of that pleases both parties.

you have the right to do whatever you want to yourself, but you cant impose on other people's rights. If your in the privacy of your home or another secure location I dont care if you want to inject urine into your body its your choice. The main divisions on drug law come about as a matter of public safety. Alcohol is legal but its intoxicating effects are on the same level as marijuanas, so why should marijuana be illegal. The reason a portion of pro marijuana people are against legal heroin or coke is that they are much more destructive across the spectrum. If you smoke pot fairly regularly then you may end up with lung cancer and you will hurt your health, but if you use heroin or coke regularly it will "destroy" your body in a much quicker manner. At a truly libertarian level they should all be legal, but its unrealistic to deny the greater amount of harm the harder drugs can cause. You pretty much summed up my point. I think the government has too much control when it comes to drugs, but this isn't to say they shouldn't have at least a little bit of control. Lines should be drawn on both ends. The government shouldn't completely win and the drug users shouldn't completely win - it should be a compromise.

I want to know, what motivates someone to make viruses like this. Revenge against humanity?

What are you talking about? This very thread is proof that people think marijuana is a lot worse than it actually is - and only because of it's legal state. How does this nullify my point? If you want to talk semantics, crashing while driving drunk is the exception to the rule. There are more cases where people get home safely than cases where they crash. This doesn't mean drunk driving should be allowed. And please stop the hostility. We don't agree on anything but that doesn't mean we need to jump down each other's throats. Not quite sure if this is relevant. Mind expanding? Then why is comparing the dependency any different? I see no reason to ignore what methods are most common. The point of research is to find out the truth in the real world, not just the truth confined in a laboratory. That being said, do you really think this means that a regular tobacco user is in more danger than a heroin user? But you quoted Goddess who quoted Truenoob who quoted me. Look, I already told you it was a mistake from both of us and I even apologized. Why are you dragging it out?

Dang, that's hypocritical. You said I need to find out what a strawman is since I said you're calling the other side government sheep. Now you're saying I was talking about "anyone who disagrees with you". :lol: You made my day.

Dude, you said the word sheeple in your post... Sheeple - It is often used to denote persons who voluntarily acquiesce to a perceived authority, or suggestion without sufficient research to fully understand the scope of the ramifications involved in that decision, and thus undermine their own human individuality or in other cases give up certain rights. The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by a perceived authority figure believed to be trustworthy, without processing it or doing adequate research to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them. The term is generally used in a political and sometimes in a religious sense.

I've edited my post just to let you know. I didn't get your point at first. Anyways, I do have to say that underground morphine usage should be frowned upon as well. I was mainly getting at the legalization for marijuana and not trying to put too much emphasis on the other drugs. I do think that if marijuana were to be legalized then people wouldn't inevitably put this nearly harmless drug in the same vein as drugs that are very harmful. It would give more credibility to the government. There are always exceptions to the rule. Like I said, there are cases where no one gets hurt while driving drunk but this doesn't mean we should ignore all the other cases where people do get hurt. Was this how things were with that survey? I assumed that, because we're talking about users and not just the drug in itself, that we should take into account the most common form of intake. Perhaps you should, because the topic being addressed was heroin use. You can play dumb all you want but it's quite obvious that you were stating people aren't doing their own research and being sheeple (i.e. government sheep). Since you weren't talking about heroin, I apologize, but it was what was being discussed so it was taken that way.
