Korn, RHCP, and Nirvana got me into rock. St. Anger by Metallica is what opened up my doorway to metal. I never liked Metallica until that song came out, but now I enjoy their older stuff more than the new.

Am I the only one that thinks "the problem with evil" should win the Biggest False Dilemma Award?

Where did you get that from? Smarter people have an easier time overcoming obstacles than dumber ones.

If you read back, I am for legalization for marijuana but against heroin. Truenoob disagreed and said heroin should be legal too. Venomai: Sorry, I didn't mean to say that the only thing we should be looking at is the danger factor - there are other things to take into account (medical use). It might not be the perfect standard, but it sure as hell is a lot better than our current one. You can't just strip the whole morality/legality mentality from existence. It's inevitable. People are more likely going to think there are negative effects to that which is illegal than to that which is legal. The best approach would be to take advantage of this and make our (inevitable) standard a more accurate one. These are also widely abundant which speaks for the amount of deaths they have caused. That is completely understandable but I don't see how drugs such as heroin or meth can be used very responsibly. Sure, there are cases where people don't have their lives ruined from the drugs but there are also cases where people don't get into car accidents while driving drunk. Which speaks for the dependency but not the lethality. Using heroin one time is far more dangerous than smoking a cigarette even though cigs can be considered more addicting.

Yes, I agree. The government shouldn't be telling us what to do for ridiculous reasons. However, let's put this into context. If something has a huge detrimental effect (bad outweighs the good) then safety should come first. Can you enlighten me on how heroin being legal would benefit society? Because I can give several reasons on why it doesn't. I thought we were ignoring the effects these actions have on society? As for your argument about being designed to fulfill an outcome, I don't get it. If I keep committing an action which accidentally kills thousands of people, that is more acceptable than an action where I purposely kill one? It doesn't work that way. Legality should be based on the inevitable outcomes and not just the intentions alone. So it has to do with who they are and not what they're saying? Not everyone who feels that heroin is bad are "government sheep". :roll:

In most cases, heroin, meth, and coke lead to this. Laws are changed in order to give benefits to society. Can you honestly tell me that these are beneficial? You need more support than "cause I don't want to be told what to do". I heard your argument loud and clear but it's lame. I guess suicide bombing should be legal too. You're ignoring the significant effect these drugs leave on society.

No. They should all be legal. The state has no justification to tell you what you can and cannot do to yourself. It's not just what you're doing to yourself. It's what you're doing to others around you as well, especially in the case of these hardcore drugs. That type of drug use should be discouraged at all times. And while marijuana is illegal, it doesn't give the state much credence when it comes to what drugs are bad. If marijuana is legalized there will be a tangible standard to go by and it will serve to show the public, illegal = bad, legal = okay. Edit: My bad on putting ecstasy in the same vein as the others. Ecstasy should be legal too.

9368 I've been known to fluff the [cabbage] out of essays (opposite of summarizing). I got the highest grade in my English 3 class. Go me. 8-)

The more people involved, the more likely there is to be drama. It's just a rule of thumb.

I've been looking into this lately so it's been scaring me. I don't want to combust. There have been about 200 cases of SHC. Does anyone know how/if it's even possible? How about any tips to avoid it? Thanks. :D

I'm the loser that everyone hates. No complaints here though. Negative attention can be a good thing for your character. ;)

9374 If it wasn't for fate, you wouldn't have said that.

9376 I didn't even start mine yet. I have to type a 10 page report on proving fate exists.

Eye crust annoys the hell out of me. It's so unattractive to look at and irritating to have.

Haha. That will be a funny story to tell your grandch- oh yeah... Sorry. :(

Debate the existence of god. That should keep you busy.

The left side of the brain is for logic and the right side is for intuitivism. If this has anything to do with what hand you use for writing, then I guess you could say there is some causation going on here.

Why don't they put nicotine in McDonald's food then?

I blame it on the vice pres.

9390 So do I. This sucks. :(

This is one of the reasons I quit RS. You don't even have to use the skill to train it. I was fine with PC (because then you had to sacrifice Slayer) but things are getting too far. I liked skills when they used to be a mean - not an end.

Well, he could do the coordinates by hand and use smaller dots.

It depends on the stage they are at of their evolution. Earth didn't always have intelligent life. It took millions and millions of years for us to get where we are today. If there is life somewhere out there, then they will most likely evolve into intelligent life given some time.

You didn't put me on there. :cry:
