I like stubborn boogers. It can be a grueling challenge at times, but when you do finally get them out you get such a great feeling of satisfaction.

lol you like a bald guy Jeff: I think those are the only pretty athletes I've ever seen in my life.

In return, I will attack your credibility and assume that you have never touched any of them, that you've just been exposed to a large amount of propaganda, and that you haven't done enough research on how some people do use those drugs as a responsible recreational activity, the scientific (not political/governmental) facts about the substances, and how there are a handful of legitimate reasons to legalize it. [1] [2] [3] [4] Of course some items will be more addicting than others, but addiction should not be the only thing you take into consideration when we're talking about detriments to society (and if it is, I point you in the direction of legal nicotine). While people might not get "physically addicted" to video games they can still end up losing their social lives, jobs, physical health, and even commit suicide over them. This does not suggest video games are a detriment to society at all - it suggests irresponsibility itself is. Unless you give me some solid evidence (not hearsay) that heroin and such are so much more of a detriment to society than everything else, I'm going to wager that you don't really know as much about the drugs as you claim to. As for expenses, again it is dependent on the user. For some, buying lottery (you'd be surprised how much money is spent on gambling alone), porn, art, cars, exotic animals, food, vacations, alcohol, and drugs are all very expensive vices. For others, they balance their finances quite rationally. There are people who overdo things. I already know this. But there are also people who don't, and they don't deserve punishment for another man's mistake. And most importantly - it is their money to spend. I don't get why expenses have anything to do with legalization either. If anything, getting it off the streets to make it a less expensive vice should be the direction of your argument, but I don't see that. The bottom line is that throwing somebody in jail, who is being responsible and not causing any harm to anyone, is a huge load of [cabbage].

Of what...? Don't tell me you're into dirty laundry This is too inappropriate for TIF. I take it back. :uhh:

Just as a gamble-holic will stop at nothing for his next lotto ticket, or a pothead for his next fix, or a World of Warcraft junkie. There are plenty of people who actually do use those hardcore drugs responsibly (I remember Venomai referencing this to me but I don't remember the links). But then yes, there are people who "throw their whole lives away for it" but just remember that this occurrence isn't exclusive to hardcore drugs - not by a long shot. Why should the idiots ruin it for everyone? As for a dispensary not being logically feasible, what do you mean? Too much of a liability because of the items in question? We already sell guns, pills, nicotine, alcohol, lottery, and pornography, safely. Is crack really that much worse - or is it just that the ghetto gives it such a bad name (being a highly illegal activity and all)? PS: I believe one of the big reasons that hardcore drugs have such a correlation with serious crime is because of the fact that the drugs are also a crime. It is completely in the hands of the underground thug culture. And many of them want it to be illegal.

You should not be thrown in prison for being an individual user that is not causing harm to others. Those hardcore traffickers you mentioned, on the other hand, are a detriment to our society and should be treated as such. So are the people who do (notice how I did not say "might") endanger others while under the influence, and should be treated as such. Perhaps add "under the influence while committing crime" as an additional charge to use against them, but the constant generalization of being a user and being an immoral sadist who is bound to commit a serious crime has got to go. Like I said, the mere possession of it is not anything worth punishing. I mean, we don't arrest people for watching gang movies, which probably has a similar correlation with drug use when it comes to "harming society/increasing crime". Also, with drugs being legal, trafficking wouldn't be regulated by underground crooks.

I agree. I think the idea of throwing people in prison for the mere possession of drugs is quite silly.

When you get a clean cup out and put it on the counter, get a drink from the refrigerator, and then accidentally pour the drink in some other dirty cup because you thought it was the one you just got out.

The smell. :mrgreen:

They're actually not bad... At least, the taste isn't bad. They're a major grease pit. The sogginess is my biggest concern. I had a Philly and the bread was pure mush.

Ah, what people will do for their next buck.

Anybody at anytime for any reason.

Mixing a stimulant with a depressant doesn't sound too safe: "Students whose motor skills, visual reaction times, and judgment are impaired by alcohol may not perceive that they are intoxicated as readily when they're also ingesting a stimulant," said O'Brien. "Only the symptoms of drunkenness are reduced but not the drunkenness. They can't tell if they're drunk; they can't tell if someone else is drunk. So they get hurt, or they hurt someone else." "Mixing powerful stimulants contained in some energy drinks with depressants in alcohol could cause cardiopulmonary or cardiovascular failures, said David Pearson, a researcher in the Human Performance Laboratory." So why does meth cross the line, but caffeine+alcohol drinks do not?

Today I vacuumed my carpet for the first time in months. Too many fuzzes.

Speaking of that, I don't get what the purpose of that was. I for one enjoy the challenge of getting shunned by popular opinion. Yet another case where suicide is one of the most absurd of options. Maybe they just weren't proud enough.

So somebody's desire to have homosexual sex is more 'important', or more irresistible/powerful/needed, than somebody's desire to rape? How do you know who wants what more, or who holds which to a higher regard (whatever you are implying)? I don't even understand how Maslow's hierarchy of needs is applicable here. I said that, like the acts of rape and murder, homosexual actions are something that is possible to overcome. I do not agree that it should be overcome (because I don't see it as a sin), but it is just as possible to overcome as the other things. You're right - "style" is so gay.

I decided, before pulling my hair out with the millions of soft resets I'll have to deal with for a perfect FF9 play through, I'm going to go for a perfect FF8 file instead.

That's the old fart I was referring to.

I've come to really appreciate Old English. Its demographic is mainly focused on elderly hipsters.

Domino's dastardly disgusting sandwiches. They blew my mind.

I like seeing how society acts when their reputation isn't on the line.

Ever tried fighting off a burglar with a knife? Oh that's right, good old reliable Poochy has everything under control. Drug laws don't really prevent drug trafficking in America. And being an 'American right', I don't think Americans would give up guns so quickly either. So I guess you could say yes, it does have something to do with the culture. And intimidation (to prevent further conflict [or to exacerbate it]). Why do you people always assume that they're just going to trip over their shoelaces and fall onto their gun and kill themselves?

Homosexuality itself cannot be overcome, but the act of it can. In that regard, it is the same as having a desire to steal and murder and rape, but not acting upon it. The thing that doesn't make logical sense to me though is why homosexuality is considered a sin or immoral in the first place. Strange? Maybe. Immoral? How so when it causes no harm? This only supports the theory that people use religion as a tool for power.

Wonder how many camels Tripsis is worth. :-k

I just looked at a bunch of pictures and here's a list of all the beautiful places that interest me: Slovakia, Macedonia, Hungary, Italy, France, Slovenia, Liechtenstein, Germany, Greece, Canada, Australia, Norway, Andorra, and Antarctica.
