I'm 98% sure that is a urban myth and/or something they tell you in school. Although with ecstacy I've heard that happen to some girl who drank too much water 'cause she was told that she needed to drink some water while doing ecstacy. Though that might be an urban myth too.

I never understand why people say nicotine is the most addicting thing out there. Why would that be? How is it calculated? I'm pretty damn sure if you used heroin for 10 years and then tried to quit it, it would be harder than quitting nicotine. And smoking kind of sucks, though most of my family does it. But there's that other plant there. Which I have nothing to do with. :)

Yes. And neither was USSR a communist country. At best some sort of a fugly mutation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism, a bit of badly managed socialism and dictatorship. Although the short era of Lenin wasn't that bad. Lenin actually said he never wanted Stalin to become a president. But let's not start talking about USSR here. [/semiofftopic]

Wow you should be thankful, I live in England and it is a perfect place to live. We have the greatest Wellfare state in the world. We still have a monarchy yet have the best democracy. We conquered the world and had the greatest empire ever known. We're an island with a great strategic postion. As well a prosperous economy. What could you possibly not like about Britain? I live in Finland. And from what I've read, we have a better welfare system (More stuff free? How do you rate it :-s ) than you guys. Also, how do you rate democracy? And for that greatest empire, one could argue it was only bad what you did.

Why not? I've seen him do good for the most of the population of Venezuela. Maybe not for the oil-owners/americans but meh, it's Venezuela, not USA.

First, cigarettes have like 4000 thousand chemicals. (That's what my heatlth education book tells me) And secondly, that HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING! WHEE! :mrgreen: Your average hamburger with fries has the same amount.. Or a steak or something. The amount of chemicals has nothing to do with anything. Christ. Try thinking for yourself for once. And if someone's ignorant enough to claim nicotine has no effect on you, he isn't worth listening to in this kind of conversation. Ps. This might seem like I'm defending smoking, but I'm not, I don't smoke. I'm also not trying to flame anyone, even if it might look like that. :

I dislike people who whate smokers, they whine about 2nd hand smoke, that's health concerns have been greatly exaggerated. And you can avoid it too if you really want to. Cars & other pollution do much more damage. Smoking cigarettes relaxes you and so on, so it isn't "purely psychological". It's nicotine going to your brains. I don't smoke but I don't condemn people that do. My parents + a lot of my relatives smoke. Of course I've tried smoking, but I don't like the effects that much so meh. A joint is a different thing with your friends sometimes. It isn't good for your health, but meh, alot of things aren't too. And you do them. :ohnoes:

Venezuela, on it's path.

Venenzuela, Hugo Chavez. I think he's one of the best socialist leaders in a long time. He has done good job for the majority of the people, and I think that's what counts, not the oillords. USA been pretty pissed about not getting their oil? Or so I've heard. I think Communism may not work for a long time in our society, but a mix of socialism/capitalism with a lot more socialism might be the best option. The welfare system here in scandinavia works pretty good, and it's a part of the leftist/socialist ideals. Pretty messy post, because of umm... :-$

Am I the only person typing BBCode tags by hand and finding it faster than pressing the buttons?! Or am I just mad... I've been doing that since ages ago. I just did that with the above quote too, and the former underline. You're not the only one. I think it's faster not to click the buttons, when you don't have to move your hand to the mouse. Or something. I posted this post without looking at the keyboard. Woohoo.

Cheer up - Bob Marle :-k Fool In The Rain - Led Zeppelin This cheers me up. :)

If you're thinking about ever getting linux/dual booting with it, Nvidia would be better. They offer better drivers for linux. :) And I'd prefer amd, better bang for the buck. But I don't that you're sister needs that kind of computer for Far Cry & Colin mcrae 2k6. Although I'm not sure about mcrae, never played, but Far Cry would do with -500$ computer easily.

I thought most of the people would've been right wingish but better this way. :) Economic Left/Right: -7.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97 np. John Lennon - Power to the People :P

I've had a creative zen, and it has worked pretty well for me. Though it had to get repaired once but I had warranty. I think they're all pretty keen on braking up. -.-

Somehow, I sincerely doubt he killed his parents over a marijuana addiction. It's not heroin, it's not crack, and it certainly isn't ecstacy. It is, if you look on the effects, less dangerous than alcohol. I see no reason of why it should be illegal, but then again, nor do I see a reason why my tax money should be used to pay healthcare for people with alcohol related health issues. Yeah, Marijuana doesn't do anything like that. And psychological addiction means you just want to have the drug, like you wanna have a hamburger. And most of the people that smoke marijuana don't even become psychologically addicted, it's just the small minority with easily-addicted personalities. Which probably shouldn't use any drug, legal or not, anyway.
