My apologies romy, I fogot :oops:. I should look at names before quoting and labeling gender. And Zierro, you have avery good point, but I believe in moderation. Again, we're speaking about how I feel all of this is. I would never eat that much chocolate at one time. "That" being any large quantity. I'm not huge on anything. I believe life is a balancing act, where every variable you encounter has to be moderated to exterminate gluttony. Self control is a huge part of that. Addiction pretty much negates self control. But going back to smoking and pot, these things have very high negative sides. So much so, I don't see anything positive enough to counterbalance them. Therefore, I will never indulge in such activities.

We found one solar system that almost potentially had life and suddenly we're not alone? Psh. Who's to say all of the other planets haven't been crushed by radiation? [Yes I'm playing devils advocate, I do infact beleive there are very humanoid life forms out there somewhere]

I'm utterly serious. She knows about it because I was silly enough to tell her. I don't mind too much, though. I doubt she'll post frequently, or even go on much. (And it's not like she doesn't know about my Runescape addiction.) And the fact that I use the same alias for basically everything else made identifying my account very easy. Pming is a good idea, though. Since if she is most definitely not slow by any means. Even though I doubt she'd stalk these forums enough to make the connection, one can never be too sure. I was refering to RPG saying he would dump his GF for making a TIF account... My girlfriend would never know I have a TIF account. No one I know in real life knows I have one. Not even my old Runescape buddies. If by some extreme circumstance my girlfriend ever did find my TF account, I'd be forced to break up with her. I don't see a relationship working after all the stuff I post here. TIF is like the inner workings of my brain. The creepy deepseated stuff no one is supposed to see. Like I'm posting right now about breaking up with my girlfriend [no not hypothetically, like I'm going to go do it in like 2 hours]. Here on TIF I could explain exactly why and feel like no one is judging me and it's okay. No one in my real life is allowed to know why. No one.

hot chick, lucky man :thumbup:

The fact that it isn't goverment regulated actually concerns me more, so I may have been uninformed of its source, but taht doesn't change anything about my opinion. I'd actually prefer it was government regulated. That way people would be less inclined to use it recreationally. No one likes partying with the government.

The main reason is that addicting drugs are more than usualy seen in a bad light, while the freedom to sexual orientations is seen in a liberal light, etc. What he said. And there's a difference between being uneducated and being brainwashed. Which am I? Which are you? Neither of us can really "prove" eachother wrong. In a sense we're both right. Why? Because at this point we're just arguing over my zealous position on the matter.

Say what? Did I miss something? I'd like to hear this piece of advice... Learn how to not get a boner. I could find the exact post if you want. I'd like to here this :lol: and TanTT...consider suicide. I can't imagine the situation you're facing right now. I shudder to think anyone in my real life ever makes a TIF account. also, I am a guru damn it! <.< :lol:

Right, and the Bloods and the Crips have nothing in common either. Goth = Intelligent poet Emo= Nonconforming genre of music Punk= Anti-establishment based genre of music Other than music tying Emo and Punk together, the only thing else they have in common is that they normally have black hair. I'm diggin' your opinion on the subject :thumbup:. Glad someone's doing research. I wasn't aware of the origins of "modern goth" but I know now. Learn somethin new e'er day :D

Pink 1959 Pontiac Bonneville, white roof, chrome spoked wheels and decal, topped off with hydrolics and black tinited windows. I think I need to change my pants. I couldn't find a picture but this is close: [hide] [/hide] I love that tail <3

...my personal experience "disproves" yours, just as yours would "disprove" mine. So why don't you provide sources to back up your claims, because until then your claims have no substance. Also, stop being such a condescending [wagon]. Those sources I provided aren't "by potheads for potheads" (did you even click the links?). And hey, while you're at it, why don't you "prove yours". Honestly no, I didn't click the links but I appreciate your logic in pointing out my flawed argument. Touche. I am condescending, but I do it for [ateast what I believe to be] the greater good. If you can look upon your "junkie" friends and consider them responisible, and through your eyes meet high expectations, than they are doing well for themselves. My only bone to pick with them would be to question why they need to subject themselves to foreign substance. And marijuana is infact addicitive, just not chemically. It's a psychological thing. Moving an opiate junkie onto marijuana won't be satisfying to their desire for a better high. Even if it did, they'd rely so heavily on the marijuana, they'd become psychologically dependant on it, which to me is pretrty much the same thing as an addiction. It's true, I don't have any buisness telling people how to run their lives. But if they're willing to sacrifice their welbeing to rebel against my sometimes overbearing cynacisms on humanity, that's really up to them. I respect that it's everyones decison for themselves, but those who make the wrong decision in my eyes will be looked down upon. Simple as that. Now excuse me as I dabble around in your links that I probably should have read before posting [EDIT] okay, now that I've read them, I have this to say. Those articles were out dated. Most of them were between the eras of 2006 and 2007. This is 2010. not to say that old news is bad news, but I can prove myself by linking things too. INfact this one comes from one of the same sites you used: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/01/080123104017.htm Not to mention that the one link about the similiar gene notations sounded like someone flipped through a biology book and threw some words together. Looking legit and being legit are two different things.

If your girlfriend makes a TIF account, you should consider suicide. In reality yes, make a new account, or just PM one of the known gurus. But if my girlfriend ever made a TIF account, I'd break up with her immidiatly for personal space invasion. TIF is my sanctum. No one from my life can ever enter.

1) Wikipedia isn't the best source in credibilty 2) I would infact moderate over any kind of painkiller, making it only available while in the hospitals. Because as you said, it can be abused 3) Marijuana treats opium dependancy? psh. all it does is move the addiction from one substance to another. 4) I think my personal observations are more valid than research. Especially when this research is primarily done by potheads for potheads. I can see my results with my own two eyes. Prove yours.

I see where you're coming from now, but you're basing your entire opinion off of a few select experiences. Of course there are going to be people who are worse off thanks to drugs, just as there are people who are now better off. You're only looking at one side of the coin. I just think we should take things as they are. Drugs alone aren't good nor evil. In the wrong hands, of course they can be bad, just like literally every object on this planet. (Pencils can be used to blind someone you dislike.) But, in the right hands, they can be extremely beneficial. I hate when drugs get a bad rap because a bunch of idiots were being irresponsible. It's the same as hating cars just because a drunk driver took your family away. As for those advocates giving out skewed data, I agree completely. People should know both the pros and cons to drugs and then make the decision on their own. Letting conflicts of interest and biases interfere with the information being conveyed to the people is just unfair. And I see it among both sides of the debate. This is also tributed to the fact that when it comes to humans, there are no "right hands" only wrong ones. I see the human race as a bunch of disgusting corrupt, selfish beings. I'm not perfect either, and am flawed. But the way i see it, legalizing medicinal mariijuana only makes a fairly easily obtained drug even more available. And if it's more available, more people are suseptable to try it. The more taht try it, the more likely it is to have it fall into "the wrong hands". I'd rather contain the problem and let no one have it. If no one has it, it can't be abused. And I'm not just talking about the drug itseslf, its the things the drug will cause you to do. I've seen people stoop to rediculous lows for a hit, and its flat out disheartening. And although I get what you're saying, I would never hate driving for the drunk drivers. I'd blame both alcohol for existing, and the person for being weak willed. I understand your point though. Thank you for being reasonable, most I debate with this I end up getting into major fights with :lol:

Those hot wings that apraently expired 4 years before I ate them. That'll teach me to read the label.

Something about this made me laugh. Not sure if it was the wide-eyed expression, or the funky pepsi bottle. Possibly both.

Turns out the guy my ex was sleeping with had erectile dysfuntion. I lol'd. Then I felt better about myself. ...as long as we're on the subject I thought I'd contribute :lol:

And you don't find that close-minded? Calling me close minded is going to open a whole new can of worms that I don't think you'd be willing to deal with. I admit, it's a bold statement. Close minded? I don't think so. Radical? Yes. Just to clear any confusion, I'm not saying, "If you don't smoke then you're a close-minded person." That would be pretty close-minded of me. Some people might have very good reasons not to, such as health problems, not enjoying the effect, or perhaps enjoying the effect too much. But by the sound of your cancer comment, it seems like you are pretty unreceptive to the idea that marijuana can be a positive thing (or at least a better choice than dying of cancer), which is where I think the close-mindedness comes into play. Unless of course you have some bold support for your bold statement. I don't mind opening cans of worms. I've always been interested in drug debates. I am infact afflicted with a lung condition where smoking would practically kill me instantly [premature birth ftw?]. But my main reasno for being so anti-drug is because I've seen drugs change people. I've lost a lot of very close friends to drug abuse and alcohol dependency. it alters your life style in ways I would never give into willingly. After reading and debating with literally dozens of people, I do see that marijuana under iedal condtions does have some benefits. Especially economically. But I reamin very against it for my own reasons, and the unwillingness to accept that makes those who call me close-minded seem rather hypocritical. And I have low tolernce for hypocrits. So forgive me when I imply that marijuana is over all a horrible substance that I wish to remove from the slate of existance, because I have seen with my own two eyes the horrors it can cause and the lives it can consume. Maybe it doesn't literally kill you, but it might as well. So you can keep your faulty research and propoganda spewing advocates, but I've made my opinion. you can spit facts at me all you want, but I've personally witnessed contrary.

KoRn, Red-Hot Chili Peppers, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine all have incredible bass players. As for their names, only Flea's comes to mind. But out of them, I'd probably asy Tool is my favorite bass. The Pot <3 [amazing bass song]

Say what? Did I miss something? I'd like to hear this piece of advice...

in person > call > text > IM

Lent, I find myself agreeing with you more and more. Text flirting is not only easy, but its pretty fun. But you don't wan tto put yourself in shoes you can't fill. You can be as flirty as you want in text (or even IM) but if you can't meet that standard in person, it's just not gonna work out. And be sure that you're calm when takling to girls. It helps alot. It helps me to pretend like the girl means less to me. Less pressure that way. It gets easier, especially as the relationship progresses

Call me stubborn, then. I'm not saying what you're saying doesn't make sense. In fact you have some pretty good arguments, but I stand by my heavily implanted anti-drug belief system. It just urkes me when people think I'm narrow minded for having such an opinion. Just because i don't follow the general opinion of the masses doens't make me close minded. In fact, I think myself more open minded than most liberals. But tahts a whole 'nother can of worms I'm not sure i should open in such a controversial topic.

Letting nature takes its course leads to few relationships... but not necessarily good ones. The more experience you gain from relationships and the more girls you get to know on a personal level, the more successful your future relationships become. And no, [bleep] buddies and one night stands don't count as experience You don't sound very happy >_> Judging by your recent posts I'd say yes, you do have a deep underlying issue. But that's up to you to fix on your own. Do you wanna be flawed for the rest of your life? Do you want to be normal? Or do you want to learn to make the best out of each and every experience-- good and bad? Doesn't sound like you're having much fun right now. . . if you were I don't think you'd be coming to this forum for reassurance Just my two cents 2 cents ackknowledged :thumbup:. You're right. I'm not happy. But my ironic sarcasm makes me feel better.

Well, that's the thing. It can be dangerous to you, but at the same time it's also healthy. It's like saying injecting yourself with chemicals in needles can't be healthy at all, but that's what many vaccines are. We are all dying right now, but for people who know of certain causes (say they have a tumor) they can lengthen their life by using marijuana to slow death. We don't know what causes cancer, yet alone what can cure it at the moment. I find it extremely hard to believe it helps with cancer and if someone wishes to lengthen their life by smoking marijuna, the amount you would have to smoke in all likeliness leaves me in doubt to their state of mind for the extra little time it would give them. Also, on the subject of gay marriage. I have to say that Archimage's posts are brilliant (not sucking up), props to you. No, we don't know what can cure it, but we do know what can slow it down. Curing is not the same as slowing down. You can also read in the articles that it's not like you have to smoke a ton just for a little, because by slowing it down you're able to also have more time to use other treatments. It's not like you're smoking marijuana alone as a cure. Alright, let's hypothetically say it actually DID slow down the rate of cancer. Don't you think the other side effects of being high off your arse would kind of counter any benefit it might have? Personally, I'd rather die of cancer than smoke marijuana. Yes that's a bold statement, but I stand by it. Does marijuana have all of these magic properties if it is not smoked? If you injested it, does it still have these magic anti-cancer traits? Even if it did, it still has negative effects on the brain, including dopamine unbalancing and other not-so-good chemical effects. I'm not saying it'll rot holes in your head like ecstacy can, but smoking is smoking no matter how you look at it. And THC will always be THC.
