Beginning of the End of the Drug War?
its a no win situation either way. if you legalize it there will be a greater tax revenue for the government, plus the millions saved on the war, but it might cause outrage from parents who will see it as an incentive for their children to try it and might get hooked. if it stays illegal drugs will still cross the boarder as long as there is demand. obviously legalizing it is better as long as proper safe guards are met such as setting up a national regersty system where only specific amounts of each substance can be bought over certain time frames to reduce misuse.

the lucky of the unlucky
so i finally get my internet hooked up and i just got the urge to vent. what better way then a brand new topic! most of you probably have had this happen to you before. something terrible happens and someone tries to consol you by saying, "your were lucky, it could have been worse" while true in most cases theres a point where you just want to stop being so lucky! this topic is for those of you who want to relate those experiances and compare who is the most lucky of the unlucky! so heres how my moving experiance has gone for me building a brand new house that we were planning on moving into sometime in june. friends consol me by saying "well you could be moving into an old junk heap." two weeks later a fire starts in the basement. only the basement was damaged and friends consol us by saying, "it could have been worse, the whole house could have burned down." haloween repairs to the basement are finished. drunk teenagers deside to smash in our windows (curiously my window was the only one not smashed) friends again say, "it could have been worse, they could have robed you instead of just damaging the windows" january we finally decide to move into the new house before the water starts to turning to blood and the whole death of the first born stuff when the truck goes into the ditch. it could have been worse the truck could have rolled. oh, but not once, not twice, but three times did i hear that same phrase in the same month :wall: . needless to say the truck is now enjoying a stay at a friendly nieghborhood scrap yard. until finally today when we finally got an electrition out here to hook up our phone line but it turns out that in spring when the snow melts the area is prown to flooding and the phone lines, as well as the occasional building, tend to get washed away :thumbdown: that finishes my unlucky lucky story i'd like to think that no one could beat it but i doubt it.

Money Making with summoning updating at last
hazaa phone lines hooked up and i can begin playing again! the reason i didn't put stranger plants and some of the other foragers in is because on average you lose money with them per pouch instead of making any. only the foragers that i listed actually make money.

Money Making with summoning updating at last
i was thinking of doing that but it turns out that almost all of the familiars could be used for one benefit or another other than combat and i didnt want to do that for them all so i decided to just stay with money making for now. maby later when this is done ill expand it to all of them. just stoping by for a few mins while my wireless internet has connection. it will be another week or two before i get my phone line installed so i wont update the guide until then.

School and Dodgeball
same thing happened at my school but under different circumstances. it was only a small school i used to go to, most it had since i went their was like 60 students. we used to play dodgeball every rainy day in the gym but one day we had a transfer student. she was i think grade 6 but since it was such a small school we ussually had grade 5+ play a game of dodgeball while 4- stayed in class doing crafts ect. anyway we were getting ready to play ball when the pricaple came up to us and told us we had a choice. we could either play dodge ball and leave the new kid out of the game or ban it and play a different sport. we asked him why and he said that she had a brain disorder and couldn't be hit in the head or els she'd have seizures (i don't even think they're alowd to tell medical information?) we had a vote and that day until i left it we didn't have another game of dodge. we were a tight knit school so it never sat well with any of us if anyone had detentions or the like so i don't think that anyone really cared. sorta off topic. i went to a rifle training course one year... as the name implies it trains people how to use guns, only 16-18 year olds i think. any way at the end of the camp we get to design our own class shirts. we had this cool reaper with a scyth but instead of a handle it had a rifle stock. we also were going to get a class picture and we wanted each of us to have our rifle in the picture. the person who ran the camp said no because it was to 'violent'. ya.... this coming from a camp that was training people to use rifles? funny world we live in.

Who needs 8 hours of sleep?
This suggests that another polyphasic system works. if i'm understanding that right they actually got 4-8 hours of sleep plus naps so it sounds like its further contradicting your theory.

Father named child Adolf Hitler, and asks for tolerance
lets put it this way then, how do kids that young even know the meaning of the name unless they have already been told by their parents and that the name, not the deeds, are evil?
-
Father named child Adolf Hitler, and asks for tolerance
why is he going to bullied? is he going to be bullied just for that name or the fact that that name is associated with one person even though there have been lots of german's named adolf. in other words sterotyping.
-
Father named child Adolf Hitler, and asks for tolerance
yes its wrong that his parents named him that. but whats even more wrong is that children are being raised to believe that this behavior is exceptable and that germans are all evil nazis even though this happened when most of our parents weren't even born. don't agree with how they conveyed their message but it sure is effective.
-
Father named child Adolf Hitler, and asks for tolerance
i agree with the message not with how he went about doing it. although the way he sent his message is enforcing his point. whats that say when you people are getting so worked up over a name?? i'm sure that their have been other adolf's somewhere in history just like there have been other bush's and yet this kid who has done nothing wrong, who probably won't even know about his names legacy until later on in life? this kid will probably be teased, tormented, and ridaculed for his entire life for something that happened when his parents probably weren't born. again the parents went about it cruelly but this is one of the best ways i've seen so far to get across the point of intolerance that this world has. fyi: hitler first saw the swastica in a church, he never made it himself, so why is it so evil?

Fairy Tales - The Life in Them (Philosophical)
life can be great and all, but it can also be cruel. i view fantasies as a way to escape the world when it becomes to cruel and we arn't able to do anything about it. i'd rather read a book after a hard days work then ponder the mysteries of DNA

What do you think will end the human race?
You're actually trying to tell me the world will end with angels swooping down, destroying everything, followed by a dragon? :| I go to a Catholic school, even they suggest that Revelations shouldn't be taken seriously, let alone many parts of the bible that don't involve Jesus... Uh, I think the Human Race will fall under medical terrorism. Trauma Center, anyone? Some Catholic school -.- OT: How can they/you say that parts of the Bible shouldn't be taken seriously? The Bible is consistent, and historically accurate... It was written over the span of 2000 years, and yet never contradicts itself? Many of the events can be confirmed with sources recognized by the historical community... So yea, if you wanna know the end of the Earth.... read Revelation 'nuff said the mian calander says that the world will end in 2012 and quite frankly its been right more often then your book. personally i believe either an asteroid, or a miscalculation and the particle excelorator causes a black hole and life ends as we know it. failing anything els a supernova should do it.

What was the most scared you have ever been?
i used to be in air cadets for a time. i went on a rifle coach camp through them once.(passed it and means that i'm qualafied to teach people how to use low caliber rifles now :thumbsup: ) anyway on the second last day, last day is reserved for packing and a parade :thumbdown:, we had a band come in and had a concert. near the end of it it started to rain and and the sergants had us get formed out side to return to the barracks. things started getting worse just as we were about getting ready to march...... ever seen a funnal cloud the size of a milatary base before?? thats the only thing that i can describe what happened. the clouds that surounded the base just started to move around in a big circle around the entire base. basically everyone saw what was happening and a few hundred people just broke into a run down the street to the barracks. Mobs arn't fun even if half the kids are younger and smaller than you. the base i went to is called penhold, i don't have a pick but you can look it up to get a feel for just how big the funnel cloud was.

Are you a cat or a dog person?
can i be both? ya i hate when people stereotype. i've had literaly over a dozen cats and dogs so far. my first cat was called luna (her nick name was the lunatic...i can't help but realise the irony) she would literally not let a single person touch her and i remember great times when we would here a scream from another room and find the company standing on a chair with lunar prowling around in front of it this may seem bad but she only did this with people that she didn't know and made probably a better guard animal then a dog... actually held her own in severl fights with dogs to. then there was the cat i have now is called tony. hes a main coon and i honastly would have no other cat if i could. he goes with me whereever i go in the house. when i sit down he jumps on my lap. when i go to bed he curls up on my tummy or arm and is just a great companion. then their are the dogs. one of my first dogs was named bear, he died unfortunatly but i will always remember him. it always seemed as if he made it his lifes work to find ways out of the fence and mock us whenever we found a spot he would get through and fix it. i remember one time when me and my dad were putting up new wire over an area where he'd been squeezeing through the fence. he was watching us the whole time and as we finsihed i could swear that he was lauphing. he just took a few steps back and i could see my dad getting ready to leave. thats when he started to actually run at the fence. i was thinking that he was going to jump over it but instead he literally ran through! the fence. oh i will never forget the look on my dads face. i've got two new dogs now. ones name is teddy and he's the local bully... hes a pomeranian... and always picks fights with the rotwhilers next door. but he sometimes litterally wets himself when he meets a new person. thats just a few of the pets i've had over the years. each is different and thats while i'll never forget any of them.

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
i honastly can't even think of one logical argument why gay marrage should not be allowed. [hide=bible]most people will sight levictus 22-18 (or 18-22 can't remember which) as why being gay is sinful. the problem is this text is 2000 years old and most of its rules are out dated, such as stoneing adulterers ect. so this should have no weight when discussing the legality of an action. if all els fails the great book never actualy says anywhere that women marrying or lying with another women is sinful.[/hide] [hide=traditional marrage]most people preach that the sanctity or tradition view of marrage should be protected. this is a fluid deffinition at best and depends on your relligion ect and has changed many times over the mellenia. the traditiona view of marrage at one point was that the women should only, clean, cook, raise children, and it was even conisdered a crime at one point for a married women to deny their male partners sexual urges. and theres also that anoying little line at the end "till death do us part" strangely no one preaching traditional views of marrage mention these points.[/hide] [hide=reproduction]i saw this several times in this thread and it just made me laugh. some people are saying that because they can't reproduce then this is reason enough. by this same definition people who are infertile, either through nature or sergery, should also not be allowed the right to marry and that anal and oral sex should be illegal, as well as condomes because it does not help with reproduction. and lets face it the world is overpopulated enough.[/hide] [hide=STD's]ignorance is bliss. heterosexuals acually pass on more diseases then homosexuals. and the fact that some diseases are transmited by blood contact and not seminal fluid.[/hide] [hide=nature]the first few pages of this thread are pretty much devoted entirly to disproving that this is unnatural. and states that other species do engadge in homosexual intercourse.[/hide] all that i can think of for now i'm sure there will be others. in short gay marrage should be legal or at least provide an alternative that gives the same benefits as marrage so that all parties will be happy. have to go to work so did this in a rush sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

for canadian players. would you have voted for a coalition?
the govenor general canceled parliment not the prime minister, the alternatives were eith a vote of no confidence, which means another election straight away, or having the coalition take power when the majority of canadians are against the idea. this was a good decision because it gives the parties some breathing room to cool off. and has anyone seen the 10 minute speeches that were done by each of the coalition leaders? if you would have you noticed how each of the leaders have a different way in which the government should be run. whats that say when even the coalition leaders are out of sync? and the reason why people hate qubec is because they constintly ask for things from the rest of the provinces that that have not earned or deserved. and if the coalition does come to power the most likely event will be that they will begin asking the western provinces of canada for more and more resources at reduced maby even no cost. the western provinces, unlike quebec, can support themselves if they ever do decide that they've had enough of this [cabbage] and decide to seperate.
