Should marijuana remain illegal? Why should it be legal?
I tried to skim through the article, but I hate how it was written, it seemed to just babble on without giving anything important. I read the conclusions but that had no bearing on addiction at all. I'm all up for it being legal in uses that do not harm the user, and actually benefit them, such as medical reasons, I think it already is used for medical reasons here in the UK. I just think it is idiotic for some people to claim smoking weed does no harm, when basically your smoking half a cigarette, it shows no thought, just total bias. There won't be a recorded death directly attributed to it, because there never can be. As i explained the the post before yours, all the indirect effects it can have such as cancer through the smoking of it, will always be blamed on other things.

The problem is with the majority of death rates listed on-line with drugs, is that very rarely do they list indirect deaths. Whereas a majority of the alcohol and smoking ones do include indirect. This includes things such as cancers, drunken accidents, liver failures and things like those. If the death statistics included things like those, the indirect deaths, accidents and cancers caused by smoking weed, then the statistics would shoot up. I'm not saying it is as deadly as alcohol or smoking, but it is definitely deadly. Remember, the majority of joints will have at least half tobacco, which means your smoking half a cigarette basically. That means its half as deadly as a plain cigarette. Only half as deadly, but still deadly none the less. Another reason less of the lung cancer deaths would be attributed to weed would be because a good majority of people who do it, would also smoke regular cigarettes, so it would be attributed to that instead.

Should marijuana remain illegal? Why should it be legal?
Nicotine is in the tobacco, which is mixed in when smoking weed to make it burn, making it just as addictive. Can you give me solid proof that it does kill, or does not kill? If I can have solid proof you cannot die from it then I'm fine with that, but simply saying you can't I will not believe. The numbers are nowhere near proportional in terms of who smokes weed, and who smokes regular tobacco, and who drinks alcohol. There are 13million smokers in the uk, i can't get the exact statistics, but i would take a low estimate of at least half the adult British population drink alcohol on a regular basis. That would mean upwards of 20 million. Compare that to 3 million weed smokers, of course there will be less deaths, when there are massively less of them.

I agree just because it is cultural does not give something immunity, but it is much much harder to make it illegal if it is built into the culture of a country. But as I said, alcohol and smoking having less effect is no argument for the legalisation of weed. That is an argument to make the two of those illegal as well, which is the direction smoking is already going in the UK. A quick afterthought on the subject of smoking. With the Government spending money on anti-smoking campaigns, setting up special parts of the NHS to help people get over smoking addiction, and obviously overall trying to make smoking illegal totally, why would they suddenly let everybody start another form of smoking, just to have to go through the same things again with that?

Should marijuana remain illegal? Why should it be legal?
That whole paragraph should be scrapped, as it is totally null and void. Yes more deaths are caused by smoking and alcohol, but the numbers of people who do each are so different, the numbers cannot fairly be compared at all. Add that to the fact that a lot of Weed smokers will be young, healthy people, and a large amount of smoker and alcohol drinker will be 40+, even 60+ with other health problems too. So i think you should remove that whole paragraph to be honest. I also agree with Lenticular on the first page, if it were to be legalised, it would probably be the same as regular cigarettes are now, taken up by a large company, heavily taxed, and sold behind the counter. The argument of 'Alcohol and smoking are legal, but weed does less damage so that should be legal too!' Is also a null argument. That is an argument for making the two of those illegal, not legalising weed. And to be honest, smoking (at least here in the UK) is going in the direction of being banned in the next 10-20 years anyway. Alcohol may do more damage, but it is also entwined in western culture, especially British culture. We have pubs here that go back centuries, people have been drinking alcoholic beverages here since before most of the worlds countries were even formed, it is just part of the country.

Jagex Reveal Mechscape Details
I agree totally with mike. Jagex are trying something totally new. Wether or not it will work is another question, but you have to admire the guts to try something so out of the box.

Early start
Well, leading off from the last entry of me being very ill, I went to bed at about 7pm, the earliest I've been to bed since around the age of 10. It did me good to have a fairly good nights sleep. Unfortunately, I had a lecture today at 11. It may not sound early, but i have to be at the bus stop an hour before the lecture starts to get there on time, and i like to be out of bed an hour before i leave home to give myself enough time to wake up and get ready. So getting out of bed at 9 is what i had to do, and is what i did not enjoy. It wasn't a bad morning, met a friend at the bus stop randomly, so had a fairly fun bus journey, albeit a slow one, as the traffic was appalling. The lecture was good, we met a lot of the different people who would be teaching us on different blocks throughout the year at different times. It is amazing the different types of people that end up teaching history. One looked like a janitor, one looked like he could be a wrestler, one is an internet blogger, and one of the women is a very good looking woman haha! Annoyingly there was a fire alarm halfway through which wasted some time before the second half which was a short intro by what i would say is the best looking librarian in the world! Blonde, average height, very good face, and well, I'll stop there. Lets just say My eyes were fairly focused on one thing during that second half. Now I'm back home bored with nothing to do for the rest of the day. I really want to buy roller-coaster tycoon and play it here when I'm bored, i don't know why but I've got a hankering to play that game.

I feel like i'm going to die
Hope you recover from that fairly soon, i think going to bed at 7 last night has helped me a lot.

I feel like i'm going to die
Well I'm not literally going to die, but I feel incredibly rough. My eyes are burning, i can't stop coughing which is making my throat burn, I can't move my eyes left/right as it kills my head, and my nose won't stop running. Went to bed at 10pm last night and thought it would give me a chance to recover, did it hell lol. I'm doing some clothes washing right now, as soon as that's done I'm going to bed (or might eat some food first not sure). But for sure I'm having a very early night. That's about it for today, I can't really say much because I'm just ill, and its horrible, and I hate it. :(

Recover account?
You will have picked a new password when you sent the original recover. You need to log into the account management area, you can change things there.

Great concept. Only problem i see is that there are too many unique drops. I support nonetheless though.

Tree animations when being chopped down
The problem is though, tree's don't have a set number of logs they give before they fall. They will randomly fell after any amount of logs. Because of that, it would be hard to have it go down in stages, unless the stages were random.

Do you prefer Summer or Winter?
There is no better feeling than going to the beach with a group of friends during a hot summer day. Plus the festivals, long days, I just love summer. I hate being cold (like right now).

Eyes of Glouphrie help
This is the only thing i can give, which is from the Tip.It guide: The solution is to find the particular coloured shape associated with that number. There are four shapes (circle, triangle, square, pentagon) and seven colours. To find a number associated with a particular shape/colour combination you multiply the number of sides the shape has by the number associated with the colour. The colours are as follows: Red = 1 Orange = 2 Yellow = 3 Green = 4 Blue = 5 Indigo = 6 Violet = 7 The four shapes have the following values: Circle = 1 Triangle = 3 Square = 4 Pentagon = 5 This gives a total possible set of combinations as follows: Table of colour/shape combinations Shape Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet Circle 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Triangle 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 Square 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 Pentagon 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 If your still having trouble, try re-starting
