I only wear jeans because I look sexy in them. And none of those tight future children killers. "Relaxed" fit is where it's at. I disagree. It's just a very select few who can properly wear them.

I like apple or banana chips. They're dangerously addictive. snip

My top favorite would be my avatar. I don't really know about the rest.

I never studied until I got to college and I still don't study that much. I need to study more and have been this semester, but old habits die hard. I really just learn best from the teachers.

Homemade magic ...er, chocolate chip cookies. Coincidently, the worst cookies I've ever had were ones made using splenda. Bleh!

The wise words of M.I.A. I fly like paper, get high like planes If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name If you come around here, I make 'em all day I get one down in a second if you wait

Just curious, what would you consider the "right reasons" to start smoking? To look cool, of course. Exactly. Who doesn't want to be like James Dean?

I SAW A FISH! And Francis: (hanging up crucifix) There's no cross in here. Every kitchen needs a crucifix. Stewie: Oh yes, nothing says eat up like a bleeding, half-naked Jew nailed to a piece of wood.

Think how smart I could be if only I could attain this state of "seizure"!

Fiiinnneee. I suggest buying a motorcycle and riding it to relieve stress. I should have one (hopefully) within the next six months. I can't wait! :thumbsup:

Marijuana, right? It has to be marijuana. Or crack. Everyone loves crack.

You mean when you compare a pack of cigarettes a day to a less than chronic marijauna user, say once every other day?

Hmm... Sounds a lot like Obama's health care plan... :roll: Keyword is "sounds." A socialism based health care system would provide the majority of the people with health care provided by the government. Obama's health care plan provides for a minority of the people. Really the ideal economic system is a mix of both capitalism and socialism. However, people seem to only ever think in extremes (current US administration). Simplified socialism definition in a slightly biased manner: The government monopolizes on every aspect of business, enabling it to control the economy. Over-protected child. Simplified capitalism definition in a slightly biased manner: The economy is left on it's own, completely ignored by the government. Uncontrolled child. See, neither extreme really works in any situation except an ideal one. I hope that clears some things up. Edit: two posts in before mine. Damn.

You know I think PETA is winning. They have our attention; they've succeded in their goal. Therefore, to combat them we must ignore... uh, er ignore... who?

Most US banks don't need money; they're sitting on piles of it and that's the problem. Many banks are scared to anything with their money and are being very conservative with it. Many are buying T-bills that have .05% interest. The current plan is to essentially buy the bad assets (the ones that are worth practically nothing) off the banks, so that their net worth is higher and the banks have confidence to spend some of those piles of money. Of course, that is extremely simplified, but that's the gist of it.

I guess instead of beef, we should use human meat as well. Mmm, nothing like a good cannabalistic cookout with fresh human burgers and breast milk.

Just so you know: It's a cool website and has a lot of information (as the name suggests) on political economy terms. I believe Palin said that. CNN Article

No, I'm suggesting that, much like exercise, television, music or meditation, kicking back with a beer is yet another way for somebody to "relax." I see your distinction, and for this reason my original advice was not to "smoke weed instead," regardless of what pryo's edit implies. I see what you're saying now. When I read your intial post, it seemed as if you were suggesting self-medication. The FACT is cannabis is a non-lethal drug. The FACT is it is bad for you. Don't confuse non-lethal for not bad for you. This is off-topic though and there are plenty of marijuana threads floating around (somewhere) where this has been argued again and again. In fact, I think I've said that before in those other threads.

According to small children, they are quite tasty.

Are you including their tax plans inside of their economic plans? Well, true, I wasn't really thinking of tax plans. In that, they're quite different. It does seem as though McCain is copying Obama, but I think that just has to do with a general concensus on some issues amongst economists. It seems like the big thing economists differ on are taxes.

I do not mean to "show off" my knowledge, I'm simply trying to share it. Alcohol, when used in moderation, can be extremely benefitial to one's health and longevity.[1] Kicking back with a beer is, for many, a great way to relax. You say cannabis as a stress-reliever is "seriously bad advice." When used in moderation, how is this so? I should let Merciful just respond, but your statement kind of bothers me. The bolded is irrelevant unless you are suggesting he drink his stresses away, but I'm sure you're not arguing that. What you're suggesting is self-medicating a symptom, which doesn't fix the problem; that's "seriously bad advice." Cannabis is fine to use to relax, but not to make yourself relax.

I'm compelled to hit you very hard with a sledgehammer for saying that. Studies have also shown that sledgehammers have a lot of bad consequences.

This just made me laugh (at both camps). They're like little kids: As far as I can tell, the two candidates have very similar economic plans, but continously try to treat them as different or say they thought of it first.

The fact that you can control how much tobacco goes into your cigarette makes it much better though. I can make very small cigarettes that get me through the day rather than smoking a few larger filtered ones. True, and I've seen people who can roll a cigarette faster than some people can take one out of a pack. :shock:
