Two, ever notice that medical studies that prove good things about pot are swiftly debunked and labeled lefty hippy hogwash? But the stuides saying it's bad never seem to be critizied even though most are funded by the drug companies. Anyway, I thought it was a well known fact that there is no seriously clear evidence of pot being bad or good, other then the obvious smoke in lungs, dangerous driving stuff.

Well, shit. I didn't realize we were going to look at crimes in a quantitative manner, and disregard the severity of each. I'll make sure to use this same approach the next time someone tries to tell me there's no difference between murder and petty theft.

You've been here a fairly long time now, and in most threads like this one (many) the point gets brought up that regardless of anything else, it's illegal, and then people retort with "it's illegal, but it's not that bad" and then they get "but, it's still illegal" That point has been made tons, and what I think is that, what's a law? nothing, it's someone else's idea, it's a piece of papier, it's nothing to me. So, just becuase it's illegal doesn't mean it's bad.

Argue all you want, but it is dangerous. That high kid, driving his car while trying to stuff a Twinkie into his mouth, is dangerous. Don't even dare call him an anomaly, 'cause I'll call you a willfully ignorant fuck.

Whoa man, getting a little hostile there, mabye you should smoke some pot, calm down, or open your mind a litte bit.
So, what your saying is that anything that affects people's abilty to drive should be illegal? well crap, good thing there is no such thing as alcohol, ohhhh wait, there is, and it's legal and booming in today's society. What excatly is the difference, between pot and alcohol? well, pot illegal becuase it messes you up, alcohol on the other hand, leaves you orderly, able to drive, and completly aware of what's going on. Well, pot does ... well I can't think of an other thing that pot does that even slightly comes close to all the bad thing's that alcohol does to you.

Damn. I'm sorry for basing my perception upon past experiences and events. Wait...! Doesn't everyone do that? Isn't that a basic fact of life?

Past experiences are fine to base perceptions, I think he wanted you to avoid basing on personal experiences, because you are on the interweb, you can easily say "man, pot ruined the life of 600 of my friends, leaving them dead on the side of the road dressed like a clown, missing one leg, ten feet from the mexician border" I think he wanted you to try to avoid generalizing, but alas, you said seem to love generalizations.
anyway man, just calm down,

I think he was just saying that just since it's illegal doesn't mean its bad.

Last time I checked, downloading an mp3 wasn't dangerous, where as I'm sure you wouldn't like it if your next bus driver was driving high.

I rather he was high then drunk, but i've already said all this and don't know why i'm saying it again.

IC3, Although I do agree with what your saying I think Sixate was saying that he just considers all intoxicates and many other things weak, and that he's not a weak person.

I am sure you know this already, But all that Nike stuff that everybody loves...It is made by people who are pretty much slaves working in sweat shops in Japan or somewhere like that. I know Nike isn't the only product that is being made by people like that..But it's one of the main ones...I can't remember the last time I bought something made by Nike. Just cause it says nike on it with that little stupid swoosh thing..They charge you up the ass for it..While it's being made for practically nothing.

Holy crap, this is a long post. Your close , not japan, but third world countries. It's called 'outsourcing'. Nike, as an example, is a huge company, they do nothing but advertize, Nothing. They hire contracters, who hired contracters, who hire contracters, etc. Eventually, they end up in what's called "free trade zones" in poor countries desprete for foreign money, they set this compounds up, large walled in areas akin to prisons. The workers, children and others, are not allowed to leave the site, if you get pregnant, you get fired. You work extremely long shifts for basicly no pay, not nearly enough to live on. These places exist because of massive tax subsidizations that they give to the contracters to make the products there, and Nike gets all profit.

I said this already I know, but still, I can't believe people can opperate with this sort of logic, sure, you can't drive with stoned, OR DRUNK! BUT ALCOHOL IS LEGAL AS THE SUN!
anyway, thanks for reading this if anyone got through it all
