  1. ugh really dood, pole has more tar then cigarets, thc doesnt kill you yes, but smoking period is not good for you, and also there have been studies that show the fact that smoking pole causes brain damage over a period of time. it is a FACT that if you take an adult who has smoked pole habitually for a decade and compare them to a non smoker, the NON SMOKER will be in better health AND upon a mri the non smoker will have more activity in the brain. Obveously its not going to take a math genius and turn him into a retard. My point is IT IS BAD for you. Though I will agree there are alot worse things out there, we dont need the whole ""pole didnt kill anyone"" speech also you cannot say that pole is or is not addictive, there is no proof it is or isnt.

    Well since your writing, spelling and points are retarded...you must be stoned.

  2. It is interesting how the guy insisted he never saw the 40 mph sign, at least until he got 50,000 volts run through him. Suddenly, while lying there in a puddle of his own urine, he remembers seeing the sign, but he wasn't to the sign yet, so it was ok.

    Well, that just sounds stupid as hell. He didn't know the answer to the question till we tied him to a chair and beat him either...

    I didn't watch the vid, just saying that's a dumbass justification lol.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

  3. No, but I'll tell you what I'm about. To me it would be intellectually lazy to go through life accepting all popular opinion as fact. It is much harder to look at popular opinion and learn if the opinion has been adulterated to the point that it is no longer valid. When people make a choice to take what I perceive as the easy route and accept others opinion as there own it becomes a mindset of groupthink. Even as I present inarguable facts that blatantly contradict their popular held opinion, to them my facts become unclear or untrustworthy. Do to this mental stubborness and instability of core values they become easily offended.

    I'll quote Salman Rushdie who said, "The idea that any kind of free society can be constructed in which people will never be offended or insulted is absurd. So too is the notion that people should have the right to call on the law to defend them against being offended or insulted. A fundamental decision needs to be made: do we want to live in a free society or not? Democracy is not a tea party where people sit around making polite conversation. In democracies people get extremely upset with each other. They argue vehemently against each other’s positions. (But they don’t shoot.)"

    So your argument is that your opinion is different from history (consequently, it is an unpopular opinion) and therefore, history is wrong? And now, I'm a sheep also?

    I don't see how this is groupthink, defending a point that I agree with from the beginning (and in most cases, the opposite of whatever you say considering that you're on the other end of the spectrum) does not qualify.

    I'll quote Thomas Jefferson, who said, "I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature... Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make half the world fools and half hypocrites? To support roguery and error all over the world?" Hey, look! I can quote irrelevance too!

  4. So thats the only point you can make?

    Come on this guy is struggling! You appear to have chosen his side for whatever reason.

    For Gods sake, help him out!

    http://www.newint.org/issue226/killing.htm - "He directed eight major massacres, killing up to 3,000 Indians at a time. Mayan chiefs were incinerated alive as Catholic priests burned Mayan historical records. Alvarado rewarded his soldiers with the right to enslave the survivors."

    - specifically religious wars in France & Germany

    "The crisis climaxed on August 24, 1572, when Catholics massacred some 1,000 to 2,000 Huguenot civilians in Paris in a single night, known as the St. Bartholomew's Night Massacre. "

    I imagine there is plenty more, but I didn't bother to look.

  5. Here are a couple of questions for the liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, dumdocrats and the like I'd like answers to.

    1. Focusing on paying off government debt will personally get me where?

    2. Electing government officials who are not actively invoking spending cuts will increase what for me?

    3. Not funding the military in war time against a brutal undistracted determined enemy will make me what?

    4. What effect on me as the consumer and/or the overall economy have by raising taxes?

    Where in the article that "theForgottenone" linked to is there a mention or chart of revenue growth or decline after the Bush tax cut.

    Decline :/ http://www.cbpp.org/7-12-05bud.htm
