What world event do you want to see happen in your life time?

xXxYOLOxSWAGxXx_420BlazeIt

1/2. Why?

3. I so want to agree with this.

4. Not really into European cars.

5.umm, maybe?

6. Ooh, I like that.

7. That's gotta happen soon.

8. IDK why, but ok?

9. Yes, yes.

10. You talking about @Trik'Stari?

11. I don't smoke pot, so I don't care.

12. Umm, Ferrari is actually pretty good.

13. Well, really, there's no choice. Fossil fuels are limited.

14. Yes! Justice for the LGBT community!

15. Don't be sexist.

16. Again, why?

1/2. California is the cancer of the U.S (obviously not the people of LTT who live there). California should realize that forcing car companies to have a zero emissions car is the decision of federal government, not the state government. Furthermore the kill switch should be decided by the federal government, not the state. Also, the recent bill they passed forcing paid sick days. Florida was kind of a joke.

7. Fall of Dubai because they are the spawn of Satan there. Douchy kids having cars worth 1 million +, the treatment of women is horrendous, the city was built by corruption.

10. I should clarify to the conspiracy theorists who believe 9/11 was done by the government.

12. Ferrari thinks they are so high and mighty, even though they are not, a la Deadmau5 Purrari.

15. I'm all for equal rights and pay for women, but modern-day feminism is nothing but bitching and moaning constantly. 

16. The Real Housewives on Bravo and Honey Boo Boo on TLC.

Yes, that's all well and good. Except for the people I know and have met that have good jobs and careers and families and are habitual smokers.

 

You see, theres this little thing called self control, and personal responsibility. A drug doesn't make you do something, you choose to do or not do that thing. I smoked in my first bout of 9th grade and didn't do my work because I wanted to hang out with friends and smoke, I don't blame the pot, I blame my being a dumbass and skipping school and not doing bullshit homework. (always did good on tests oddly enough)

 

A drug doesn't MAKE you do something, you choose to do that thing, or not. End of story, Blaming a drug for your actions is a way to duck personal responsibility for your own actions.

I would like to see the worlds dependence on Oil to be done.  No need for oil and I'm sure there will be a lot less conflicts.

 

Also would like to see the worlds governments actually supporting ALL the people that voted them in and not just the super rich.

"Other good news from the study was that previous research had shown that cannabis users have a higher risk of mental illnesses that involve repeated episodes of psychosis, such as schizophrenia.

 

"Researchers have found that levels of dopamine are lower in long-term cannabis smokers and those who began using the drug at a younger age. Lower dopamine in a part of the brain called the striatum is linked to less ambition and motivation at a neuronal level."

Yeah, I've heard those things and read that shit. Never encountered anyone suffering from what they claim. Avoiding the whole, "governments make money off of drugs being illegal and thus have every reason to pay a few scientists to come up with fake studies to keep it illegal" thing. (see: the study about a marijuana joint supposedly containing 4 times the amount of tar as a single cigarette, which was debunked as a result of the scientists failing to correctly dry and cure the marijuana they tested)

 

You didn't even read the whole thing, so typical of you stoner types.

Probably read 3 dozen of those articles by now.

 

My point is this, there's no reason to make it illegal, no reason to put people in prison (in my state you get 15 years per plant if you get caught growing, minimum of 3 to 5 for possession), and ultimately ruin their lives for it. Regardless of how unhealthy it may or may not be. By your logic we should outlaw video games, alcohol, caffeine, pornography, and any and all other pleasurable pursuits.

And yet you're still ignoring facts from the PhD's out there. I'll take the doctors word over yours tyvm. On a side note, what if someone is blitzed out of their mind while driving under the influence of pot? I suppose you can enlighten me here since this appears to be your area of expertise.

 

If you get pulled over by the cops, how are they going to test for it?

The death of the Bravo and TLC TV channels

1 and 2 I don't understand.. Is that an American "thing" to hate on those states?

Do you know what would be equal rights for LGBT? Not retarded parades on which they flaunt their sexual preferences, they shouldn't have some sort of special treatment. Instead, people should react to them with the words "So what?". That would be real equality.

As for TLC... How does "the learning channel" devolve into brides and cakes?

Also, I miss the old Discovery and History channels. Their old stuff was really cool. I especially miss Discovery Wings, such awesome documentaries.

They've already developed breathalyzers for it. They haven't implemented them because of legal reasons (Delta 9 THC remains in the blood stream for about 30 days after smoking, despite being inactive after a few hours, so it's hard for them so say how recent the use was). Not to mention that couple of road studies have found that roughly 75% of people tested drove just as good if not better stoned than sober. Not to mention that driving whilst drunk is illegal and detectable, yet this doesn't discourage thousands of idiots from driving drunk every day.

 

Face it, Marijuana was made illegal for racist reasons (look it up, they needed a way to get rid of immigrants from Mexico in the south western states, many of whom smoked marijuana, this is known and stated historical fact). It remains illegal because the government can get money from taxes "to fight the drug menace". Many countries that have legalized have seen a dramatic DROP in teenage use of drugs, after a slight increase in teen use in the first few years after legalization.

 

Look, people want to get fucked up sometimes. Some people more than others. Some of us do so responsibly (while I used to smoke and drive when I was young and foolish, I no longer do so because it's not worth the risk, despite being relatively easy for me to do, probably from experience), some take idiotic chances and make horrible mistakes, but the fact is, you don't punish people for things they haven't done, simply because they might do it.

 

Oh and Bruce Lee (widely regarded as the greatest athlete ever to live) smoked Marijuana. Can your PHD's explain that? I think not.

Yes. Most people in the US hate those states because their the epicenters of the "liberal democrat" (socialist, communist morons) infection in this country.

 

I cannot agree more on the LGBT thing. We don't get a straight pride parade, and I don't run around yelling "I FUCK PUSSY". As for TLC, that's not what it is anymore, which is a shame because they used to be cool. Discover channel still has some good stuff (survivorman is awesome). And other than the occasional bullshit with aliens/ghosts, the history channel is still good.

 I'm not entirely sure if most of the US hate on California and Florida. I hate California because it's full of hipsters, and the fact that they think they can create laws like they're the federal government. For example, they passed a law requiring all car manufacturers to have zero emissions vehicles. That is not the way state governments work, that is the job of the federal government. Furthermore, they passed a law requiring paid sick days, which is idiotic because if you work, you should get paid and if you do not work, you shouldn't get paid. Florida is just full of old people and idiots.

1. I know I hate them.

2. Actually that's not the job of the federal government, technically the state can pass that law, but it only applies to any business operating (meaning manufacturing) within that state. Paid sick days is just more socialist bullshit, they wonder why their state is completely fucking broke, and an economic hell hole lol. Originally the States were supposed to have more legal authority within their own boundaries than the federal government, until the federal government conquered the states at the end of the civil war.

Key word here "athlete". Most professional athletes aren't very intelligent. Sure, they have a high sports IQ. However, that doesn't mean anything in the real world (this is where most of us are). I don't have anything against people who smoke pot. I just don't understand why people would subject themselves to a drug that can lower intelligence and potentially cause permanent negative long-term effects.

1. There isn't any solid evicence of those (the studies you have listed are HIGHLY contested). In fact Cannabis use has actually been shown before to be a cancer cell inhibitor (again, highly contested).

2. Sometimes it's nice to turn the volume down on your brain, I know it helps me with my ADHD from time to time. Slows my mind down to tolerable levels.

3. While this is anecdotal evidence and thus can't be proven, my sister had a boyfriend in high school who took the SAT's stoned out of his mind and missed 2 questions. He worked for C.E.R.N for a bit and is now a medical doctor.

Things I'd like to see:

  1. People stop believing in fairies and "greater powers" and thus stop slaughtering people based on those false beliefs.
  2. Cubs win a WS.

#2 is very unlikely :(
