Smallfry does not frequently maturate.

I appreciate the comedy of the slip... either that or he's being sly.

Some 16 year old kid getting stoned constantly, what is he contributing to society?
the average sober 16 year old isn't doing anything worthwhile for anybody either. have you MET a 16 year old?
Yes, yes you have! I do meaningful stuff!


Frequent masturbation doesn't count



It does if you're a porn star...

Do you see how futile the "hard limits" we tact to our humanity for the sake of social order really is?  >:D

I'm not naive, but think whatever you want bud.  You are entitled to your opinion just as I am mine.  I understand why certain individuals feel the want/desire to use them but personally I don't like the idea of poisoning my body.  Some 16 year old kid getting stoned constantly, what is he contributing to society?  Spend time making things, learning about the world.  You think you have me figured out, you don't man, but it's alright because this is an online forum where hopefully no ones feelings are going to get hurt.  But then again, the internet is serious business sometimes  :))

xsphat,
I understand you wanting that, and I truly do hope things work out for you.  Don't lose hope man.

Please stop pretending to "know" what's right for society.

Whatever the market wants is right....

The market wants "less population", so, now more kids are doing drugs, they stumble and they die. Instant population control.... Drugs is part of the natural order.

>implying I know what is right for society



I don't think I'm the paragon of truth.  And you aren't either bud  :)) -- Relax.

I know of some people who just get absolutely ripped and then crank out a 12 hour work day at a mind-numbingly boring job that they otherwise wouldn't be motivated to do.

In either case, I can see both sides of the arguement. Drugs are as illegal as we make them.

If back in the day somebody ruled that cocaine was not illegal to use, but caffeine causes all sorts of adverse effects, would you be going on right now about the horrors of coffee? or nicotine? Would you be sipping your coca-cola the way the original recipe intended as a pick me up for your 4 o'clock hump?

I've never done any "illegal" drugs myself, but I head out to the bar every couple of weeks and every so often have one or two too many. How is that really that different?

Quote
  Spend time making things, learning about the world.


Another illegal substance is wormwood, a key ingredient in true absinthe. You would be amazed how many authors and artists had some of their greatest works inspired by crazy absinthe trips.

And do you like the Beatle's music? I've got some news for you. . .


In my humble (and sometimes retarded) opinion, There's a time and a place for everything. I'm not saying that the aircraft mechanics or engineers designing apartment complexes should drop acid then head off to work, i'm just saying that I know of quite a few people who had "experimental" phases in their youth, and turned out fine.

Not trying to start a flame war, I'm just saying that it's very close-minded to think "Drugs are bad mm'kay?"

EDIT: Another thought coming to mind, Salvia divinorum is still legal in many states, only a few have passed bills outlawing it. If you still don't think the drug laws are goofy in this country, do some searching on that stuff. Basically mini-acid.

1. I know about Salvia, from my research and opinions brought to me by others it really isn't a drug that does anything.  Wouldn't know, haven't tried it.

2. I love the Beatles, I'm certain that much of their inspiration came from drugs, that's their life, mine is my own.  Problem?  :))

3. Eh I've lost interest.....

OH and

Some 16 year old kid getting stoned constantly, what is he contributing to society?

xsphat - somtimes you need a kick in the -beep- to finish something you start.

I have 3 book subjects that are going nowhere. Still huggin the comfort of a decent job during the day and wasting my life on useless things during the evenings.

Making a living for most writers is no piece of cake. I really whish you do well with it.
My grand father was a painter. He also wrote a piece of paper that changed our culture. Art schools are still talking about him.

I used to get 3000 to 8000 per year in copyrights for his paper. Now that he died more than 50 years ago. That money falling off the sky is over. It's good extra when you already have a job... But far from enough to feed and provide a roof.

Anyway... Good luck man with your project.

A college degree shows an employer that you can see a task to completion.  Experience and a demonstrated aptitude for the position is far more important, IMHO.

Words of wisdom. I heard that before. I drank to that back then.

I drink to that again

My boss is currently recruiting for a position that has nothing to do with what they will teach you in school. I looked at the job description and requirements and saw that degree thing. I asked him, wtf are you asking for a degree?

Once again, he said the same freaking thing as iMav.
