[ironflange]

1. Haven't done it yet

Don't see why I should start now.

[cheezus]

3. not by any means trying to push you towards it

but that logic is pretty odd

never ridden a roller coaster before, don't see why I should start now

never used email before, don't see why I should start now

never slept with whore before, don't see why I should start now



see what I mean? that logic is seperate from whether something is good or bad.

but um, yeah. don't do drugs. drugs are bad, m'kay

[ironflange]

51. Smoke if you got 'em, it doesn't matter to me

Sorry if I came across a little high-handed. Alcohol is a drug anyway, I'm not totally lily-white. :beer:

[Champ]

2. I hope so

Hopefully my friends don't hold out.

[Bertha Venation]

4. never have, doubt I ever will -- God willing I'll never need

a medical reason.

[LadeJarl]

5. I sure hope so

Been out of bud's for a while and someone said today is the day :)

[adriennel]

[frylock]

[Champ]

9. Shaq shut down, but not Kobe, Lakers

LOS ANGELES - Shaquille O'Neal had da lowest scoring playoff game of tha dude's career, know what I'm sayin'? Kobe Bryant 'n Karl Malone made sho that shiznit didn't matter, know what I'm sayin'?

Bryant scored 17 of tha dude's 36 points in da third quarter, 'n Malone had 17 points 'n eight rebounds Monday night lead da Los Angeles Lakers past da Houston Rockets 98-84 fo' a 2-0 lead in they first-round playoff series n' shit.

In foul trouble most of da game, O'Neal had just seven points 'n seven rebounds, know what I'm sayin'? His previous low wuz 11 points against Utah in 1997.

"That's da sign of a gravy team, when one of yo' big ass dogs is in single figures," O'Neal be like of da victory, achieved in large part because da Lakers outscored da Rockets 54-38 after halftime."

This MSNBC article wouldn't of been made possible if it wasn't for http://www.asksnoop.com type in a URL and fo'shizzle that shit. Enjoy. :smoke:

One year ago: U.S. Army forces took control of Baghdad from the Marines in a changing of the guard that thinned the military presence in the capital. Celebrating Easter, the Reverend Emmanuel Delly, a longtime Iraqi bishop, pleaded for safeguards against the persecution of Christians in the new Iraq.

10. Whatchoo think?

Sorry Asscroft, I'm not admitting anything!

[Arger68]

11. Have never tried it

Have some good friends that do it all the time, though.

[Jimmy Buffett]

12. Marijuana clouds your judgment

I see that half are smokers which indicates the overall personality of this website. Marijuana is bad for you and clouds your judgment. You may think your making EXCELLENT POSTS MAN!!!! But your really making yourself look dumb, lay off the weed dude.

[cheezus]

13. well, since you started it

your = possesive
you're = you are

Insulting DU in your 3rd post eh? Looks like you won't be around long.

BTW- welcome to DU {hug for newbie}

[Jimmy Buffett]

14. Thanks for the welcome

Listen you don't have to be condescending to prove how smart you are. Marijuana clouds your judgment, it's a fact. I will not try to lie, deceive, or mislead anyone. I will be straight forward and honest with my point of view on any subject.

[Book Lover]

18. Then don't

get high when you need to be clear-headed. Geez, what is so hard about that, you?

[Jimmy Buffett]

19. I don't

Plus Marijuana is illegal and I don't support anyone engaging in illegal activity whether that be murder or litering. I have respect for the laws of the land.

[cheezus]

29. You were insulting DU

here's what you said:
I see that half are smokers which indicates the overall personality of this website. Marijuana is bad for you and clouds your judgment. You may think your making EXCELLENT POSTS MAN!!!! But your really making yourself look dumb, lay off the weed dude.

So now I'm thinking - freeper

So anyway. Of COURSE marijuana clouds your judgment. That's kind of the point. It's a legitimate recreational drug that has been proven to be less dangerous and addictive than alcohol. It's currently illegal, but so are many other things. Further, law is a civil matter only, it doesn't define right and wrong.

[Book Lover]

33. This guy is just

looking to flame. Have you checked out his profile yet?

[Whitacre D_WI]

35. Ding! Ding! Ding!

I see them, but I do not feed them.

[cheezus]

40. yeah i know, don't feed the trolls

didn't see anything in his profile other than newnews tho, and we're not allowed to comment on that.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

46. Under-Bridge Dweller go bye bye!!!

I was following his progress on some threads. Bound not to last

[gpandas]

15. where did you get that info, ann landers?

[Jimmy Buffett]

16. No

Partnership for a Drug-Free America thank you.

[democracyindanger]

17. Welcome to DU

And with that out of the way, do you feel the same way about alcohol? And with a handle like 'Jimmy Buffett,' isn't it just a bit odd to be such a wet blanket?

[Jimmy Buffett]

20. Alcohol is legal

Marijuana is illegal, that's the difference.

[DrWeird]

21. You listen to Buffet without getting high?

C'mon man, you're missing the whole point of it. What a waste.

Anyways. Alcohol is worse for you then marijuana. Partnership for a Drug Free America is just a bunch of lies and pseudoscience. And just because something's illegal doesn't mean it's bad.

How old are you? 12? 13?

[Jimmy Buffett]

25. I'm 57

A bunch of lies? Excuse my friend, the positive myths about marijuana your friends tell are lies. And yes it is bad for you. Whether alcohol is worse then marijuana is debatable, I would enjoy engaging in such a debate sometime in the near future. :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

30. More antagonism in your posts

a very harsh tone in every one

[DrWeird]

31. Alcohol is clearly worse for you.

That's backed up with decades of scientific evidence. Debate all you want, you'll lose every time.

Yes, PFDFA is based on a bunch of lies. So is DARE, and all those other anti drug programs.

The positive myths my friends tell me? I'd like to know what myths these are, because I've never heard them.

57! Jesus fucking christ. OK, you're an adult. So lay your "facts" out on the table and I'll tell you how you're wrong.

[gpandas]

23. maybe you should talk to someone who actually smokes it...

like me

[Jimmy Buffett]

28. I'd rather talk to the FDA

Who conducts tests and runs samples. Not some random pothead who is going to say nothing more then "It's natural dude." or something along the lines like that.

[DrWeird]

32. Oh, you want to talk about the FDA?

The FDA years ago allowed THC for medicinal use. In case you were unaware, THC is the active ingredient in marijuana. So go look at the FDA studies that approved in for human consumption and then come back and tell us how "bad" it is.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

42. What about doctors who find it benificial for many maladies

Incidentally - You say you're 57

You've said you have a '57 Rolls Royce and you're comment in your profile says "I'm Ritch Bitch"

You also say you have GOP friends who you would trust with your life over anyone here. And you have 15 posts

Very interesting

[Superfly]

22. What makes 4-20 a better day to smoke than others?

Really, why today?

[cheezus]

24. just some random culture thing

about 4:20 - go to 420.com (run by high times, I think) has the whole story, trying to trace back the tradition

Kind of like, why does everyone eat those marshmallow things on easter. who knows, just kind of a tradition now.

[Superfly]

26. Well, then, I have some bud I've been saving for just

such an occasion.

[blackrican]

36. average hour of the day

i think it has to do with 4:20 being the average time a person is at home after work and lights one up.....that's , ahh, what i read anyway..B-)

[democracyindanger]

38. Started as a reference

to a police code (420), as in "I've got a 420 in progress."

At least that's what I was told. But I was stoned at the time.

[eyesroll]

45. Here's the snopes take:

http://www.snopes.com/language/stories/420.htm


It's both more and less than people make it out to be. '420' began its sub-rosa linguistic career in 1971 as a bit of slang casually used by a group of high school kids at San Rafael High School in California. '420' (always pronounced "four-twenty," never "four hundred and twenty") came to be an accepted part of the argot within that group of about a dozen pot smokers, beginning as a reminder of the time they planned to meet to light up, 4:20 p.m. Keep in mind this wasn't a general call to all dope smokers everywhere to toke up at twenty past four every day; it was twelve kids who'd made a date to meet near a certain statue. It's thus incorrect to deem that '420' originated as a national or international dope-smoking time, even though the term began as a reference to a particular time of day.

[liberalitch]

27. Absolutely.....

today's the day

[sus]

34. why? you holdin?

[RebelOne]

37. I stopped doing that stuff in the '70s.

It's just too darn fattening. Makes you want to eat everything in the refrigerator.

[Andyjunction]

39. California police code

I always heard it was California police code for marijuana possession.

We got a 420 here, over.

[cheezus]

41. that's a common myth

but it sounds good. much more glamorous than some high school kids smoking up at 4:20 after school everyday.

[jonnyblitz]

43. did earlier already. n/t

[GumboYaYa]

44. It's always 4:20 somewhere in the world.

[cheezus]

47. 420.com has a thing that shows where it's 4:20 next

[Nikia]

48. If I don't get the job I will

There is a post offer drug test though for the job that I just had my final interviews for. I wouldn't want to not get the job because I failed a drug test.

[hangar18]

49. It's 4:20 MDT

Do you know where your bongs are?

[TSIAS]

50. No

No different than any other day for me.

[bobthedrummer]

52. Let's see...
