Marijuana Possession Remains Illegal, Canada's ...

[clocker]

Use and abuse I believe are no different in a substance that causes physical or mental impairment.
Only the level of abuse is a factor.

So JPaul is a alcohol abuser, perhaps even more reprehensible than a streetcorner drunk because he manages to disguise the fact that he "abuses" a drug.

somewhere in china or maybe japan, on a calm sunny day, a butterfly lifts it's wing and gently takes flight.
6 months later, half a world away, the ripple of air caused by the butterfly flapping it's wings has become the biggest hurricane of the century.

Physics being a science and thus not concerned with morality, would dictate that it is equally likely that the outcome of the butterfly's action would be the second coming of Christ.

You seem to believe that the inevitable outcome of "use" is disaster and ruin.
A trifle too Puritan for my taste.

What on earth does that even mean.

There is an obvious link between the movement of the wing of a butterfly and a hurricane.

However the movement of the wing of the same butterfly and the second coming of Christ, the Messiah, the Saviour, the One who will fulfill the prophecies. I really don't see your point here.

Have you ever made an appearance at speaker's corner.

Edit - I think you will find that I am an alcohol abuser, if you want to be pedantic. The yeast drowned in their own pish to make it for me. It would be churlish to refuse.

Stupid, overused cliché #1

Stupid, overused cliché # 5 not too worried about overuse yourself huh ? you should stop that or you will go blind. Which hand do you have free to type with?

i have noticed many of your posts have just been immature attacks on people you don't know, were you bullied as a child ? or perhap your own inferiority complex has you thinking that everyone really is superior to you and you don't like it.
now if you feel that my views are similar or the same as someone elses perhaps you should ask yourself are those views really overused or are they the views of so many people that you yourself might just be in a minority ? in this particular case you seem to attack my post as if i was pro drug, but if you read the whole article you would see i am anti drug. however the point was that obviously being illegal hasn't stopped drug use and i was questioning if the approach was working. at no point have i suggested that making soft drugs legal actually would solve the problem of hard drug abuse, i simple poised the question " would it ?"
the ideas and views i express are designed to encourage debate..you know what debate is don't you?..well here is a challenge..could you put a pro soft drug legalising argument even though your beliefs are anti drug? (obviously you could do it without any "Stupid, overused clichés") just why are they stupid anyway? is it because they are not your own beliefs? if it is then perhaps you should let some air out of your own ego.
now i suspect that you will be trying to start a mud slinging contest with me on this forum for daring to question your damnation of my posts but life is too short to waste it on infantile bickering (other than my reply here) so to end.... NER NER BOO SUCKS TO YOU.

Obvious to whom?
The butterfly effect is a fable, a parable to demonstrate causality, hardly a demonstration of physical reality.
Thus, my postulated outcome is just as likely as his.

I grieve for the yeast.

A very emotional response!
I don't think there was any emotion in my post at all, only an observation that you hadn't taken the time to form an independant thought. Or if you had, you certainly didn't convey it well.

So who is the child now? The one who points out your hastiness to post repetitive drivel? or the one who posts repetitive drivel?

It doesn't matter what position you assumed, the position was weak and poorly presented.
Making me think that the mater isn't worthy enough for you to make an honest effort.

If in fact your views are similar to "everyone elses", then there is nothing more to discuss here. Marijuana has been fully legalised and the matter is closed.

I think we both know that is not the case.

Let's see if you can comment without the childish personal attacks and comments you know to be wrong, J'pol thinks you have it in you, I am not so convinced.

The yeast have served their purpose, their life is complete. They are a one-issue body politic and they achieve their goal.

Good on them, I serve the simple purpose of justifying their existence and at the same time providing them with a fitting funeral.

This includes my bread as much as it does my apple. I make my own bread, I leave the apple production to others. That only seems fair.

Discuss whether physics is a science (or an art) and what it ultimately means with .... physicists.

I personally believe that this particular field has become more poetic and less prosaic in recent times. However I often read more into things than are really there.

[clocker]

Sadly JP I am not qualified to discuss physics on any but the most basic level.
I don&#39;t have my finger on the pulse of current thinking in that area.

Is it germane to this particular topic?


Edit: My nieces are taking me to see The Lord of the Rings in about 5 minutes anyway...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM :beerchug:

Hurricaines are not created by additive wind forces, but rather variances in atmospheric pressure. I remember hearing of this "effect", but I forget the particulars.

The flapping of a butterflies wind may cause a transient breeze which causes a womans perfume to reach the nose of a man whom she would have never met.

He turns to locate the source of that smell and they become lovers. The Messiah is born, just as a hurricaine may potentially be born from said wing flap.

I think the legalization of marijuana undermines a hugely profitable criminal market. In the US the #1 cash crop is marijuana, simply because it is illegal and this drives up the price.

Apple/ pot same difference to me. I don&#39;t smoke because don&#39;t want my apartment, clothes and breath to smell like shit.


Abuse- the use of a drug to escape problems
Use- a source of enjoyment, an enhancement of "good times".

It is true that drugs do cause health problems, but I have so many great stories that occurred when drunk, I can&#39;t believe that drugs are simply bad.
