Uh, where did I say all potheads were like the ones at my school? So why don't you enlighten me with that first before I even bother responding to you. My comment wasn't even that serious but I guess that's why musicbanter amounts to. Make a tongue in cheek comment and get bitched at by a bunch of whiny cunts.

So you CAN safely say that you know of normal people that smoke who are decent non-whinging people that don't wear iron maiden shirts? Sorry it's just the way you worded it.. it showed alot of the known symptoms of generalizing.

I should add this to my signature --> no biggy 'jeezzz'. whatca think.

Too much (complicated) information only confuses people to the point where they don't know what to think and end up thinking like the majority (what the TV tells them).
You can only be openminded when you see something from both points of view and even then it's still a 50% chance of being wrong. Sometimes something can be so convincing that you believe it to then 5 years later realise it was all bullsh|t.

"FORK IN THE ROAD: At a point you have to decide,
you stay openminded then after covering all aspects you make your decision.
A decision thats not rushed or judgemental but subjective and rational.
With some decisions you can still remain openminded after your choice as been made, you can go back over and rethink your decision.. with new evidence for example.
But sometimes you can't and it's these examples that prove that sometimes you can think you are right but time will prove you wrong.
'People' die and rott in jails because of decisions that were made to force a conclusion, just to satify people, stupid people. 'Innocent people'."

On religion, religious people don't understand reason.. they are merely vehicles for lies and misinformation.
It's amazing how whenever you speak to a christian just how easy it is to prove them wrong.. yet they refuse to listen and understand any point of view that is different to their own.
They don't what their comfort zone questioned, it would change too much.
Ignorance REALLY is bliss and curiosity killed the cat.

It's funny how you spend the first half of your post criticizing narrow-mindedness, then in the latter part accuse anyone that doesn't follow your logic of being stubborn, ignorant and unreasonable...Some religious people (including Christians), have considered all options and decided for themselves that what they believe is true and reasonable.

Cause it is freedom for people to make bad choices. We don't need the government telling us that we can't do something even though they think they can protect us all. They can't protect us disease 100% so why are they taking our rights away.

The glaring flaw there is that your bad choice can easily affect others and even take away their freedom to live. So all in all, it's quite a sensible law really.

Hun I understand that I am just saying that they find other ways of keeping us from doing what we want.

Did any of you hear that now the government wants us to ask the states if we can travel. The government has decided to place another control so they can keep track of us.
