No, it has nothing to do with that, haven't you seen The Fifth Element?
Yeah, it was a lame movie that should have been about boron.

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
Sorry, I meant to say we're Anonymous Coward.
Sure you did, Juan.
It's a joke. If the mental image of a bunch of dudes in white coats with clipboards sticking a guy in a big humming machine, and proceeding to burn his arm with a hot iron doesn't amuse (or terrify) you, then you are officially a zombie.
You should see how they inflicted the emotional pain!
A lot of inspiration can be found in seemingly bizarre experiments.
For instance, with the properly constructed experiment, we could finally figure out "How many marketing people does it take to change a lightbulb?"
Well, they won't actually whine but just increase the prices. At the end of the day, it's the consumers who will get affected, not the vendors. They don't need mercy of yours at all, better prepare to pay more.
Actually, both consumers and vendors are affected. If your customers can no longer afford to buy your product, you'll soon be without customers.
so its a bit more important then you are eluding to.
But you... and then... oh forget it.
If you are buying something you need, like money, and the advertiser gives you 50% off, then you are indeed saving money.
That's true. I spend at least half my income on money. But I never buy it at a discount store, because the quality just isn't there.
So journalists should find information they do not care about and heartlessly report about it?
Yes, they should. It's called "being objective", and is one of the tenets of good journalism. It's odd that you think otherwise; perhaps you are hiding some sort of agenda?
If Commander Taco was really Sarah Palin, I'd date her, except she's married.
Let's go over your fantasy:
(a) Commander Taco is really Sarah Palin. <-- Check!
(b) Taco/Palin would date you. <-- Check!
(c) You would date a married woman. <-- No Way!
That's an interesting place to inject reality...
At his trial, he might be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
And this is one of the major flaws in the American justice system IMO. Not Guilty by reason of insanity shouldn't exist. The proper finding is Guilty BUT insane.
That's the law in Arizona. For Arizona crimes, there is only "Guilty but insane", where if you ever do get well enough to leave the hospital, you get to finish your sentence in a regular prison... or a tent.
90% of pot smokers are still going to buy it from the same guy they buy it from today. A fact I also base on nothing at all.
You're right about not basing that on anything at all. It doesn't even make sense. The only reason to go to the same guy is if he's the most convenient or has the lowest prices.
If pot were legalized, he would almost certainly not be either of those.
And to your original point, the old drug dealers who peddled pot would either be out of work or move on to harder drugs, because they would be out of the pot business in a hurry. So, whether or not they want to share their profits is irrelevant, since the legitimate businesses now filling the niche would be only too happy to charge sales tax (liquor stores do!).
it wasn't visible to "the world to see", it was visible to neighbours and people walking by
And what was preventing anyone in the world from walking/driving by and seeing it?
Physical access. Most people in the U.S., for example, will never have the opportunity to walk by and see it. But, they certainly can view it on the internet.
To thine own self be true. (If not that, at least make some money.)
