They used my Comcast simulator without paying!

No wonder all the young men are all killing each other in the middle east: they have to live with ASCII porn.

God is Gates? No, no, no, that's gotta be downstairs.

AND making a profit at it. That's the diff between American busybodies and theirs.

Where in the Koran does it mention bandwidth?

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's bandwidth"

I wish talk radio would omit Rush. He's made enough racist comments for 10 Mancows, yet never booted.

But Don't Know Where It Would Go

How about the Bridge to Nowhere?

I had a Gumby nightmare like that once.

The War on Drugs has been a failure- it's put millions of people in prison, cost our society billions of dollars, and fueled honest-to-God warfare in South America and Mexico- and Americans are slowly starting to realize this. That being said, I think we're running the risk of having things swing too far in the other direction. There seems to be this attitude out there that pot is harmless, and that's just not the case in my experience. In moderation, it's probably safe. But chronic use- long term use at high doses- seems to really fuck people up. I know people from high school who used to smoke once in a while, and they're fine- productive members of society, good spouses, good parents, etc. I also know people who went on to smoke weed daily for many years... and they're just not all there anymore. They're always in a pretty good mood, but it seems disconnected from what's going around. They're hard to connect to, they can't seem to empathize with other human beings, they seem scattered and their thought processes tend to run wild; there's a lot of creativity but they lack the focus to do anything with it. The PSAs were right: drugs DO fry your brain.

I think alcohol and Prohibition are a good parallel here. Prohibition was clearly a disaster, and when used in moderation, alcohol is harmless and probably even beneficial. But long-term, daily use of alcohol in high volumes can really screw you up. All things in moderation. Just because you can't OD on pot doesn't mean it's safe to take as much as you want as long as you want.

It's probably real. This is after all a group that engages in beheadings, mass murder of captives... even crucifixion. You're talking about a group with a medieval worldview, and you can't get much more medieval than the Black Plague.

What, you don't have the new iBrator?

Your post reminds me of this scene:

But I often see long trails of ants on the floor following a trail of chemicals laid down by the ants themselves!

ACA only directly affects our country. The Iraq invasion directly affected two countries, and severely altered Iraq's history. War is a very big decision.

The problem with getting involved in Middle East wars is that usually both sides suck.

That's just a model of Camelot.
