Chasm / Re: Smoking pot makes you depressed for life
« on: March 05, 2010, 02:25:33 AM »As I previously stated, what learning could you get from smoking pot that you couldn't get while sober or reading a book? Sounds like a load of shit.
"I managed to drive home without an accident while drunk yesterday, drinking must enhance driving!"
You obviously haven't smoked pot.

sometimes it has those side effects, but it also brings learning.

Somehow I think in the USA some presidents were all influenced by drugs. George W Bush, as I read on the internet, has been a user of cocaine, and has experimented with other drugs, and also barack obama. Bill clinton said he didn't inhale, but who can know for sure? Well, but it's said the presidents never control anything, and other people really lead. I don't know if this is just a theory, but it seems right to me.

Although legalization activists and many marijuana users believe smoking pot has no negative effects, scientific research indicates that marijuana use can cause many different health problems.
This is a false claim used to create a image of error about the legalization actvists. There is no proof that all of them believe and preach that marijuana has no negative effects, in fact I think most of them acknowledge that.

It's true about the stoner culture (but I wouldn't call it all stupid). Some people just like to smoke it up everyday. Regardless of the bad uses it can have, I think we should treat it the same way we treat alcohol: A drug that can be fun, sociable, and good, if used in a good manner, and that manner is different for all of us, so the user must find his own path. The difference is, cannabis is vastly superior to alcohol, because it brings learning. Look at this great site:
www.marijuana-uses.com
The best site on cannabis, for me. It has a lot of intelligent articles, by respected individuals, including that famous Mr. X one (Carl Sagan).
For me, the ideal use would be only on weekends.
Sometimes people know they're addicted, but they choose to continue. One cypress hill song says "I'm hooked on chronic"

I don't think that because it's habit forming (addictive), it should be ignored. It's good, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has never used it, but for the curious who have used it, they don't regret it, even with bad consequences like addiction. Some stop completely after a while, I think the majority continues to use and others do it on rare ocasions. But I don't think people who smoke it everyday are "structuinrg their lives" around it. There are people who wake up, smoke tobacco cigarette, smoke it at afternoon, and it night, everyday, and people think it's fine, but not so with the cannabis.

Chasm / Re: Pentti Linkola voted 18th "greatest Finn of all time"
« on: March 01, 2010, 07:42:57 PM »If a man tortures another man with a hammer then kills him for no reason, a group of other men will most certainly agree he did not deserve that. Then they probably would agree the man that tortured the other deserves to be killed. I don't think any universal judgment was used, just the common sense of those men, their feelings, and some logic (is it good/ok to kill another man for no reason?)That's how it works for me
You're claiming popularity determines what's right, which per Linkola and the rest of the sane people, is an error.Quote(is it good/ok to kill another man for no reason?)
That's not what I wanted to say. Well, I did wanted to appeal to common sense a bit, but the most intelligent people would agree on this hypotetical matter that I presented.
How is good/ok determined? There is never "no reason" by the way.
Well, for no reason I mean for pure psycopathy, fun, or to sell snuff tapes (like those fucking russian bastards that tortured a man with a hammer and other things for a long times then killed him, to sell the video). The OK/Not OK power is in our hands, so it must be determined by ourselves (humans). So, answer a question: Why push a hypotetical button, if such a button existed, to eliminate millions of people, among wich may exist a lot of valuable people, if you can sterelize the people? Why choose the most stupid and violent way? (in my view, it is stupidity to kil like this. It has always been considered wrong, and no I'm not appealing to popularity and I know many things considered wrong were unecessairly so, but even on hammurabi's code it's like this)
Summarizing, what I'm trying to say is, discovering that morality is relative, and that most people exagerrate in the morals, does not mean that you have to feel that genocide is a trivial thing,

I don't really appreciate the drink as much as the feeling of drunkness.

off topic: I used to criticize americans for their excessive use of the words "really" and "just". (like, "Just stop it!", and saying really in every sentence). But now I'm doing it too.

« on: March 01, 2010, 08:09:05 AM »Not deserve it? Does anyone deserve anything? Is there a universal arbiter who has an objective view of everything, and decides what is and isn't deserved? Or is there just, the void - and, if so, by continuing the logic: nobody doesn't not-deserve anything, just as much as nobody deserves anything.
If a man tortures another man with a hammer then kills him for no reason, a group of other men will most certainly agree he did not deserve that. Then they probably would agree the man that tortured the other deserves to be killed.

I think we can come to an agreement, if we bear with each other on this question
Everything else aside, it looks like you get distracted by Linkola's spicing up his writings. You probably get the big picture and acknowledge the man is right; why the need for splitting hairs over hypothetical scenarios?
Well, I agree with the man on some things, just wished to point the part that seems unacceptable to me. I mean, just like someone can say "I admire the islamic life, but not the stoning to death of girls who have sex or the killing of homosexuals"

My point is that just because many people are not really "innocent" (innocent in the first place, being that in the context of mass killing, many of the people that die may not deserve it), i doesn't mean it's right to go exterminating everyone. We gotta have more criteria, and compassion. Why not settle for forced sterelization? The lives of the people will only last till they die, and they will not reproduce. Isn't that enough? It's hard enough to get people to agree on forced sterelization, or even birth limits.

« on: March 01, 2010, 06:16:10 AM »
I think destructor is missing the point. I used to think the instrumental part was the best, too, but I saw that in the good bands, the vocals are an element in the song, not something that worsens it taking up all the attention.
