  1. And so the reason you didn't mention alcohol first and just shot from the hip was because you did not have all the facts?

     

    I don't even know why you keep dragging me into this. Boys said he never smoked pot and I cracked a joke that I was surprised that Dean's great sales job didn't convince him.......And, now this Levi guy and you think I'm on some kind of crusade. How many times do I have to say that I don't care what you guys smoke.

     

    I didn't even talk about this assassination attempt until Levi said I'm a crusader after a flip joke. And, then all I said was that it didn't help this skewered brain of his.

     

    Now, you have me shooting from the hip? I can't even get out of this with an Uncle Fester joke. No wonder you didn't get Boys' Tim Graham, etc. joke. I'm not serious with my %s here. Fester had very little to do with it!

     

    Well, being that I was the one who was told to smoke weed maybe I should post some of my thoughts on why I will not.

    Someone I know has smoked it off and on for as long as I have known them, nearly all of my life. He is extremely paranoid, and his many faults are seperate that of his smoking but it does not help. It is clear that he uses it to escape his problems often.

     

    Also, having a farm and using a lot of heavy equipment I do not want to risk anything being in my system if an accident were to occur; simply put, I drive a truck that weights nearly 8,000 lbs. and if I were to ever get in a wreck I would f-someone up.

     

    I do not like the idea of inhaling something that isn't clean fresh Carolina air, and the things I enjoy in life get me high enough.

     

    I just do not feel it is responsible, a lot of dependencies run in my family and I defiantely have OCD/compulsive/dependency tendencies.

     

    I am not against pot, it's not just for me; there are losers who smoke pot, but that is not decided by the pot. There are also some great men who have smoked pot; Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George W Bush, Peter Fonda, Stewie Griffin; so clearly, pot doesn't mean you're a bad person. I mean, Hitler never smoked pot that we know of?

     

    You're a lot smarter than I was. Not just with pot but with all the drinking I did. To be able to recognize that you have dependency tendencies in your family, to see the paranoia in your friend, etc. and act accordingly. That is huge, man!

  2.  

     

    So, where do I say it?

     

    It didn't help this wacko in Arizona very much, and I would contend it skewered his brain, which I'm sure was already ripe for skewering. - The full sentence is a far cry from saying that it caused the assassination attempt.

  3. Okay, not this thread, but I will take that. Now show me where smoking pot one time (the best he advocated) and where that messed someone up for life. Note that I said once. Only took once for alcohol in my preposterous theory and I was able to back it up. It would be even more amusing if you would get back to your original contention that weed caused the assassination attempt.

     

    Your turn. Show we where I said that.

  4. I feel bad for this guy, but also think he's an asshat. He doesn't trust banks, so he keeps all his money in his bedroom, and of course, it gets stolen.

     

    One quote:

    "My uncle Harry Young from Atlanta, Ga., told me when I was growing up, 'Bobby, you save a penny, then another, and soon you have a nickel.' That's how your money grows," McBride said Tuesday afternoon

     

    Actually, Mr. McBride, if you keep your money in your bedroom, it doesn't grow at all. There's something called interest at banks (not good now, but used to be very good).

  5. I'm not sure everybody understands what's going on here. First, Donn Esmonde wrote this article the other day:

    Esmonde's article criticial of Canadians

     

    Then, the top link by the Toronto Star is a response to that.

     

    I thought Esmonde's article was totally uncalled for and I don't blame the Star guy for writing what he did......It seemed the chief complaints of Esmonde would be Canadians cheering for the other team in the USA games, and tipping $2 on a $25 order.

     

    I'm a big tipper and go overboard, but I can understand if you come from a country that doesn't do that. In all fairness somewhere in the 10% range I think was the standard for quite awhile. Like the Post guy alludes to, it seems to the words of a few bartenders, etc. that would cause Esmonde to write this. I usually like him and what he tried to do, but that article hurt our cause.

  6. his friends have said he was never the same after a night of alcohol POISONING. it sounds like he drank and smoked pot since his teens. his friends don't reference pot as being the turning point for the worse, rather the ALCOHOL POISONING. he probably suffered severe brain damage that night when he kept drinking and drinking and drinking. but yea, let the lemmings say that one substance is A-OKAY and the other is the devil, you know, because our laws tell us to believe that.

     

    There are positives and negatives to both. Both can be dangerous.....I didn't hear that about the alcohol poisoning, and had never heard that happen before. But, I'm sure it's very possible.

     

    My only argument is against those who say pot is harmless. I don't really care what the law says. I smoked enough of it, so I must not care, and therefore must not be a lemming.

  7. Yes, marijuana has so much to do with this guy's behavior. I suppose you missed the fact he was a binge drinker before he smoked weed? So can we blame alcohol, since he started drinking first? Or was it Rush Limbaugh that was responsible? Blaming this psycho's behavior on external influences is stupid, as he is simply insane it would appear.

     

    I said Uncle Fester's brain was ripe for skewering I'm sure. The pot is just a contributing factor. I think alcohol does way more overall damage, for sure. But, pot can cause a mental break in somebody who is vulnerable and males in his age range are vulnerable. Alcohol doesn't seem to do that mental break. It causes all kinds of other damage and after years it will then effect the brain......In Fester's case, I'm sure that didn't help either, though.

     

    They both cause problems. Just don't tell me pot doesn't cause any.

     

    Dean would respond, but he's passed out at a green light. :lol:

     

    And, still must be! :lol:

  8. The funny thing about your crusade is that it isn't any less annoying than The Dean's.

     

    I have a crusade? I could care less if you or anyone else smokes pot....I just don't like when people say it's completely harmless, like Dean implies. It didn't help this wacko in Arizona very much, and I would contend it skewered his brain, which I'm sure was already ripe for skewering.

     

    How many times have I posted on the subject? I've posted into three threads that I remember in 12 years+ of being on this board, including this thread with one post.......Wow, what a crusader I am!

  9. Also, Crayonz, I do not blame weed - I blame the demonization of it and the ignorance surrounding drugs. For the record, I have never smoked pot, I think people who smoke pot are idiots, and have never done anything drug-wise.

     

    You still haven't tried smoking pot, after The Dean made his excellent pitch to you that you really should?

     

    ...I was defiantely joking.

     

    See what great things pot can do for you?.......Come on, smoke up. Nothing bad has ever happened to anybody.

  10. Yeah, I assumed running QBs burned out fast too, but it's flatly not true - if anything, they seem to have longer careers. Maybe the arm goes before the legs, so if you're a scrappy old knuckleballer, you can still stay in a job if you can scramble.

     

    Actually, I think it's the other way. Guys like McNabb, Favre, Elway, etc. (maybe even Cunningham) seemed to do less and less running as time went on. They relied on their arm more than their legs at that point.

  11. the helmets are going to make you go blind if you stare at them too long.

     

    and yes, that creep phil knight has his slimy tentacles all throughout the u of o athletic department. which is a great reason to hate them. that and those ridiculous c;own suits they where. the only thing missing is the rubber noses and floppy shoes.

     

    Those aren't floppy shoes?

  12. Those are all great!

     

    I'm not even done with the whole year. When I have a minute, I read a few months. This one just cracked me up:

     

    BP attempts to stop the leak using a high-tech robot submarine, only to see the effort fail when the sub is seized by Somali pirates.

     

    And this:

    On the world economic front, thousands of rock-throwing rioters take to the streets of both Athens and Rome to protest punishing new austerity measures under which they would no longer be provided by the government with free rocks.

  13. I'm glad you said that about Sharpe. I once saw him blow off a little kid in a total casual football event where you would expect fan interaction. There was nobody else asking him, and everyone else of the 30 players or so were very cordial. Sharpe just kept a poker face and ignored the kid who had to be 11 or 12. I don't like being the first to call a guy a douche, but if I have confirm from someone else, I'll spill.

     

    I also got a new phrase - douche canoe!

  14. Well then you must not watch a lot of College Football. Brad Smith was just OK in college I guess :rolleyes: ....
