Dark chocolate, no questions asked. Especially with little bits of mint in them, they go like horse and cart. Not fond of white chocolate at all, yuck. Tastes like... I dunno but it tastes horrible to me.

I hope like Hell you're not planning to smoke marijuana Quenlin. But yeah, those are the facts, and the facts are what people need to know these days. Just lying about drugs makes them seem cooler to kids, and makes kids think that it's cool to lie as well as do drugs. Some example the generation is setting.

^Which is exactly why every lawyer in the states is going to Hell!

There is a huge amount of money in drugs, and those resources can bribe any judge or prison guard in the state to keep you out of jail, and everyone always has someone covering for them. It's ridiculous, they'll do anything to get a customer.

Good advice Quenlin, but they'll probably find another way to fire you, best to consult a lawyer and if your name gets leaked, put in an injunction against getting fired for it. I'm sure any reasonable Judge would sign that injunction without a second thought.

Still, what kind of company has that kind of policy? You CANNOT be sued for landing someone in jail for commiting a crime, or reporting a crime. You are not responsible for the courts rulings, and the court can make those rulings with no consequences.

Telling them that they're sleeping will cause problems if grandma drops dead in front of them from a heart-attack or collapses from a stroke while they're staying over there for the weekend.

Mom: "Hi son, you alright?"

Son: "Yep"

Mom: "How's granny?"

Son: "She's asleep."

Mom: "Okay, I'll call tomorrow evening before I come pick you up, be good."

Son: "Okay mummy"

Yeah. VERY smart thing to do.

You mean Lee? Nah, he's not into the whole "extreme bishie" thing anymore, he gave it up after someone recommended a gay bar to him and he got hit on by everyone there. He thought there were no gay bars in Glasgow.

I'm sure people can be obsessed over their looks, but I dunno about addiction. He probably just loved his looks more than anything else. He still keeps himself looking good, but not to an extreme anymore, which is bad for me cause I placed a bet that he would go drag within 3 months. XD.

That's another drinking-related issue, it impairs judgment and self-control. The same way a blow to the front-right part of the brain and result in someone going berserk on you, as that is the part that gives restraint.

He's not setting a very good example for his kids, but even though a small drunken fistfight that ends in everyone making up in the morning isn't as bad as doing something crazy, it's still setting a bad example.

Besides, a drunken fight, no matter what, will get you incarcerated.

When an anorexic complains about being fat, I need to bite my lip to stop myself yelling "Why don't you shut up and wallow in your self-pity by eating ten tubes of smarties and a McDonalds!?"

And cutting yourself? Sheesh, I'll admit I'm a bit of a self-harmer, but I don't cut myself. That's just idiotic.

Dangerous as well. You can go about 4 days without water, but taking a lot of ex-lax, you could do serious harm to yourself in as few as 1 and a half days. Your body hardly gets the chance to absorb the nutrients, it's a stupid practice. Anyone who does it, is a complete, and utter, idiot. No questions asked. Period. End of story. Fin.

Of course, pure cocaine wont cause that much harm. But when it's mixed with every white powder under the sun, then that's gonna cause more harm than anything else in that mix. Not even drug dealers are honest anymore.

Finally off anti depressants

A few good years ago, my grampa had died, and it was the last straw for me, and I went from happy to sad every turn of the hourglass. I was bi-polar in name only, and I was on anti-depressants all the time, which made me way too giddy or have as much depth as a puddle.

My friends were getting tired of my constantly-shifting emotions, so I decided to quit the damn things cold-turkey and get over grampas death. Now, 2 years later, I'm back to my crazy old self and trying to get a PhD. in psychology. Trust me, it's not easy. I haven't touched them in 2 years, and it was hard dealing with my mood swings, but I prevailed over it. Anti depressants are nothing compared to most addictions, but at the same time, it's still something I can manage.

Never touching those damn things again, next time my doctor uses those two words in the same sentence, I'm putting him in the ICU.

Yup, rehab should be part of any jail terms given to those who commit drug-related crimes. Nobody should get off scot-free for anything. All it does is anger society and excessive leniency will result in people taking the law into their own hands.

Prison can transform some people, but for others, they're just lost causes.

A lot of WoWers have girlfriend issues, it's hard to pick this one out. Trust me Quenlin, when I catch this one, I'll gank him and anyone who dares come to his aid. If you think that gaming is more important than family, then you need a reality-slap.

The exact reason this quack doesn't deal with sexual harassment victims is outlined above, *copy of article*. That's going on my office door tomorrow. They didn't force her, it's not as though they said "Read it or lose your job.". Like Quenlin said, if you don't want it, throw it in the trash.

If she's gonna make a tizzy over it, then I should gather up every Asian who's ever received an ad for penis enlargement and file a racial stereotyping lawsuit. In fact... nah. She should just write about it on her blag.



Nevermind...

Kind of a waste of time to incite controversy over it. I think that's the plan anyway, cause controversy sells. Why do you think GTA is so popular? Still, it's not really acceptable to show woman as just sex symbols. Like you said, it's demeaning. I wonder how much sexual harassment someone gets once they appear topless in a car magazine.

The government is spending $42,000,000,000/year trying to keep marijuana under control. Are they doing a good job? Like Hell they are. Why would we need to spend such a colossal amount on a drug that's just as bad as tobacco?

God... no wonder everyone hates the current people in power.

It was short, but vivid, I saw my friend Quenlins girlfriend, standing in front of me, holding a knife covered in blood, her dress stained with blood, and she had a crazy smile on her face like a child posing for a picture to show off her full set of teeth. Also, his girlfriend is an albino if that means anything, why I'd imagine her as a psychotic killer is beyond me, she's really nice.

You are made of win sir, I approve this thread. Especially on sports, how someone can watch any kind of sport other than UFC is beyond me. I mean, baseball, just hit it as hard as you can. In my house, I have a rule, no TV at dinner, if it's on at dinner, we eat before it or after it.

I despise those celebrity shows, I don't give a damn about how Paris shaved her head and is losing her kids or Britney smuggling chihuahuas into prison. If I want to see someone make a spectacle of themselves, I'll watch Jerry Springer. Just give me a psychological drama like Paranoia Agent and I'm set for the night.

Hell no, I'm friends with devout Catholics, half-dozen Muslims, three Jews, 5 practitioners of Shinto, and a Bhuddist. All strongly religious, and I'm a strict atheist and we get along pretty damn well. Religion is only a barrier if you let it be one, it's like asking if people of different origins can get along.

Just curious, what are each of your views?

Mis-read, when I said hell no, I meant "Of course you can get along", I guess thought it said something along the lines of "would it be difficult.", my mistake. Curse the lack of an edit button on this forum.
