Nah, can't seem to get a signal on local TV, only thing plugged into my TV is my PS2, Wii, and DVD player. That's the way I like it, none of those services are worth it.


@Quenlin: Yup, seen the first, but the manga is WAY better, trust me.

My dealers been ripping me off. Kidding, dunno where you got those numbers but they're rather outdated, marijuana goes for $15-$20/gram in California. That and those numbers fluctuate wildly from place to place. Fact remains though, it's an expensive habit.

How young, though? Obviously the age of the child determines the length of an Internet session; I'd say, though, for a 5-8 year old, about an hour, max, and always with all sorts of filters and supervision!



Filters are a complete waste of time, nothing can replace supervision, that and filters cause all sorts of problems, and some are even spyware. That, and kids are tech-savvy, they can just use or set up a proxy to bypass it without breaking a sweat.

Lol pharmacy’s should start putting those buttons under the counter like banks now ?.
 



Quite a few stores do that, but at least in banks they're protected by bullet-proof screens that can take 45. bullets. Keep in mind that if you set off that alarm, you get caught, you're dead. Probably a meth dealer, since people steal medication left-right and center to make meth.

What have you told your kids about drugs?

I don't have kids, but I did give my cousin a good lecture on them before, and all I did was give him the facts, and not to take any drugs from his friends or family. Also told him that you don't need to do drugs to fit in, cause all you'll fit yourself into is a prison jumpsuit.

A psychoactive drug extracted from a cactus that is found in Texas and Mexico. It's legal if used for religious purposes, like how the Native Americans use it, but is otherwise illegal.

Smart thing to do, walking out instead of getting more money to waste. Besides, it's only $50, I make that in a few hours at my job, nothing big. Still a wise choice, takes a lot of willpower to do that.

RE: Do you eat 3 square meals per day ?

Dartz said: 3 square meals? Ha! If mac and cheese, ramen, and hot pockets count as square meals, then yes, I eat 4 of them a day. I'm not much of an eater, mostly small things throughout the day.
 

Mosty-pasta/bread diets aren't good for you, they give a lot of energy but it's far from healthy. Especially since those instant ramen things have a lot of salt in them, I hope you're drinking a lot of water.

Maybe they should just fully legalize and tax it for one full year, at the end of that year, they can decide if it's worth it or not. No harm in trying, though people will probably stockpile it and sell it at a profit if they illegalize it again.

I tried taking up yoga once. They had to call an ambulance after I had a muscle spasm and wound up being strangled by my own leg. Never did it again after that, I'm sticking with Tai Chi

I can walk away from a casino or bookmakers without breaking a sweat, but I tend to push my luck a little too much at times, like I did earlier last month with a football team getting 14 consecutive wins. Well, they got 15.

The Hell is the UK coming to!!? I swear to God I should go back there, take over and declare martial law. It's getting out of hand now. If we have pre-teens selling, and even growing marijuana illegally, then we have a serious issue on our hands.
