Yes I heard of that, I heard that certain combinations can actually prove fatal. One mushroom, is harmless on it's own, but if you drink alcohol, it can actually poison you. Similar with siberian ink caps, drink and eat one of those, you'll have a hangover that couldn't be worse unless you got it on special order.

Re: 42 BILLION DOLLARS a YEAR!? Bang goes my respect for the US

42 thousand million dollars? Just for one drug? Wow... why can't we spend that kind of money to help people below the poverty line? Or to fix potholes in the street, put pavements and sidewalks down on busy roads so that they're safe, overpasses on highways... there are more constructive ways to spend an amount that's even greater than Bill Gate's fortune.

As long as it takes, nobody should be expected to mourn someone for any length of time. You mourn them when you want, as long as you want. Besides, let me make a quote from Elfen Lied

"Wherever Kanae is, I don't think she'd be happy to see you like this. Her memory ought to be worth more to you than just bitterness."

In other words, if you constantly grieve them, they'll just be upset in the afterlife.

Amen, I take crap from nobody, and nobody gives crap to my friends. When some asshole insulted my girlfriend for being flat at age 14, I smacked him one right across the face. He changed his attitude after that, and now we're good friends. Right Aries?

Phht. No. The thing is with ADHD, is that they just have too much energy to spare. By getting rid of all the excess energy, they can focus much easier on schoolwork.

Although, since exercising increases bloodflow, then I don't see why it wouldn't make the brain work better due to all the extra blood cells keeping it active. But ADHD kids don't have any significant change in intelligence compared to "normal" kids, it's just that they have a significantly different attention span.

Do you have any bad habits? I have quite a lot, from biting my nails and tearing off the hard skin near my nails. I do it unconsciously so it's a royal pain to not do it. That and I seem to drone on a lot... I did it again!!

Idiots huh? You'd think that these people would like some actual human contact for once, it just sickens me that someone would ignore his darling wife.

Yes, WoW is fun, yes, it's addictive, but I'd rather spend time with someone that I can actually be there with, you know what I mean?

You have no freaking clue how much a doctor watches a patients mental health... Besides, they can't predict a spontaneous snap if he's perfectly normal. And telling someone that they're gonna snap, without good reasons, would just wind up with a slander and libel lawsuit against you.

Yup, it's just as rude, and bad for business if a bunch of people are having a fly fag outside the place. I know I'd turn around if I saw that. Why can't they just screw the nut and smoke at home? It wont kill you to stop smoking for a few hours.

Probably about expanding your horizons, as a car can't normally work on water. And water is an impassable barrier to most people.

Go on vacation, you'll enjoy it, that's my advice.

Dreams pick up on our deepest, most subliminal traits. So it's not surprising if a dream makes you wake up and say "WTF?" down to the 3 letters. If you don't feel like you're living up to everyones expectations, then it's just anxiety.

Not likely, gambling and gaming addiction are pretty different, since gambling addiction is when you rely on the europha os the prospect of winning huge amounts of money.

If they're not as fun, then suck it up and go to an arcade and play a few of the games there.

Good on you, you going into rehab or are you quitting cold turkey? Just remember that withdrawal symptoms can hit pretty hard, but in terms of weed, they're not harmful at all. You'll probably wind up depressed and boring like Bliss said, but you'll get over that with proper treatment. Good luck.

You mentioned getting dehydrated, unless it happens at an alarming rate, like you wake up with a mouth like syrup, then you shouldn't have a huge problem if you drink a lot of water and avoid salty foods. Unless you can't keep water down or it doesn't get into the system properly for some reason.

Sounds like the same guy that says that 99% of teens have tried weed. I seriously doubt those numbers, they were pulled out of a hat, a number is never accurate unless you look at EVERY teenager in the state. I swear, I've lost all faith in anything that uses the % sign.

What I want to know is how people don't notice their pills going missing, and why they don't keep track of EXACTLY how long they will last, and question everyone when it runs out a few days early. Gah... people, it's common sense!

Yes, Americans have the right to bear arms and arm bears, and I'm for equality, but in many recent incidents involving slaughters at schools and the like, the culprits were mentally ill, or suspected of being mentally ill.

Something like this should be put out across the country, because it is very reasonable, though unconstitutional. If mentally unstable people can't get guns, then it would really help.

Re: UK Doctors calling for higher tax on alcohol

I doubt it would extend further than not being able to buy alcohol. Besides, it would fail. Storekeepers in the UK are supposed to check for ID if someone looks under 25 if they want to buy cigs or beer. And we all know that doesn't work.

I looked up the prohibition of alcohol in the US, apparantly, crime went up quite a bit and went right back down when they legalized it after 12 years. There are a few dry states, but people can just go out of state for a drink, so it doesn't work at all.

You should, it's a good cause and well worth doing. But don't pay for the entire shebang, they can use a little help, but they wont learn as well unless it hits their own pocket. Also, helping them pay for it lets them know that you actually care, and you want them to sober up.

Yeah, heard about it. They should be killed in the most humane way possible. Last I checked, the law says that they are to be stunned, and rendered immune to pain by means of knocking them out or killing them instantly.

I've worked in a slaughterhouse before, keeping the meat in good shape. It's a pretty nasty job but then again, someone has to do it.

She doesn't, she hardly knows any of my friends now that I think about it. She isn't really a people-person.

Though, in a dream, albinos represent either eternal life, or intolerance. I know you're not an intolerant person any more, it's probably just some subconscious thoughts, either that or you have the hots for her. XD.

I dunno, but I saw a movie, probably on Lifetime, about a girl who was admitted to hospital because she was anorexic, and at one point, they asked her if she had eaten anything, her answer? "Two grapes."

Denial comes with a few things, but to me, denial is a river in Egypt.

Pedophilia refers to young, prepubescent children, you're thinking of ephebophilia.

Probably just teachers who haven't gotten any action in years, I'll admit, I had a crush on some of my teachers, and was actually dating one of them in my later years of high school. Before you brand me a creep or her a pedophile, I was 17, she was 19.

And by the way, not having emotional maturity until you're 18? You've been spoon-fed lies, a lot of places have age of consents of 16, some 15, and places like Japan have it as low as 13. The level of maturity varies from person to person to an extreme degree. Where I'm from, Scotland, it's 16. Although the idiot natives have a habit of passing the word "Pedophile" around like a basketball.

Very true, going to each others places of worship could make them uncomfortable, I haven't set foot in a church since my uncles wedding like... 8 years ago? Although, being able to go to each others churches is a good thing, but if either is uncomfortable with it, then it's not worth the hassle. It's why I generally avoid the subject.

Having someone who's of a different denomination can really open your eyes at times, I honestly, despite living in Scotland, don't know the difference between Catholics and Protestants, other than that Catholics interpret the Bible closely to how it is interpreted by the Vatican. And that Protestants interpret it however they wish. But one thing I know; even if you follow the same teachings, you can have different ways of putting them into your life.

Any Congregation that shuns a member obviously forgot about Jesus' teachings. He even preached that you should love your enemy, he preached love and respect for everyone on the same level as Mahatma and Buddha.

Love the Sinner, hate the Sin. That's a good quote to live by. God accepts those who accept Him and His Son, so why can't your congregation?

Cause they didn't read the bible enough, that's why.
