Not really something to be proud of, killer.

To all the people talking about the negative effects of legalization on society: It's ignorant to GUESS what will happen to society if it's legalized/decriminalized, because guess what geniuses, it's already been decriminalized in a number of countries and crime, accidents, deaths, did not rise as a result. Why do people always try to guess what will happen when you do something, instead of looking at what happened when their neighbors did it. We aren't alone in the world. There are other countries out there you know. It's not like "gee, I wonder what would happen if we fly to the next solar system". That hasn't been done, so of course we will GUESS on the results of what could happen. But if several other countries had already taken trips to the next solar system, we wouldn't have to guess now would we?

Portugal is one country that decriminalized it about 10 years ago. Time Magazine reports on the SUCCESS they had after decriminalizing.

Massachusetts has had an ounce or less of marijuana decriminalized since 2008. Regardless it doesn't challenge the fact that marijuana is illegal, it just changes the punishment.

Like I said, technically it's still illegal, but as far as I'm concerned, that's just a word. Whatever word you call it by, ether way, I can still walk down the street smoking it and the worst that will happen is I'll have to cough up $100. It's still cheaper to me than if it's legalized and I have to pay $50 tax everytime I buy it. If you want to call that illegal, sure, call it that. But I'd rather it be illegal with a $100 fine when caught, than legal with a $50 tax when purchased. I'm not going to get caught every single time, not even 2 out of 3 times. So it works out better and I save money as long as it's "illegal".

Ok but good luck with that because Arnold just signed into law a new bill that makes it an infraction if it's an ounce or under. So if they want to try to bust people for personal use, they won't get very far. If caught with it now, you pay a $100 fine and that's it. No jail time, no criminal record. So it practically is legal already and they can't do anything about this law since it's still technically illegal still. I like it this way, because if this other law in November passes, people would have to pay $50 tax on every ounce. I'd rather just walk around with $100 in my pocket in case I get caught with it and pay the fine on that rare occasion, rather than pay $50 tax on it everytime I buy it. I mean if the DEA is really trying to fight California over this, they already lost, even if this other law doesn't pass in November.

Yes I have many. But if you want to make money, it's much more difficult to do it when talking about your life. It's easier to make money talking about somethinng that can be marketed, so ads next to your text will be relevant and people will be more likely to click on the ads or advertisers will be more likely to pay you a monthly rate to advertise on your site. Like if your blog is about guitars, it's pretty easy to find advertisers to make money off of. Talking about all different topics like your everyday routine is much harder to get relevant ads for.

His stare grants him a 11/10, the guy is the definition of badass.dragon7x2k

I second that. The guy's stare is just something that has to be seen on film. I don't think pictures do it justice. In the movie Unforgiven, he gives the coldest stare I've ever seen in any movie.

And he's a great director, especially with Letters from Iwo Jima.

Yeah, because I was playing games back before Nintendo was invented, when Atari was the most popular console. Games have come a long way since then, so how could anyone who grew up with Frogger and the first Super Mario Bros resist the games they have today? 20 years from now they'll probably have 3d games or some form of virtual reality. how could any ex-gamer resist something like that?

There were many plot holes, and normally I just ignore them and try to appreciate the whole of the movie instead of nitpicking at little things. But in this case, it was very hard not to nitpick because the movie tries to play itself out as a very complicated and thought provoking dialog. I didn't find anything very thought provoking or deep about it. I agree that it's a very overrated movie. First Dicaprio movie I didn't like. I didn't necessarily despise it, but it wasn't above average for me.
