[QUOTE="quiglythegreat"][QUOTE="Hatiko"]

Unless Gearge Washington and his army are going to come out of their graves and try to kill me, I don't see why I need to learn their tactics during the Revolutionary War.

well military is interesting, no?

Yes, but making us read about it in a boring textbook that just breifly talks about it and focuses more on treaty's and other stuff is what history was like, at least for me.

well, you're confusing your education with the actual content.

Do you even know how much effort has to go into growing a plant and then harvesting it? I guess I could use your same argument against produce in the supermarket. Hell people could grow their own so all these grocer sections of supermarkets should be going out of business right?

well do you see that much support of locally grown organic food? the federal government is certainly not trying to help something that essentially could be really good for public health. the money argument holds very true for the entire organic food debate

I'm sorry but that has what to do with what I said? I merely pointing out how ridiculous the notion of "everyone" growing their own pot was.

it's not very ridiculous though. I think people need to become more self-sufficient in general. during WWI, gov't propaganda encouraged citizens to develop their own private gardens so that more rations could be given to the troops. so, you see, the gov't actually was ok with that kind of thing because it was strategically and commercially advantageous. now, agriculture has become another industry of mass production and subpar product. what I'm getting at is that growing your own weed, or growing your own anything, is not so difficult, and that organic food, though beneficial to the public health, is not as actively encouraged today as it should be.

Seems to me like the only music around anymore's Metal, Pop, Hip Hop, Electronic and ALT ROCK!

Is there anyone who listens to rock without it needing to be labled as Alternative?

Robert Plant, a prime example. Real rock music with this "Alternative" bullcrap. Infact, I wonder if there are actually any Rock musicians around today that are rock with being labled Alternative.

led zeppelin was cool back in the day when it was first coming out I guess but I feel like a lot of the ways that rock and roll can be new and different have already happened. there's so much music out there there's no reason to limit yourself. I really like a lot of rap right now, but I also like you know electronic and stuff. now I might say you don't listen to 'real' music, but how is that a substantive criticism of your music tastes? I think the only valid criticism there would be that a person is too complacent and not openminded enough to find things to listen to that are legitimately and wholly satisfying

[QUOTE="gregbmil"] Because they won't be able to tax it. It's all about money. If they made it legal people would simply put a seed in the ground and grow there own instead of buying it. You really can't do that with alcohol and cigaretees. I guess you could, but it would be a huge pain in the ***. So people just buy that stuff from the store.HoolaHoopMan

[QUOTE="hippiesanta"]Kurt Cobain said.... nobody dies of marijuanalawlnametaken
he was a herion addict unless my sarcasm detector is broken

interestingly enough, he was also blonde. I believe this confluence of factors (but mostly his constant and self-destructive weed smoking) brought about his untimely demise at the hands of Courtney Love/the government/himself.

[QUOTE="gameguy6700"] You're forgetting the key fact that the US government doesn't have to ask politely. The government has full power to say "if you don't comply with our order to pause services we'll shut you down permanently instead".

really? is there any historical precedence for this at all? I had thought for a long time that our government acted in accordance with its own laws to some extent. am I wrong here?

yeah I definitely care about history but I think that in general I've received a much more thorough education than the average American. my experiences in high school were mostly excellent (my school was decidedly above average) and now I go to a pretty good college. world history has interested me since I was old enough to be aware of it though. curiosity is innate probably

the government is clearly hatching a conspiracy to snatch away all our freedoms. it started with Obamacare and tomorrow it'll just be sheer marxism (which obviously entails a complete revocation of all political and personal rights).
