That myth was born of the "reefer madness" campaign in the late nineteen thirties because rich industrialists saw hemp as a threat to petroleum, timber, and chemical industry profits. The Dupont brothers figured strongly is that misinformation campaign.
thank you for taking some time out between bong hits to enlighten us all about your paranoid fantasies.
I plan on getting one of these babies, once they come out with more interfaces for it. especially since I tend to toss my keyboard as soon as it gets a little dirty.
would they even have current financial records in 2256, I mean wouldn't the great robot wars have wiped most of that stuff out?
and doesn't it make more sense to only go back 2 weeks? that way you can set up your other self to take the fall while you get plastic surgery and mosey off with the cash.
sheep-like herding is rather cumbersome to say. I propose what we come up with a nifty term that means sheep-like herding so we can talk about it and sound smart.
Someone should inform the telcos that they cannot offer this service anymore. Then the army of telco lawyers will kill the bill.
It's doubtful that this law is going to be enforced, and especially not against the telcos. It's just one of those things that sound like a good idea to a bunch of 65 year old white guys who don't understand what's going on.
no, the sky is not falling. states can pass as many dumb laws as they want, there's still higher courts that will listen and overturn the bad ones.
The fun thing about castes is, you cant do anything about it. Your mom was a toilet scrubber? Your a toilet scrubber, and your kids, and your kids kids.
same in the US. that's why we have lottery tickets. and beer.
I agree but you're completely missing the point, which is this:
1) historically, human diet consisted of 80% meat and 20% fruits and veggies and zero grains.
2) today human diet is generally around 50% grains. this is also recommended by usda. meat intake generally has dropped to around 10-20% with dairy taking up some of the slack
3) our bodies may be fine-tuned to our earlier diet, but they are also fine-tuned to give out in about 30 years.
4) you can't deny the evidence that a high-meat diet has negative health consequences.
you could say that a paleontological diet is what we're supposed to be eating, but by the same logic, 30 years is the lifespan we're supposed to be living.
if you're happy with that, then go for it. not many people are however. most experts agree that a varied diet is the way to go if you plan on sticking around.
When you think about it, in the distant past we spent most of our day doing nothing but looking for food
that's what you want to think because you would like to believe that technology makes life easier/better.
the reality is that (depending on where you live) 10 men could go out every friday and take down a buffalo with some spears in about a half hour. that would feed the tribe for a week.
the rest of the time was spent goofing off. no rent, no taxes, no hassle, no stress. you should be so lucky.
I guess I've been following this thread at a different threshhold than you because I didn't catch anything about kiddie porn, and I think it's pretty clear from the tone that it's not what I meant.
it's not really a stigma since we all do it, but having it called attention to like that is embarrassing.
it's like when you're buying toilet paper at the supermarket and the cashier asks for a price check, suddenly your face goes red and you think 'oh great, now everyone's going to know that I take craps.'

If someone enjoys abusing children, and enjoys the idea, the hope is we can intervene and get this person help before they actually harm a child.
I don't think anybody is really interested in helping these people. unless you consider 30 years of butt-rape helpful.

maybe because you can't get high from smoking corn?

It's well worth it for me to have the best device invented since the car...
to me that's like saying 'the best game invented since russian roulette...'
when there's something on that I want to watch and I won't be home, I just program my vcr to record it. I call it me-vo.
More importantly, let's hope for commercial windmill farms that don't kill birds.
better yet, a windmill farm that converts the birds it kills into energy.
A bunch of people will think I'm trying to be flaimbait, and yes, that is frightening
flaimbait hmm.. sounds like a french method of cooking worms. very frightening.
depending on how old you are I guess, elvis was either a sexy rebel or a fat redneck and a drug addict who died on the toilet.
it comes out that Spiderman is a pedophile!! Sony would drop that faster than a hot potato
well, it didn't hurt batman and robin

Will popup banner ads now be government endorsed?
yup, and not clicking them will be considered an act of terrorism.

something like about shepherding?
given the choice between living in a cave and being beaten to death by killer robots, I will take the cave.
and do you jokingly refer to your mouth as a 'cereal port'?

especially when you consider that the world population will double by then as well.

neither has diet. you have to go back at least 10,000 years to before we started eating grains.
I guess I've been following this thread at a different threshhold than you because I didn't catch anything about kiddie porn, and I think it's pretty clear from the tone that it's not what I meant.
no, we were talking abut regular porn and i think it's more serious that you associate that with child porn. get a grip.
pillars of evolutionary data point to what you should be eating
yes and they also point to a life expectancy of about 30 years, so if you can live with that, bring on the meat!!
I think the social stigma is much more serious.

just put a box of donuts on top. they'll never even notice it.
mmm.. donuts
