  1. Re:Is this that important ? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    I'd ask my friends to come and see An octopus' garden with me I'd like to be under the sea In an octopus' garden in the shade.

    Yeah quote The Beatles worst song. Here's one from Floyd.

    Doctor doctor!
    I'm in bed
    Achin' head
    Gold is lead
    Choke on bread
    Underfed
    Gold is lead
    Jesus bled
    Pain is red
    Are goon
    Grow go
    Greasy spoon
    You swoon
    June bloom

    What a gem!

    Perhaps they should focus their energies (pun not intended)

    Dear Reader,

    Please direct your attention towards my pun. Admittedly I do think it's clever, but I think that you think so highly of me, that I want you to know that I would never resort to using such a commonplace literary device in my prose. Therefore, I would like to formally renounce my attempt at humor and assure you that I am above making puns as a writer, as a pupil of language, and as citizen of Earth.

    Sincerest apologies, D. Baggerson

    P.S. - It was totally intended.

    At a friends house where they can show off their newfound coolness.

    True story.

    I taught myself BASIC on an Apple // when i was in second grade.
    A few years later when I was about 13 or so, I was playing spin the bottle at a party which happened to have an Apple //.
    I thought "Hey! I can just write a computer program to do this! Check this out guys!"

  17. Same old on Review: Wrath of the Lich King · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I've been playing for 3 years now, and it's still basically the same deal. Grind to 80 and then raid.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it's still just a content patch. Sure, new spells, some of the stats and mechanics are different, but it's still the same game. Also, for those saying 'I played wow for a day and it's a big grind', you're missing the whole point of the game. It's meant to be a SOCIAL game. Get to 80 and join a guild, raid for a while, and you'll see what the game is intended to be. The teamwork aspect is pretty cool.

    I give WoW 10/10, WotLK 7/10.

  19. Re:Change Laws for Sentencing not laws against dru on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    Insanely expensive? Why? 1/8 of an oz. of marijuana costs $50 here. That is insanely expensive considering I could grow it myself for only the cost of water and electricity. I bet over 3 months, I could grow 50 pounds for a combined cost of ~$500 (minus the initial cost of the lights and other apparatuses). If I were to buy that right now, it'd cost me about $225,000. The price can only go down if it's legalized.

    The reason it's so expensive because is because someone is risking their life when they grow the shit. Either a life in prison, or death by a cop or their boss, etc.

  20. Re:Regulation smarter than Prohibition on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1. I'm still for draconian penalties for anybody who sells heavy dope like heroin or methamphetamine to a minor. Anything crap like that should be heavily regulated in it's sale and taxed heavily but intelligently. The taxes should be just high enough that the bootleg bathtub stuff doesn't look good. Tax evaders can share cells with ones selling dope to kids.

    If it were legalized, drugs would be cheaper because there is far less risk/travel involved. This would put the cartels out of business. Sure, kids can still figure out ways to buy cigarettes if they are under 18, but it's MUCH easier to get a bag of weed because it's all underground. Some store clerk will have to risk his job just like he would today selling cigarettes or alcohol to minors.

    2. Being under the influence should be a crime enhancer rather than an exonerator: "Your honor! It was the crystal meth that made me go crazy with that axe!"
    "Fine. I hereby double your sentence for axe craziness"

    Well, then it seems that you aren't for legalizing other drugs. Why would meth be treated differently than alcohol? And why would the sentence be increased for doing something legal?

    Ditto for crimes committed for the purpose of obtaining drugs though they should be much more pure and affordable being regulated and with mafias mostly out of the picture.

    No, a crime is a crime. Just like a crime "ontheinternet" shouldn't be treated any differently. Say you rob a bank, you are charged with robbery, not robbery for the purpose of X.

    Cheaper pure drugs and delivery devices mean that dopers will be able to hold down jobs and so-forth a bit longer before skid-rowing themselves.

    You are still stigmatizing drugs.

    And who knows? Dopers with dead end McJobs may have enough brain cells remaining to hold them indefinitely.....just like the alcoholics.

    Remember, it's people like that that help maintain your carefree no hassle style of life. Someone has to do it, you don't need to be a dick.

    This is only meant to accomplish two things. We don't pack the prisons full of non-violent recreational users and small time sellers and we remove the biggest profit center of organized crime. I don't deny that out-in-the-open drug use won't make apparent new out-in-the-open social problems. I suspect that conspicuously not coddling people who mess themselves up may be be the best deterrent to "having all you can eat".

    I do agree with this though.
