since there has been a lot of controversy circulating around....
what is your view on narcotic drugs?
personally i dont see much wrong with soft drugs and hallucinogens, but when it comes to hard drugs like crack and heroin thats where the line should be drawn.
I think discussing illegal drug use is at least as *taboo* as borrowing software.
In so far as discussing it openly I mean. Snarkpit doesn't need the stigma of such a conversation.
/last I have to say on the subject.

so it is justified to have a thread on homemade weapons and killing people?? (which i can say can be interpreted as terrorism)
@Gwil i agree with what you are saying about us more western states, though i never thought about it before
i dont agree with drugs/alcohol as a stress relief, because i believe that using them to relieve stress or depression often destroys the user in worse ways

The difference is, at least in this case. You were talking hypothetically about weapons and using them. I assume you have not killed anyone yet?
You are more/less admitting to using illegal drugs... Or someone will before the thread is complete.
There is a decided difference between admitting to doing an illegal action and contemplating a hypothetical one.
What I am saying is, the subject needs to be *taboo* and discussed in a purely noncommittal way.
I am, looking out for Snarkpit. I personally don't care if you kill yourselves doing drugs. Just remember to spell my name correctly in the will. The law frowns on typos.
Thats pretty much how I feel about it. I dont really see much point in taking drugs.
I think they should be allowed, people being addicted to illegal things doesnt really get anyone anywhere, and if you want to take drugs, it doesnt bother me.
experience is the best teacher....as much as it pains me to say that....
its the only way you could have told me anything when i was a young'un....

I don't have a problem with pot/salvia, a slight problem with stuff like LSD/shrooms, and a pretty big problem with heroin/cocaine. Er, people using them, that is. I've only done pot and the last time was a few months ago (I still get called a pothead, of course).
Stay in school!
Blatant example of human nature. If enough people do something wrong long enough, it becomes less wrong.
I think society has pushed this "Mind your own business" to the extreme. My wife is one of those people. If someone is in the 20 items or less checkout with 50 items, she won't say a word. If someone is parked in a tow away zone, she says nothing. She really gets mad at me when I do speak up and on many occasions has left me standing there while I rant.
My favorite thing to do is come out of the grocery store and notice that someone is parked illegally. I turn my head away and act like I cannot see them and drive my buggy right into their nice paint job. I look startled and exclaim "Man, I'm sorry, didn't you know that you weren't supposed to park there?"
Its such a blast to see them grumble. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">
omg Orpheus, you're mean! 
But I perfetly understand what you're saying. Dog s**t is a real problem here in Vienna. In theory you get a fine for not cleaning up you dog's excrements but the police never executes this. They claim to have "more important things to do". But it makes an otherwise perfectly clean city look disgusting at places. It's ridiculous. No-one cares at all.
always wanted to visit vienna, but Im not quite sure any more....
im gonna make an assumption here, but i figure big jon has been thru enough s**t in his life to warrant these kinds of outbursts...i do it as well....it must be that agism thing again, because the older i get, the less bulls**t i can stand....the last time i bit my toungue was at the store, where i was bruttally bashed by an old lady with a grocery cart, who not only bloodied my knuckles, but left a 3 x 12 bruise up the middle of my leg.....and she didnt say s**t...my youngest was with me, so i used it as a lesson for both courtesy, and respect.....and limped all the way to the damn truck.
point is, you guys think we are mean, and ornery, and constpated, or whatever, but i guaran-damn-tee ya, after about 4 decades of bulls**t, ya get to where ya cant take it as lightly as you used to....and all you young bucks will figure this out eventually....*crosses fingers....
and jon, you cantankerous old SOB.....give em hell brother, i wouldnt want you to be any other way than honest, with us, and yerself... " SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
