and the Raelians, and the Raj Neesh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osho_%28Bhagwan_Shree_Rajneesh%29


....and   ...and  ...and


Did you hear they're making an Atlas Shrugged movie? 

Raelians are hilarious!

And, yes, I've heard tell of the movie

I like stories like these. It reminds me that, while yes, Americans are stupid, there's a whole world out there making us look a little bit smarter.

CHICKEN BUTT!!

[AND that you prove it]

LDS membership is down, to the extent that they are reluctant to excommunicate people who used to get booted in a hot second. It's not even enough just to be GAY anymore; they demand that you actually be having hot gay sex, AND that you prove it.

By eating da poo poo?

Well played

Reading Crowley seems far more interesting than talking with Thelemics...

Thelemics are a fucking walking contradiction. If there was every anybody who advocated thinking for yourself it was Crowley. For all his faults and foibles he was pretty fucking clear on that one point. And what do the Thelemites do? They worship him and argue over what thoughts he intended for them to think for themselves. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more retarded than mainstream religion's Empty Box Scam, along comes the cult of the bald man

Isn't that pretty much what happened with the Church of Satan too?

NT, that sounds about right, thanks for the clarifying info.

In that case, I can't see it having a massive effect, as per what RWHN said in response to me.  In Europe, drinking and smoking ages are generally 2-3 years lower, and in those few areas where drugs are legal, similar age restrictions seem to apply.  Plus there is also the cultural difference, most evident in the Mediterranean countries, where alcohol is often slowly introduced at home from the early teens, if not younger, which seems to help people take a more moderate approach than in the Northern European states (and UK and USA).

So even if the ages were reduced to be in line with those of Europe, that cultural difference in dealing with narcotic substances may still have an effect.

I just got a funny image of an Italian family slowly introducing a post dinner joint to their kids as they grow older, vs. an English family going, "Roight, yer 18 now. Oi'm gunna get you good and fucked up on quality weed, son!"

Being a Masshole, I'd probably have to take on a state-level incumbent Democrat running unopposed and fight very very dirty and agressively. Either that or temporarily change my party.

[Drug dealers don't card.]

Protecting kids from weed is fine. Because, yeah, adolescents make stupid decisions. Like buying weed from a drug dealer.

If a kid wants to smoke pot, s/he's going to do it, with or without legal opportunity to do so.
Just like the kid who drinks alcohol, a restricted substance that is nonetheless legal.

I see what you're saying but I think you're thinking too much about what will the kids do? Nothing any different than they are now. Except that the store clerk can say, no weed for you, you're too young. Drug dealers don't card.

@Cain- tobacco, pornography, casino gambling and the lottery is legal at age 18. Alcohol is legal at age 21, except, I think, in Louisiana, where you can buy from a liquor store at 18 but can't go to the bar until 21. I would imagine that with legalization, you would have to be 21 to purchase marijuana.

Jeebus, forest fires, earthquakes, it's like the end of times in Quebec. 

Quebec- Come for the clubbing, stay for Armageddon!

Reminds me of the world-cup mentality - "Hey Joe - your team lost, therefore you suck by proxy, haha."

Not quite what I meant. Kind of along the same lines that since Google leads, any changes they make, others will make.

Since Google is the big dog, shitting on them is shitting on the rest by proxy.

GOP/Hardcore Christian gay sex scandals.



Actually the second one is kinda funny.

Silly face though it is, you have nice eyes too.
