Dance, monkey, dance!


 :lol:


You aren't very good at reading social cues are you?

I can tell you can't back up your claim, and I don't care if you want to save face.

You're not very good at evidence are you, chump?

Also, let's think about this.  In this paper, about MEDICAL marijuana, they are claiming that marijuana is a substitute for alcohol.  (which frankly is bullshit but lets set that aside for a minute).

You claim it's bullshit, and let's not set that aside.

Let's see some facts to back up that claim. The paper that you tried to shit on for being provisional (yet you can't point out any flaws in it) isn't the first to collect evidence to support the idea that people drink less when they have greater access to marijuana:

http://www.harmreductionjournal.com/content/6/1/35

That this would reduce the amount of alcohol-related fatalities and traffic incidents isn't exactly rocket surgery. Looks like greater access to marijuana DOES reduce social costs but you can't bear to admit it because you're a dogmatic idiot who has tied your ego to being right, not doing what's best for society.

Bump.

A week later and smart guy still can't find any evidence to support his claim.

:retard:

I have no good reason to feel fantastic on Mondays, and yet I always do....

I mean, a link to a bill would totally give out his mother's maiden name, his SSN, his street address, and his favorite mixed drink.

Worse yet, the women he's been dating might figure out where he lives!

Yep, especially the two co-sponsors of the bill who flipped and voted against it.

 :lulz:

Link, please.

 :lulz:


Gerzofsky, one of the Committee chairs, and Lajoie were two of the 35 co-sponsors of the bill.  They both ended up voting against it.

That's not a link.  I'd like to see what amendments and riders were added and when.


Google.  I'm not linking you to the site for the bill because it would provide easy access to personal information I'd rather not have easily accessible from this site.

Stop posting facts here, Net, they have no place in a thread like this  :lulz:

Ok, I just ran into some evidence that made me rethink my position on marijuana—RWHN has a point:

I thought you'd try to distract away from the above quote, RWHN.

Perhaps it was also posted too close to one of Telarus' comments, which in threads like this, tend to have content that must be highly embarrassing to the last shreds of intellectual honesty you retain.

I see that what you meant to say was that your unsubstantiated opinion on social costs "frankly is bullshit."

Got it.

:lulz:

RWHN, your claims of being a centrist, frankly, are bullshit.

You're also a flat-out liar, in that everyone in this thread believes that marijuana is harmful to kids. What you can't seem to parse is that prohibition is more harmful to everybody.

He doesn't really do the middle ground thing. Just so you know.

Ohhh.  One of THOSE.
 :roll:

Yeah. He's basically said that there is no amount of evidence and no amount of harm that prohibition could do that will change his mind.

I do enjoy watching facts bounce off of his face though.

Speaking of art, Portland's latest thing is going to the art museum naked. June 8th, Portland Art Museum is partnering with the Naked Bike Ride by offering admission at a cost of $1 per article of clothing.

I'm going to go, because when will I ever have another opportunity to go to an art museum naked with a bunch of other naked people?

Hopefully, every year, forever.

I'm going.

Apple Zone / Re: On fucked Millennials:
« on: May 17, 2013, 09:27:06 am »
THIS.

http://www.mattbors.com/blog/2013/05/09/millenials-arent-lazy-theyre-fucked/

I think that the real message to be gleaned from this is one that particular millennial let fly right over his woefully self-obsessed head, even though he mentioned his mother having to work for minimum wage (and then promptly forgot about all the older people who are facing a reality of working for shit pay with no benefits until the day they fall ill and die): EVERYBODY'S fucked.

This is not a gen-Y problem. This is an everybody problem. It's just that the people who are young adults now have the free time and energy to potentially change things, while older people who have kids and possibly mortgages are locked into a daily survival grind that leaves little time for changing society. That closing cartoon kind of sums it up, in a way he probably didn't intend it to; parents and children competing for the same shitty jobs with shitty pay, but the parents are the ones providing the "home" to move back to so they don't have a lot left to give to the cause of making shit better. Meanwhile, unemployed 20-somethings who are living at home have an opportunity to make some change with all that free time.

Time to start beheading the aristocracy, kids.

So fucking quit whining and get on it, son.

:awesome:

I can vividly imagine RWHN covering his eyes with his hands when he next visits this thread and yelling "LA LA LA I CAN'T SEE YOU!" when he gets to the part where his uneducated ideals are methodically and scientifically broken down yet again.

:lulz:

:lulz:

Seriously though, I think he'd be a great example of micro facial expressions. I bet the true emotion that would leak out for an instant after reading such posts would be a blend of fear and sadness.

I have to admit that I have a morbid curiosity about RWHN. How can someone so seemingly intelligent that seemed to value scientific evidence over unsubstantiated beliefs get their head that far up their ass? Long troll? Snowballing egoism? A small lie he told himself a long time ago that he's had to construct more and more lies to maintain? A minor stroke in an unfortunate part of his brain? Is he ever going to get his skull so far up his digestive tract that it bursts out of his chest like in Alien, whereupon he'll quit his job, buy a Mazda Miata, and chase women half his age?

I know I'm sick, but I'm fascinated.

Apple Zone / Re: OH HOLY SHIT COOKIES
« on: May 15, 2013, 09:03:13 pm »
I got your cookies, thought I posted about them, and just realized I the post did not go through.

They were outstanding! Every last one of them, except the waffle which I failed to refrigerate before mold set in.

My baby's momma closed our child support case after you sent those, so Oregon has stopped directly taking it out of my pay and then NOT sending it to baby's momma in California.

:crankey:

So she'll always get the money now because it's coming direct from me rather than getting "lost" between state governments.

We've been having adventures in child support over here, too. Glad to know yours is working out!

FOR SCIENCE, do you remember which waffle had the mold problem, and when it set in? I'm hoping to improve the shelf-stability for the inevitable next time I go crazy and bake.

The cookies shifted space-time to a slightly more favorable universe. As a timelord, I'd recommend two witty comments and one direct look into the TARDIS. That or if someone sent you a box of Vindaloo ought to do the trick.

I want to say it was the waffle that was more yellow in color that molded, but I can't quite recall. Mind you, I was an idiot for not refrigerating it for days on end.
