WHY IS THIS EVEN A THREAD

Because getting a 9mm sized chunk of congealed blood, pus, and wax blown out of my ear with a waterpik may not have been FUN, but it was MEMORABLE.

ow! you ok? what happened?

More to the point, who's blood, pus, and wax was it?

We're talking about Richter, here.  Take nothing for granted.

and you dig until you find out the 'restriction' they chafe under is really Brown v. Board of Education.

THIS.

Republicans think they can pull another Scott Brown.

Help.

Why?  It's not like the dems haven't been trying their very fucking hardest to either BE the GOP, or suck ass on the minority, for reasons which escape me entirely.

The last election was a mandate for actual change, but the dems...from the least freshman rep to the president, have spent their time in Washington treating the GOP as a required voice in policy making.

Fuck the dems.  Fuck them in their eye sockets.  They are worthless, and deserve the stomping they have coming.  After all, if I'm given a choice between the GOP and the GOP, I'm simply going to vote for Joe Walsh (for everything) and call it a day.

You can hardly blame Kennedy and Bayh.

I mean, it must be very hard schlepping to and from Washington without a spine.

But *how* do i fight them Doktor?  The Nazi's made it so damned easy, they put on nice black uniforms and carried guns, made themselves targets that anybody who had a rifle could help fight.

But these new people?  If I tried to shoot them I'd be labeled a terrorist and stuck in a dark hole somewhere before I even managed to get a handful of them,

So I yell at anyone who listens.  Hell I've been yelling at my parents for 5 years now, but when you try to tell people Bad Things, the just clam up and refuse to hear it.  Even after the birthers and the bailouts and Sarah Palin my dad is still convinced that the republican party is about small government.  My mother just changes the channel every time the news mentions anything bad going on in the world.

You can't save anyone, Requiem, except maybe yourself.  Eventually, the Nazis get overconfident and put on those snappy uniforms.  Until then, the best you can do is try to convince people...and say "no", when the situation demands it.

Fascination with one's own body is bad now?
So learning about yourself is fluff? fine.
fuck off out of the thread then.

Apparently, we have a maximum number of threads allowed.  When they're all used up, the interwebs comes to an end.

WHY IS THIS EVEN A THREAD

Should we start closing down threads if they are deemed "unworthy"?

Oh, I realize he isn't advocating waterboarding. But, I agree with his analysis -- it's preferable to have clumsy non-working methods of interrogation rather than the clean and effective methods promised back in the sixties.

Neither is acceptable, neither is better than the other.

There is no excuse for torture, and certainly not "at least we're not doing worse things".

this is the stupidest thread made all week

A meaningless thread in Apple Talk?  We can't have THAT. 

no complete loss of motor skill or sense of social intelligence.

For you, maybe.

When I smoke pot, I'm pretty much worthless for the rest of the day.

This is why I gave the shit up decades ago.

And that Styx reference was clawing to get out.

I can hardly fault a man for wanting to expel Dennis Deyoung (sp?) from his bowels.

Back to the OP... Sometimes, I can't tell a Shackle from an Anchor. 

Most people can't, myself included, except on a case-by-case basis.  It occurred to me, however, that if I'm gonna deal with this paranoia business, I should at least lay things out logically.

Vallee has an interesting devil's advocate position here: http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/18/waterboardings-curio.html

He isn't advocating waterboarding, Enki.  Read it again.

Though I did have a good chuckle at the first comment, by some simpering coward who calls himself "Dragon Lord". 

I looked up the Oregon law again and you can have up to 24 plants, but no more than 6 can be mature at a time so you'd have to grow them in shifts. That's still a lot.

oh god yes. with some strains you can get around 4 - 5 pounds per plant with some of these monster things they have growin round here, and its a piece of pie keeping them not mature. I don't know how the weather rolls round there, but if you have a nice hot summer, you'll be in luck All I know about Oregon is you have to never, ever, ever, try and cross the river & don't spend all your money on bullets.

the great thing about weed plants is that you can have monster bushes with any strain.  it is all about how much you train(bend) and or top(prune) it while young.  then you can have outdoor sized plants growing indoors with proper lighting/ventilation/etc...

Shut.

The.

Fuck.

Up.

No one cares about your "pot expertise", especially since anyone else here who knows about pot will know that you're full of shit and just trying to impress.

It's no use, ECH.  The guy is a one trick pony.

LMNO
- just that kind of jackass.  However, there is something to be said for tightening up the jib and finding the north star.

Not until I get these leaky bilges fixed, and scrape a few tons of barnacles off the hull.

Also, doing exactly what you said is what got me in the state I'm in...of course, that's my fault for not learning how to navigate.

Maybe I should move this to TFYS.
