random statistical processes.
wouldnt that indicate a random element...your free will? besides, your choices still affect the function, not the other way around. your choices are in a sense, the function. we can never predict the future completely-only in generalities, and possibilities. if someone knew what was going to happen, they could always have a chance at changing it.
caltech, nobody ever said ever other immigrant can get theirs on time. there are thousands upon thousands of illegals in this country. we know theyre here, we just ignore them.
i brought that up earlier. turns out some of them did renew their visas, the government was just too slow in giving them out. is that their fault?
so we should let anybody with a problem die?
what?
im not being racist or anything, just basing my opinions on statistics and trends.
alcohol is easy to make. add yeast, filter out yeast, drink.
cal, you dont need health programs to fix it. what major health effects are there that need treatment?
Says who? Have to nothing. Pot is hardly a health hazard. Why should it be controlled by the government? Theres no reason it needs to be.
legal? and if hemp is legal, why should hemp research be illlegal?
and we can hardly perform gene threrapy on humans, let alone plants.
oh, so now the people arent free to information? so the government is allowed to keep secret information? is this the USA, or the Soviet Union?
like i said, an internationally run agency should mark off land, owned by the organization that landed in that area. the organization can then parcel it off as they wished.
you gotta get a grip. youve got a real fixation on this stealing your vcr thing. more violent crime is caused by guns than pot, and thats with pot being a black market substance, which would magnify its attachment to crime.
thats ridiculous. tobacco is far worse, and its not regulated by the government. why should hemp be?
no, he was explainig why heroin od's occur.
the electoral college allowed a man who shouldnt be in office to sleaze his way in. gore lost his own state. why? because he was against tobacco and guns. being anti-tobacco lost him a few electoral college votes, yet he still won the popular vote. why does he lose the election because a bunch of people like to smoke?
you want to talk about screwing up the country for a minority, look at this election. the electoral college represents the minority, not the majority. what it does is say, alright, in this county, he won, the margin doesnt matter. its simply not fair.
why dont you want to argue about it? because its indefensible?
the guy who won the popular vote lost the election. if thats fair, then we've got problems.
Thats a hard question. we cant rely on the UN, because the countries that cant get people to mars will be against any initiative to do so, because theyll see presence there as a threat, an insult, and theyll try to stop the wealthier countries from getting the benefits they deserve.
we should set up an international space coalition to decide this. they could set up guidelines for travel to other planets. perhaps they could offer incentives to organizations to follow their rules. if they make enough money, they could buy launch sites, and truly regulate travel.
youve got issues accepting being wrong.
ive been exposed to second hand marijuana smoke, and i havent gotten high- but ive seen it happen. it takes a shitload of smoke in close proximity to do that.
actually it was this wonder material. and cops can be corrupt. the cop is also not telling you from his point of view, hes teaching what hes told to teach.
the government also says oil is clean. do you trust that?
except this isnt the case. just look at canada, when they legalized pot, pot use went down.
tobacco is a victimless crime?!!! are you nuts? i dont know about you, but i dont want to get lung cancer from secondhand smoke, which i couldnt get from a pot smoker. i dont want my lungs turned black because of secondhand smoke. i dont want my children to have problems because my wife was exposed to secondhand smoke.
this all doesnt happen with pot. and a high lasts a good, thirty minutes to an hour. if youre drunk, youre drunk for hours, and then you wake up smashed.
and i dont remember people having hallucinations while they were high on pot, but hey, go ahead and rewrite the facts.
but this treaty only applies on earth. and we could set it up through the mars society, not necessarily through a government. and it is not unheard of for a government to run a "private" company.
the problem is setting up a real system of claiming land. maybe, if some organization lands on mars, they get, say, the surrounding thousand acres? thats a decent amount of land, not too large, and not too small. and its fair, because it promotes getting there, and rewards those who do.
do you believe everything they teach you in school?
ive never smoked pot, but you take everything to an extreme.
"they told me so, so it must be so."
i have friends that smoke and play 5 sports with no problem. like anything else, it depends on the person. how can you allow tobacco to be legal when its much more dangerous to society?
