Was the program link to UC Berkley? The giant robot I saw was at MIT, and I don't think CalTech has a big focus on that topic.
Our unelected leaders are taking care of that already
Stop being such a sore loser. You're just pissed off because the system that has kept everyone happy for 230 years failed you. I don't care who you voted for, they system outlined in our constitution was carried out in the election, and I don't see why everybody has to be a whiney little bitch about it.
I can't get streaming video through my 28.8k connection on my P75 machine.
I'm sure it was some poorly rendered talking-head of our president. Was it not?
Yet no one was deported... fancy that...
No one has been deported yet
BTW means "by the way". I try to type all of my salutations out. Sorry
Who ever said you needed high quality pot to get high?
I'm sure that people with a degree in specialized agriculture aren't the ones growing pot on their windowsils.
And getting rid of illegals has to start somewhere... why do you get all touchy when it starts with Arabs? We catch and deport Mexicans and Cubans all the time.

He's such a dream boat! Just like David Cassidy! ![]()
I still love you Josh
Even though you don't know how the AU clinics work. I can look past that and see the person you really are: an overly thoughtful man who really likes to see addicts kick their habit, even though they've been in it 4 times already. Ah... he's such a dream boat!
Why can every other immigrant...sorry..."extended tourist" have their visas renewed ahead of time? I don't see why you wouldn't have your paperwork renewed ahead of the previous visas' expiration date. Everyone else that comes into this country seems to have that idea down.
It does make sense to jail immigrants (no, that word isn't right in this context... "extended tourist" will do the trick) when they don't renew their visas on time.
A heroine user can be rehabilitated. The clinics can cut you off after awhile.
What happens when that urge comes back after a while, and they need their fix...BAD. Where will they go to get their drugs? Not back to the clinic. I'll give you three guesses.
I think stupid Skinhead American Nazi's should be taken out behind a building and shot. You can't have everything!
I love you too, Josh.
It's funny how paranoid you guys are of government surveillance, yet we've had a 4 page discussion of how to grow pot and what its benefits are on the other threads. Josh admited to smoking pot, and both soph and I have admitted to being around users, and nothing happened.
Brewing is a fine art, not to be dumbed down. I was making the point that Jack Daniel's type alcohol is hard to make because you can make the wrong type of alcohol (wood alcohol) and go blind.
And I have a few friends who grow their own pot. All he does is put it on his windowsil when his parents leave, and run home to take it down before they get back. Then he hides it in his dresser drawer lined with grow lights. It's not that hard, either.
Okay, so we give cheap heroine to addicts, in exchange for kicking the habit. If they're still addicted (which they all are) won't our work be wasted when they see heroine again, and decide to use it? I think heroine addicts should be taken out behind a building and shot. In the average person, what's there to save at that point?
My uncle is an army doctor, and while he was working in a civilian hospital in Seattle, he had to work the night shift. Every night, there would always be 10-15 teenagers, ready to die of an OD, and he had to be there to see what organs were salvageable. Pretty sad.
Maybe its easy if you have a "Mr. Brew" kit sitting around. Not if you're trying to distill it in a giant kettle next to the "cement pond". I can see granny slowly falling to the ground and Jethro screaming: "Ellie! Go get Mr. Drydsdale! Granny done drank a whole heaping mess a wood al-kee-hawl!"
And yet, Christmas these days is more about commercialization than it is Christ... funny, that...
Because many non-christians still celebrate the holiday. Most of us go to church service tomorrow (Christmas Eve), while the heathen among us
frantically head to MACY's to buy their last minute gifts.
Ever watched Charlie Brown Christmas Josh?
People don't "grow" their own alcohol. Ever watched the Beverly Hillbillies? They never show you when granny mixes her sour mash wrong and drinks wood alcohol instead, instantly blinding her. Good call.
I was trying to be funny with the doobie comment, but while we're on the issue, I thought you said that hemp contained THC. That was why I had the issue with growing hemp in the first place on the smoking thread.
And you do need to wean people off it, but why even encourage people to start?
Because even though it (pot) poses fewer risks than tobacco use, it still has risks. We don't want people growing a super material in their backyards and then smoking it. The only reason I agreed we should legalize hemp is because you can't get high by a small amount of it.
Why smoke pot, and let the government have everyone grow it and then use government health programs to fix it, when you can solve your problems with a walk around the park, or a hike on the weekends, or playing video games, or playing with your dog? It blows my mind!
Um, since people were arrested because of their nation of origin, and nothing more?
Who says it was because of their national origin? We do the same thing to Mexican, Cuban, Chinese, etc. aliens. The government isn't discrimnating on the basis of origin.
Heh, do you remember the TIPS program they tried to get passed? Reminds me of 1982's thought police.
I thought you were trying to make some obscure reference to the Regan administration. The book was called 1984.
You defeat your own arguement, Josh. You want people to legalize pot as a material, but then you admit that we couldn't tell a THC-void plant from a real one. If you can't find a way to tell safe pot from real pot, then the industry will have to remain nationalized.
So you're saying we use heroine to lure addicts into clinics, and give them free heroine while they're in therapy? What's the incentive to NOT to heroine, if you know that the government will just give you cheap stuff in exchange for "rehab"? That's bullshit.
Yes, we need to rehabilitate people because it saves us money in the long run, but don't entice people to do it.
The constitution is written on Hemp.
Then how about you roll it up and smoke a historically significant fatty?
legal? and if hemp is legal, why should hemp research be illlegal?
Because hemp is essentially weakling pot. I wouldn't trust anyone but the federal government or a trust contractor of the government with living marijuana seeds.
and we can hardly perform gene threrapy on humans, let alone plants.
You just compared the hardest type of therapy to the easiest. We're already building frost-resistant corn and grain, using an "anti-freeze" type gene from deep sea fish, and we even turned a monkey green (using a phosphorescent gene).
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?
No, you have a right to LEGAL information. Learning how to efficiently grow pot isn't any of your business...yet
BTW, Cal, what are we to do when THC-lacking hemp is create, but it looks exactly like regular hemp? Are we going to bulldoze down peoples fields, or are we going to test it first? And how do we know we're testing all of it? We'd have to sample each and every plant in a field. Or at least a majority of them.
No, this fear of hemp is unfounded.
Who says you can't genetically engineer this new plant farther than you already have? As long as you've got your MIT gene splicer warmed up, why not put in a fluorscent gene, or one that makes the plant bright pink?
Where were we? Ah yes...
CalTech2010:
Since when have tyrants moved into this country and taken away our constitutional rights? All we want to do is deport those Iranians back to Iran because they didn't have their visas renewed on time. Other immigrants can get their visas renewed on time, including other Arabs, so why should we just let them stay here because "their intentions were good...we think".
AltToWar:
obviously you have not been paying attention
CalTech2010:
Yes, I have been paying attention. And I'm telling you that I can still speak out against our government, hold a peaceful meeting with other citizens, practice my own form of religion, get a fair and speedy trial, not have my house searched at night, and keep and bear arms.
And my parents sure as hell voted in November's elections, so I don't see where you're getting tyranny from.
Take it from here...
