| Hahahah omfg.
"There's one thing you can undeniably say about Dean Foods: It has a sense of humor. It was being a real comedian when it told us that antiheroism and radicalism are identical concepts. Don't let yourself be persuaded by cuckoo flimflammers who secretly want to pander to our worst fears. Dean Foods claims that it's okay to go to great lengths to conceal its true aims and mislead the public. Sound suspicious? Morally crippled is a better word." HAHAHAHAHAH. For the win. Guess what it's about.. just guess. Spoiler:
Yeah. MILK. Milk. It's about milk. omfg. oh god I left out this: "Nothing offends Dean Foods more than the truth. (Read as: Dean Foods is living testimony to the scurrilous attitudes that represent a threat to all the people in the area, indeed, possibly the world.)

| I beat solitare for the first time today.
Yes I know, quite a feat. I'd like to thank God, coffee, ritalin and all the little people who made this possible. Microsoft for adapting solitare to the computer, and whoever invented solitare.. I'd guess probably a really bored prison inmate.. or a monk. And last but not least.. I'd like to thank those little foldable flaps on coffee lids. [= |

| Yeah I don't remember anything past like a week ago.
And I google to get here [= So that was my confusion. And yeah I was a member way back in the day... but I don't think I was there when the board kaboomed.. due to my frequent "I'm Gone"... "No wait.. I'm Back!".. routine of posting. Thanks for clearing up the confusion though [= |

| I can't even figure out freecell. Don't get me started on that.
But I've beaten Spider Solitaire many times.. it's a good game [=. And I beat it on one card colin.. three cards limits you and makes the game more difficult than it already is.. so I never play three card solitaire. Maybe that'll be my next task. Three card solitaire. Check back on this thread in.. oh say.. ten years or so. |

| What'll probably occur is that when there are basically no more fish left... fishermen will abandon fishing alltogether and the fish will be able to reproduce at a normal rate once more.. repopulating the seas and restoring the ecology of the oceans... and the fish utopia will exist once more.
Overfishing as well as pollution needs to be regulated though, before something like that happens. We really are having quite a dramatic effect on the earth... far greater an impact than most people realize. There are just so many people now, practices which used to work for us just aren't working anymore. For example... we used to fish and it worked out fine for us because there were less people to feed... but now there is such great demand for food we have outgrown the supplies. This goes for other things as well... things like logging and even the whole global warming oil crisis we have. We need to adapt to the population crisis before we damage the earth beyond repair. It's very FFVII if you think about it. |

| I believe men should have a say in the abortion argument. Women cannot conceive a child alone. However, it is often the women's choice moreso than the males choice. In a perfect world every father would be there for his child. In a perfect world people would obey the laws, and not shove hangers into their uterus to try and abort the babies themselves... which is really what was happening before abortion was legal.. and what would occur if it became illegal once more.
Want to know the abortion paradox? Many teenage girls who become pregnant have abortions without their parents knowing... it is legal (at least in New York). It is because they do not want to suffer the shame and embarassment of being looked at as a whore and regarded as a disgrace to the family. If this social standard didn't exist, I'm sure most teenage mothers would have their child and put their babies up for adoption. The same people who condemn abortions, condemn people who become pregnant outside of marriage... which feeds into the problem. I support a system that would encourage young mothers, or grown women looking to have abortions to consider adoption. Someone should tell these women that they are not going to disgrace their family. They are not whores. There is nothing wrong with them for having this happen to them. They can go on with their lives after they put their child up for adoption. No one talks to these women. The option of abortion should exist, simply for the health risks that would suffice if it became illegalized... but I think the abortion rate would drop significantly if someone just talked to these women. There is more at stake than their pride. |

| MMph Subway for life. I'm a hardcore subway fan. I want a subway air freshener in my car because the smell when you walk into a subway is the equivalent to the feeling I presume you get when you walk through St. Peter's gate into the kingdom of heaven.
MMmm omg. Other fast food? I'll have a Buger King Angus Burger.. with McDonald's fries.. and a Wendy's frosty. Oh yeah, I used to be a vegetarian... for like... four years. I kinda gave that up when I accidentily had sesame chicken... which I don't know if you've ever had it... but it is the best food. Period. |

| ahahah.. oh man.. The question box is by far my favorite. By far.
Here's me halloween two years ago.. 
Yeah that picture kind of blows. Hard. I'm in the middle bottom, next to the priest. I was the exorcist girl (Reagen) and my friend Steve was the priest. I loved it. I threw pea soup at people. I had gashes all on my face and arms.. I covered my eyebrows with stuff so you couldn't see them just like the real exorcist girl... and I fucked up my hair and everything. I was so ugly.. but it was soooo much fun to do. I wish I had a picture of the year I was Mary-Catherine Gallagher from Superstar. That was a fun year. That was 3 years ago. Then last year I was betty boop.. this year I was the mad hatter from alice in wonderland.. [= wooo for halloween. (edited by Snow Tomato on 11-06-06 05:31 PM) |

| I can firmly attest that you cannot participate in this conversation if you have never tried it. You have no idea of it, and nothing to base your absurd claims on. It is more a detriment to society to keep this drug criminalized. So many people get busted for something that is honestly not even as bad as alcohol. (see: liver disease, alcohol blood poisoning, vomiting, violence and diabetes). A ridiculous number of people participate in this activity, I'd say well over half of all Americans. We wouldn't have illegal drug smuggling, or as many drug related deaths, mob hits.. and if the government regulated it's usage there'd be no risk of picking up something that's laced and possibly actually harmful. We are not the minority, and should not be treated as second class, lowlife citizens. We shouldn't feel bad about it, and we shouldn't have to hide our shame from the world. It's absolutely absurd.
If you want to see how I feel about how people who never tried it.. talking about it like they know.. see the movie "Reefer Madness." It's a movie made in the 30s.. and think of it as the first anti-drug commercial. The opening text is this: "The motion picture you are about to witness may startle you. It would not have been possible, otherwise, to sufficently emphasize the frightful toll of the new drug menace which is destroying the youth of America in alarmingly increasing numbers. Marihuana is that drug - a violent narcotic - an unspeakable scourge - The Real Public Enemy Number One!" Oh yeah... watch out for those crazy kids running off to Wendy's and buying out all the visine at the local CVS. That's the real public enemy number one!! Watch out! And people who are addicted to really really harmful drugs shouldn't be treated like criminals. Who's honestly going to get off of crack in prison? They should be checked into a hospital, nursed back to good health and go through intensive rehab. This idea that people who are addicted to harmful drugs are criminals... is ridiculous. They have a dependancy problem, a severely addiction prone additude and they need help not handcuffs. They need to be shown how to make a better life for themselves, so that harmful activities don't become second nature. Most drug abusers are poor or vagrant. If we helped these people instead of having a policy that denies them housing, welfare and healthcare... America would be safer. Obviously things like crack and such should remain illegal, as they are actually harmful... but when an addict is found he or she shouldn't be handcuffed by a cop and thrown into jail... they need to be helped. Jesus would help them. (edited by Snow Tomato on 11-12-06 12:21 PM) (edited by Snow Tomato on 11-12-06 12:21 PM) (edited by Snow Tomato on 11-12-06 12:22 PM) |

| There were strange lights reported over Staten Island like, maybe a year ago now.. and alot of residents reported them.. and I even saw them myself. So, maybe. I'm not saying I know... but I think it's good that people do investigate these things. Everything should be investigated thorougly. However, alot of these people who go to investigate UFO's are biased in the belief that UFO's exist and that they are flying over earth right now. So, there's a flaw.
I'm saying there is definitely other life forms out there. I'm not sure if they've been here, but I could be wrong. As for "Loose Change". It's pretty interesting to watch. Controversial? Yes. But you really can't explain away all of the points about it. And why was the government so against the 9/11 comission investigating? You have to admit that's a little bit strange. If nothing strange or wrong happened, then why couldn't they investigate? And I think it's a little bit strange that we can't capture a vagrant terrorist... but we can catch the leader of the country with an organized military and resources. I'm not saying I buy into it... but there's alot of strange things about what's going on.. and I'm a firm believer in truth. We still don't know for 100% sure who pulled off 9/11... because all the participants in the crime died. It would make Bin Laden look stronger and more powerful if he claimed he set it up... but who really knows? The public certainly doesn't... it's most likely classified information. However in a matter like this.. I think it should be investigated thoroughly, without bias, a bi-partisan investigation. And the government didn't do it. That's insane and unplausable. I'm just saying that before we go and kill thousands of people in 9/11's name... we should investigate it more thoroughly. |

| The only real problem I can see with this law, is that it'd be easy for rapists to take advantage of it.
If they could safe-guard against that, I don't have a problem with it. Bathrooms have stalls for godsakes... no one would know. I'm sure it happens now as it is. It's not like a man to woman... who looks fully like a woman is going to use the mens restroom. |

| @ SS
"What problem affects "far more people," at least on American soil? Surely the problems with starvation and war and disease are enormously widespread on a global scale but, speaking only for the United States, abortion kills a million and a half human beings every year. Even if deaths due to other issues are "far greater" - which I am skeptical about - it's not as if that ~1.5 million figure is small enough to be ignored. That's a huge amount of human life." I don't like this arguement. Particularly the "only for the United States" part. Borders mean nothing. Aren't we all god's children? So, issues like poverty, starvation, disease and warfare... which affects a far greater number of people on earth... are less important that abortion? Abortions are the most pressing issue here? I don't know about that. |

| Make some friends! You need help getting back on your feet. Then yeah, seek some sort of social service or help to get you back on your feet... either get a job or request welfare (unemployment) until you're back on your feet, organized and ready to get a job. Then again... who's going to hire someone with no experience? You would need an education. Maybe work minimum wage for a long while... save up and and try to seek college financial aide... and get an education. Then eventually you can get a degree and a well paying job. Then find a boyfriend, or a girlfriend.. settle down and live out the American Dream.
Wow, that was thinking in the long term. |

| You're assuming a number of things in your arguement.
1. Drugs will definitely, without doubt, destroy your entire life. 2. That I was talking about Drug Dealers. Drug Dealers and users are completely different. I'm talking about a system where there would be no need for Drug Dealers and the violent crimes they do commit. I'm talking about a system in which the government controls the drugs. It would be far less dangerous. 3. That all people who do drugs want to destroy their lives. 4. That drugs, not guns.. are the problem. There's a big difference between a person who casually smokes pot for fun, and a person who is addicted to heroine. All drug users cannot be lumped into the same pile. Just as tylonol differs from oxycontin. Marijuana differs from cocaine. And I think if you're so vehemently opposed to someone who's high getting their hands on a gun, you should look to seek stronger gun control laws. You should also consider that a majority of killings, shootings, murders etc. happen when the murderer is sober. We have the highest number of gun related deaths in the entire world. Roughly 11,000 per year. When in the Netherlands, where the government has sanctioned that drugs are legal.. the ratio of the number of gun relation deaths is much, much lower. Europe is far less involved with the "war on drugs", and their gun related deaths are thousands below ours. It's a separate issue completely. I'm saying there is absolutely no correlation between gun related homicides, stabbings, murders and drug usage. You can argue that a majority of violent crimes happen in poor areas, with high drug usage. I would argue that this is because of the shitty way we treat the poor. You are a criminal the same if you stab someone, as if you smoke pot. So, why not act like a criminal? It's that same reactionary, authoritative, vindictive additude that causes people to lash out. When people are down on their luck they do one of two things. They struggle to make themselves better. Or they don't struggle and play the role that society's given them. What we have in America is a poor class of people that we refuse to aknowledge and help. It would be safer for America if we cleaned up the slums and let everyone have afforable, nice housing. Because that's where a majority of these violent crimes you're talking about occur. It'd be better for America if we admitted that not everyone is responsible for themselves. Not everyone can be expected to make the right choices all of the time. We need to help these people, not punish them. Maybe take them off the streets, for sure, but not punish them in the way prison does. Prison creates criminals. Almost everyone who goes to prison... winds up back there. Have you ever wondered why that happens? The system we have creates more problems than it solves. If we just admitted we had problems and dealt with them rationally... we'd make society safer. I'm not trying to argue that all people who break the law should be coddled and let off the hook. I'm saying they need intensive care and conseling which doesn't punish them and encourages positive change. I can tell you right now that when you tell someone "What you did is wrong. So we're sending you to jail, a horrible place where all the wrong people go."... they'll continue to be wrong... because.. that is what they are. I know this because of first hand experiences, not my own.. but of people I know who have gone to jail.. and people I know who have had some really hard times. But, getting back to the subject of drug use. There's one point I didn't address. Because you smoke pot doesn't mean you're throwing away your whole future. Take me for example. I enjoy it as a party enhancer, it's a fun time for me. I don't have to be on it to have fun.. because if I did.. I'd need it everyday.. and that's certainly not the case. I maintain well over a 90 average in school, and it looks like I'm going to have a bright future ahead of me. I'm clearly intelligent, not a genious... but I'm certainly not the traditional "pothead, stoner, degenerate" stereotype.. I participate in extracirricular activities, I have a job and I'm a productive member of society. Not all people abuse drugs. Not all people are ruining their lives because they smoke up.. not all people smoke because they have an innate urge to "go down the wrong path". Just as guns are legal for those who use them responsibly. Marijuana should be legal for those who use it responsibly. People are going to use both guns and marijuana irresponsibly anyway, whether they're legal or illegal... but it's extremely immoral and extremely irrational to punish the people who use it responsibly.
