Random Bitching Monologues

but i'm okay with testing everyone if you'd rather go that route.

if you're gonna test the poor simply because they recieve government aid, then you should also test the middlle class and rich, because they too benefit from government aid.  the don't get it by direct cash payments..instead they get it by tax breaks, low interest loans, etc.

so if you want to test them, then you're saying you're willing to test everyone, I wonder...should we also limit all cars to keep from speeding?  should we start monitoring all bank accounts for untaxed income/activity.  should we put a camera in every street corner to pursue and charge everyone who litters?

it's all the same principle you're supporting..but the reason you support it was made clear from the start:  you want it for them, not you.  for the poor, not you.  for the other guy.

fascist.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Its very simple Weed = Alcohol, you cant drink at work, same goes for smoking.  Tax it, cut down on illegal sales and that will put more resources to go after the harder drugs. 

THC isn't physically addictive. Alcohol is. Tobacco is.

Weed is far less harmful than either of those legal, and highly taxed, drugs.

I ran two miles this morning and thought I was going to vomit afterwards.

Getting old, fat and out of shape sucks.  Can't do anything about the first one so I figued I'd try and do something about the other two.

Brilliant!

that's why I originally said  I know I'm opening a can of worms, because I knew I couldn't bitch about mandatory drug tests as screening for an office job, without the creeps coming out of the woodwork to call me a druggie and claim the government should be able to test everyone, etc.

Oh well.

[hunt]

when you admit to doing illegal drugs, you run the risk of being called a druggie.

hunt can't shake his days of being a hall monitor and reporting people for running in the halls.

i know doing drugs is hip but there's something about harassing pothead freedom fighters that i enjoy.

[rjs246]

It isn't about being hip, but you know that. It's about yet another instance of the government being hypocritical and allowing some harmful drugs to be legal while other, less harmful, drugs are arbitrarily illegal. To make things even more fun for everyone, people who recognize this hypocracy are stigmatized.

You know, the truth is that I hardly smoke pot or do any other illegal drugs anymore. But our last two presidents have admitted to doing drugs and the one who currently sits in his second term actually spent time in rehab.  It's probably time to let go of the idea that smoking weed is some sort of fringe activity.

I'm just as fond of making fun of hippies (or anyone who believes in anything) as the next guy, but labeling someone a hippy because they smoke pot is an exercise in stupidity.

Now, can we get back to bitching about dickwads who piss on toilet seats.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I only piss on the seat if I know rjs has to take a juicy dump.

Well that would be the majority of my day, every day. Thank god I don't live anywhere near you.

I just moved to Brookline.  We're still hanging out this weekend at your place, right?
