Well, with everything thats happend in the past month or so I would like to ask you guys how life is going.
I may be only 15 but I have a much deeper veiw of life than others think. There is only one thing a person needs to do to live happy. Enjoy everything you do. I have lost and gained a lot in my life but there if theres one think I can promise you is that there have been more people than I can count (that I personally knew) die. In only the past three years or so seven or eight people I knew have died but one think that was the same in each death was that I didn\'t cry. I have never cryed for somone dieing and I never will. I still see life as somthing nice that is up to me to enjoy. Now, I\'m not the richest person in th world, but, I do live in a house in so-cal with 3 cars, a comp, my own room, a gamecube, and more. I have so much to thank my parants (no, not God. My parants) for. I will never let somthing influence who I am, let it be a death, terrorist attack or anything. Not even you people who listen to death Metal have to think life sucks. Enjoy it for what it\'s for and squeez all the fun out of it until the day you die.
Also, be an individual. Don\'t let the stupid media poisen another good brain. When Fox says \"stay tuned we\'ll be right back\" Say Shut up, ur not the boss of me and change the channle so those basterds trying to keep you glued to the screen lose money. Be yourself for whatver you do, now, it won\'t be easy but you will feel much higher and better than those slaves of the media around you.
(btw if you watched VH1\'s best commercials of the year you are an ultimate mind slave)
I get in trouble for being myself at school but Im not changing for anyone except myself. Teachers (especially the assistant principle) talk to me differently because they know if I get in trouble for doing somthing \"bad\" I will fight to the death with them for my side and not give up. I have been in the office for over an hour before talking to \"Mrs.Kim\" because I didnt do anything wroing but I got punished for cheating anyways. Ofcourse I got in even more trouble for putting up a fight against the dicatorship but I don\'t mind. Now, Im not out to change the world but I will do what I belive in even if there no hope for a good outcome. I have also been sent to the office twice because I was right and the teacher was wrong in an argument and they sent me to the office to set me as an example of what will happen to the rest of the slaves if they dare to speak up against their masters.
Now, with all that said and done I would like to wish all of you a good life and know how yours is going. :)
Have a nice life!

Meh life is so boring..
Starts with work and will always end with work for me, but I got a new computer and saw my sister finally take hold of her dream to go travel in Central America so I am about as happy as I will ever get unless I win the lotto.
Guess it doesn\'t help that I am slowly losing interest in PlaneShift for some stupid reason and I haven\'t been tending to my guild leader duties, slowly the world of one crumbles but hopefully not yet..
-
Blissfully happy thank you, for anonymous reasons. :P You\'ll never know my dark secrets! :D
-
ahh i love this post. it sais so much to me. this has to be the most meaningfull post in the forums. you remind me of how i think. though im not as open with my fealings.
cheers

Thinking of life is usually a sign that one getting older. Well... Let me try to figure out how to answer more completly to your post.
Enjoying life is not always possible due to the nature of living happy. There is always something that definetly makes you happy, and if that is missing - enjoying life is quite hard. Life is like a zebra, it can change every minute and if suddenly you have been robbed of whatever you had required for your felicity, life becomes miserable.
Not crying for people you lost? This can mean two things, either you\'re manly enough not to cry, or you\'re inhuman monster, who doesn\'t even care about anyone. Pick one ;)
About media... Switching the channel every time the newscaster says \"Stay tuned\" makes one quite original in... some other... way. Of course you can argue that the phrase sounds like a command, but I think most people are used to considering it more of a anouncement. ...and a last thing (note: If you\'re not a TV maniac, you can skip those next two lines)... Want to be original, put that TV remote control down and do something useful.
Please fininsh reading the post before saying that I\'ve gone OT. Quite some schools in US have racism. I can easily remeber an example... When I was in 7th grade (almost in jurassic period), I had a fight with \"African-American\" kid. So we both went to the principle assistant. The kid told his side of a story (which was something like this: \"I was goin\' to pick dat ball, but he tackled me! I sad \"wtf?\", but then he said, he was goin kik my rass!). After the novel, the assistant just let him go without even asking me! But that is just social position. Let\'s see what schools actually teach... hm... Until the middle school, its just a child play (our family friends have their children going to ES). What\'s after? Well... When I arrived to my first school day in America, I was shocked. I could not imagine a reason for drawing some random rectangles and circles in 7th grade science class (not saying that I had a hard time trying to define exactly what does \"science\" class study). When I went to 8th grade, I started a second school (which was located at my country\'s embassy) to add some more challenge. I almost died. At night I had physics, chemistry, geometry, biology, algebra (more like U.S. Algebra 2(c)) et cetera. In public school I enjoyed... ESOL class for reDarTs, Algebra class for reDarTs and some more adventure. The only class I really enjoyed was U.S. History - some moments were pretty intresting... So... sorry to say that as I\'m still there, but Yankee school system is a (not a nice word there) system. As far as you\'re a student, I advice you not to fight it. Laugh at it, make fun of it, but do not fight with it. It won\'t lead to anything good as for now you\'re just a lowly student and nobody will listen to you and your arguments.
-
Well, Efflixi (Blah, still hard to say it...) I agree with you a lot on that except for one thing...
You don\'t take shit from anyone because you are one badass mother f*cker, right? That\'s the impression I get from you and your viewpoint on don\'t let anyone change what you do. Yeah, you don\'t want everyone telling you how to run your life, but you do need to learn how to take orders from someone.

I hear that quote all too many times and I think it is immature and stupid. No offence intended, but it is. Like you said, be an individual; I agree 100% with you there, but if you live by your own rules every single time, you will be shot down. (Not literally...) Example from a future job or something:
>Boss: I need you to stay about 30 minutes later today to finish up this important business deal for me. It would be appreciated and I am too busy with other stuff to finish it tonight.
>You: Hell no, I am leaving when my shift is over and you won\'t tell me differently.
>Boss: I\'m not going to put up with your badass attitude anymore. I have put up with it for almost a year now. You\'re fired.
>You: I don\'t care...I can always get another job.
Ok, yeah; corny example. You may not be like this now, but don\'t turn into someone like that. You just seemed that way to me from your views, and that will hurt you later on if it is true.
If I didn\'t mention it earlier, I agree about living life to the fullest and getting everything out of it; you only live once. Also, I don\'t cry at funerals because I just don\'t seem to show emotions really; not sad/depressed ones anyways.
-
I agree with the get out and do somthing but not the lowly student part. Get a gun, take it to school, and put it at your own had. See how lowly you are then. You have a voice if you use it right. Planning a successful sit it can be very productive.
-
the american school system does suck, thats why our country is so bad as it is... *sigh*
though not all schools are the same in the past 3 years i have been to 4 different schools, 3 highschools and 1 middle school... each one was different and had a different enviroment, of course now im in one of the crappiest... its underfunded and overcrowded... 2000+ kids?? at least i wasnt stuck in 2 janitor closets for classes last year
well for me any i start my day at the computer and will end it there so HAH!
-
ok guys stop trying to negative-erise this post, or Efflixi Aduro\'s thoughts.
everyday something always screws up in my life. its usually my fault, but i dont hate myself. I am damn glad that i am me and no one else. when something screws up, its all part of the fun gamble of life. lol, I do laugh at things like that.
and...as of all my posts....cheers
-
my life is going like crap... *\"wish\"ful thinking* the thread about sums my life up :( i was let down by wish let down by GTA:SA and now let down by horizions.. and since games are my life i am feeling very stupid (for making them my life.. i made them my life back when they where really about gaming and where fun and good.. now a days i just don\'t know any more) and bored right now... well the sun is evil and its coming up.. time for me to sleep i guess.. sleep and breathe.. thats most *all* of my life right now XP
-
well iam preety much still hated around here (ps) *dodges wave of rotten produce* i know its my fault but heck i asked for it so i guess i reaped what i sowed here.
other than that iam doing fine in real life lifes just alittle more tight with work and stuff but its nothing i cant handle.
Ot:
@ Efflixi don\'t be so sturbon(i know your not stupid), but i guess its the \"communist at 20, capalist at 30\" phase your in but heck, if theres no good in what your doing \"give it up\" dont let the nike ads get to your head :P
sometimes you gotta give alittle more respect to authority, Yeah even if you got accused of doing something you did not do. More courtesy towards your oppressors helps , now iam not asking you to wax their cars or pledge your life to them (you know what i mean). It would tip the balance of the arguement over to your side or at the least, land you a lighter sentence. If you want to change your school or socieity then get into a position where you ARE able to change things. Get involved in the student council or start a pettition dont go overboard and rebel like a madman, hell you may not like it but you cant have your cake and eat it to !
i suggest you \"take it like a man [size=-4]TM[/size]\" and cry in your room so no one can hear you :D j/k
just remember your teachers, have to look after you and your fellow schoolmates and they also have their own family issues to deal with not just you and your non-sense.
@ faldrok
it could be that you just arn\'t attatched to the person who died.
sure if a distant aunt dies i don\'t think i would cry (i sound like a b**sturd here) but as the person didn\'t mean alot to me or i didn\'t really knew the person well enough then i guess its natural not to cry.( but of course i dont laugh out loud, throw confittie over the grave or wear a big stupid grin )

Pfft... it\'s not Death, but Doom Metal that has \"life sucks\" themes :P
Well yea, life is fun. You can swordfight with other people or go to woods to relax... or even better - go to woods and fight with friends :D
What? :<
- Swords

fighting the dictatorship face on has dire consequencies as to how you may be viewed as a person. If you want people to think of you in the positive colours of life try the subtle mind warp approach...
A lot of people view sticking up against something like accusations as an admission of guilt (probably because they are full of it themsleves about aspects of their lives) and feel the need to make examples of those they should be protecting.
I always try to make them think that it was their idea, that way you get positive feedback about your behaviour and they think that everything is alright....ok this will only work if you can \'read\' the person youre trying this on, but if you can do it then your days are made.
Showing respect to authority is a great piece of advice...After all its also a great way of buidling rapport and gaining information; if they view you as non-threatening and non-hostile its amazing what they will tell you.
When I was at school and gone through the whole rebel stage and realised more could be done from the inside I took it upon myself to boycott a teacher that was universally disliked...she got transferred due to and I quote \"the obscene amount of incompetence this class shows\" a week later we aced the up an coming test HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I hated school and all things associated with for a long time, yet by becoming a part of the workings I got something good done for the students rather than the teachers!
Emotions are very weird things. But grief is the strangest, I know I used to work in a Funeral Directors so had to do grief counselling. I found it easier to switch off to grief etc after that. Strike that, not ignore but to convert those feeling into something productive, yet at the same time something which I could associate with those lost.
That way grief doesnt become overpowering and I had something good to remember them by.
Back to subject
Life at the moment is ok(ish). Ive got to start looking for a crummy job soon as savings have depleted to the point of Im thinking about em!!! :O
I just hope its not another 18 months of working in admin with a bunch of semi-retarded civil servants!
-
Interesting.
Though I don\'t argue with the teachers, I use mind tricks to get off easy.
I especially like the way you put death. My cousin is one of those EMO depressed kids that talks about suicide and stuff, and how people will miss them. I know I wouldn\'t. People die, that\'s life(or rather the end of it). I in fact look forward to it.
As to my life, it\'s painfully monotonous. Get up Go to school. Come home. Sit on the computer all day while my sister pisses me off, go to bed. I hate everyone by default so I don\'t go out much. Sometimes my friend will come over and we\'ll play with flash or go tobogganing and yell profane things to people doing burnouts in the high school parking lot. Though life is boring I stick to my motto, \"It can always get worse.\" Be grateful for what you get because you could be getting less.

What\'s the point of doing that? They will just get you disarmed (you do know that almost all of the teachers studied psychology as well), either by words or physically. After that, you\'re even lower than you were before, because now you\'re also considered mentally unstable and watched closely. You can also say, that your life is ruined as well, because your naughtiness will stay with you forever in a form of your permanent record.
I\'m not sure of what you are trying to get by putting the gun to your head, but depending on what kind of people sit in your school\'s office, there is a great chance that you won\'t get it.
If you are after attention....It is one of the worst method of getting it.
-
I don\'t want to sound like your parents or anything Efflixi, but you have such a typical teenager attude. :) Congratulations.
-
Pfft, Ice Falcon just called me the worst think anyone can. Typical. Come over to my house and see how \"typical\" I am. And ask me tearches how typical i am.
I think Im more of an anarchist/total reform person.
-
you do sound typical... like 75% of the population at my school :\\
i am anything but typical, as i am so different than anyone i know, no one is like me, and i am like no one :P
-
Ah! Im so offended! I simply ask how life is going and i get this :(
Bah! Im so pissed I just got stick outside my house for 2 hours with no sweater or jacket and in the rain.
-
ouch, i hate being stuck outside, but no more as i have a magical key i cant lose!
anyway i was just making a statement between you and almost everyone i see all day... it must just be the different areas i guess... everyone here seems to want to kill each other, all the time!
anyway so today was the first day of the new semester.. i am very happy.. i got high score of 103 on my Chem. Hon class semester test and a high score of 115 on my Geometry Hon class semester test!
got two new classes: Economics Hon and Drawing I, i guess i might as well learn to draw to compliment my other skills, but the class has 55 people in it! way too many! should have about 25-30 :P
my day was great, i dont have to see someone anymore, good since she liked to abuse me, my legs will never fill the same way again after all those kicks, *whew*
well um... a friend in my 7th changed schools, and my other one got a class change, i think, so im now alone in that class, besides a few other people i know and have no wish to talk too
so yeah i got home, straight to computer and im still here, trying to develop a campaign off the d20 rules for me my brother and 2 friends to play... never thought it\'s be this hard to develop a nice easy but fun adventure for 3 lvl 1\'s
so that was my day

Don\'t you hate it when the truth comes up from behind and pinchs you in the butt :D Anyways you can\'t stop what you think and feel >.> or can you?!
-
Efflixi... To be exact, you\'re a teenage maximalist. To be short, its when you want to change the world, become somebody important. Unfortunately those kind of thoughts tend to end, when you start your personal life.
-
Efflixi: You are relatively typical, seriously.
Moi, I am different by virture of being \"Pro-establishment\". Or at least, I am the anti-Anti. Death to Rebellion for the sake of vanity!
My art style and life reflect one thing, I have no idea what I want to do with my life, and my art is a brew of different genres, like me: half this, half that, half everything. I\'m socially inept, interested in politics (moderate right) and my friends are a gamer, a jewish girl, a bi-sexual, a lesbian japanomaniac, and a hyperactive chinese kid. I\'m on good terms with all teachers. I despise all smokers of pot, I feel sorry for users of addictive substances, I\'m obsessed with vocal trance, I flicked-off a kid in driver\'s ed class when he laughed lightly at a burned corpse being removed from a car. \"Gay people are GAY.\" convinces me that the average teen is not capable of voting. I failed certain questions on my temp test because I mistakenly believed that offenders would be punished as strongly as they ought to be. People my age are dangerously and annoyingly vain & immature. *sighs*
Authority is a tool. Life is irony.
The old same is the new different.
People laugh at things outside the norm. Don\'t tell them anything and you are boring and ignored. ;)
Those statements govern my life.
Life is good. I have many priveledges and opportunities denied by circumstances to others. My school is bloody rich, but public. Small business receives priority in my town. I have several honors classes, but retain my laid-back attitude. People don\'t bother me, most are pretty nice or I haven\'t caused anything to arouse trouble-making attitudes against me. I have broadband.
You can only piss me off once, after which you are inferior and not worth consideration. It sounds ignorant, but it prevents a hell of a lot of anger on my part.
There are a lot of asians and goths here, and when you combine them, interesting & cool fashion occurs.
Edit: W00t!1 \" Posts: 1337 \" :P

god you scared me... sounds like my 2nd period... whew but the japanomaniac is a bi-sexual girl, no lesbian and i dont think theres a jew, unless you count me, cause i weigh only 115lbs(shut up!) they call me a depressed jew in denile... but i am no jew and i certainly am not depressed damn you!

Iiintereshtink Munkith. intereshtink indeed.
My only friend is a conniving arsonist waiting to happen, so desperate he sends naked pictures of himself to fat little girls.

Actually theres the difference of me and others. Im not trying to change the world but I will fight for what I belive in. And actually I think I\'m kinda crazy >.> Though I dont belive in thinks like the whole 9/11 pentegon missle I do think about other conspiracies. I I always think the media has an evil plan behind everything it does, kinda why I don\'t watch TV. Well, cept adult swim (anime and ATHF).
Look, everyone is different from eachother more than you may think. Belive it or not I am a VERY quiet person. Im more of a listener then a talker, though I do tend to talk a lot on AIM and stuff. Just not in person. Well what I\'m getting to is that theres much more going on about a person than anyone but the person can see. Now, not many people know what I think about, I may not want to ever let anyone know exactly what goes on inside my brain till I figure out myself :P
What I will tell you though is that Im not interested in life,death or birth. Or anything supernatural. I think of things like why people do actually do the things they do. Not like speak, smoke, or kiss. But somthing that you cant\'t really see. Its hard to explain. Im kinda trying to figure out how a persons mind can be programed by the media if you want to put it that way.
Now, I may be completly nuts cuz I was dropped as a child or I may be getting into somthing almost too hard for me to understand. But whatever it is. Im not \"typical\" now, please stop calling me that. It really makes me, not angry.....more sad.
Edit: Monketh, I know what you mean. Im surrounded by ideots myself who say things like:
\"Ara, you\'re gay.\"
When I say somthing deep or mature. (yes, these would be 2 of my friends) And when I rspond with somthing like. Calling somone gay shouldn\'t be a diss in any way. It should be like calling a guy a guy.
And of cousrseI get this response back:
\"Stop being gay.\"
So I decide to shutup by then and not let others around me look like ideots. There nice guys, just media slaves.
Or the people that laugh at the Tsunamis. Wow uyou just know you should have those guys there instead of those poor innocent people.
And your postcount is very L33t may I add :)
-
Every person is unique in some way, that\'s just how it is... Regularity doesn\'t necesarly mean that you are exactly like the other people, it may also mean that you share some details of personality with most of the people. I hope it won\'t be too surprising, but I actually think that I have a rare type of personality, because I\'ve never met a single person who would just enjoy sitting on the balcony and staring at the night skies. 0.o Maybe you are right about media and stuff, I\'m not trying to say that what you do is unreasonable. It\'s just that my stubborn nature has a tendency to think about things, form an opinion based on arguments and then stick to it until proven wrong by at least a debate... ;) And I happen to have an opinion about media formed...
I used to think of supernatural things, but mostly ended up either with a scientific answer or an answer created by my imagination (and its pretty wild o.0).
P.S. It is L33t... Sweet... I\'m a conqueror... yay
-
I like sitting on balconys on warm nights and listening to calmer music not metal and stuff. Like Rush or Pink Floyd.
-
HA! I have you both beat! I like to sit on my horse bareback in the middle of a cold winter night watching the stars twinkle in all their glory as the full moon turns the snow a sparkling blue. I like to have nightmares, the scarier the better. Stay away from me if you see me Dreamwalking (dreaming+sleepwalking, a rare REM disorder) as you may lose an arm, the poor creatures don\'t stand a chance. I can walk in the dark without feeling fear, and I thought the TV show \'Fear\' was the funniest thing on TV. (Is that still on?) I think CSI was made for dumb people (Hey, lets drain the gas from this truck and weigh it so we can find the big, shiny, easily seen diamond plate box replacing half the gas tank and solve this crime. YEY!) I think the government is corrupt only because the people are gullible and stupid (this will never change). The thing that hurts and angers me most is pretty women dieing. So sue me. School was so long ago (ten years) that I can hardly remember it anymore. I was the smallest kid in class, the teachers liked me and the bullies feared me. (I took no crap, still don\'t). I was told by one teacher that I should have hit this one bully harder (he weighed in at at least 300 lbs) Someday I wish to bike across Ireland. Red hair is 8o. I am happy with who I am, but could be happier. \'The Nightmare Before Cristmass\' is one of my favorite movies and I still watch \'The Neverending Story\' once in a while. I am the oddest person I know.
-
*stares at U.T.M.*
weirdo :P J/k
But whoa, 300 pounds is big ... did the guy take steriods or was he just fat ?

First \'pot\' is not an addictive substance. The products that it is mixed with in order to be consumed is...(scientifically proven).
Or it is the euphoric feeling that people become addicted to.
THC is also used in a lot of medicines and is undergoing research as a form of medicine which can be used by people who suffer from MS (Multiple Sclerosis), as well as eleviating the pain of Cancers and other physical problems.
It has also been used throughout history as a multiple use item i.e. rope, clothes. And it is on the increase as a manufacturers choice of fibre.
Apart from that I am with you on the addictive substances.
If people dont bother you and you have a laid back attitude how can pot smokers despise you?
Bit of a contradiction of terms there Monketh!
@U.T.M
so whats the deal with red hair?
-
im cranky anti social i hate all political parts due to there inept abaility to come up with something that sticks for more then a week and dosent have to be inlove with the usa to run our country....

lol under the moon thats funny. i always walk the streets at night. cold wind that blows leaves around on the ground and dead silent air. beautifull ? damn scarey and beautifull :P. oh playing \"welcome to ravenholm\" level on hl2 at night seems to scare me alot hehehe.
Efflixi Aduro i know what your sayen, dont worry mate. I agree with you
-
Under the moon, you\'re not that wierd. I like to go sledding with no coat(or even a shirt sometimes). <<; >>;. And I wrestle dogs. In the snow.
And when I was a kid I could only sleep if it was very dark. like. no light. I would take blankets and cover windows and stuff so no light could get in.

Sleep is for squares.

Yes Snow, I am a weirdo :D. I wanted to be Gonzo from the Muppets as a child. A: The bully was a head and a half taller than I, a year older, but was all fat and no brain. He thought he could throw he weight around, and I begged to differ. It\'s funny to hear that you made a 300 lb bully cry. Especially when you only have a third his bulk.
Bardialus, red hair, wow, where do I begin? First off, I guess I have an Irish/ Russian redhead fixation. Allways have, allways will. Can you blame me?
I also find haunted houses (the \'fun house\' type, not the real ones, but they\'re funny too ;)) hilarious. Three of my brothers and I once went to one. The people before us, two girls and two guys, were screaming and yelling in fear. We went in an found ourselves in a radiation dump with broken barrels. As we passed a small grate in the wall, a guy screamed from behind the wall (in a scary way). All four of us burst out laughing. While my brothers where laughing, I crept arround the next corner and spotted another grate. So, ever so quietly, I hid under the grate until I heard a small shuffle. I jumped up and let out the most blood curdling scream/growl I could manage and pounded furiously on the grate. I heard a satisfying thump on the other side of someone falling, and laughed until my sides hurt. Suffice to say, the rest of the grates on the tour were silent and empty. :D

Another one?! I wanted to be gonzo too..I mean most kids I knew did, everyone wants to the weird one.
And no I cant blame you, but being a member of the redheads of the world I think its funny we draw attention by just having a different hair colour!!! LMAO to those who think we should be a \'normal\' hair colour.

If people dont bother you and you have a laid back attitude how can pot smokers despise you?
Bit of a contradiction of terms there Monketh!
Sorry, misinterpreted there. I did mean to imply that pot isn\'t very addictive. I hate them anyway. I\'m sure you\'ve seen someone high on pot? I can\'t stand every single pothead I\'ve seen. They\'re annoying as hell, but that might just be the ones I know or the ones of my generation. Especially when you have to sit next to one who\'s older than you and still can\'t understand basic algebra. He also drove while both high and drunk...
I understand that hemp can be used for many things.
In fact, it\'s a lot more efficient for things like paper. If there weren\'t people disguising marijuana as hemp....
I have a neo-hippie uncle who has trouble keeping jobs. Used to sell the stuff until his store burnt down \'cuz he left the Christmas lights on and afterword we learned that he didn\'t have any insurance whatsoever. He\'s done other fiscally stupid things before.

They\'re annoying as hell, but that might just be the ones I know or the ones of my generation. Especially when you have to sit next to one who\'s older than you and still can\'t understand basic algebra. He also drove while both high and drunk...
I understand that hemp can be used for many things.
In fact, it\'s a lot more efficient for things like paper. If there weren\'t people disguising marijuana as hemp....
I have a neo-hippie uncle who has trouble keeping jobs. Used to sell the stuff until his store burnt down \'cuz he left the Christmas lights on and afterword we learned that he didn\'t have any insurance whatsoever. He\'s done other fiscally stupid things before.
Ok \'POT\' is not addictive at all. the chemicals it is made up of THC (tetrahydracannabinol) has no addictive properties at all.
By hating all pot smokers that means you hate the following:
George Washington, Bill Clinton, Jack Nicholson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Winston Churchill, Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Bloomberg (NY mayor), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, John F Kennedy, Steven King, Thomas Jefferson, Oliver Stone, Wesley Snipes....And to nail that whole \'basic understanding of Algebra\':.........
Richard Feynman (Nobel Prize Laureate physicist, founder of quantum electrodynamics).
I could keep listing here, but I think I have made my point about \'pot\' to the fullest.
Oh and Dali also \'toked the weed\' Hmm understandable now isnt it?
Really you should understand things a little better before making unsupported comments about them Monketh.
Im sorry if I have \'burst your bubble\' but thats the way of the world. There are more famous and high calibre people that smoke pot and still provide the world with ideas that change the world than you realise...You hate all of them too?
I dont think its pot you hate, I think its those who allow pot to take over their lives that you hate.

Probably. I\'ve had a very poor experience with all the potheads I know, so I base views on personal experience.
Perhaps I should chalk those users I know up to teenage stupidity. Of course, for something to takeover a life it has to have the ability to do so in the first place. Keeping it illegal is not something I will oppose.

How many times do you need people to spell it out to you? Pot is not addictive in any form of the substance.
Many things can take over someones life without it being detrimental, and from the amount of posts you\'ve put on this forum I can guess what\'s taking over yours! (Not that this is a bad thing ;) )
I would chalk it down simply to teenage stupidity too, or we\'d have to assume na?vety on your behalf. Maybe the only stoners you know are of a certain mindset, or they have decided that that is all they want to do with their life...
It\'s not the pot which is to blame, if it wasn\'t pot maybe it\'d be alcohol, or something worse.
All of the people I have known who have smoked pot are the friendliest, most creative people I have ever met. This is not to say that they are creative because they smoke pot, it just seems to awaken something in them which helps them comprehend things in ways that people who have never smoked the stuff will never understand.

Ouch.. If you feel you need to talk to someone I\'m willing to listen, may not be able to help much but atleast I can listen.

Rose, I had such, such, downtimes when I was around your age, but please don\'t think I\'m trying to patronise you when I say that. Please read this it helped to change my life... I hope it helps you too:
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep and you weep alone,
For sad old earth must borrow it\'s mirth,
But has trouble enough of it\'s own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, and it\'s lost on the air,
The echoes are bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they will turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure.
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink lifes gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and you give, and it helps you to live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure for a large and Lordly train,
But one by one, we must all file on,
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
I hope when you read this you realise that you will never be alone... All you have to do is post...
We have a saying here in England, \'Keep your chin up\'...

Very few people do not go thru their own personal Hell during there lives many of us were unfortunate to have to go thru it when we were young and yet fortunate enough that we were forged into greater and more powerful beings.
If any one here is haveing a problem and feels the need to talk to someone or needs a shoulder to cry on just let me know.
And don\'t worry about it bothering me I\'m used to being strong for others by now.
