LOL

This is starting to sound like the end of a relationship that lasted too long. You're frustrated enough to really want the arguing to continue, but you're so sick of the other person that you can't even stand to argue with them anymore. I'm not saying that I'm sick of you guys, just that myself, Amby and MF'er probably need to accept that we don't fit in and stop being bitter about it. While it's true we may have grown apart from the group, it's self-evident that you guys have all grown a tremendous closeness (even with Herman, you twink-poaching pricks), and we should be mature enough to be glad for the rest of you.
 
Alright well I think i will chime in again....probably making a mistake but what the hell.

I am not and will not apologize for my feelings toward someone...if I don't like someone, I shouldn't have to explain myself. I am pretty sure that is one of those great things about this world and this country. I can formulate my own opinions and thoughts, that may or may not be popular, either way those are MY thoughts and opinions. For you guys around here to DEMAND a why...now that is insane. I think a few here have echoed that thought.

It is not going to bother me in the slightest if I am "unpopular" around here and of course I am not going to lose any sleep over it. Whether people here want to admit it or not I was ganged up on almost immediately...not that it really matters. It made me laugh...it is exactly what I thought would happen. The reason is what shocked me...I am sorry but that picture was fucking hilarious. For people that don't want to grow up...they sure can't take a joke.

Peter and M0nkey put things much said all there is to say, so there is no reason bring all that back up but I will say one thing. People on this board need to be careful because for a place that hate SBR so much and banded together due to it, this board is on a fast track to the same place. Maybe not so much in the sense that people here are biggots or racist but alienating posters sesne. Just something to think about...
 
RS, serious question for you! No ill feelings toward you just curiosity bout it from what I have experienced and seen.

About being grown up will you be smoking pot every day for the rest of your life? Look it has been a long, long time but inhaled quite a bit at one time and don't know how people can function properly by waking up to a joint everyday.

Friend of mine would wake up to a jay and Dew every morning. It all seems fine and got through work okay but after a few years things were falling apart. Had to stop the smoke except maybe recreational time off work.

Maybe I don't have enough experience with it to smoke pot and be part of the so called "society" we live in but IMO you can't really be grown up and continuously smoking pot all the time. I feel like I create my foolishness world without "help from a friend?" Your a very educated guy RS but can your mind really be in the real world under the influence?
 
That's a good question, MrMonkey. I think the answer lies in examining another similar drug, sanctioned by society, called alcohol? How many raging alcoholics do you know that are still functioning, productive members of society? For me, the answer is 'too many to count.' My attorney generally spends the remainder of the workday after lunch with an open beer on his desk and if I have an appt. with him after 3PM generally I can count on him being a six-pack deep, provided he's not expected in court. This has no bearing on my opinion of his professional capacity or ability to interact with the world as an adult, as he's always done a stellar job of accomplishing whatever task I set before him regardless of how many beers he's had that day.

I see marijuana and its habitual/daily use occupying much the same place in the world. Especially growing up here, in the marijuana capital of the world, it's simply a way of life that as some people will go through life with a dependency on alcohol, others will do the same with pot. That doesn't make them children or unfit to walk the streets, it just means that it's their way of coping with the iniquities and disappointments which are part of daily human existence. It has become such a tolerable part of the culture here that most people will go to job interviews while stoned so their prospective employer can gauge whether or not their level of coherence while stoned is compatible with the job itself.

I suppose like anything, it really has to be evaluated on a person-by-person basis. In short though, I don't find being high on pot to be mutually exclusive with a clear head and the ability to "make it" in the real world. It all depends on your baseline mental state and tolerance for the substance in question, really. The culture you live in also has a great deal to do with it. Perhaps in other parts of the country there is no tolerance for people who may not be operating at 100%, but out here the most common reaction to an obviously stoned individual is to vicariously enjoy their good mood and show some respect for the fact that they're having a good time.
 
RS well done on your thoughts, just IMO alcohol damages you more physically while pot damages your brain. I'm glad in your neck of the woods for your sake being high is more of the norm than not to get by with your daily activities.

Probably don't know what studies show for sure, just thinking of dying alcoholics mentally functioning properly but having no liver left? Not enough smoke for lung cancer but pot heads mind slowly drifting away in their closing hours?
 
I just read this thread. I hadn’t read it before because I didn’t know who this Kitten person was so it was of no interest to me. I saw the pic in question in Mr.X’s avatar the other day and I seriously thought it was Mrs.X in serious Halloween mode.

After reading this thread and learning that the person was not Mrs.X I was shocked at the resemblance. Not that Mrs.X looks like a crackwhore but come on look at the eyes.

As for Amby not liking Mrs.X and not wanting or even having a reason it happens. I can understand Mrs.X curiosity in wanting to know why though. When someone doesn’t like you and you haven’t gone out of your way to give them a reason it does make you wonder what you did or at least what about you they don’t like.

Even in such a intimate group as we have here there are bound to be personalities that just don’t mesh. The cool part about this particular group of people though is even with such diversity there seems to be a common bond that brings us all together. I wish I knew what that bond was though. Pretty sure it’s not Bread’s balls but I could be wrong.



PS. Mrs.X though I found the picture halarious it doesn't mean I think you are a Meth Head.

PSS. Amby, though I don't always get you or your negative straight forward vibe I don't personally dislike ya, just don't really know ya.

PSSS. Bread this does not justify you posting more pics of your balls.

MrMonkey, I can't speak to any studies about the long-term effects of pot smoke because I don't think the existing research draws enough uniform conclusions to be widely accepted, and I also think that those studies don't take into account people that have lived in places where being habitually stoned is tolerable in public. I can speak from experience that most older potheads seem to retain their mental faculties, although their emotional ones are another story. Most long-term potheads can be crippled with sadness and other "negative" emotions if they suddenly try to scale back later in life, at least in my experience. But just as I wouldn't suggest that someone who had gone through their life with the aid of doctor-prescribed psychotropic medications suddenly quit taking it in their golden years, neither do I think it's reasonable to expect anyone to quit a lifelong habit without becoming at least a slightly different person as a result. Some people might call it brain damage, others might say emotional apathy, I just think it's an organic response to a change in a long-term constant.

Just as a river which is diverted to a new stream bed will be much more turbulent until it overcomes its new obstacles, so is the human mind susceptible to changes in course. Is it more acceptable to go through life sober and end up jaded or go through life stoned and end up overly simple? Each person has to judge that for themselves.
 
Nice talking to you RS. I guess few cases I have experienced were a few drunks working their jobs superbly without a hitch and a few pot guys not able to continue performing their tasks. Bias sample size for me I guess.

Just glad we were able to have this discussion without either of us going monkeyfocker on each other! :peace:

Wally, I did think it kind of looked like me. I wasn't offended, but curious, because it seemed kind of mean spirited. I didn't ask for an apology, It was a paragraph trying to uncover Amby's motives since he wouldn't respond to me.
 
My response to the picture Amby posted had everything to do with the jabs he was making prior to this thread. We all get it a hundred times over. Amby doesn't like Mrs. X. Of course he is entitled to feel this way because this is the LOL internet.

So naturally, it's perfectly normal to post crack/meth whore pictures who resemble someone you dislike and not expect to be questioned regarding the motivation for doing so.
