Too much effort, its not that funny enough. Maybe if you could provide me with a witty retort and I will.

I think you're a troll. Or really really really stupid and naive

ruleofbookz, vegetationisem is letting you down

That is a diabolical piece of misinformation, i know you live in an ivory tower with your unicorns so you can be forgiven for not having a grip on reality.

Hey all, i got a couple things to say.
Firstly, Zaraq, Toots, you guys are hilarious. And sweaty gremlins? Best name i ever heard in my life.
Secondly, after reading this article and your posts on it, i am amazed some people here have concluded he is racist! Where is the proof? as you guys have said, theres a number of perfectly reasonable reasons why he could refuse the fare. Maybe he had to take a **** in his car seat right then and didn't want the indigenous man to be offended by the smell. Ridiculous? Maybe, but its an equally valid reason for refusing.
In Australia we have a system, maybe some of you here haven't heard of it. It's called: innocent until proven guilty, and without any proof, i find it hard to say that cab driver is a racist pig.
Also, side note, i reckon pot is harmful to you. It is perscribed in some medical conditions, but i have seen a couple people that smoke a lot of pot, and it ain't pretty. Guy i used to know smoked a **** load when he was younger, not surprising since it was the 60s back then...but he tried to convince me noah's ark held the dinosaurs on it. So you tell me if that **** messed with his brain or not.

Oh no LordKronos! Sand will come shooting out of cheroba's bum when he reads that, and there aren't enough tampons and boyscouts in Australia to stop the flow.

Dear LordKronos, I implore you delete your post and save yourself the grief of insult and slander.

Sweatygrmelins, bless you, bless you sir for your warning!
But i think i'll leave it as it is I'll have to endure the slander and insult and anally-expelled sand like a man!

What the **** am I reading?

It boggles my mind how uneducated the average Australian is when it comes to marijuana. You hear the same thing every time: "I know a couple of guys who smoke a lot of pot, they're messed up" etc. They're messed up because they're messed up. There are literally tens of millions of people around the world who use marijuana recreationally, with very little to any negative impact on their lives. Citing some anecdotal experience with a couple of guys for which there are undoubtably many other variables that come into play, socially and psychologically, that have led to and keep them in whatever circumstances it is you look down upon, and saying that that is indicative of the average marijuana smoker, is nothing more than an ignorant generalisation of such epic proportions that you should punch yourself in the face.

If you knew anything about marijuana, you'd know about the cannabinoids THC and CBC. Too much THC and not enough CBD equals a bad time for psychological health. The problem, is that most of the stuff you buy on the street is high in THC and low in CBD. This is a direct result of it's prohibition, with it's distribution left largely to criminal organisations who don't give a **** about anything but pushing the product.

The cannabinoid CBD is actually an antipsychotic, antidepressant and analgesic, and they're only now looking into it's applications for treating schizophrenia and other mental illnesses, as well as pain relief - how's that for ironic? The stuff they grow commercially and sell in dispensaries, is generally high in CBD. In countries and US states with a liberal stance on the drug, and where you have a much higher rate of marijuana use, there is no correlation shown with an increase in mental health issues. You know what you do see instead? Lower rates of hard drug use, lower rates of violent crime, vastly lower rates of incarceration - basically a social effect that is contrary to what is supposed to happen, given the misinformation propagated by those who have a vested interest in seeing it's continued prohibition ie. government, big pharma, and those who are impressionable enough to still have their minds muddied by the residual effect of propaganda and abhorrent laws pushed over half a century ago.

You know the really sad part? Despite the fact that it's now been decriminalised in Washington State and Colorado, with many more US states sure to follow over the coming year or so - barring the feds going **** and trying to mess with the states - Australia will probably not catch on for another ten years or more, because we're that **** backwards, and this country so populated with uneducated cretins spouting the same kind of sentiments that you have, that we're a decade behind the US, which itself is a decade behind half of Europe when it comes to social reforms and progress. None of you would have even seen it reported in the Murdoch controlled media about the decriminalisation in states in the US, and it's **** massive news.

As for the Noah's Ark guy from the 60s, I wouldn't even know where to begin in explaining how **** retarded it is to come to the conclusion that marijuana was the sole (or even a contributing) factor in his ailing mental health, given the time period.

There is this guy I know of, who plays BF3 and is on GameArena arguing with everyone, every day...

your talking about that panda guy rite

Cherocha, I know a guy who owns two chemists and he reckons Marijuana should stay illegal because alot of people who use it, do so to experience something unique. When they use it to much, it becomes less 'unique' so they take other **** which is far far far worse. He does agree that Marijuana itself is ok, but it leads to the serious **** far to often.

Call him an uneducated bogan or whatever, go on. His car is worth more than everything you have and he doesnt even bother to wash it.

I know a guy who owns two gun shops and he reckons guns are great and they should roll back the strict gun controls we have in Aust so more people will buy,,, sorry i mean enjoy owning,,, guns

He isnt an uneducated bogan but he owns a pimpmobile that costs more then this planet so he obviously isn't interested in money, or swayed by money because of his simple and humble lifestyle

I know a guy who owns one gun shop and he thinks all of his ammo and firearms should be used to shoot you in the head.

i told you it would happen, but no one listens to me

for someone who supposedly smokes herb he is one of the most hysterical and vitriolic people on the forum, he even ruined my nothardcore

i miss my nothardcore, give him back to me

i know someone who isn't getting any carrots tonight!

Focus your mind, and you can hear his cries echoing across the lands. Go Gremlins, go and find your Nothardcore, it is your Destiny Young Gremlin.

Its a strange thing this Australia because our mainstreem political commentators and conservatives are completely backward but everyday life pretty much shows you that your neighbour is happy to share a bong with you and a SWAT team will never ram raid a suburban house for just weed unless the occupants were hardened criminals. Even when I was doing security at the local pubs guys use to come up and ask me if they could have a joint in the carpark and I always said it was cool with me also the managers/staff never cared either but according the mainstreem we should be expecting police helicopters.

i will find my nothardcore, i'm gonna search his profile and see where he posts



fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Checheroba, i am not trying to convince anyone on here of my views on marijuana, and my view that it is a contributing factor in the development of mental health disorders is not disproved. Also, it is easily possible that marijuana was a contributing factor in my mate's devolpment of a mental health disorder, and while you find that hard to believe i really dont give a **** about.
I am not basing this opinion over propoganda, but rather over observation.
Sounds to me that you're a little butthurt, chech.

"Marijuana is a gateway drug"

Never proven. Your highly educated chemist friend who is definitely not an uneducated bogan is an ill-informed idiot.

LordKronos no disrespect to you as its your first day and you are obviously a GA general vet but,,, actually no thats all i wanted to say

he probably knows it's not proven, they talk about it when you do psych but not in a flat earth way

You spent more time arguing and getting butthurt in one Hitman related thread than I have in several months on this site.


I smoke ganja probably a couple of times a year. I'm playing devil's advocate because **** shouldn't go unanswered, and stupidity is contagious.

Your novelty wore off after the hundredth post, and now all you've got is passive aggressive barbs with the occasional expletitive filled rant that's meant to be humourous, but just comes off as puerile and dumb. Nothing of value was lost when you stopped posting for a while.

Sweatygremlins, don't you listen to checherocha. I find your posts not only measured and thoughtful, but also humorous and informative. Keep up the good work.

i think cheroba left, phew

now it's time for the boys to clean up

I hope so, i was thinking he'd give me an earful about how all white people are racist, but i think i dodged a bullet there. Maybe he's gone to smoke some ganja.

lol sarcasm the spice of choice for the troll about town.

I took the time to type out a detailed response to your post, because drawing conclusions solely from anecdotal experience, rather than looking at the bigger picture and all the variables at play, isn't very smart.

An example of this, would be that despite the plethora of psychedelic and mind-altering drugs that your friend likely took - drugs which have actually been shown to be causative factors in the development of psychosis and other mental illnesses - you attribute his state to marijuana.

I'm just saying, it's not like you wouldn't benefit from actually educating yourself on the subject before talking about it. Speculation is ok, but you do it at the risk of coming across as having a pretty naive and sheltered world view, particularly when your knowledge on the subject is so sparse.


This isn't high school. If you aren't capable of having an intelligent discourse on the subject, let me know so I'm not wasting time on a downie.

and it makes your ***** look small. real small.

all you think about is pee pee toots

Cherocha, for a moment their I thought this guy was the only living being on this planet who could be smarter than you. But once again, no one is worthy enough to have an intelligent debate with you. No one.

Really.

If only this fella were still alive, you could have an equal.

there*

Your probably serious.

I dont want to come out of another **** thread with signs of radiation sickness.

You're probably trying too hard.

13/13/13 sent Beiltanman 100yard downie excitement run.

when the intelligent debate is: "i freak out on pot = therefore everyone freaks out on pot" (or to be precise he has a "friend" cough cough that freaks out on pot) then the debate is off to a pretty unintelligent start

Cherocha: wants to have "an intelligent discourse on the subject", and in the very next sentence calls the other person a downie.

i wanted to bang your mum but in the next post im banging your sister.

Isn't it about time you went back to centrelink toots?

i don't freak out on carrots = therefore everyone does not freak out on carrots

that a joke because you read my post and wrote it down? its like telling a magician his own trick and waiting for him to clap.

keep trying like i am with yo sister oh zing my previous post came.

best part of lord of the rings was when gandalf returned as gandalf the white and his white power!

Well gandalf the white's power did help them defend the white city. Though the best part of lord of the rings was when gollum bit off frodo's finger.

I sometimes watch Cherocha latch onto the throat of someone... Right or wrong... And attempt to maul them, and I read as they reply. It's always a yuk, sure, and everyone has a laugh.

But the part that always hurts me is Rabbits coming in from the side lines, hip-tackling whomever Chero is talking with, utterly out of context, rarely keeping his comments related or on topic. I sometimes picture him looking up at Cheroca from the mud, pushing the victim down and, with big, wide, hopeful eyes, praying that he'll be given a moment of eye contact... And in that brief, glimmering moment, he'll see the love he has always hoped would be reflected in them.

A single tear always falls from my eyes.

Squid, i didn't know you cared =)

I just hate to see the little guy get his heart crushed like that. It wouldn't be so bad if he weren't so damned cute!

... It's not gay for me to say that, because we're talking about gateway drugs. I.. *Is tackled by Rabbits and mauled*
