and you really shouldn't think that the irresponsible ones out of the bunch can be socially engineered into becoming responsible.

Only part I disagree with. The way a person acts, thinks, believes, etc. are very moldable things, but one shouldn't expect free money to do that.

I find it odd that people are screened for drugs but are never screened for things like being an alcoholic and beating their wives or just being an all around shithead. As long as you don't smoke weed you're a-okay with society!

Agreed. I think there should be some kind of psych care/monitoring system to prevent people from growing up to develop tendencies that are detrimental to themselves and those around them. It would be a better use of tax dollars than trying to prevent some stoners from having a toke.

None of you have an '84 Pontiac Dream?

The only proper way to answer this in the affirmative is "I have a Dream!"

I don't believe that people are "moldable"; however, people can be influenced and I believe that is what you were getting at. I wanted to make this distinction because "molding" would insinuate that people's actions can be determined by some other being. "Influence", on the other hand, is more reflective of human nature. That is to say that the actions of outside parties can have an effect on an individual's choice of actions, but the action is still solely decided by the individual. The actions of a philanthropist may inspire the individual to go out and do better for himself. However, that inspiration does not necessarily dictate that the individual will, in fact, go out and do better for himself.

if every government or organization stopped spending money on welfare people, africa and the middle east, and just let all of them die, the world would be a much better place. we are not responsible for any of them; they are just a waste of already scarce resources on this planet.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

They wouldn't just die. They would face a choice; life or death.

Bingo. The involvement to "help" these people you list is actually to hurt them and hold them back. Can't let them rise up and challenge for resources! This is, of course, backwards thinking.

I hope you got the reference, for if you did, I shall smoke a blunt with you some day. If you're a pussy, beer's on me. If you're a further pussy, I'll make you dinner and shit.

I've never skied cross-country style, only downhill. It's such a great time.

Someone from the UMaine campus newspaper came yesterday to take some high-quality shots of me and a couple friends juggling.
