What don't you "get"?

People shouldn't put down marijuana, it's actually a very good aid to people undergoing chemotherapy for quelling the upset stomach/vomiting that actually goes along with many radioactive treatments. People also don't smoke pot to be cool. Hate it as much as you want, but it IS a natural drug, like peyote. More people die each year from alcohol overindulgence than
smoking too much pot. It's my opinion that marijuana & liquor be treated equally, with the same penalties, restrictions, & taxes.

I also don't get where the hell you find "valley girls" in Michigan! lol

I agree that its pretty immature to consider pot more taboo than alcohol, although I do prefer the latter to the former (I get too much like Jeff Spicoli for my own liking when doing the former ;)).

The only thing I don't get is when people smoke pot several times a week (or every day). I've seen it turn people into zombies...then again, alcohol every night of the week isn't too great for you either, although you can have one beer or one glass of wine and not turn stupid.

Hehehehehehe, dude, I WAS Spicoli in highschool! :lol:
Pot, just like alcohol can be abused the same way. I can't think of any
instance where non-treated pot made someone go nuts, beat their wife/gf, shoot the dog, or whatever violent act you choose. I've never heard of anyone smoking themslves to death, or o.d.'ing on THC. Worst case pot scenario: waking up naked on the couch, surrounded by an empty box of Twinkies, an empty bag of Doritos, and a clean empty jar of peanut butter.
Oh, and a REALLY bad stomach ache!:puke:
Do too much alcohol, or mix alcohol with medications, and you WON'T wake up at all. Ask John Bonham, or Bon Scott...

I was only talking about recreational use of Marijuana.
 
I used to smoke every day, without fail, between the ages of 17 and 22 and now its only a handful of times a year.
The singer in my band probably hasn't gone for more than 2 days without smoking pot in the 10 years i've known him....it doesn't effect him at all....only effects him when he doesn't have it :lol:
Alcohol is worse i'd have to say.

When both are abused, alcohol is far worse.


What I don't get?

Buying a nice car, like a BMW, then blinging it out. :err:
 
I just don't do either. The most alchohol I consume might be wine with dinner.

I simply don't see the point in either when there are tons of other things you could do/drink.

As far as thinking it makes you more calm, why not just learn to control yourself instead of taking the quick way out.

I don't get why people get mad when they park their car next to baseball diamond and a ball smashes the windsheild. You should've seen that coming. Idiots.

Because they just have to have the best parking spot. They HAVE to be the first one to leave, becuase the whole world rides on their shoulders.
 
I don't get why in the first Symphony X special edition CD entitled "Symphony X" that the booklet says Rapture of Pain and not Rapture or Pain. I think someone should have caught such a large error like that.

So, if you have the first SX cd in special edition, look in the booklet under the Rapture or Pain lyrics and it says Rapture of Pain as the title of the song.

I feel so silly. I've had the album since 1997 and I've always thought it was called Rapture Of Pain.:loco: I don't read the lyrics that often to the debut...
 
I don't get why on the Damnation Game's cd cover has Orginally released in 1995 and in the book it says Originally Released in 1997 on the re-releases.

I don't understand why you get a fine for parking in a handicapped spot, but there is no punishment for using the handicap restroom. The handicapped need the restroom more than the parking spot.

a-fucking-men!!

Good point

Hypothetical situation: I've just eaten too much bad Taco Bell, and I feel that a volcano is beginning to erupt in my colon. I pull into the nearest Wal-Mart or grocery store and run (gingerly) to the bathroom. All the stalls are occupied EXCEPT the handicap stall. Am I a bad person for using the last remaining stall, instead of crapping myself? Am I going to hell for this?

No, i think the point was people need to shit more than they need to park closely. The difference though i think is that with stalls, it's pointing out that it is handicapped accessable, not that it is reserved only for the handicapped. Parking spaces are reserved only for handicapped.

I don't understand people who get offended by the interweb. it makes me laugh.

... yes ... :lol:

I dont GET.. why there are special parking spaces reserved for handicapped people, but, not for heavily pregnant women.. do you know how bloody hard it is to waddle from your car all the way into the shopping centre and back.. especially if you gotta carry groceries or something.. when you're about to pop a kid?? I think they should issue special handicap passes for preggo's and new mothers! (though that being said, i dunno about anywhere else but here they do have a couple of spaces for people with prams - when I was pregnant in japan though, there was none of that and it was painful)
