*double-posting because I can* Why does every conversation in this thread seem to devolve into ones about drugs, sex, 'n' rock 'n' roll?

Does it really devolve? Or is it actually evolving the thread..?
Differs for every person. :twisted:

Now go have a headache thanks to me!

Mr. Black wrote:Yeah. But I'm still going to ignore your advice, being me. :D I don't treat drugs lightly, but I am pretty solid about legalization; if you don't legalize, more people will die because of 'experimenting' with badly-made drugs. If you legalize, legit businesses will most likely take over the growing and making of 'em, raising the quality level.


And after the legalization, more studies on the health effects of these drugs will pop up. With time, the health paranoid population will get concerned enough to ask people to stop doing meth in closed spaces. After some years, campaigns will most likely tear down the consumer base to must drugs (except in the teen age consumers, because they are stupid) and after ten years, when you smoke a little weed hearing Bob Marley, people will look at you like you are a fucking leper. Just as it was before legalization. But no one wants to split a joint with you now. Except teenagers. And they are stupid.

I don't think that the "War on Drugs" is dumb. They are just doing it wrong.

That's a good point. And you're probably right. But at least there'll be that short golden age. And anyway, I'm already stared at like a fucking leper.

Hey! I am a teenager. And I'm not stupid. I'm all clean! Except for the Bob Marley thing. I listen to Bob Marley. But that's something the other teenagers actually DON'T do.

Oh no! Your exceptional scenario has ruined my nefarious plan to defame teenagers. :)

Just kiddin' Caesar. I think you're awesome, and I think we both know that teens are stupid. Well, at least I know it. And who is best suited to know about teens other than teens?

But fear not. It will be a golden age for taxation. :wink:

What the... Why do you type my name wrong, and even 'correct' me in my name at the {quote="cAEsar"} Part?! (Not that I'm really angry, just.. dissapointed.)

It's written AE, thank you very much.

And yes, I might be an exceptional teenager. An outsider. Very true. So.. Teenagers are stupid unless they are me. If they are me, they're outsiders.

What you say? *edit edit edit* I see no error. You must have read it wrong.
But would it be such a unholy mistake? I mean, if I made that error? Swapping fingers, no preview and fast typing. That happens. Right, CAEsar?

This reminds me of when I wrote Nietszche instead of Nietzsche. Although no one noticed. Now that disappointed me. :cry:

P.S. If not mistaken, I could also use the "dude, I'm forgein" excuse and ask apologies for "my bad english". But I prefer to be thrown down a cliff than that.

It was the fact that you quoted me, and still actually corrected the name that had then been put there, correctly, which irritated me.

But it wasn't as worse as someone that once corrected me on my own name in a store, even when I kept telling them how to write it.

Lol.

No, I write the quote code off and usually copy/paste the citation - so there was no correct name before, it was born out all wrong alredy. And this is to me much more normal and usual than actually clicking the "quote" button. So I'm more prone to writing off some mistakes. :roll:

Yeah! Please: Cantr Spy for Linux, please!
Cantr II is a social simulator. What is not working is due a problem in the society.
Cantr is like Vegas - what happens in the game should be in the game.

If you can install Adobe AIR on your distribution, you can install CantrSpy by clicking the second link in my signature (however, in the words of Rebma, "like..its...so..bare" i.e. is stable and functional however by no means "feature complete").

Note: It has not actually been tested on a Linux machine yet, so it may not work at all!
