There's no question that it impairs people's judgement, but it's also temporary and reversable. Alcohol does the same thing, and isn't so reversable with repeated abuse. I don't think that marijuana is harmful; the right most certainly is not correct in this case. Have you ever tried the stuff? I have. I can't say it's for me, but it's certainly not anything that's inherently destructive. And my buddy is pretty good lawyer; he runs civil law at his office, and he's never lit when he's at work. It's a hobby that he partakes in (legally I might add), and he's not destructive to anyone or anything. You haven't made any argument as to why cannabis should be banned either, just that it should be. Last time i got sciency I got 'tl:dr' So lets just say that in the young, the effects are much more serious. 'Our findings indicate long-term cannabis use is hazardous to the white matter of the developing brain. Delaying the age at which regular use begins may minimize the severity of microstructural impairment.' They studied people whose average age when they started to use it was 16, and average length of use was 15 years. And they were quite regular users. So yes, it can be harmful. There is also thought to be a link between cannabis use and schizophrenia in later life. I am NOT against use for medicinal reasons, but I also understand for some people they are unable to get hold of the medicine itself. Like alcohol, people should be much more aware of the risks, particularly in the young. I see it as no different. It should be regulated. But I get there is the whole culture surrounding it too. Thank you for the answer; now, allow me to respond First things first, can you cite the study you quoted please? From what I've seen, the biggest issue is pregnant mothers smoking dope. Cannabis use during pregnancy "is associated with decreased attention span and behavioral problems." Additionally, children exposed to cannabis in utero also are reported to have "lower scores on tests of visual problem solving, visual-motor coordination, and visual analysis" than children who were not exposed. Although a 2012 study purported to find that cannabis use in adolescents leads to a drop in IQ, subsequent studies have found no such effect. But a UK study did find a 3% drop in school exams taken at age 16."

Main paper I referred tothis review might also be useful (Edit: though its a bit weirdly written in places...but follow the research trail from the references) Pubmed is an easy to use database of published work. Many articles will be free to download, and any student should be able to access stuff via their library. If something catches your eye and you can't get access, gimme a shout and I'll see if I can access it via work.

I have absolutely zero clue what a feminist is. The term is so broad that it has little meaning for me. (And I may have tossed a soft ball up for someone with how I worded that second sentence.) I liked the 70s when they called it Women's liberation. All it really meant is women asserting the right to define themselves. It never meant they had to be any particular thing.

Most Americans are extremely stupid. Most people who make generalizations about another group of people are generally full of shit.*Reads profile and see's he's in Indianapolis too and knows the pain* Aye man, they are indeed. But it gets better outside of this god-forsaken state. Go West. Go West young man, to the lands of Denver and beyond (or just take the Megabus up to Chicago) and you'll find the lands reason and intelligence. The true land of Zion (it's in Southwestern Utah). I've been to Chicago didn't care for it. Can't afford to move or live on either coast.

Big Bang Theory is a terrible show. Totally, fuck that boring ass show with its fucking boring characters, unfunny ass jokes with the fucking laugh tracks and the fucking pseudoscience in it. Man, fuck your bazzinga too! There's no question that it impairs people's judgement, but it's also temporary and reversable. Alcohol does the same thing, and isn't so reversable with repeated abuse. I don't think that marijuana is harmful; the right most certainly is not correct in this case. Have you ever tried the stuff? I have.

It's a hobby that he partakes in (legally I might add), and he's not destructive to anyone or anything. You haven't made any argument as to why cannabis should be banned either, just that it should be. ..... I also think the advent of self-driving cars, and cars that park themselves and all this 'helpful' technology bollocks, is a backwards step. People shouldn't be babied. Risk-taking, on the whole, is a good thing. I like driving and going on drive trips but you know a self driving car would be pretty convenient for those instances when you just don't want to drive. Also morning commutes and heavy traffic city driving would be a lot easier and relaxing if you could let your car drive in those instead. I sure wouldn't mind sleeping to work!

I will no doubt get some hate for this but meh. I dont understand the appeal of American Football. Its so boring to watch, the games are slow to begin with but are made even worse with the constant breaks and commercials which completely kills off any flow the game might have. Im not a huge Rugby fan either but imo Rugby>>>>>>>>>>American Football. Most sports to me are lame, especially American football. Sports are useless and don't help society in any way other than pure entertainment. Athletes do not deserve as much money and praise that they get. It's also shitty that some athletes get away with abuse and even rape because, hey, sports! Fuck sports.

It's also shitty that some athletes get away with abuse and even rape because, hey, sports! Fuck sports. I agree with most of what you said. The spot in my brain that should have gone to understanding and enjoying sports is simply re-purposed, I'm sure, for memorizing knitting patterns, cooking recipes and song lyrics. I definitely think athletes being treated like demi gods is bullshite BUT I will say that while I do not derive any entertainment from organized sports or sportstalk or thugging sports: There is something to be admired for taking the human body to it's maximum and achieving something physically in this era. For those that can do that, reach the top rungs of whichever sport, and act with decent normal behavior re: how they relate to the rest of the population, gold stars from me! I just probably wont' know who you are, or why you're in an ice cream commercial, or how you got those huge muscles or super svelte body, or why you're on some cereal box if you're a sports star your cred is lost on me

I liked DA2. Kids should be spanked.
The Australian accent on women makes me cringe. Honey tastes and smells disgusting. Most red haired men aren't attractive. That orange hair color just looks weird. There are a few exceptions such as Domhnall Gleeson of course. Seafood is gross. All women should lift weights.
Many more but that's all I can think of for now. Dobby, you so crazy. I agree with the bolded ones. Redheaded men I have no opinion on, however in my PERSONAL experience Redhead women are very much at one end of the spectrum or the other regarding looks; they are almost always a 9 or a 2... I can hardly believe that after all the progress regarding Cannabis Sativa/Indica today, that after so many studies & social experiments have succeeded in bringing down the moronic stigmas from the 20th century, there are still people who HONESTLY believe that MJ is harmful/for scumbags. Beyond the possibility that these folks have a very real learning disability, I have one other possible guess as to why any normal person would loathe Cannabis and believe it the "Devil's lettuce"; they hate hippie culture. Think about how deeply connected Marijuana use and artistic lifestyles can be, this connection is magnified in the eyes of the foolish man. People who resent those who can be free-spirits, sing, dance laugh and be carefree. Those who truly can make a living doing that which they love, being an artist. Some are more successful than others, but the point remains; they believe in living by their own rules, at least socially and professionally, and they are content. This must anger the old, stagnant conservatives to no end. Just a thought. Also, I agree that Social Media/narcissism are being somehow accepted as ok, when they're very hazardous. Feminism has become hilariously misguided & pointless Parents need to be respected by their children, & respect is part love and part fear. I do not advocate abuse or beatings, but I do advocate parental discipline, it is crucial to a child's early understanding of society and their social development As far as women & fitness goes, this meme is SO true (Sadly, SO many women hold the stupid belief that 1 or 2 good workouts will make them into a bodybuilder/she-hulk, when the truth is it's much more difficult to get that physique than most dudes)

My unpopular opinion - I like Fallout 3 better than Fallout: New Vegas. Also, for my dear Crim - I am capable of cooking, I just despise it and take full advantage of having a husband who loves to cook. So, no cooking for my lazy bones. @vivainadx - I'm the same way with astrology. I don't believe in actual horoscopes, although we'll occasionally reads ours aloud at work for chuckles, but I do think there's something to base personality and when you're born, largely because I'm basically a textbook Aries (and a textbook ENFJ - for those familiar with the Myers-Briggs personality test - but that's a personality whose major traits basically overlap with major Aries traits anyway) and my husband is incredibly Aquarius. So... frustratingly... Aquarius sometimes. *facepalm* And Dad is pretty textbook Virgo, Mom fit Capricorn to a tee... you get the picture. I'm especially textbook for an Aries sun sign with moon in Virgo, although I haven't the foggiest about anything further from my birthchart, so far as ascendant or descendant signs or whatnot.

I liked both as well, but I far, far preferred the Capital Wasteland. It felt more like a post-apocalyptic world to me than being out in the middle of the desert which, as far as general landscape and topography in that game, came off as largely unchanged. I also loved the metros, mazes though they were (which is kind of the point). Which most people seemed to hate nearly as much as people hate DAI's shards (which I liked, too, goddammit).

I think people who trash talk American Football don't know nearly as much about either Rugby or Football as they think they do.
Personally, I see it as just another avenue of trashing on the United States.

The metros were one of my favorite things about FO3. I loved traveling and getting lost in those just for the sake of seeing where I can go. Feral ghouls would scare the crap out of me but I would have Dogmeat with me so I wasn't alone.

Sports are useless and don't help society in any way other than pure entertainment. Athletes do not deserve as much money and praise that they get. It's also shitty that some athletes get away with abuse and even rape because, hey, sports! Fuck sports. I disagree; While I would agree that many sports are overblown, when you start categorizing them as simple entertainment instead of a possible avenue for success (and keeping kids out of trouble), you start to devalue many aspects of what makes our drive as humans great. Would you say that a kid from an inner city with little in the way of realistic academic prospects (whatever his performance actually is) is useless by focusing on Basketball instead of getting caught up in drugs or gangs? I agree that athletes don't deserve nearly as much as the mega-millions they get (praise is different), and that they should be held accountable for their indiscretions and crimes (looking at you Brock Turner). But I don't at all agree that it's a useless venture; for starters, it encourages people to be proactive and fit, and to lead a healthier lifestyle that involves cooperation and team-building to strengthen personal and professional relationships. That goes for any sport, in any country; from American Football, to Soccer/Football in Europe or South America, to whatever it is that the Scots do with logs in Scotland, to Cricket which the Commonwealth countries sans Canada all find to be awesome for some incredibly bizarre reason. Even National Sports teams can be seen as an escape and distraction from national issues; look at the state Brazil was in during the 80's and 90's. It was a depressing place to be; Ayrton Senna and the Brazilian National Football Team gave the people something to be proud of, something to hold onto in the worst days. Look at how that achievement in racing and soccer gave the people inspiration that it wasn't all bad and that there could be something to hold their heads high for being Brazilian, and to inspire them to make a greater place. It's a work in progress, but I think any Brazilian would say that they're proud to be Brazilian, and rightfully so.
