Nothing really, as long as it doesn't cause you to do harm or lead you to ride down crack candy lane..lol


I really hope that you aren't implying smoking weed leads to smoking crack? I'm honestly not sure if you are, but if you are implying this, your ignorant beyond hope.

And that's great your straightedge, but what the hell do you care if I or others do drugs? Main problem I have with the sXe movement; started out in the punk movement, yet some of the hardcore straightedgers attack people for drinking or smoking or whatever. That's just fucked up, and it's made me lose respect for the scene as a whole. I understand not everyone in that scene is like that btw. But obviously you have stereotypes about drug users, especially cannabis users...what research have you done into the subject? And if you haven't used before, how the hell do you know what it's like or that it is bad? And don't give me "So-and-so smokes weed and is now dumb and unsuccessful." I can give you 10X more people who don't smoke weed who are like that, and I can give examples of users who are not like that.

BTW fuck the U.S. in general. I hate my government.

What has happened here over night? Thread is not as funny anymore and I am saying that as a student of political science, who should be kinda thrilled about such arguments coming up.

There has to be some kind of relation between the devs swedish nationality and their animosity towards strong social security systems. While Rhiannons descent suggests that she has been brought up in diametrically opposed enviroment. Kind of an: "You always wish for what you cannot have" kind of thing.

Not too surprising then that I as German are somewhere in between with my opinion. Jorb your piechart isn't really working for you btw, 20% of the budget for defense measures? That is ridiculously high.

Was he right about any?


His political statements are certainly argueable to say the least. As a socilogist he is still considered to be one of the most influential writers of his time. Without him Max Weber couldn't have written his fundamental works that created sociology as a science.

Straight Edge as in no sex either? That certainly explains alot.

Edit: While I was writing this the thread turned into a discussion about wether weed is a gateway drug or not? Nice.

drinking water leads to smoking crack
prove me wrong
how many crackheads have not imbibed DHMO, a vile substance itself?

Isn't a person sXe on the days they aren't doing drugs?

thedownwardcult, what have you done to try and fix your government, other than be downtrodden about the whole situation?

Imo they're secret fans of apocalypse-like environments and would like to recreate a mad-max scenario, possibly far from their home.

I see no other rational explanation :D

Probably a Jorb alt that started this line of argument, considering how they specialise in forum drama. :)

The fuck.

I'm a "straight edger", if you want to call it that. I consider any form of recreation that cannot be connected with some form of intellectual stimulation, and mind you, I consider HnH as the latter, to be pathetic and weak. I have never touched any illegal drug; I refuse to drink and strictly monitor my diet. You don't see me imposing my view upon you, though, and I don't want to. I impose first and foremost upon myself and if I'm correct, then my life's success shall bear me out. If not, revel in your happiness and my squalor.

Objective measures for such measure include overall purchasing power, quality of life, and ability to influence others with consideration of minimizing risk. So far, I feel that I am doing well but have not yet established myself to an extent that I should preach.

That said:

Why aren't we arguing about the game again?

Just curious, how exactly do you measure one's ability to influence other people ?
And while we're at it, how exactly do you measure the impact of your philosophy of life on those metrics you chose to describe success ?
Lastly, those goals you're setting are all means and not ends. How do you make it more than vanity ?

Not attacking your philosophy or stuff, just trying to understand it.
