If those are your arguments against it, then why have we been giving children toy guns since we invented them (guns that is not children).
All my lava lamps are on remote control and I would love to use a remote control shaped like a gun, it's just so much fun!
Mines the one with the gun in the pocket.
That the vast majority of people on here, who one would assume are reasonable intelligent articulate members of society given the nature of the site, who have partaken of "illegal drugs" for either medical or recreational purposes are reporting positive experiences. I count myself in this category :-).
So why on earth we have to put up with all this sanctimonious bullshit from politicians telling us how bad they are is beyond me. It can't *just* be about money (which let's face it most things boil down to), 'cos there would be a fortune to be made out of the regulated sale of recreational substances, most people wouldn't be bothered to grow there own if you could go down the road and be presented with a selection of goodies to choose from.
And think of the benefits of making a whole criminal underclass unemployed, or possibly raising some of them out of a life of crime by legitimising their work. (Or is expecting crims to pay taxes a step too far? lol) But it is stupid the way the current system forces the millions of drug users to deal with "criminals". Grrrrrrrr.
i do love my occasional weekends in Amseterdam, and it is such a sham ethat they seem to be getting fed up of being used as a drug takers paradise, if only the rest of the world followed their example, then their problem would go away and only people who wanted to look at windmills, tulips and van goghs would go there.
EOR
(Time for a nice pipe I think)
Who would have thought just a few years ago that you would have errrr movies that took up more than 10 Gigabytes (errr theoreticaly speaking of course). Why on earth would anyone ever need that much storage? lol, although I have to admit 100EB is a bit of a jump isn't it :-)
Been looking to buy a new phone recently and those huge square "icons" on the Lumia really just don't do it for me. Have MS learned nothing from what their successful opposition are doing? It looks so last century it's untrue. With screens of such resolution and colour depth to have such 1 dimensional icons is just plain barmy. I never looked past that, maybe the underlying experience is good, but first impressions count big-time.
Buy all my books from charity shops, keep the ones I like give the rest back save a small fortune on the new price and give money to good causes. Oh and I *like* the feel of a book, of turning over the paper pages. Being bad and folding the corner of my current page over so I can just pick it up and find where I was instantly. And I only ever read one book at a time, so why do I need to be able to carry hundreds / thousands of them around with me? Oh and the batteries never go flat and when civilisation crumbles, I will still be able to read them. And If I get really desperate I can burn them to keep warm. But normally I *like* technology, clearly something is wrong here.
To have a law that is enforced some of the time, than no law and let the morons on their phones kill themselves and other people. We have the law here in the UK and it is partially enforced, though it seems that they need to increase the penalty to a driving ban if they want to get people to actually take any notice judging by the numbers of darwin candiates you will see on their mobes on a daily basis.
Personally I take great joy in ignoring my phone if it rings whilst I am driving. Reminds me of who is in charge. Those electronic tethers control too much of our lives anyway.
