    One of those guys who insist that pot should be legalized BECAUSE other things are legal, rather than on its own merits.




    Personally, while I don't use it, I am all in favor of legalization, but the argument has to be made about pot itself,m not attempted by proxy.

    No, no, you misunderstood my post. All I was saying was 'Guys might go to job interviews stoned' is a pretty ridiculous concern. It makes the assumption that if it's illegal people will be stoned all the time. Pot should be legal or illegal on it's own merits, not on the merits of some degenerates who turn up to job interviews drunk or high.

    I can't believe we are still talking about this. My comment was a farce on Evander's statement about personal responsibility and getting a cab if you know you are going to be high. The fact that my character was going to a job interview added the humor. It wasn't a great joke... thanks for making me dissect it.

    Pissing your pants feels satisfying when you're stoned.

    The "moving to Canada" threat is as old and cliche as the hills, but if we get closer to the elections and McCain/Palin are looking like they might take the thing I am going to do some research just in case. I can find a job in Canada just as easily as I can here in the states and I'm currently looking for a new career-job anyway.

    As far as Republicans go, I used to like McCain a whole lot. He seemed logical and intelligent and wasn't shy about working across party lines to get things done. He was a professional and could speak pretty well on a variety of subjects. Most-importantly he seemed a lot better candidate than George W. Bush ever did.
    Then he picks Palin, someone far dumber and less experienced than W could have ever dreamed of being.
    I went from "Well I won't vote for him but if he's elected I think I'll live with it" to "Oh God in heaven, please don't do this to my country! I still need to live here!"

    Yeah, but...Canada?

    I mean, if I lived in America, sure, I'd happily move to Canada. Hell, I'd happily move into a semi-detached bomb crater in Iraq. But UK to Canada? I dunno...
