You fucking what? Is Thailand drowning in bycicle lanes? Didnt think so either

That may be so, but I highly doubt there are as many as there are here. Also how is Thailand the Netherlands of Asia?

if you have more than 17 million bikes in thailand than you are correct

We don't have as many dickgirls.

Could you explain how Christ's death nullified the Old Testament? I never understood that.

It didn't nullify it per say, His death payed off the sin debt in full for all of man from the Adam to the end of days. I guess by nullify he means the harsher rules and offerings to God. However, I would like to point out that many of the "harsher" rules were due to the environment and society back then being much, much harsher (for example while there was likely some cases of genocide, the people being killed were likely incredibly evil people[ like a city composed of nothing but Hitelers]).

Huh, that's pretty cool.

GG, thanks for explaining.

Almost nobody thinks of themselves as irrational people whether or not that is true.

In case you're too lazy to follow his link but not so lazy as to not read my explanation: So I assume you know how it went with Terra, first bad guy, turned good, enslaved by Slade, gains control, yadda yadda sacrifices self for beast boy and others, now a statue.
So in another episode, that was apparently after those events, Robin leaves to train on his own or some shit and the guys are left at the tower with nothing to do, after a little bit of loafing around they decide to investigate Robin's room, where they find his stash of costumes, unable to avoid the temptation they all take a costume dress up as robin and just chill, using his equipment to do simple tasks and referring to each other as Robin, which leads to an "oh shit" moment when Robin shows up, but he plays along and everything was cool.
This comic implies that at some point beast boy brings down one of robins outfits and puts it on statue Terra so she can be part of the fun.

i disagree, if you're a pothead deadbeat you'd still be a deadbeat without the pot. some people are just not meant to make it big. making it illegal to smoke pot doesn't really affect that

I think you're reading it the wrong way. They were dumb lazy asses even before they started being potheads. Otherwise they'd never stoop this low. I'm not big on weed at all, but imo both demonising and praising it are equal overreactions.

correlation =/= causation
perhaps they are failing school because they smoke weed
perhaps they smoke weed because they are failing school
or perhaps the overlap between the two is entirely coincidental and neither has any effect on the other

I'd personally like to think that the cause of their grades is more of a combination of the abysmal state of our failing education system and their parents who are too stressed out by our collapsing economy to invest any time into their child's education because they are too preoccupied with trying to ensure that their child has food and shelter.

Their drug use is likely to help them cope with the stress they feel as overflow from their parents along with their budding realization that if their parents are struggling so much, than their own prospects for a future aren't looking so bright, combined with the stress of a school system which believes that mountains of busywork is an acceptable substitute for a proper education and that children should be strapped down to a desk and never allowed physical activity because remaining stationary for hours on end is a perfectly natural and healthy way for children to behave, and any who do not like behaving this way should be harshly punished.

Lab mice who were given an abundance of food and water in a large, clean cage with an exercise wheel, along with drugs almost entirely ignored the drugs. Lab mice who were given minimal food and water in a cramped, dirty cage with nothing to do became hopelessly dependent on the drugs.

This strikes close to home when it comes to the school system. My kid is seven and has a sensory disorder. I managed to put her in a school for kids with disabilities, which lowered the class size enough for her to cope and gave her a Para teacher for the days when she can't.

I STILL get told, daily, that she's too difficult redirect when upset or enjoying the activity. I actually have a meeting to go to today, upon which I hope to educate these teachers about sensory issues. Yes, her difficult redirection is mainly sensory related, but she's also seven! She likes to hum and rock when she starts to get overwhelmed, but it's also a sign that she needs a break and a moment to get the excess energy out. At home when doing homework, she gets to stand up, do jumping jacks, run around 'like a crazy chicken', and then sits back down, just to get rid of that kid energy.

By the way, when she does hum or cry, they take away five minutes of her recess. What kind of crap is that? She very much needs the physical outlet, and no one seems to think so now a days.

....sorry, I realized I went on a rant. The whole point is I agree with your statement one hundred percent, and that one bit hit closer than I wanted it to.

It's even worse for kids who have any kind of disability or disorder. Even the teachers who are specifically supposed to be able to handle that kind of stuff still seem to expect good little robots instead of energetic, rambunctious children.

My little sister, my little brother, and myself, were all diagnosed with ADHD. My mom never medicated me because she didn't trust the zombie pills, but after all the shit she went through with my schooling, she finally broke down and drugged my sister and brother, and all that really did was take the edge off some of the time. Both of them were put on some of the highest doses available, put on experimental shit, you name it, they pumped those poor kids full of it in a desperate attempt to get them to sit down and shut up for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It never fully worked, and it did more harm than good. One of the pills they put my sister on hospitalized her several times for heart and blood pressure issues. One of the pills they put my brother on gave him ticks like he has fucking turrets syndrome, they took him off of it, but several years later, the ticks have still not gone away. I've heard there is an extremely effective treatment for ADHD that has minimal side effects, but unfortunately, medical marijuana is far too dangerous, and even if it weren't a federal crime, it would certainly be unthinkable to give it to children. Better to give them the pills that make them twitch uncontrollably, lose consciousness, and have heart attack like events at the age of 9 and still have little to no effect, than the ones that make them giggle a lot and crave junk food, and actually work.

All these kids really need though is to get up and move, but sadly, even when they are allowed a little bit of physical activity, they have these overprotective tyrants hovering over them and making sure that they don't ever dare to do anything that could potentially result in a wittle boo boo because as we all know, children are made of glass and even the tiniest nick or scrap will simply destroy them for life, so it's much better to instill them with absolute terror until they don't even want to play anymore because they think everything is too dangerous.

I heard there was some school that tried out desks with exercise bikes built into them so the kids could just sit there and pedal all day while they learned, and it worked fantastically. Unfortunately, I don't think they will be rolling that out large scale any time soon, despite the resounding success.

We spend so much time and effort discouraging children from being active, then wonder why we have an obesity epidemic.

Anyone smoking pot while in high school isn't smoking responsibly.

Even if they do it after finishing up all home work and doing the dishes?

i dont get it.
im not allowed to sell drugs. but he should be simply because he wants to?
i really dont get what you are trying to tell me...im propably stupid or dunno...

no
i give up certain rights to live in this society...
as a neutral persons we dont have to follow any rights, as well as others wouldnt have to
everyone could do whatever pleases him....its called nature. you can run around and murder people if you want. but others can murder you too.
we made society work by equally giving up some rights. who stops me from just stabbing and robbing that guy? the law. he wants me to respect the law...he has to do so too.
