If you push me, yes i will rat you out. If you show respect and don't pressure because "It is completely harmless and is awsome", then i have no problem. As stated above, my entire Frat smoked it like crazy, but they knew not to smoke it around me. It is called respect.

And no i think you should be able to smoke it if you want to. As said earlier, i have no problem with it being legal. I just loose respect for people who can't make it though their day without it.

>implying just because it´s forbidden by law makes it a good thing.

Ha, luckily I do not need to think because there are rules to follow.

Don´t get me wrong, I support the police and most laws, but if you really think busting some people because they smoke weed and have fun is the right thing to do you´re just being an asshole - and I´m saying that despite not even being a stoner.

I used to be a heavy pot smoker and i have gone months without it with literally no withdrawal.
The worst of that psychological dependence i've ever experienced was that i felt like lighting up a couple of times at the end of a stressful day, and that's it.

So i don't really know where you get your bullshit facts from, but they're complete and utter bullshit. Also my experiences with quitting exactly match everyone i know who has had a break from smoking for longer than a month. I know about 20-30 people who smoke regularly, exactly 0 of them became schizophrenic and absolutely none of them required any treatment to get off the damn thing.

These are rare cases. My entire undergrad fraternity smoked pot, only about 5% of them showed any addiction symptoms. The Schizophrenic case is highly rare because it is a perfect storm of symptoms and chemicals.

As much of a chode that other guys being, why the fuck must people go on about psychological addiction as though it's the easiest shit to both avoid and get out of? You know that one habit you have you don't really see the downside of while everyone else looks at you with disdain as they list off the reasons you're probably better off not doing it, or maybe even just calming the fuck down with? That's a psychological addiction. It's not physical because the way to get out of it is behavioural. It's not as bad as a physical addiction with respect to severity, but is as difficult to drop as working out is a habit to pick up, particularly if you're doing it for the same reason you wouldnt work out.

Like most habits, marijuana's one of those habits that really only negatively impacts your life if you throw your life at it like a fat kid would himself on cake. The same can be said about any habit like that, which I why my belief is it should be made legal, but I'm not just gonna sit here and listen to a community who believes depression is something you "just get over" as a group of resident experts on psychological addiction.

officially, if you are smoking pot in a state where it isn't legal or without the appropriate licence, you are officially. I don't make the laws, but i do follow them.

Also, do you know so little about addictions that you feel a psychological addiction is just something you can get out of or is their fault? It means that without it, they can't function mentally, they are that dependant on it. Like most drugs/chemicals that effects your brain, you can get addicted to it. You then need help to break it. It isn't a joke.

#172 - gerfox (07/07/2015) [-]
I love how Greeks argue they Germany should do this because they did it.

In 1953 German debt constituted 25% of their GDP. Meaning cutting it in half would mean reducing it by 12%. Today Greek debt is at 180%, cutting it in half would mean reducing it by 60%. That's five times more money or well, at least in comparison to the GDP

The truth is, you can't rely on other countries to save you, and Germany would've payed off that debt eventually, because they had the ability to pay their loans when they were due. Reducing the loan only meant that Germany would be able to pay back the rest they owed a lot faster, since halfing their national debt freed up money. In Greece the debt is so massive that even cutting it in half won't mean Greece will manage, and it will also mean that tax money worth about what Greece produce in an entire year has been given away as charity.

And thats why Greece is asking instead of austerity measures to help us grow our economy. We are not saying we wont pay. We are asking for help in order to grow as economy in order to pay back the debt plus interest.
#430 - gerfox (07/07/2015) [-]
The problem is that your politicians have not proven themselves to be trustworthy and stable partners, and now, with the recent referendum - the people seem to be equally rebellious. This creates distrust, and is in part a reason to why the interest is so high too.

The austerity measures have helped in Portugal, Ireland and Spain - slowly and steadily, and they will help in Greece too. If you are willing to listen, and cut where its needed. The pention system of Greece is fantasy, and needs to be tightened greatly. And I say that as a Norwegian. Not even we, who have money in abundance, have so good pentions and terms of pentions.

Growing an economy will take a lot of time, and that was what shouldve been done from the 80s until now - you can't expect people to not get their money for the time period that will take.

Also, spitting in a shitton of money to boost the Greek economy may sound sensible - but its not really. You lack industry, and factories doesn't just sprout out of nowhere. To attract investors you need some comparative advantage, and to get that you need cuts, and right now you have fairly high wages - crazy pentions, early retirement ages, and not a particularily skilled work force. Cut wages, pentions and increase the retirement age and you might cut down on unemployment and the costs of the state.

Just spitting money in to stimulate the economy has rarely worked whenever it has been tried. Mitterand tried it in France in the 80s and it failed miserably for instance. He turned around completely and ended up cutting too. I think its sad that Syriza has deluded the Greek public to thinking that there's actually a fairytale solution that the finest economic minds of former governments and the entirety of Europe hasn't come up with yet - and I also think that its sad that the Greek public once again believes in someone who tell them fairytales. The last time they did, it ended up with great pentions, high wages and early retirement ages.

The only way out, if you ask me, is to accept the demands or declare bankruptcy. The last alternative will make you shunned for a long long while, but it might be shorter and less painful.

As of now the most important business sector for Greece is tourism, isn't it? I'm scared by that too. The way this case is portrayed makes it easy for potential tourists to dislike, and avoid Greece. Can be really negative for tourism too.

Sorry if I seem harsh or something, but I feel quite strongly about this - and if I seem one-sided in the post I would just add that I blame everyone. The EU states should've never let Greece into it in the first place, and then should've never let them into the Euro as Greece needed to grow from their agricultural focus. Greek politicians should've been more honest, and less populistic. The Greek people should've voted more sensible and sustainable, rather than voting for fairytales.

Btw , thank you for posting. It really helps me have a clear view of my country's economy and situation cause the media are just terrorizing the people and i dont trust the TV at all. I hope everyone could see how we are struggling and how we want to make our country better but we are SO FUCKING SELFISH its insane. It has been long since i was proud for being a Greek. I am afraid that if i go abroad and say that im from greece people will just avoid me cause of all the lazy , selfish , corrupted stereotypes that have emerged.

You are absolutely right about everything but the high pensions. My mother (56) just retired with an early (reduced) pension cause she was laid off her work with no excuse just for the sake of hiring someone younger and cheaper. She managed to take the early pension merely out of luck cause im still a university student on my last year. She takes about 400-450 euros and she has been working from the day she was out of school (18-19) in various jobs. My father(63) was just forced to retire and he was working from when he finished school in a part time job and after he finished a technical uni he was working for the same company for nearly 40 years. He is going to take like 600-700 euros at best (maybe im exaggerating too). So thats 1000 euros /month for a household. Thats barely enough to support a household with bills , keeping a car and its expenses , and for groceries. I dont know about other pensioners but that doesnt seem high or enough to me.

We were set behind by the previous generations' mentality and the thing is that all the working force who could have made a difference is being scared away. I heard on the radio that many have cancelled their holidays on Greece and thats a big hit on our economy. I know the best is to just default , restart the economy , and start new relationships anew. But thats like a utopia and i will be 40-45 till i see Greece have a bright day. Maybe my kids will see it. Maybe not.
#433 - gerfox (07/07/2015) [-]
1000 euros a household is not a lot, no - but again, being forced to retire at 63 is way too early. Where I come from you can get your pention at either 62 or 67 - but you can still work if you want to (however, if your income reaches a certain level the pention will be reduced). Lately a lot of elders have been complaining greatly about the retirement age, because they want to increase it - and work until they are at least 75.

Yeah, where I'm from the state department has told people not to order new vacations to Greece because of the uncertain economic situation, and people who've already booked are being told to take precautions (take out cash in advance etc).

Yeah, that's the problem with declaring bankruptcy. It will fuck you over for a whole generation. If you are able to accept austerity measures, and pull yourself out however - you will have it a bit worse for 10 years, and then you'll have a solid foundation to build on.

Selfishness is alright, and everyone are selfish. Its because of their selfish need to have a bigger common market, and a strong EU that Germany wants to keep Greece in the eurozone. The problem is that you have, if you ask me, long term selfishness and short term selfishness. Greeks want everything to be as best as possible right now, with no regard to what happens in a couple of months, let alone a year. The German government have on the other hand thought that lending money to you have been a stupid move on the short term, as they will lose liquidity, and could've used it on increasing welfare or improving their own economy etc. - but a smart move on the long term because it will save Greece, and make the EU stronger for everything else.

The previous generations aren't the only ones to blame though. From the newsreports I've seen from Greece after the referendum it seemed as if the old people more frequently than young people voted "yes" - and the people who voted now aren't only the previous generations but the current too. Everyone is responsible, and ultimately, the people are the ones responsible for decisions made by their delegates in a democracy.

You seem pretty sensible, and I'm relieved that there are some of you in Greece too. Gives me hope. I've discussed this topic several times online with Greeks, and never have I come across anyone who has not drawn out the war reperations card, called me a Nazi I have "ger" in my nick, and people assume I'm German even though I'm not or for some reason said that the current situation was everyone elses fault, and not the Greeks'. One even babbled about how it all was a conspiracy because the EU wanted to steal Greeces natural resources and enslave the people - and that it was really "the corporations" which was responsible for the downfall of Greece. When I presented him with actual world bank data and facts drawn from Greek national budgets and reports to back my claims he just told me all I wrote was Merkel propaganda.

And thats the flaw with democracy. A fool who rejects concrete evidence, and who lives in an "alternate" world has equal voting rights as someone who's got his shit together, knows shit - and will vote for sustainability.

Damn, my posts are getting long.

Thats what i mean by being selfish. Its that belief of "We are right everybody else is wrong". Well believe me , my parents would still be working if they werent both forced out of their jobs. Even my father who helped build a company from the ground was forced to retire. That's saying a lot. Nobody will keep a 50+ year old employee in a mall or a clothing shop when you can hire a hot 20 year old that can work for half or 3/4 of the money you paid the other one. My mother worked in the Attica Store in downtown Athens. There was a wave of lay offs and she was caught by it The situation is this however and it must be dealt with. And for the time being tourism must take as little of a hit as possible.

hrm... as a self-proclaimed "progressive", I would NEVER cut NASA or non-military social programs (at least ones that have a good track record).

As an electrical engineer, I definitely see how, during the last century, defense spending has had a HUGE impact on upper-middle-class and lower-upper to upper-class society and in turn economic spending. I feel like half of my graduating class ended up working in some capacity for a defense contract.

HOWEVER... in my progressive mind, I'm all like, "YO! This is America, right? We have ultimate freedom, right? If I want to masturbate for 10 hours while watching Teletubbies and eating chocolate ice cream, I can, right? If I want to drink alcohol and trash my liver on the dance floor every Friday night I can, right? But wait - if I want to snort cocaine or take LSD in my own home all of a sudden I'm a 'bad person' and a 'burden on society'. FUCK THAT!!! What I do to my body is my own business. As long as I don't hurt anyone else or bring them in harm's way, what's the problem?!?!"

So, my proposal is this: we first de-criminalize and then later legalize hard drugs. Then all of a sudden we have literally millions of new jobs popping up in pharma companies designing better, safer recreational drugs, as well as apparatuses for detection (like breathalayser for alcohol). Not only that, but you move defense spending over to education and the arts (like they do in Europe) and BAM! All of a sudden all that money you invest in people's happiness, well-being, education and recreation has made a happy, wealthy population, ready to spend and help the economy. I'd have to either do or dig up a study on the potential benefits of such a proposal, but it could be HUGE!!! Happy, wealthy, culturally-fit and relaxed people don't get angry, steal shit, kill each other, turn to illegal means to earn money. And if hard drugs are legal and safe like alcohol (and soon marijuana), then you can be damn certain a new wave of spiritual, intellectual and philosophical enlightenment is upon us. Not only that, but the world population might stabilize, as we'd now have more intellegent people, seeing as higher education is free (and maybe mandatory), and higher-intellect people generally have fewer kids.

Yeah man - I'm a progressive and I love thinking about what a great progressive future utopia could be like. I know we don't get there by taking giant progressive leaps, but we also don't get there by bashing people who think differently than us. I think that is at the very core of progressive thinking.

Anyways, peace and love, bra.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Now look at the word bear. "[WITH OBJECT]

So saying you can't carry in public means you are infringing on a person's rights to bear arms. Thus the logic using the 14th Amendment means that I have the guaranteed right to carry arms everywhere, anywhere, and anytime because saying I can't is denying my rights. Now I'm not saying you're wrong, what I am saying is that using the current logic and argument that was used for gay marriage can also be used for Gun rights.

I was amongst the long hairs, which were a mish mash of all those types of things. so yeah, you could say that we were just the kids who liked metal. but that included a few scene kids. just for the sake of conversation, what is your definition of scene? because I've only ever seen the extreme cases of autism on the internet, and what i thought to be mild cases in person.
#68 - stripey (07/02/2015) [-]
Scene to me is basically a more happy emo. Lot of colors, probably some tattoos and piercings. It comes in varying degrees. Guys usually have that longish wispy hair.

Personally I find scene chicks super hot but they are much more likely to be crazy.

I'm not a scene guy myself but I appreciate the subculture. It's kinda cringe in some cases but to me it seems uniquely "teenager" and interesting.

I agree, scene chicks can be hella tasty.

Read up a bit on your Supreme Court cases in regards to "Privileges and Immunities". The Slaughter-House cases back in the late 1800s came to the conclusion that the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.S. Constitution only protected rights guaranteed by the United States, not by individual states. Meaning, in the case of gun laws, you have the constitutional right to own guns, you don't have the constitutional right to carry them in public.

Those civil consequences—and the public approval that conferring the name of marriage evidences—can perhaps have adverse social effects, but no more adverse than the effects of many other controversial laws. So it is not of special importance to me what the law says about marriage. It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me.

Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact—and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the Court’s claimed power to create
“liberties” that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This
practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves.

You can't make laws that forbid something on religious grounds because of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. The only arguments for the restricted definition of marriage is on religious grounds, therefore, the restricted definition of marriage is unconstitutional.

True, decisions are overturned and flipped on their heads. It happens quite often in our history, but history has also shown that in the end, the decision that sticks is the one that grants more people rights to do something than restricting the rights of those people.

How they stepped out of the bounds? They determine if it is constitutional or not and send it to the house,Senate, and congress. They do not Pass legislation themselves. They do not have the authority to say this is now legal or illegal. They just determine if its constitutional more or less. They took the power of the State and the People and passed a law based on their own bias. You should read the Scalea Dissent. SCOTUS isn't allowed to do what they did. The proper procedure would of been yes it is constitutional and pass it onto the next guy to make into a law or no and reject it.

The Supreme Court is our linch pin to stop unconstitutional bills that are presented from the House, Senate, and Congress. They are just a very important legislation FILTER.
