Breitbart.com : Brains of addicts are inherently abnormal: study

Fri, 3 Feb 2012 10:30:10 +0000

Dear sir, having personally viewed drug use, and drug abuse from many different perspectives, I'd say that you are leaving out a great deal. I lost a sibling to alcoholism. I also know that sibling would still be here if he were to have been able to use is drug of choice, which was Cannabis. Say what you will about those who take their own use to destructive ends, but please be clear as to what substance you are referring to. If you are referring to any type of "amphetamine", such as meth-amphetamines (and there are many), you will get no argument from me. I have seen that literally turn life-long friends into bitter enemies, make children lie to, and thieve from parents, turn good kids into thugs and schemers. Cocaine? Same thing with a steeper decline of friend and other relationships, and more chatter. Opiates? There are too many to list, but they all come from the same plants, most are terribly addictive, and worse yet, after prolonged use will KILL YOU if you stop cold-turkey! Hallucinogens/Psychedelics? Again, too many to list, from too many sources. Which makes misidentification, mis-dosage, misinformation, and disinformation much more likely with this class of drugs (in a completely unregulated "black" market that is). Assuming you got what you paid for, most are enlightening, unlocking associations, sensations, feelings, and meanings you normally shield yourself from Each trip is indelibly unique, and as such often require weeks, months, even years to bear the totality of their significance to the tripper.. For this reason, abuse can occur, but it is usually more an issue of inappropriate dosage, set, and setting, than one of addicted, or otherwise habitual use. Cannabis is a class of drugs unto itself. It can be eaten (with "or without" psychoactive effect), ingested via tincture, spray, pill or capsule, and most popularly smoked via various means. Cannabis can be both a stimulant and/or a depressant, a pain reliever, an anti-inflammatory, a sedative, a psychedelic, and according to a growing number of studies has been shown to cure various forms of cancer. You cannot ingest enough to kill you, and no one in the history of the written word has ever died from habitual use of it, or any of it's derivatives. While not being "addictive" in the classical sense, it's use patterns can be pervasive, and due to the way it's effects are processed by the body, can have a negative effect of the mood of the user for a day or two after complete cessation of use, but nothing permanent or long-lasting. The most detrimental thing about Cannabis is the way our society currently handles it. Note, I am not promoting the use of any drug. All drug use, if performed inappropriately can have negative out-comes. I'm simply suggesting that there is such a thing as "responsible" use of "drugs". Not all drugs do the same things, or have the same properties. Therefore it is incumbent upon the user to educate themselves PREVIOUS to any experimentation, should they decide that altering their consciousness is something they would like to try. If nothing more, expecting members of our society to use drugs in a responsibly would reduce in number such tragedies as experienced by your brother, and mine. -Oz

WTF? DON'T THEY TEACH YOU ANYTHING IN SCHOOL THESE DAYS? i asked you for a verifiable source, and that you cite it in your response! I didn't ask you for more bs, assertions, qualifiers, or opinions!! But as you seem to understand the concepts of "research" and "debate" about as well as you do "ear-marking", I've taken the liberty of finding a source backing up what I had to say about Ron Paul....you may want to pay attention, you might actually learn something! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoOX9p07xOk -Oz

I would really like it if you would site a specific "credible" source for that one! And by the way, he is for ear-marking EVERYTHING! It is called "budgeting". I know, I know, in the age of rampant deficit -spending, and epidemic cost over-runs, we have no right to expect our leaders to do anything with any sense of responsibility or fear of accountability right?....and you wonder why this nation is in trouble! -Oz

So then you are intentionally lying about Ron Paul? I mean it isn't surprising. With no personal or professional atrocities to plaster all over the web, you need "something" to convince you that he is less worthy of your vote than Newt or Mitt! As to our devotion to Ron Paul, yeah I can see how someone who lives and dies by the word of the MSM would get that impression. However, unlike any of the other candidates, Ron Paul has EARNED OUR REVERENCE!!!! WE ARE NOT SWAYED BY HIS PRESIDENTIAL PROMISES OR YOUR HE-SAID SHE-SAID CR@P! We investigated, we fact-checked, and that is why when someone like you says something that isn't true WE "KNOW" IT IS A LIE! Dig deeper kemosabe, you've yet to find the truth about your candidate! -Oz

Wow, I'm a fool because out of all the data I've read and heard about Newt (both from others and HIMSELF) over the last 3 DECADES I can't convince myself that he isn't a self-serving, lying, manipulating, scheming little b!tch?... I mean really, you go so far as to acknowledge that he was Speaker of the house (first in the line of presidential succession should the president be kicked to the curb, or killed...kinda puts all that fuss about ol Bill's blow job into perspective doesn't it?), with all of the power, influence, and access that seat entails, yet you want me to believe that his "consulting" work for one of the companies that lead us into one of the worst financial disasters of our time (if not among the most expensive EVER...and we are still paying for it!!!) was something akin to a professional athlete doing a commercial for them??? You havn't investigated anything and have no knowledge of Newt's personality. A shadow has more credibility and integrity than that man, and if you can convince yourself otherwise, you need to hook me up with your dealer because he is dropping you the mad chronic! -Oz

Breitbart.com : India mulls using rupee to pay for Iran oil imports

It will never happen. US companies like slave-labor wages too much to do that! Plus the Indian accent is enough to make english unintelligible enough to count as a point for plausable-deniability! -Oz

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:27:25 +0000

Actually we can't make up for the loss of supplying India, we just don't pump that much oil these days. And truthfully the migration away from the petro-dollar is a movement that will not stop. We could depose every leader of every self-owned nation, and we still won't stop them from kicking our guys out, and putting their own back in. Take a look at Iraq or Afghanistan if you doubt me! -Oz

India isn't obligated to support any action we take against Iran. More importantly, their people might not respond all that well should they decide to acquiesce. After all, it is Iranian oil that fuels their cars, and their economic growth rate is only dwarfed by China (another big consumer of Iranian oil)! -Oz

Unless a war hawk like Newt, Santorum, Obama, and Mitt are elected NEVER! It's WW3 and EVERYONE knows it! The only reason to go after Iran is to seize their oil reserves, we do that, we piss off their customers..... -Oz

So what? You'd prosecute them, but give Newt a pass for his criminal-facilitation? If you don't think he was up to it TO HIS GILLS, YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION, AND LETTING THE MEDIA PICK YOUR CANDIDATE FOR YOU ( I know, it's only brain-washing if it's causing people to vote for someone other than Newt right?)! READ, INVESTIGATE, WATCH YOUTUBE AND CSPAN VIDS OF HIM, AND SEE WHAT OTHERS IN WASHINGTON HAVE HAD TO SAY ABOUT HIM BOTH IN OFFICE AND OUT! -Oz

Why would I do that? If I tried it in Alabama :Louisiana,or some parts of Texas I might blow the house up due to the natural gas flowing out of the faucet! The EPA has been asleep at the wheel since Clinton left office. I think the states would have a much easier time establishing and enforcing their own regs versus relying on a body that never leaves home (DC) unless something has gone so terribly wrong that no amount of white-out or redaction could hide it! Don't get me wrong, every time I hear a pundit, or politician talk about "deregulation" I ask, "which regulations are you talking about"? Are you talking about the ones that make the work-place safer? Keep the soil, air and water clean(er)? The ones that make employers treat me like a human being? But I am willing to trust that the state's can find the level of regulation that works for it's constituents rather than leaving it to be micro-managed from a loftily-detached federal bureaucracy! -Oz

Actually if your reference to tariffs was from one of my other posts, that's mine, not Ron Paul's. I believe other countries should be made to pay taxes to participate in our market-place. Seeing as we take in 20% of the world's consumer goods, I'd say that high a concentration of demand is too big for any other country to make up for the loss of. In light of what countries like China do to cut costs enough to out-bid US manufactures, I think making them less attractive as places to farm out labor to is the kind of thing we need to do to get jobs back here. Seeing as $200 a barrel oil would inflate the price of imported goods enough to achieve the same goal, I think my idea is ahead of the curve enough to avert a cataclysmic supply shortage here, and get us over the hump of tooling, training, etc necessary to shift manufacturing back here. The Chinese are not playing fair with us, I see no reason to play fair with them. As far as a "strong national defense" goes, we have the most sophisticated, most skilled, most experienced, and best trained military fighting force ON PLANET EARTH! WTF are you so afraid of? Shifting our labor from China would also eliminate the biggest chink in our armor....US companies would quit farming out the labor for ultra-secret defense contracts to countries (like China) who are world-renown for copying the technologies they have been trusted to manufacture! (look up China, Ratheon, Lockheed-Martin, and GE just to name a few!) -Oz

Now I KNOW you havn't bothered reading up on your candidate, or mine.....I'd bother pointing out if you had that your reply would have consisted of your handle, and "I don't want to see Ron Paul get elected". And that is fine with me, but I'm done pointing out facts to people who aren't even curious enough to verify the cr@p they say on the internet! -Oz

Here is my problem with Romney (and Newt). He is as inflexible on his core beliefs as a wet noodle, and will say/do ANYTHING to be elected! Don't believe me? Review his pre-election promises to his constituents, what he has actually done, and what he is saying he will do now! You will find without fail that you have AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT STORIES! Then look up the words "conservative", and "liberal" and ask yourself which one fits Mitt and Newt better! Personally I am going with the only candidate who has shown consistency between what he says, what he does, and what he truly believes in! RON PAUL 2012!!! -Oz

Try again. Ron Paul is the only one who would do something to end the deficit-growing national defense policy (ie American Imperialism), and return our military's role to providing a strong NATIONAL DEFENSE!!! -Oz

Better yet, vote for the guy who can beat Obama and get us straightened out! If you don't think Ron Paul can win, you havn't decided to vote for your better interests yet! Oh and btw, Congress just passed HR 3166 (look it up if you don't know what it is on open congress .org, and try to think whether or not Newt or Mitt would repeal it, or implement it!!!) with bi-partisan support so I have no idea why you think things are so rosey over there! -Oz

I think you are being charitable there. Between Ron Paul supporters who will not support anyone else in this race, and Gingrich's "conservative, family-values" facade falling apart within 15 minutes of the beginning of the debate, Newt will hand the presidency to Barack (unless us RP write-ins beat them both) and kill any GOP members chances of being elected or re-elected! -Oz
