Today I'm angry about.....

All them there scientists doing that resigning business after saying that marijuana and in fact ecstasy are less dangerous than cigarettes and alcohol, that marijuana shouldn't have been upgraded back to a 'B', and that scientific bodies were experiencing political pressure attempting to influence their findings would suggest that somewhere, somehow, Hoboh has a point. The argument that the classification of drugs should be dependant on the health risks is a valid one, one one cannot pretend to uphold if one disregards the scientific evidence of bodies designed specifically for that purpose.Verbal wrote:Hobo (sorry mate, hobinho aint catching on for me) you massive hippyHobinho wrote:Big brother Labour government banning things they cannot tax AGAIN!!
“Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?”
"I think it's interesting the two drugs that are legal, alcohol and cigarettes, two drugs that do absolutely nothing for you at all; and the drugs that might open your mind up to realize how badly you're being f@#&ed every day of your life? … Those drugs are against the law. He-heh, coincidence?"
Rock on Tommy!!
The first one is a bit of a weird argument. Nature isn't the law (i can't be miethered with natural law atm). Laws are, by definition, man made. If nature was the law, then we'd all end up killing each other.
The second one is pretty funny too. The idea that some junkie in Glasgow, desperately trying to pierce one of the few remaining veins in his forearm, shoots up, rolls over and then reveals with breathtaking insight how lucky he is not to be a drinker or a smoker. Not that i'm saying alocholism and nicotine addiction are good things, but it's a hypocritical argument to say the least.

Like I said, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

RAAAANDOM aside, given we were talking yoof language somewhere, I found out the other day that there is a new word for good.....'ill'. Apparently calling something which is good, 'sick' is now too normal, so they have taken the brilliant synonym of good-sick, synonym of sick.....erm...ill? Kids, laugh or cry, and I'm out of tissues. No sniggering at the back.

For me, LOL is "laugh out loud" and always has been. For my mother, it's "lot's of love." Which causes issues when something serious happens. For instance, I got this text off her last year:jimbo wrote:Has anyone mentioned people using accronyms like 'LOL' in normal speech? I fecking hate it.
Another one that has crept in is 'Jokes' as in the phrase 'That'll be so jokes'. Really, really pisses me off.
"grandma very ill in hospital LOL"

I've not heard the last one yet. I suspect I might be arrested should I do.jimbo wrote:Has anyone mentioned people using accronyms like 'LOL' in normal speech? I fecking hate it.

Ding Dang fecking Do is also doing my head in.
I don't hear Ding Dang Do that much. Maybe that's stuck more round Bolton after Max and Paddy? The jokes one I really do hate though. It seems to be a big thing amongst people on my course at uni.Worthy4England wrote:I've not heard the last one yet.

Forgot to add to the title thread
Bloody Stoodents.
And people using the word banter excessively. General rah business. Joshing? WTF? And calling ugly people butters. People describing bad stuff as 'deep burn', that's annoying, I could go on.jimbo wrote:Has anyone mentioned people using accronyms like 'LOL' in normal speech? I fecking hate it.

Random banter.
Good times/bad times/Christmas times etc
Indeed, and it's twattishness that seeps in by osmosis. The odd looks I get when I punch myself in the face for saying 'fun times'..but it's the only way I'll learn.Bruno wrote:Epic banter.Prufrock wrote:And people using the word banter excessively.

Justin Lee Collins, with a recommendation from Alan Carr's Twatty Man? Normally at this point I'd mention something gruesomely horrific I'd rather do than watch that, say for instance have a spiritual conversation during a tantric three way between myself, Noel Edmonds and Peaches Geldof, but I cannot think of anything even nearly adequately horrific to show quite the lengths I'd be prepared to go to to not watch that.Bruno wrote:I'd better take your Christmas present back then

Today I decided to go to build a snowman just for banter. It was sooooooooo jokes! Megalol though when we decided to drive a car at it.
