Apparently you've never seen Monster.

The needles are not an effect of the drug. Heroin can be consumed without needles. That's like blaming cigarettes for finger burns due to incorrectly using a lighter. I know San Fran is trying to help drug addicts from using dirty needles by providing them clean needles. Is it cheaper to treat a person for aids or hepatitis or give them clean needles? People can get AIDS or other diseases by having sex. Does that mean we shoud outlaw having sex? Absolutely not. People are responsible for making their OWN choices (I know, what a concept) and can decide if they want to use protection while having sex. Other cultures do have recreational heroin in use and the reason why people here are more likely so have a few beers with some friends is because of the way it is advertised and the fact alcohol production is watched over by the FDA making sure the substances we put in our body will not directly hurt our body. Now if the drug adminstration could control manufacturers of heroin by setting requirements of potency and preventing other things from being put in there (some Dallas dealers are putting in night medicine calling it "cheese") and the public was well aware and had the accessability to clean needles, you would see an increase in recreational drug use in groups. Heroin, just like Marijuana, is non-toxic. During the prohibition there would be no chance of me drinking with a few of my buddies because homemade concoctions were very dangerous and not examined by the government. How many people died of alcohol poisioning during the prohibition era? How many people die of moonshine consumption each year? Would you ever drink moonshine?

At this point I'm going to take back what I said about the USDA because the department of agriculture doesn't focus on growing alochol or heroin (typo ) and I'm diggin all over looking for that one number, but can't find it specifically. However I will stand on how alcohol withdrawal is worse than heroin withdrawal. Alcohol withdrawal can kill you. The effects of heroin withdrawl can kill you just like the effects of alcohol withdrawl. source:wiki on alcoholism So alcohol certain has a leg up on its withdrawl. I recall hearing about this one guy who used to come in every morning 9AM fresh, to get a liter of cheap ass Hannah and Hogg Vodka. One Sunday the clerk came in and say the guy dead up against the door because he puked up blood like crazy before he could get his vodka. One factor was the local laws to forbid any alcohol sales until 10 AM on Sundays. Here's an interesting link on Heroin http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node=heroin Some notable points: Did those symptons match the same that you witnessed SSI? I know I saw people shaking and yakking in the early morning morning hours making it clear they were in for their first buzz of the day. A side note, I don't think it's fair to lump crack, LSD and Heroin all together. They are each different types of drugs. They are hallucinogenics drugs. Here's a good article from an M.D http://www.medical-journals.com/r0351b.htm

Explain more please. I have seen the effects of alcohol abuse and drug abuse first hand (worked in a liquor store for 7 years) and I think the only abuses worse than alcohol is meth and crack abuse. I don't think either of those drugs should be legalize because they are manufactured with chemicals and not grown naturally. I'll have to find the link again, but even the USDA says alcohol withdrawl is 4 times worse than heroin withdrawl.

Just curious, what difference is there between someone staying at home getting f***ed up on smack and someone staying at home getting really drunk? Provided they don't attack anyone or get behind a wheel, why would you care?

You ever bother to think that some laws might be unjust and written poorly? Or do you always want to be a blind sheep? I'm not telling you to break the law, but perhaps you should step away from WoW for just an hour an think why some other people in this world make the decisions you don't.

Define "freedom" and tell me why it was so important to our founding fathers.

What did White Sox fans do to improve their names? You hit the nail on the head. One bad apple doesn't mean all members of a similar group have to taken action to improve themselves. Perhaps frats can improve themselves by finally allowing atheists, agnostics, and homosexuals to join their group. Oh wait, that's something the boy scouts should consider to improve themselves.

Eh, it was alright with a sweet ending. I can't find the site with their homemade movies from the film.

I didn't know there was a talkcubs Not trying to be a dick, but the other sporting boards don't show too much activity. Would it have been easier or better if talkbulls, bears, blackhawks, and big ten were made into separate sub-forums under A&J's? Or have them be there own forums underneath a sports topic folder like the "special interest fourm," perhaps something like they do at motownsports? I luv this layout.

Why do cops constantly way overvalue drugs? Does it make the sentence longer? Doing the math, that's $59 a gram. I never bought weed in my life, but I know a rip off when I see it. That must've been some really, REALLY good stuff if a dimebag costs that much. Or maybe the pigs are just full of it.

Here's SI's Jon Heyman's top 10 list http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...tGMs/index.html 1. Theo 2. Beane 3. Double D from D town 4. Mark Shapiro 5. The Cashman 6. Gillick 7. Josh Byrnes 8. Omar Minaya 9. Dan O'Dowd 10. Kenny Williams 10. Kevin Towers I'd rate Towers a lot higher.

I need someone from the government to cook my meals. They know what's best for me to eat. I also need someone from the government to pick out my clothes to wear.

Me. I have class. I also don't want to be charged $100 for breaking a cheap lamp.

That last post reminded me of one my favorite movies: I don't intend on insulting you, it just sounds like a speech he would say.

How about Hogan "wrestling" Kahli?

I think it'd be more appropriate to subtact from his OBP for his CS.

Absolutely. The only defense for why Hall is on this team is because of his so called talent to hit LHP. Olivo blows him out of the water in that category along with defensive skills. scottj made the same post and you had a great response to it. Something along the lines of "how could he possibly be wrose than the worst major league player in 2007?"

Beat me to it. I just found it. Then there was the follow up to in this thread: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57597 Now I'm not trying to "OWN3D!" you, I just thought it was interesting that your view on Roberts changed so much over the year. I'm sure many people share that same opinion of Roberts.

It's common sense. Due to the current system, there's a very remote, maybe impossible, chance Crede is a type A free agent which makes all these "keep him so we can get a couple of picks" posts worthless. The guy is mediocre, will not negoiate a long term deal, health is a concern, has a replacement who is cheap and full of talent. We don't need him or his $5.1 million salary.

Wow. I remember you being all over Roberts when we were discussing signing Iguchi to a longer term deal before the 2007. Sign me up for Bartolo, he still has to prove himself so nothing's quite a guarantee.

What makes people think Crede can obtain us draft picks? First off there's no chance he'll become a type A, and I don't know how good of season he'll have to have just to become a type "B" free agent which would net us one supplemental pick. Big whoop.

Joe won't bring back s***. It's based on the last two years of performance. Fields bring us more value, but that doesn't put us in a better position for the future and arguably the present.

Your company doesn't offer tuition reimbursement? My company offers 100% (provided you stay for 3 years after the class completion otherwise it's pro-rated) and 70% for wage guys. If you can't afford college at a local community college, how do you expect to help your kids after high school for their college education?
