The end of the world is getting closer....

Pintrepid:
TEOTWAWKI (pronounced teo * twah * kee) ... gee, sucha HAPPY topic for discussion!

But no, not yet ... like Rukia said, I'm quite sure that we'll all be here to see Christmas 2012, and we'll have to endure 2013 as things continue in the Obama era.

Indeed, I'll have to find out if I even have a JOB after the 1st of the year! Stay tuned on THAT one!

*-YUH!-* This nation (less Texas, who want to secede from the Union and be their OWN country) is on the verge of legalizing pot .... how completely ironic ... there won't be any money to BUY any pot!!!

I think that change is definitely happening, though I also think that change is always happening, and if you don't notice it and life is stagnant, then the problem is in your perception and the world is passing you by. We naturally get into repeating patterns and look for what's familiar to makes sense of things, but that's not reality.

Maybe change is happening faster, though I don't think it's an end or a beginning. It's just the ebb and flow of the universe. If it happens, it happens, but I'm not going to prepare for it. Reality is in front of me right here, right now.

Yay! Free pot for everyone! :P

Meh, I had a good run.:D

As far as succession goes, look at it this way. The NWO has long wanted the US as commies. If that was the main goal here (and I believe Oba*a is a puppet here, not that he doesn't want this to happen) what a better way to divide/split the country? Again, he's not calling the shots, the NWO is. But the end result is a much weaker country. (nwo= Ne w Worl d Or der).

I have no problem with smoking up, although the two times I tried it, it did nothing to me. I know, maybe it was weak, well, it did get everyone ELSE messed up!! So it's not really attractive to me, I'd rather get drunk.:rolleyes: I knew many RESPONSIBLE users as a kid- many friends and professional people, a couple I knew were airline pilots (yes, I had grownup friends as a kid). One question that hasn't come up yet, and I'm really surprised it hasnt. What about drug testing? If it's legal to use, can you be fired for it on your own time? As a truck Driver I can't drink within 24 hours of driving and my bac has to be .00 , Federal Law. That being said if have more than 24 hours before work I can drink. So how would this work for smoking?

faralos:
I also possess a CDL license and for us the laws are MUCH tougher if we get  caught while
 'under any influence' of ANY drug including booze so I stopped drinking last year
(mainly in support of my gal who now has Cirrhosis of her liver and had to quit drinking)
as for pot that too takes about one month to get out of your system
so I can't touch that for fear of flunking a drug test for a job  somewhere
and god forbid I flunk one designated for a driving job it goes into the National Drivers Registry
then I must attend a drug rehab for ten months, pay a 2 thousand dollar fine
and of course I lose my CDL endorsement FOREVER so smoking pot ain't worth it to me
 but if  it were made legal then  how would  it be regulated?
 How would the police be able to tell exactly when  you smoked that doobie and how messed up are you?
or would it only be for home use and if you are caught out in public
while high you could be ticketed or jailed just like public intoxication is against the  law now

Shooby Doo:
I'm sure driving jobs would still have the same standards, though for other jobs it may be illegal to test for pot if it's legal. Don't show up for work red-eyed and reekin' and I'm sure no one would care. As far as police and getting pulled over, I'm sure it would be the same: if they suspect you've been smoking and have probably cause, you're going to get searched. If they can smell it on you and you have red eyes, you can get a DUI charge. This happens now. You have to be responsible. I don't think much would change as far as society goes, except it will be a bit more free for some individuals.
