    Wacky news First "legal" cannabis plantation opens in Belgium

    I agree. It's less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes. There's been no repeated scientific studies to prove the great dangers the government always claims about cannabis. They always seem to drag out or cite one or another supposedly scientific study that has never been repeated, or peer...

    Greatest civilization?

    What about "other"? How about the communities set up during the Spanish Civil War? Ha! Actually, I know little about that time/place, except that like all other attempts at similar situations this too had been smashed by the outside and not been able to exist or fall on its own merits.

    Should North America join the EU ?

    What ever happened to NAFTA? The EU began as an European Economic Union and not political at first as well. Afterall, capitalism philosophy bases on the idea of the free movement of capital as well as the free movement of labor. (Just, for now, ignore that that philosophy's origins didn't have...

    The Systematic Dismanteling of America

    Funny you say that... Maybe I'd heard something like that about a decade ago. I started to hear about corporations running everything and that made some sense. But a group like the CFR?!? That did sound kind of crak-pot world government to me. Then I find out about the IMF(International...

    Which English do you use normally?

    American English. It is my 'native tongue'. Recently I watched a bunch of videos of Jamacian music concerts and I could not understand much of the English they used. My ears were not used to the accents. Would that be considered 'Commonwealth English' or 'Other'. It does seem to my...

    What do you think of homosexuality (and gay marriage) ?

    (copy & paste of my words from another string) As for marriage, I do NOT believe it is ONLY a religious thing. There are plenty of people who get married outside of any religious setting. And that is nothing new in human history. If you want to go way back one can watch Mel Brooks movie...

    The Opinion Game

    I was about to say, since no one has responded yet...., but I'm stuck myself. I didn't get drunk until I was 25 yrs old but had smoked occasionally since about 18 and not until I had graduated high school, believe it or not. At the time I viewed alcohol as something the "in crowd" did and it...

But they had to use film. It musta been mega time consuming and frustrating. But they did...

    NATO & terrorism in western Europe
