Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Careful now, I got flamed on this very board for mentioning how upset my family were when John Lennon got shot! And the suggestion that it may have been an assasination had me painted as a paranoid tin-foil hat wearing agrophobic. How pathetic. John Lennon was one of the finest people of the 20th century, the world he envisioned cost him his life.
I hope anybody talking about shooting people for posession are also including the socially acceptable, government taxed+regulated drugs like alcohol, tobacco etc.
If it wasn't for drugs John Lennon wouldn't have written his finest work. Look at the LSD soaked Sargent Pepper. We have had deaths as a RESULT of government misinformation and scaremongering over drugs. Education is the way to go. Theres no use saying only one thing to kids, that drugs kill, when chances are they see their friends/older siblings doing them and staying very much alive. Honesty and transparency in educating on the various types of drugs and their ACTUAL effects on your health is whats needed.

Go watch a Lennon concert where he hands the mic over to Yoko and tell me that drugs were doing good happy thing to his brain. Jeez, the whole Yoko thing should be seen as the biggest argument AGAINST drugs!! :)

We had a lead singer that got into that when we were in high school. He HAD been student council president. After he took to coke he: Punched all the windows out of his house and got a sliver in his veins that had to be surgically removed before it lodged in his heart.
Cut all the street signs down in his area and buried them in his backyard
Took all the licence plates off all the cars in his area because someone had obviously called the cops on him about the street signs
Attacked a tow truck driver with a chain
Set his living room on fire
Sent the whole band to hospital after filling our beer with Tide
etc etc
Granted, he might have had a lot of this inside him from the start, but it was enough to keep me off the mighty white.

Geez I'm glad I found a new forum that deals with video games and coin-op games. The back and forth tit for tat posts IS GETTING OLD!! Floyd be careful a record is not worth a little doobie.
fredster:
Floyd,
Drugs will take away more than you know, even pot. They take you off your game and make you weak. All of the old potheads from my wasted youth are still living at home with their mammas and wondering why everybody else has nice houses.
It wastes your time and your energy and your life. It has no rewards. It will stop you from being free and happy. It takes you off your game, and sometimes out of the game. Drinking, tokeing, etc is a waste of time.
Grow up Floyd before somebody makes you. Growing up sucks, that's for sure, but everybody has to do it.
Shmokes,
We don't need to legalize any new intoxicant. Why should we? So more people can be more screwed up and kill more people on the roads and in their homes? How about getting screwed up and burn down your house or spend the money on drugs and forget your kids? How about getting high and beating your wife or losing your job? Don't tell me that doesn't happen dude. I have lots of buddies from the 70's, lots.
That's what we need, more ways to get screwed up and not face life. Yep, great position. It's a choice - be alive and well and free or be dependent on something to get you through the night. great choice. Let's have yet another crutch.
Do you want your pharmacist on drugs? How about your doctor or your lawyer? I know, how about your taxi driver. After all, he was just sitting there and wasn't driving when he took a toke.
Great idea. NOT.
I've done my share, that's for sure. It wasted years of my life for nothing and kept me from being more and doing more when I needed to do it. And for what? A few minutes of euphoria I can't remember?
I wasted a good portion of the years I should have been doing something and learning something on getting the next bag 'o dope. I look back and see nothing but lost opportunity.
I'm not religious at all. You keep going over that point in any conservative viewpoint. I don't understand that. Most religious people are conservatives, but not all conservatives are religous people.
You are for gun control, but for people having drugs. Great postion, makes great sense. If everybody doesn't have a gun they can get high right?
