Man I ******** hate drug dealers. I hate the risk, the rip-offs, all the drama involved in obtaining a little pot. The DEA makes it seem like pot smokers are crazed criminals, the only thing most stoners do that is illegal is smoke pot, if they just made it legal a large portion of crime would stop.

Marijuana is a staple for dealers who sell other drugs. It's debated that pot is a gateway drug as far as using is concerned, but it's defenitely one for selling. Most dealers learn the game from slinging dimebags. The majority of the money that funds people who distribute extasy, cocaine, heroine and prescription drugs comes from the sale of marjiuana. If the government was smart, they'd legalise the use of the drug, and then the whole illegal market will dissapear. Fewer budding dealers appear as there is no "light" drug to deal. Pot dealing is a big part of gangs, get rid of that and organised crime starts to lose its funding. The government can still crack down on hard drugs, I don't give a s**t.

Wow... only in Gaia can someone debate the effectiveness of a sword over a firearm. This is freaking retarded.

Yea... really I just realised after your first reply that debating with you would be as fruitful as arguing with a brick wall. I decided to have some fun.

Anyone who says they are 100% free of racism is a liar. It's our natural instinct to be racist, we are genetically designed to stick with our own kind, yet then again most have this increased desire to breed with other races, thinking it "exotic."

Not a fallacy so much as an observation. You reminded me an awful lot like Bill Maher, you have a similar debating style.

Racism is the product of broad generalisations based upon observation. Hence this is why alot of surburban white folk fear, yet respect black people in their polite, yet still uncontrolably racist way. White people from the inner city or "ghetto" subruban areas generally outwardly express their contemp for "niggers." We generally use the term "n****r" as an adjective describing a stupid cheapskate who can't be trusted and is overly obsessed with "thug life." Uses for this term include:

"Aw man, that dealer niggered me on a dime."
"God damn that 50 Cent is one stupid n****r."
"What kind of s**t is that? Are you a man or some n****r?"

In this the term n****r is not just for Black people, but anyone with "niggerish" traits. I know many black people who I do not consider to be niggers, but African Americans. However those monkeys that run across busy streets for fun and steal CDs out of people's cars, those are niggers in the truest sense of the word.

Oh I get it, you're a p***k.

Life does not spontaniously generate, this is a proven scientific fact. Evolution claims that all life came from a single starting point, the branching tree of life naturally comes to a single trunk, however it is impossible for science to explain who planted the tree to begin with, as the universe, like a tree, shows obvious signs of age.

Many different religions and cultures have their thoeries on what supernatural events spawned the seeds of the universe, but we aren't debating what religion is right, just proof that some form of higher being or force exists.

(My first post back on this website and it's an ED religious debate... figures.)

I personally don't see what the big difference between Creationism and Evolution is. The Bible describes vaguely, yet accurately the theory of evolution if you really read between the lines. And the 7 day thing is a mistranslation of the Hebrew. I looked up the word used in the original text in a Concordance and it has a much closer meaning to a general term for a period of time, any length.

There are many other blaring relationships between Christianity and science in the Bible with quotes such as "Let the waters bring forth life." If that's not referring to pre-Cambrian life I don't know what is.

People take the Bible literally, you have to remember it was written by a variety of different people who witnessed different parts of a grand happening. It's first and second hand accounts of cultural changes and mortal interpretations of the word of God, written by poets and scholars. You have to give them some artistic license.

My personal belief is that God set the matrix, so to speak. He created the programming for life, then let it unfurl naturally, following the rules that God set to govern the universe. Even science can't come up with anything close to an explanation for the beggining of life, what set the big bang off in the first place, the closest thing the human race has to an answer is that it must have been created by a higher power.
