Re: Personal Reflections and Rules to Live By
Jayde in post 51, you might be right about me getting things a bit tangled up. The idea I was trying to share was that if people can refer to me by my non-legal name because it's a username, then people can show Hailey the same respect. I was never asked if Dan was my legal name, because it never really mattered too much. It was the name I chose to go by on the forum, and everyone went with it. Also, IMO Dan roles off of the tongue better than Garrett, but that's just my opinion. I don't really have a preference, so long as nobody calls me Dannyboy again.
As for pot, I definitely agree it should become legal. I think it only became illegal because some government official came up with some bullshit story about how it turned this one kid into an axe wielding murderer. None of this was actually accurate of course; the kid was just a psychopath who just so happened to smoke weed. However, like most government officials love to do, he twisted the story so as to make people think it was all the fault of the hemp plant. Why? Because hemp can be made into so many things, such as clothees. Because of the fact that hemp could have easily replaced most of the products making the rounds already and this guy didn't want hemp to start making a monopoly or whatever, they spun this story to drive fear into people and make sure this plant couldn't be sold. I'm going to go ahead and say that no, I haven't researched this and I don't really know this 100 percent happened. What I am saying is I am super inclined to believe it, because think about it. We're talking about the government. The government would do anything for their next dollar. Why do you think they're so reluctant to drop a lawsuit on big companies like Google/Facebook for all the clearly illegal practices they indulge in that they couldn't possibly get away with if they weren't online companies? Because if they did, they wouldn't be earning as much money. These companies and the government have a symbiotic relationship. They throw the government a bone and get to do pretty much anything they want in return. Honestly at this point, would you really put anything past the government of any country nowadayshi?
