Elton John Speaks Out: Legalizing Cannabis is a Grave Mistake
Well, I gave uo smoking with fhe help of Carr's book. Worked like a charm. By the way, a lot of what people learn comes from books, whether it's school or an occupation or whatever. Therefore that argument of yours was quite silly! In the mid 90s, and and again towards the late 90s, heroin came through my little town of 6000 people. About 25 people that I know/knew personally, including three of my best friends, got hooked on that sh.t! I witnessed first hand not only their descent into addiction, but also their demise and the ensuing aftermath. Heroin infiltrates and screws up every single aspect of your entire existence, if you get hooked on it. And getting rid of that is so much a much bigger issue than just growing a pair and getting it done, like you suggested! If it was that easy we wouldn't be having this conversation! Now, there are definitely people who can give up smoking with sheer will power, and you might be one of them, but for most people sheer willpower doesn't work. Just because it works for you, doesn't mean it will work for everyone. -

New Powers Aim to Curb Youth Radicalisation by Restricting Online Access
Yes indeed, it’s a fast slippery slope to 1984. However extremely difficult to handle. Where is the boundary set? I agree, I started feeling uncomfortable with all the banning and censorship during Covid. Never in my life have I seen such obvious “1984” “thought police” in action as then. Scientists and doctors who previously were heralded as international leaders within their fields were not only silenced but lost their jobs/licenses, just for having a different opinion than what the government wanted. This, IMO set a dangerous precedent. Obviously, the more you ban the more you will find resistance. The problem is where is the line between acceptable or not? Who makes the decision about where to set that line? Furthermore, who makes the decision about what is acceptable. Once it’s acceptable to imprison the old grandpa for making his opinion heard but is otherwise a peaceful person, it’s not far away to the Gulag. Never in my life could I have imagined that in our modern society where we are told to accept/embrace all versions of sexual behaviours, be frightened of addressing a person with the wrong pronoun, of now having to read about pregnant “people” instead of pregnant “women”, that our climate crisis is imminent etc, but not be permitted to accept/prefer personal choices when it comes to health care and neither be permitted to have our personal feelings about war/politics without being called a racist. where has civility gone, where we used to agree to disagree? It’s gone too far left, 1984 is here. -

12%. Lord knows how much that would be if they sold it here. I've got bottle of St.Bernardus Abt. 12 at 10% for Christmas. That'll make me merry.
