I did something really stupid yesterday and that was posting really pissed off!. Bad idea you end up making yourself look like a complete jack-a**.

So to those I offended yesterday I apologize.

    gimpod,

    Sorry I missed your post. I would love to have been pissed off. the 106" of snow we got this winter was not enough to reassure me that I was still vertical and breathing! :)

    You are a gentleman for apologizing.

    I, for one, appreciate your circuit boards and your contributions to the Forum, and am more than happy to let you indulge yourself with some "reckless" posting.

    Cheers! Onward and upward.

    I've had to work on my communications at work, as some of my emails used to be rather........brusque.

    So now, when I write an email when I'm p1ssed off, I'll save the draft, and then come back to it about 3-4 hours later and edit it down to sane person language. Anything that makes the second cut.......well the recipient had it coming I guess.

    Isn't it crazy that you can just go to a store, in public, and buy weed? I swear they outnumber Starbucks in Denver.

    It's about time that we are slowly admitting it's safer than alcohol and has no real business being illegal, IMO.

    You can't just leave it at that, I'm interested in hearing you elaborate. It is very unlikely that either will change the others mind as I assume that I feel as strongly as you do, I'm just curious and will respect your view.

    Among many other reasons, if one feels the need to escape reality or take part in order to "relax" I'd suggest that one took a wrong turn in their life. In other words, if one can't handle life straight, there are issues at hand that cannot be fixed in that manner.

    You know, cocaine in moderation is fairly benign, perhaps that'll be the next legalized placating of America drug. After all, it used to be legal, so there is precedence. Ah what the heck, let's bring back the opium too. There's really nothing like it for relaxing.

    I used to think that way. You seem to be ignoring the 1 trillion in sales phramaceuticals did last year. Anyway, some people take drugs so they
    can act/feel "normal." Rodney Dangerfield said the only time he felt normal
    is when he smoked pot.

    Too clear the air a bit, I think pot is stupid. It makes you stupid.
    Cocaine is a really stupid drug. Heroin is a really really stupid drug.
    Alcohol is stupid, ect. especially if you are posting. :#

    Well they don't call it dope for nothing.

    As some of you know I'm about as anti-alcohol as you can get also I don't think they should legalize drugs even pot. There was a guy (if he's still alive) who I went to high school with who didn't start smoking pot until his senior year and that's all this guy does is smoke pot, no other drugs but his whole life revolves around pot nothing else matters. Last time I saw the guy he was beyond what you would call burnt and would make a perfect poster child for the anti-dug movement.

    Drugs and Alcohol, just another way to get stupid and avoid responsibility. IMO

    Addicts are addicts. Never mind the drug of choice,
    Booze, pot, all have people who abuse it. A drunk and a pot-head
    are both going to go downhill fast in life. Most Drunks take a bit longer,
    but the end result is the same. If pot was legal, you'd see more casual users.
    The fact it's not means the only people using are the hardcore guys.
    Anybody who wants it gets it. What good is the law other than filling prisons?

    I don't partake of anything stronger than caffeine.
    Do I post things I shouldn't? Sure. Do I say stupid things?
    Every day. Next up- UPS and dropped amps!
