We've already covered the introduction of substances to developing minds, the key here is that the mind is still developing, if it is alcohol coke meth or any other such things the mind will not develop as it normally would have
Read it again. The quotes relate to 'drug taking' and 'illegal drug taking' - that includes cannabis, which is an illegal drug that she takes daily. [not the only one I know]. I don't have any evidence that cannabis could cause what she did other than that her long term use of it has altered her cognitive abilities and as one of the quotes says 'she knew what she was doing but she didn’t know that her actions were wrong' - fits in with her having some issues with 'right and wrong' - decision making. To be clear I am in no way saying cannabis alone made her do it, as the sensational headline leads us to believe, rather it too played a part.
I know a guy who was sharp as a whip. Still is one of the most intelligent guys I know. He grows and smoke around 2 ounces of weed a week, uses a vaporiser to smoke it and is basically weed obsessed. When you speak to him, he sounds like Goldar from the Power Rangers if he was recorded in slow motion. He is now completely A-sexual, whether he was always going to be, or whether Weed has just killed his libido I will never know. But Weed has definitely affected this guy.
ok 1. who is goldar 2. are you sure he's intelligent or is your judgement affected? or WAS intelligent? 3. a sexual? as in impotent?
This is goldar,imaging him talking at half the speed Definitely intelligent, he is a network specialist who helped set up the Blizzard server for World of Warcraft and he currently works at EA (Electronic Arts), who make The Battlefield games, all the sports games, Mass Effect series, etc, and he gets paid a **** load. A-Sexual as in has NO interest in sex whatsoever, with women OR men. Just doesn't interest him at all. I have spent the last 3 years trying to nudge some sort of sexual preference out of him, to no avail, he just isn't interested.
lol nah, have known him since I was about 7 years old. He lives in Ireland now too. Oh and I am married.....and not gay
Would be much easier if I was gay tbh, but I like Boobies too much, and the curve of a mans ass just doesn't do anything for me. On another topic. Homosexuality. Its my contention that male homosexuals are genetically pre-disposed to attraction toward same sex individuals, where as Female homosexuals, are mostly man hating, scorned, bullshit talking, posturing, tards, who choose to be "gay". Discuss
Neither group can be painted with a single brush, they are not movements with a fixed ideology they are an assortment of individuals with different opinions. I'd imagine most lesbians are not men hating at all.
Aye. There is scientific evidence in men that the male chromosome and testosterone are decreasing in every generation, leading to a higher percentage of gay males than ever before. However, there is no scientific evidence for female homosexuality, it just seems to be a choice. Dont you also find it odd how such a large percentage of "Gay" women seem to flit back and forth between being straight and gay?
Now that bit is interesting because there is stuff out there about how gay feminist groups are turning women away from men, these women later find out it's a ****ing con and go back to men. Not saying this encompasses all who drift between sexualities but it is certainly a problem.
Indeed the stats are interesting. I read somewhere that 84% of women who self identify as lesbians have had adult sexual experiences with men. Where as only 17% of men who identify as Gay have had sexual experiences with women as an adult.
Interesting that, never knew. I might be castigated for this, but I wasn wondering if numbers of gay men was relative to population, as in nature's own population control. Probably not, just thinking out loud. This would obviously suggest men are born gay. "There is scientific evidence in men that the male chromosome and testosterone are decreasing in every generation, leading to a higher percentage of gay males than ever before." I read something years back about the levels of oestrogen in water, causes infertility, could it be increased female populations cause male infertility and even gay men. A way of nature to control a local population. Of course I could be talking cack here, again just thinking out loud. Here is an article on eostrogen in our water. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-105466/Fertility-timebomb-drinking-water.html
Thank you. I've taken cannibas, and would probably take it again when I retire from my job. I only once smoked it in my teens though, and it was in my 20's that I used it on a monthly/quarterly basis. And I once did eat half an ounce because my then girlfriend was the one who rolled them, and she was away, and my spliffs simply went up like paper lanterns. ****ing scary - I went into convulsions and ended up butting the toilet as i tried to throw up. But otherwise, pleasant experiences. I remember listening to a Talking Heads album thinking it all made perfect sense, and once watched the fighter scene in Top Gun with my heart pounding and sweat pouring off me. in truth, I've had many, many worse experiences on alcohol (which I drank in large measures from 14 years old) and speed. Coke was too expensive (and overrated, in truth) when i was a lad... But again i say, I am NOT advocating banning cannibas, but easy access for teenagers to use in development with a cocktail of other drugs and alcohol just doesn't lead to a good outcome, and we have to get out of this nonsensical love affair with weed that it's some sort of harmless stimulant, one step up from sugar and as good for you as vitamin C. It isn't. And nor are copious amounts of alcohol harmless either, especially in developing youths.
I'm reminded of a quote by the late, great Gore Vidal: there are no such things as homosexuals and hetrosexuals:; there are only homosexual and hetrosexual acts.
Virginia TV journalists shot dead on air in attack staged by former colleague Alison Parker and Adam Ward killed during live broadcast by suspected gunman Vester Lee Flanagan, who posted own video of shooting before killing himself please log in to view this image Virginia shooting shows desperate need for gun control, says White House Two local TV reporters were shot dead in the midst of a live broadcast in Virginia on Wednesday, the victims of an attack perpetrated by a disgruntled former colleague. The shooting occurred around 6.45am local time, in Moneta, near Roanoke, and appeared to have been carefully orchestrated to construct a horrific spectacle that would play out live on TV. Reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were broadcasting a live interview with an official from the local chamber of commerce when there was the sudden sound of gunfire and screams. The camera tumbled to the ground, and producers at the local WDBJ7 news station cut off the broadcast, switching to a shocked-looking anchor in the studio. It later emerged that both Parker and Ward died at the scene. The gunman also shot their interviewee, Vicki Gardner, the executive director of the Smith Mountain Lake regional chamber of commerce. Gardner survived and is in stable condition after surgery. The suspect, Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, was a former TV reporter at WDBJ7, who broadcast under the on-air name Bryce Williams. He died several hours after shooting himself. By then Flanagan had posted on the internet his own video of the attack, apparently shot with a GoPro-style camera. Flanagan, who is black, and claimed racially toned grievances against his former employer, also faxed a 23-page document to ABC News in which he made bizarre references to mass shootings. He connected the atrocity in Roanoke to the recent shooting by a white supremacist at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina. “Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15 …,” Flanagan wrote in the document, according to ABC News. “What sent me over the top was the church shooting.” At a press conference later on Wednesday, Franklin County sheriff Bill Overton said it was too early to conclude any specific motives behind the killings and said investigators were in possession of the document faxed to ABC as well as a cascade of social media postings published by the suspect before and after the attack. Franklin County sheriff Bill Overton holds press conference and confirms death of Vester Lee Flanagan. Link to video “It is obvious that this gentleman was disturbed in some way, the ways things had transpired at some point in his life,” he said. “It would appear that things were spiralling out of control.” Overton told reporters that Flanagan fled the scene of the shooting in a gray Chevrolet Sonic, sparking a manhunt that culminated, four hours later, near Washington DC. Around 11am, a Virginia state police patrol car equipped with a license plate reader identified Flanagan’s vehicle on the Interstate 66 in Fauquier County. After a brief pursuit, Flanagan shot himself. He died in hospital two hours later. Flanagan had driven some 200 miles from the lakeside resort where he is suspected of killing his former colleagues, around four hours earlier live on TV. He apparently posted messages and video on Twitter and Facebook either immediately before or during his journey north. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#all/14f6d7318d4ea53e
He was a classic psychotic break. Most all he said in videos he posted was bull and his real target was revenge for losing his job I think.
