One says what one means, one means what one says. Anything else is fraud. Accommadating inference and innuendo as a form of communication validates subtlety and deceit, and you can extrapolate the rest.
Two points:
A) Having an insight into someone's motives doesn't imply anything about playing accusatory games. That's wasn't my point at all.
B) You think you have a right to be taken at your word? And that people say what they mean and mean what they say? Boy, what have YOU been smoking? I was talking about an enhanced ability to see through other people's rhetoric, NOT imitating them or playing word games or amatuer Freudian psychologist. Geez, gimme a break! Post anything at all positive about any (illegal) drug here on FR and you get the inevitable snide accusations. As if people changing their thought patterns through drugs is gonna turn your world upside down. It's know as freedom of thought.

I have little patience for the use of dope except for medical uses. The only dope poster here who had a legitimate complaint about current dope laws was a guy named heavyd, and he's no longer with us.

The popularization of dope and its related thought and behavior patterns has ruined the American intellectual tradition. The entire world view is idiotic, part Carlos Castaneda, part Jerry Rubin, part grinning idiot. Folks who smoke the stuff, thinking it's something on the level of beer, may as well spend most of their lives in front of the TeeVee. Folks who imagine that there's some sort of insight in the stuff, giving the user the ability "to see around corners," as it were, have been influenced by about thirty-five years of Woodstock thought and ideology, and have nothing in common with the mind set that made the country what it once was. It indicates that a tremendous amount of absurdity and frivolousness has been internalized and constitutes a large portion of the advocate's identity. It's a warning sign to the rest of us.

It is very wide spread, I'll grant you.

Gee, you're not given to hyperbole or anything are you?

Folks who imagine that there's some sort of insight in the stuff ... have nothing in common with the mind set that made the country what it once was.
George Washington smoked it. He had a special plot in his garden where he grew it. It's in his diary. Check it out.

Like I wrote earlier:
"It (doper thinking) indicates that a tremendous amount of absurdity and frivolousness has been internalized and constitutes a large portion of the advocate's identity. It's a warning sign to the rest of us. "

Thanks for the warning. You don't have to smoke the stuff to have that mindset, by the way. It is prevalent in the entertainment and news media, and is portrayed in such a manner that it appears to be normal and harmless, when in fact it is thoughtless and causes others pain and grief.

Thomas Jefferson was a slacker who couldn't put two thoughts together, huh? All these years we've been thinking he was a great American, drafter of supremely important documents......but he was just a simple minded cannabis smoker with a different mindset (than you). You have no idea what you are talking about. Stop now while you still have a shred of dignity and respect. Continue and your ignorance will remain hidden.

So the USA was the result of toking up? I guess you believe that...yawn.... zzz.....hmphf...

Not only is it reprehensible, the facts if known (I wont divulge the particulars because I am a gentleman...) would reveal that this woman did not want to be a mother. She ignored her responsibilities.

As such I decided to leave her but lost custody because in the state of Texas, children of unwed parents - The mother automatically gets custody initially. Unfortunately, thanks to the Clinton administration, fathers have zero rights in many states, unless you want to spend upwards of $50,000 in attorney fees to get custody.

Take that to the bank.

There is a lot more to the story, which is the "particulars" I speak of, which I won't discuss.
