Free Republic

pinging you on this. Haven’t been on FR for some time but I watched this stupid show tonight and thought you might be interested.

I can't believe I just wasted 1 hour watching this ridiculous hit piece. There was not ONE SECOND of an opposing view voiced during this whole show.

It's my own fault. What else should I have expected from ABC.

I don't know. The first time I actually got stoned was the fifth or sixth time I smoked it. The first few times it didn't seem to have any effect on me. But that first experience, I was absolutely ripped. I was also about 14 at the time and I think it may affect younger people more severely. I don't really smoke anymore, but if I do it doesn't effect me nearly as bad.

I found that the older I got coupled with knowing how it'd feel and what to expect definitely lessened the effect. I also think it effects certain personality types different. If you're more laid back, you'll just go with it and enjoy it. If not, you'll become paranoid and freak out. Kind of like how some people enjoy roller coasters and some hate it.

When I first read this, I thought it was from the Onion and was laughing. Now that I realize it's a real (well, not really) news story I don't know whether to laugh or cry at how ridiculous people are nowadays.

I've been shot with a mid power bb gun (say, 500 fps) at about 10-15 yards and it didn't break the skin. It did, however, hurt like hell and left a large black and blue. A bb is definitely bigger than what comes out of this gun and it's travelling at relatively the same rate of speed. You'd be in more danger getting punched in the face than shot by this little gun.

Any of those lovely ladies can strip search me anytime!

OMG! Look at the size of those bombs!

They said the money came from a grant from the C.D.C. I sure hope none of that money is taxpayer money.

I've just about had it with this nanny state garbage. This article has gotten me hungry for some artery-clogging "evil" food. I'm going to Rutt's Hutt after work for some rippers (hot dogs) and a cold beer.

For those not from "joisey" (I hate that phrase, BTW), Rutt's Hutt is a famous hot dog stand here in North jersey where they deep fry their hot dogs. Their ain't nothing better in the world.

Settle down there Hatteras. You guys haven't won anything yet. I thought you canes fans would have learned that from 2002 but I guess not.

I give your team credit, they're good. But you've got no business talking smack about the Devs yet. Call me in a decade or after winning three cups. Which ever comes first.

I don't know, I knew some guys in "high" school (pun intended) who smoked constantly. I think they got so used to it that it didn't even effect them anymore.

Yeah, it is some message. Actually act like a conservative, or you don't get my vote. I'm a conservative before I'm Republican. If the pary is basically the same as the democrats, I will not vote for them.

There is one other republican in the primary. John P. Ginty. You'd have thought NJ Republicans would have learned their lesson from what happened with Brett Schundler in 2001.

I will hold my nose no more. I refuse to be taken advantage by NJ's country club RINO republicans. Voting for them will get you nowhere. If we have to hit rock bottom before we can come back to take NJ with real CONSERVATIVE politicans instead of RINO's, so be it.

At least a democrat won't be a wolf in sheep's clothing (NY Mayor Bloomberg). I won't vote for them just because they're members of the republican party. A message needs to be sent.

Go Devs!

My Picks:
Devs over Canes in 6
Ottawa over Buffalo in 7
Colorado over Anaheim in 6
San Jose over Edmonton in 6

Needless to say that for me as a HUGE Devils fan all is right with the world and today is a beautiful day!

I have a good many friends, as well as my brother, who are Ranger fans. I don't feel too sorry for them because I know if the shoe was on the other foot they'd be giving me hell.

It's great for the sport to have the area abuzz with hockey after last year's lockout and it's good to have a heated rivaly with someone other than the Flyers for a change.

Go Devils!

Here in the swamps of Jersey we've got two atlantic division winners, The Nets and The Devils. Go Devs!!!

Ahh the 760 pumpmaster. You're bringing back fond childhood memories. Although I was always a little partial to my brother's 2100 classic.

There's one coming in spring 2007. Now I won't have to drive to Hamburg, PA which is about 2 hours from me (North Jersey). Now I can drive 20 minutes and be at my favorite store!

I avoid Modell's and all other big chain stores which pander to anti-gun liberals by not selling firearms.

I don't have a problem with marijuana and would legalize it in a heartbeat. But it is funny to me that some people who are health nazis are pro marijuana and anti tobacco. Seems pretty hypocritial to me.

Smokers, both tobacco and marijuana, should stick together and fight these intrusive, nanny state, health-nazi laws and sin taxes that punish smokers for making an individual choice to smoke.
