no offense taken, not personal, it's a strong view, so hope you didn't fully misunderstand or take offense either....

and I think the corruption youre referring to is a bit off of the capital punishment for civil crimes i was talking about. I still believe in democracy, martial crimes under dictatorship sucks, but that doesn't mean our justice system can't incorporate harsher penalties. We still have death penalties in some states, just not all and prefer rehabilitation and non-lethal types of punishment.

I just think the death penalty should be used more often. But then the problem becomes proving guilt, etc etc which involves more lawyer grease and a collapse of our failed judicial system, but i am referring to the ones that are proven guilty?

Meh, I didn't say my comments were flawless, still, doesn't mean I don't believe in the concept.

i'm drunk right now, so no offense meant, but regarding china and it's crime rate, you can't forget governmental/corporate corruption in that place. It's pretty fucking brutal. They will fucking take your land right from under you and then plop that cherry on top by snuffing you out if you try to fight back. There was some british shit-eating cocksuckers (deadwood influence) that were barely able to film a documentary in China about just that - corrupt local governments will forcibly remove you from your land that you most rightfully own to make way for whatever big-business sees fit to use that piece of parcel. And if you don't shutup and take it like a man, you go bye bye. Is that "capital punishment"?

And I didn't go vote - sorry ryan. I had the prior engagement of gettin this here kinda drunk. I blame propagandhi! They told me it doesnt make a difference, and seeing as that fit into my current like of thinking, I reckoned I'd follow by example. Plus I ain't got cable, so no "Rock the Vote" inticin' done come my way. My most sincere apologies.

P the fuck S - Why the fuck is it blogger don't ever wanna publish posts at this here hour. It will fucking loop the "publishing post 0%" till I done grown goddamned fuckin hair on my palms. SORRY for the fuckin' language.

I'll have to agree and disagree somewhat - carrying an ounce or 4 ounces is not the issue, by legalizing it means legalizing the buying which is not addressing the main problem. The lucrative business is still growing and selling. Unless you legalize growing and make it so it's ubiqitous, by legalizing marijuana just increases the fluidity and profitability of the drug trade.

So I agree with you man, but we have to go 1 step further, be like amsterdam, be able to grow your own shit too.

OFF TOPIC...
Joe-crack should be shot.
Joe-rapist should be shot.
Joe-killer should be shot.

... and their families made to pay for the bullet (to save cost on our system) I am a firm believer in capital punishment. No joke, dr. jones. Prime example being China and Singapore. Notice the non-existent crime rate?

As long as I am
Not a crack addict
Not a rapist
Not a killer.

then i won't be shot. See the correlation? It's a bit harsh, but we live in a harsh place.

I'm fairly interested to see how the Marijuana proposition/initiative goes on this ballot. It is essentially a decriminalization of 1oz or less of pot, which I'm all for. It failed last year after the squares figured out just how much pot 4 ounces really was. Hehe.. but I think the 1oz initiative/prop this year has a very good chance of passing. It's about time we start realizing that locking up non violent drug offenders (SIXTY PERCENT OF OUR CURRENT PRISON POP) is absolutely rediculous and solves nothing.. plus it displaces (read: lets them out early) non-mandatory sentencing criminals like.. oh.. say.. rapists and sexual predators. Just so we can keep Joe Pothead locked up (or Jimi Cracksmoker, if you prefer).

Whatever. This country is so damned backwards on social issues. Sigh.

I apologize in advance if the Republicans stay in power. I've been voting Green for the past few years. It's my fault Bush is president.

Oh, and if I can't create a work of art comparable to THIS, my life will have been completely meaningless.

Please, everyone vote tomorrow.

1. Take a few minutes (that is all it really takes, honestly) to familiarize yourself with the Proposition issues and vote.

2. It would be nice to have the democrats take back control of the House of Representatives.

But, either way, get out there. Seriously. No excuses. Don't be lazy.

Quote of the day...

When they say, "Democrats will raise taxes," you say, "We have to, because some asshole spent all the money in the world cutting Paris Hilton's taxes and not killing Osama bin Laden." In just six years the national debt has doubled. You can't keep spending money you don't take in, that's not even elementary economics, that's just called "Don't be Michael Jackson."

Yeah I really wanna see Borat but I haven't been to the movies in honestly like 2 years. I love movies, but I just don't have the drive or patience anymore to sit in a theater. I told Eric he had to watch Borat in the theater with me or no more ASL ever. It might work!

You GOTTA see the Ali G show. The british version is a lot funnier than the US version - but both are good. Most of the skits are on youtube and shit like that, the other characters are Bruno and Ali G - all funny. Yeah, I didn't even see Batman Begins in theater and I really liked that movie.

This weekend was epic Deadwood marathonage. I watched ALL of season 2 on saturday and I've gotten thru about half of season three today. OMG. I'll prolly get in another 2 episodes before I sleep. Then when it's all done, I will have an empty place in my <3

Jon, saw Borat today. Funny shit! I was dying during that fight scene... and also the frat guy scene. WAY good.

My favorite was the national anthem... and the theatre was PACKED!

"I support your War of Terror!"

Borat = hilarious. Oh my God, it's just wrong all over. It's basically a Humanity Point generator. You guys have to see this if you haven't already.

There's this bit where he gets in a fight with his producer that is... good Lord. One of the most WRONG things I've ever seen. So tempting to say more... but I'll resist.

Makes me want to go back and check out the show. I've never seen any of the Ali G business, I've heard it's hilarious.

Jon wins 2 internets for having the best avatar.

Sorry you can't make it up Aeryk. We'll see you at GenCon anyway.

Is anyone besides me playing board games these days? The at game spreadsheet is becoming a lonely place.

Ya i friggin cheated and looked it up on the nets :( I was all excited that I had psychic powers or something! :( Thanks for solving the clues in time though!

I feels smart in my pink wig and moustache!

There are only a few numbers (like probably 10) that the expression can work out to. For example, if you pick 82, it works out to 72 (82-(8+2)).

If you pick 83, it works out to 83-(8+3) = 72.

If you pick 84, it works out to... you got it... 72.

Another possible number is 9. For example all the numbers 10-19 work out to 9.

So there are only a few numbers that it can work out to, right? So how's it guess the symbol? If you look at the chart you'll see that the possible numbers have the same symbol every time. It's just that the symbol that is assigned to that group of numbers changes.

So if you launch the puzzle twice, and look at the 9 and the 72 each time, you'll see what I'm talkin' about.

Ok, someone please explain this to me.

It's worked twice for me, but I'm gonna try it again. Basically you think of a 2 digit number, then add those two numbers together and subtract it from the orginal 2 digit one, then you look at an icon representing that number on a grid - and it figures it out - I'm confused.
