That's the big problem with government health care and other socialist policies. We end up paying for all of that crap. They use the same argument for seat belt and helmet laws. But shouldn't each person be responsible for the consequences of his own mistakes? Socialism, fascism, corporatism, and all of the other forms of big government eliminate that very responsibility. Then people wonder why people are being irresponsible!

Haha, indeed. Now, I'm not that into to crap on my government, but that's because I'm under 18 and don't pay taxes, yet. So, for us youngsters, it's a hell of an awesome life. Free dentist plan, free medical plan, free this and that. But seeing as I'm not gonna be under 18/not working a big part of my life, I can't see myself living in Sweden anymore, might even move over to the United States, but that's a big maybe. (It's far from home :( Plus that IF you don't succeed in the US, chances are that your life is gonna suck :P), or I might get into politics and become the Prime Minister and then revolutionize the whole system and make Sweden a super power and claim back Norway and Finland mwhuahahahaha :D

But everyone has been brainwashed and sees not our government as a tool to rule our country by our demands, but thinks so low of us that the government is some sort of parent and need to watch over us 24/7.

A mass-surveillance law just passed a few months ago (that allows surveillance of any communication coming in and out of the country) and now another law is about to pass making it legal for CD/Film companies to demand private information from ISPs (Like IP numbers) if they suspect someone to download their material...

Which makes me really scared because it seems like we're going to become... Well... I dunno...

Russia?

it doesn't even matter if it's harmful or not, the point is freedom, you should be free to do whatever you will with your body.

Exactly my point. But then comes the argument that when you're under influence, you might be a threat to society (As a drunkard isn't.. Plus the fact that weed makes you more 'paranoid' of your environment, you'd actually be less of a threat since you'd keep away or drive slower in traffic), but for the heavier drugs, your addiction might be harder to fight and (at least here) the government pays for your treatment, and that's what they all say... "Why can't I be free?" "Cause we then pay for you to get better". Yeah..

I don't what you guys are thinking....this logic seems flawless to me.

It's flawless indeed. I mean, we all know that bananas aren't grown on trees, but a god makes them :)

It'll probably take more than a few thousand years for two populations to diverge into separate species. As long as every human can procreate with every other human, we're all the same species.

Exactly! But how long did it take for the salamander to evolve?
Or, how long would you think it'd take?

General Discussion / Ring Species
November 01, 2008, 11:51:39 AM
Okay, so the ring species is a very strong evidence for evolution, I know that. I don't know where I saw a video about it, but it might have been from Cdk007, Don, Thunderf00t or Shane, don't remember. But I know what it is and I understand the shit.

But I wonder is. How come that hasn't applied to humans? I mean, now, I can understand, travel is very instant, doesn't take time at all to meet our own species at a very different part of the world.

But a couple of thousand years ago, that didn't exist. So, how can it still be possible for an African to mate with an American?

Now, I've been thinking of it, and what I can come up with that. There hasn't been enough time and/or humans moved very quickly from Africa through Asia to America. Am I right?

Another thing is that humans tend to adapt the environment to them instead of the other way around. (Natural Selection that is). I.e building tents, using fur from other animals to keep warm, making fires etc which makes the chance to live much higher so the chance of a new species to emerge would be smaller. Get what I'm saying?

So, Moving fast + fighting nature = No new species. Right? The only change must have been to those who wandered, like, how they survived the weather and climate. But with them moving fast, they stayed as Homo Sapiens.

How accurate am I? Or am I way off?

Oh and, I don't know how long it took for the Ensatina salamanders to evolve. Anyone knows?

Thankful for answers!

You know, this reminds me of another kind of apologetic which pisses me off:
"Lots and lots of people witnessed the resurrection of Jesus, so it really, really happened!"

When has it become enough to just claim that there are witnesses for something?
Witnesses mean jack-shit if you can't interview them, and even then they could lie or they could have been fooled!
Just because somebody is gullible enough to believe that what he saw a stage magician doing is real does not make it so!

General Discussion / Weed! Pot! Whatever!
October 31, 2008, 09:21:58 PM
So, hi guys! I'm pretty new here, but I've watched all the episodes of Bogosity and some other vids by Shane (Love the cloud one ^^)

Anywho, to the topic.

Weed.

I've never tried it, (and I won't say I never will) and I don't know anyone who has tried it, so I can't say I know first-hand about the effects of using weed (Wither it be smoking, drinking or eating). So, I want to know, is there anyone here that has actually used it? Or does any of you guys that has independent research about the effects? (Preferably from Europe or USA).

You see, from what I've seen, heard and read, it seems that cannabis isn't actually harmful. But might cause some cases of paranoia. Don't know how, but if anyone knows, please do tell. Statistics shows that Cannabis is less harmful than alcohol and tobacco.

But the reason I want to know is (This is prolly a tl;dr thing, so you don't have to read it)

//Start tl;dr//

I was at a meeting with politicians from my municipality along with many others. The topic was which age should be appropriate to purchase alcohol. It's 20 here now, from the stores that sell them and at bars/pubs it's 18. But the topic turned it to how kids get alcohol anyways and then went into how kids get drugs.

Apparently, kids from the age of 12 was spotted smoking weed at a train station just on the edge of my municipality. Personally, I think it probably isn't too good for them to smoke the shit, perhaps eat a brownie would be better. But still. They're 12 and want to be cool..

They tried to come up with a solution, and failed. They didn't listen to my suggestion, which was legalization of weed/drugs in general. And when I suggested that;

Holy shit. I was actually accused for "liberal views". And how drugs are bad for you etc etc. Of course I know some drugs are bad for me, that's why I want it legalized? People don't get it, they really should see Shanes video about the War on Drugs. The policy is pretty much the same here in Sweden.

One person on the meeting had apparently worked with people having problems with drugs, and how they acted etc, and I know, some drugs are horrible for you.

But when I tried to explain that drugs such as Cannabis actually isn't harmful in a sense what alcohol does to you, they shut me up and closed their ears and said "Bullshit weed isn't addictive, bullshit it ain't harmful bla bla yackydiyackdy." And I can almost say that I know for a fact that Cannabis isn't addictive, since I've watched a lot of videos about that subject (Though, haven't seen the studies, would like to see some) and the people there that used weed wasn't addicted to it in a sense that we are addicted to tobacco or alcohol. Agreed, some might get addicted in the same way that people are addicted to, let's sat, ice-cream. It's just sooo good you must have it, get it?

//End tl;dr//

However, I want a clear answer now, IS Cannabis REALLY harmful or not? IS it REALLY addictive or not?
Why am I here? What is my purpose? Where did I come from?

I find it fascinating how someone who already buys this stuff cannot see the glaring holes in this kind of argumentation.

Me as well. But that's what blind faith does to ya..

I'm afraid only the video uploader can add subtitles on YouTube.
Then any ideas where I get the movie from???


BitTorrent?

NOTE: Bogosity.TV does not in any way authorize or condone the piracy of copyrighted materials, not even of stupid creationist movies made by dimwitted monotonal C-actors who have never heard of Godwin's Law.

Haha! Funny :)

Haven't seen expelled yet, just Thunderf00ts rebuttal and only that gives me the impression that I shouldn't watch cause my head would just explode because of all the ignorance
