I understand that marijuana is bad for your health...but aside from that, why are people so against it? When I smoke marijuana I at no time feel like jumping out of a window, driving recklessly, having sex with people I don't know, or shooting my dog.
My friends and I will sit in a living room and laugh and make dinner....I am more likely to do stupider things while I am sober. So....why is marijuana so "bad" to some people???

Can you believe we have people who actually say it was fake. Go to youtube and look at the videos if you don't believe me about 9/11. It makes no sense. Billions of people around the world and in America saw it. The plans flew into the buildings. However there are some who say it was bombs.

Some even believe it was planned by our own government. Why would they do that? I mean get real. Some say that everything was an act. If so, where are the towers then? They just evaporated into thin air. Why would our government want to do something like this. I just don't see that. If so, why are they rebuilding the towers?

9/11 was definatly NOT FAKE. I believe only idiotic, ignorant people think so. I just didn't realize we have so many people around the world who think so. Even in the United States!

So why do people believe that it was fake, and why do many think it was planned by our own American government?

People seem to sterotype in a bad way about Muslim people, when almost always the bad terrorist actions are from Muslim extremists.

It sure feels good to be back in America after a week in the UK. Nothing better than coming home to America after spending a week in a foreign country.

Canada doesn't really count as a foreign country, since going there is sort of like visiting Minnesota......

Would you believe this? (This goes out to smokers only, so if you don't smoke then don't read).
I have just been reading on the internet that officials in California are concerned about the rising number of smokers and that bar and restaurant owners are extending there properties to make smoking zones, to a point where the SZ are far superior to the actual bars and restaurants. God bless the yanks, I knew that they would find a way around this stupid law. And now it's only a matter of time before we do it over here and then we can keep all the non smokers in one place and not be bored silly with there boring conversations and there self righteous views and let this be a lesson to them not to interfere with the people of this country. We don't want dictators here.

This question is obviously addressed to non-Americans.

Even if you have never been to the United States (just like me), I'm sure you have some impressions about it, as American culture spreads around the world more than any other.

When I was a child, there was only one TV channel where I lived, and most of the foreign movies and series were American.
I liked the style of American cities: tall skycrapers and large avenues (yes, we can find large avenues in the city where I live as well).

I like McDonald's and Pizza Hut (I'm not sure that Pizza Hut supplies the best pizzas where I live, though).

I like country music.

I like American English (while I like all accents of English, American English is the one that sounds the best in my ears).

I'm sure that the United States has a lot more to offer, but nothing else comes to mind at the moment...

What I dislike?

Well... The fact that people seem to worth for the money they have...

I refer to the recently removed hilarious question asked by "ploppy". I can only assume some moronic PC humourless students reported it. If you don't like what somebody says then ignore them. Don't go running to teacher you fools. Grow up.

Well it seems terrorists know no bounds. With the news that the recent terror attacks over the weekend were carried out by doctors, I think we should ask ourselves is this a one off or the tip of the ice-berg. If a person who has studied and trained for the best part of a decade can simply throw it all away for religion, then should we be questioning whose hands we put our lives into. How many British patients has that neurologist treated and operated on over his career, scarey thought. Before the online PC soldiers start, I know Harold Shipman was a white Christian, but he was an evil madman, not on a religious crusade. I wouldn't dream of saying all Muslim doctors should be struck off the GMC register, but would it be so wrong to have doubts if your care was placed in the hands of someone who may despise this country and everyone in it.

Oh and don't bother with the racist accusations because I don't think the questions is at all racist.

Even though the U.S. and Canada have a lot of similarities, the U.S. has a much higher crime rate.

Besides Canada has a lower population and strict gun laws, what makes the difference?

Hope you understand my poor English....

I never have, until this morning. Now, I'm hoping each of you who gets one of these scams will respond in kind. Here is what I wrote to my most recent would-be benefactor.

Dear Mr. Wallace K. Kadanga,

You do know this is highly illegal, correct?

I think you are a criminal for keeping this money.

The sum, in its entirety, should be donated to the African Children's Fund. You should be ashamed for taking food out of the mouths of the impoverished, hungry youth on your continent.

While I am well aware that this is a scam and there is no money forthcoming, I would like you to know that if you did forward it to me you would not get one red cent. Neither would I as all the funds would be redirected to charity.

I hope you re-think your life of crime and will rededicate yourself to the service of all the wonderful children in this world, especially those in West Africa.

Most sincerely,

The Beach Saint
