Did anyone else notice the presumption that smoking marijuana EQUALS drug abuse?

Somebody needs to beat some sense into that reporter.

Others have already said it: there are plenty of valid reasons to remain seated. Nobody should be punished for expressing an opinion in this way, and "taking names" is clearly a threat (usually followed by actual punishment of the people on the list).

Shionoya is one of the fascist types…

Agree with Spidey.

Perhaps the problem for me is that I have NEVER gotten so drunk I couldn't think. I've gotten drunk enough to lose my lunch on many occasions, but my brain has always functioned well enough that I would take responsibility for my actions (if not my reactions).…

To users, drugs are innocent fun, like alcohol or cigarettes.

That's half accurate: not innocent, but all of those things are drugs.

Currently only 19% of respondents are dangerously anti-American. That's refreshing.

"KKK membership was overwhelmingly Democrat, like most of the South."

The Southern Democrats you speak of are known as Dixiecrats, and they all joined the Republican party when the Civil Rights Movement pissed them off.

You do know that, don't you?

Not to mention that they were welcomed with open…

Most Japanese beer sucks ass anyway, same as most American beer (which actually swallows, so it's worse than Japanese).

The microbrews (or ji-biiru) are the best in both countries. Or... try a beer from another country.

There is nothing like a pint of Guinness draught, or Newcastle (if you drink…

Pivot: he'll be playing an action Einstein.

Watch as he battles Nazis while trying to condense his equation on the chalkboard down to E=M*c^2.

Thrill as he teeters on a cliff edge as he lectures his students about relativity.

I'm afraid I can't take anything you just said seriously. Honestly, you think appointing UN-hating ultra-conservative John R. Bolton is "pandering" to the UN? Are you out of your freaking mind?

Bush's "foreign policy" was made explicitly clear by the people who put him in office. They actually published…

TheNewZen:

Tell me what the "legal limit" is, what their numbers were, how the tests were performed, how much smoke one can normally take in from secondhand, etc.

If you can't do that, then your point is worthless.
