Grand Theft Auto: Sim City

If you could write a Superman story what would it be about?

I'd rewrite the character to not be so lame.

@Gekidami

I think he is way cooler than most superheroes, and he's a better person

@The Patriarch

Issue i have with Superman is that he's OP, and being OP is lame.

@Gekidami

Not sure if serious, or elaborate wordplay. Either way you're right. If I could write a superman story, it would be about batman.

I need to stop biting my nails. Throw some advice at me

Keep a habanero pepper in your pocked, and develop a habit of rubbing it vigorously whenever your hands are idle.

Bump me to the bottom!

down down down it is the only way

That's fine, you don't want people doing drugs because you don't want a junkie holding you up for their next dime bag. I won't sit here and pretend like the right to do drugs is some divine natural right, but I do think that people should be able to take any action, as long as it doesn't hurt other people. Shrooms don't make me want to go harm people, the risk that I'll become a mushroom crazed junkie is there, I'm sure, but then-- with most things there's a risk that maybe one day I just snap and decide to fuck with people. Does consuming psilcybin increase that risk? Probably. But it doesn't make the action taken against the welfare of others certain. I would rather exist free with an increased risk for personal harm than willingly trade away some of my freedoms for a security that isn't even promised.

Agreed on all points. The only trouble is that our current reality doesn't allow personal risk to be personal. That's a whole other (much more imporant) can of worms. Drug enforcement is a band-aid that protects me from some morons, and not others, while leftists dick around with the notion of social responsibility. Once we can hold a person accountable for *themselves* and *only* themselves, we don't need the band-aid anymore, and we get rid of it, because unnecessary authority is super bad for everyone. There's smart people using 'ILLEEEEEGUL' drugs responsibly -- the way I see it, if you can do drugs and not get caught, you're probably one of the ones I don't need to be worrying about. So go for it. Some doors get closed on you, employment-wise -- which isn't fair, but it's part of the math you should be doing before you smoke. But if that's what you wanna do, and you aren't affecting anyone (totally doable), more power to ya. I mean it. Lick that toad, eat that flower, live your life however you damn well please. It's yours. We really need to get back to a place where that means something to the government. edit: It's not just about getting held up though. That junkie is gonna wanna clean up someday and he doesn't have the money to go to rehab. But he needs the help, you know? So *obviously* the government should be helping him, right, to become a productive citizen again! What could be more justified? Then they'll take money out of my pocket and subsidize my mugger's medical bills.

Meth is bad, yeah, but that doesn't mean it should be illegal. Like at all-- a hard drug user isn't going in without knowing what they're doing is bad for them.

@Darcs

If the rest of us weren't on the hook for the drug user's medical treatment, and all the extra law enforcement costs (cops, legal fees, etc) associated with the statistically inevitable consequences of that hard drug use -- then sure. As it stands, if you consider it the government's job to let me do whatever the fuck I want, then they have to enforce a modicum of common sense on the small outlier-percentage of people who are too stupid to stay out of my way. And as long as I need the feds to do that, I need them to take it seriously as hell. In a perfect world, you shoot up with whatever you want and it doesn't bother me in the least. I'd love to be there. Until there's a way to eliminate my liability for someone else's bad decisions, then it's in my interest to keep them from making bad decisions. And that's why my government has to regulate drugs.

Your Political Ideology

so are you pro-government or believe in less government?

@The Patriarch

I am pro-government doing the things a government should do.

@UltikanaRe

I'm something like that. A totalitarian/libertarian crossbreed, which is fucked up, I know, but hey. There are a couple of things that a government (and only a government) should do, and they should be done hard.

I'm loving this bio option

There's some more cool shit coming, too. Mahz is bringing some pretty awesome features.
