because if he ever got into a position of power we would all be fucked...
on a side note, i do like the new Google Chrome as it tells me whenever I make a spelling mistake, but doesn't tell me how to fix it....
it also doesn't recognise the word google..... |
I hate it when people see me at the supermarket and they are like:
Hey, what are you doing here?
and im just like:
Oh you know, hunting elephants |

I don't give a crap if this is an umbrella statement. CAN being an important word. And lets be honest, people can get addicted to just about anything that's even remotely pleasurable. Cigarettes, heroin, gambling, sex, eating, alcohol, shopping, video games, you fucking name it. Just because something can be addictive does not mean that thing should be illegal. . I just think anything that will seriously harm you or effect you in a negative way is bad. I can't really say it should be illegal, because I personally don't care anymore. I don't do drugs, unless they are prescribed by my doctor. Even with that, I hate taking drugs. Ex: When I had my temporary acute insomnia back in March/April. The drug I was taking made me moody and I lost my appetite, causing me to lose a lot of my weight. Even lost hair (which was unusual). Eating can do you harm. Hell, you should see the side effects for the meds I've been on throughout 2010, citalopram. Reading that an anti-depressant has a slight risk of increasing the chance of suicide is some shit that makes you a bit on edge. Among many other side-effects. Yeah, I can totally see not doing illegal drugs. I don't smoke, I drink alcohol relatively rarely, maybe on 20 occasions over an average year, and I've never taken an illegal drug. It's not really for me. But I have plenty good friends who do. And I think ultimately what one person does to themself is entirely their own business. The idea of criminalising them just angers me. And yeah AJ, rince is right (despite the cheek!), you've not seen my economic policies (somewhere between Marx and Kropotkin haha)! Besides, I'd be pretty much unelectable. I'll settle for getting involved behind the scenes, assuming that university takes me in next summer. |

Why do English people say "Going to Hospital." instead of "Going to THE hospital?" |

I was also just wondering if it was just a way of speaking that you have created or if it was just some dumb people on a few documentaries. P.s.

Anyway I'm not really interested in getting into an argument over a half joking comment. |

Also Jeff who? if you knew me then you'd realise that I'm a pretty big fan of the US, not the political side or anything but definitely the entertainment side of things but I'm also proud to be British, I love the little nuances of British people. |

Seriously you an American is complaining about the English language. Do you really want to tug at that thread? Indeed. Colour, not color. Pavement, not sidewalk. It's a fucking boot, not a trunk. If people from Blighty say it then it is right 8-) No but seriously, language is constantly evolving. American English is different from English English, in the same way that Scots is different from English. Scots has just had a few hundred more years to evolve than Yank. Give it enough time and it will be a seperate language. Dunno what I mean by Scots? Well, let me go to another board and post a quote from a friend who types in Scots "Right gents a've solved the mystery, turns oot no every lassie is utter filth on Facebook and rather it's where they leave their handbags. Great news if yi plan on turning ower their hooses..." |
