I don't think I'll be actively boycotting the Olympics but I'll probably neglect watching them (aside from kayaking- my uncle won gold and bronze for 1000-meter and 500-meter K2 respectively in Los Angeles, '84). Summer Olympics have never really interested me.

Alright then - What's your favourite apparatus for smoking? Papers, pipes, vapourisers, bongs, waterbongs, hookahs, apples, pop cans, dugouts? Call me old fashioned but I'll always love papers, usually with a filter popped into the end to cool the smoke down a little. The tastiest thing I've...

I'm going to two festivals this summer. Pemberton Festival, tickets $360 for non-locals, is free for me. I don't know how this worked out so well for me but it's going to be amazing. The Under the Volcano festival should be 10-20 bucks but as a volunteer I get free entrance, food and drinks, as...

Packed a few bowls tonight at a party and, unlike the drinkers, I didn't start breaking bottles and puking blood. Hey, right-wing propagandists, tell me again how I'm the one making a dick out of myself.

Is it weird that I've heard of almost all of these bands? - Rio Bent - Melody Unwinding - You Say Party! We Say Die! - Uh Huh Her - An Horse - Cocorosie - Meg & Dia - Soko They get quite a bit more popular towards the end, but those are just off the top of my head.

I might call this the overstatement of the century. Twilight is a fun series, yeah, but in NO way does it compare to novels like Fall On Your Knees (Anne Marie-Macdonald) or Independence Day (Richard Ford) or even Anne Rice, as much disdain I have for her books. Stephanie Meyers is an all...

I think marijuana is a perfectly safe drug when used responsibly - basically, not putting yourself in a position where you'll be driving, swimming, etc. It's almost impossible to overdose on pot, you need to smoke twice your bodyweight or something ridiculous (1:40000, where one will get you...

First off, it is clinched. Second? That may be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Clinton and Obama have essentially the same policies. Voting McCain simply because you don't like the Democratic leader completely defeats the purpose of having a vote. Go for a third-party who...

Yeah, that one was explained with in the episode - it would be kind of hard to miss that!

that_girl1 + great action shot. A lot of concert photos tend to look flat but this one really captures movement - the frame is a little busy. Perhaps a closer crop on the musicians? for adorable_crazy, a closer/tighter crop of the bird

Wolfesgamergirl + As Amy said, good composition - The subject is obvious but being out of focus the picture is rather flat. Amy777 + Love this. The composition is spot on and the detail and bokeh are perfect. - I suppose the crop is a little tight, but it hardly takes away from the picture...

Wolfesgamergirl + I like the concept. Cutting off the plate works well and your eye slides around the photo easily - Spoon and fork are both cut off and watch the focus - none of its completely crisp but the water (?) drops on the plate are more clear than the utensils. Another abstract - the...

Amy777 + I love the vivid colours, and the gradient from red to pink to orange (peeking through in the background) is very pleasing. - I wish that the two tulips (center and bottom right) hadn't been cut off I posted this a while back but didn't get any feed back -

Hilarious episode, and I totally agree with everyone who said it watched like an X-Files episode. I love the call-out to physicists with the character names ... Planck and Bohr jumped out at me. I can't remember if there were any others. A definite A+ on this one.

I'll put it this way then, every single addict or ex-addict I know, and I know a fair few, began using out of desperation. I'm not talking about the 60s and 70s, I'm talking about now. By saying that you don't judge individuals and continuing to say that the majority of addicts do it from...

An addict doesn't need to reach rock bottom. By then it's taken over their life and it's way harder to make them understand how destructive their behaviour is. Most of the time, addicts don't realise when they've hit rock bottom. Now - early, from as much as I know - is the time to get Dourdan...

Adzix, I still disagree with you. Have you met any heroin addicts? Have you met any cokeheads, meth heads, or e-tards? I do. Stupidity isn't what got them into it, it was a lack of information and circumstances beyond their control that led them to feel so insanely useless and disgusting that...

And I suggest glancing here, here here, and here. You realise that site comes from a wine vender, so you have to realise they've got a terrible bias. Yes, some studies have found that alcohol can help prevent stroke, heart attack, diabetes and dementia, but some studies have also found that as...

I'm sorry, but you can't lump pot in with coke and meth. That's really upsetting. I would rather that CBS forced Dourdan into mandatory drug counsellings and maintained his spot on the show rather than just firing him. Talk about fueling a habit. Drug users do not deserved to be abandoned at...

It seems to me that a lot of people here who believe in God were born into a religious family. Do any of you guys think that you'd believe if you were born into an atheist family? I've come across very few religious people who's parents aren't equally if not more religious. In fact, I can only...
