    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    Yeah, because your experiences are obviously the same ones that everyone else has. Other people couldn't possibly have had different experiences that made drug use worthwhile for them. Of course they aren't. No kid does drugs because they think that drugs are "cool." They use drugs because...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    Propaganda? Please. I can discount much on that site. Not all side effects occur for everyone or every dose. They go away after the high. Amphetamine psychosis is very uncommon. You have to binge for days to get it, with ridiculous amounts of amphetamine. Amphetamines are bad when overdosed...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    I'm sorry, but that's an imbecilic comparison. Are you suggesting that consuming (smoking/snorting/injecting) an inanimate and non-conscious substance is as bad as inflicting permanent emotional and mental scars on a child by raping him/her? I mean, really... I've seen weak arguments and straw...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    Drugs are nothing like child molesters. Drugs don't rape children, friend. I find it absolutely insulting that my recreational and spiritual use of certain substances would be equated with the rape of children.

    Perception of Violent Music

    I agree with Danisty on this one. Their unstable state makes them more likely to enjoy violence and violence-related activites.

    Perception of Violent Music

    Violent music is not an inherent threat to anyone or anything. There is no reason to believe that it is. Simply hearing violent phrases does not cause people to do violent things. If this were the case, all of the novels I've read would have me stark raving mad, bashing anything in reach...

    How much consciousness is a mosquito/rat/frog/dog possessed of?

    My only problem with this is that we have only finite experience out of a possible infinite number of experiences. We could develop a computer that would be self conscious (it certainly wouldn't be binary). At least, that is what I would contend. I see no reason why a non biological matrix...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    What drug did your husband become addicted to? The reason I take the risk with the few drugs I use that are addictive is because I have found my use of these drugs to be beneficial to my well-being and happiness. Because I research each drug exhaustively before I use it, I minimize the risk of...

    How much consciousness is a mosquito/rat/frog/dog possessed of?

    Do you have a source for that or did you just pull it from nowhere? I certainly don't believe that, and I'm a non-creationist. I can conceive of incredibly intelligent beings with little or no consciousness, though not incredibly conscious beings with little intelligent. As a neuroscientist...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    Marijuana can be used daily, if you wish it. It has about as much addictive potential as a food you really enjoy. It is not physically addictive like heroin, and is much less psychologically addictive than cocaine. The only way you can get addicted to cannabis is by using it as a bandaid...

    What Was the First Religion?

    Good point, PW. I think that it would be logical for the first extension of self-entity to a non-self-entity would be the extension from a living being to a dead one (seeing as how only just before it died it was alive and conscious). It may very well have snowballed from there, or, in some...

    How much consciousness is a mosquito/rat/frog/dog possessed of?

    Come now, not only does that posit that a species of animal can be "evil," but all animals have some level of consciousness. Whether or not this consciousness is self-consciousness matters little, as long as an awareness of the environment exists. When this awareness begins to extend beyond...

    Then we can never come to a consensus, because I believe that it will. Shall we agree to disagree?

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    Heroin can be used safely once or twice a month without risking addiction. First, you would be required to go to classes to learn what heroin is, what it does, how it can go wrong, how to deal with the possibility of addiction, etc. When you finally complete these classes, you can buy the...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    I figured your use of "small" to be sarcastic, my bad. There are small differences, just like there are differences between cannabis and mushrooms. By the way, violence as a psychological effect of drugs? Which drug are you talking about? Paranoia? Why, the only one I know of that causes...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    You are fooling yourself. Tobacco and alcohol are drugs just like any other. In fact, evidence shows that tobacco causes the same physical brain alterations that long term cocaine use does. Alcohol causes ridiculous damage to the brain and body, and is very addictive. Indeed, alcohol...

    Should Kids Be Encouraged To Experiment With Sex and Drugs?

    Victor, I am not advocating willy-nilly use of crack and heroin. Indeed, quite the opposite. In my ideal model of legalization, crack and heroin use would definately be much less used than today, because of the requirements for getting a personal use license. Meanwhile, much healthier drugs...
