WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN!!!???

[Great Spirit]

Yo ok. I am at my grandparents for Christmas dinner. But before I went, I picked up some real good weed. Well, I drove out there with my car because I was planning on just staying there for only a couple hours so I could go and smoke my weed. I am not that much into family get togethers. My stepdad eats with his mouth open and its annoying as hell. And then he decides to sit next to me at the dinner table. Now dude, I love him because he's like my dad but still it just annoys me so much. So I went downstairs to take a nap to get away from the madness that was building.

Here where things get fucking shitty. I wake up and I decide to go home. My parents are still there. Well, my stepdad decided to want to ride home with me. I'm like "what the fuck??!!". That just blew my plans for smoking away. I sucked it up and had to make some changes. My dad was at my stepbrothers' house eating but I didn't want to go over there. So I was stuck so I said I was going to go to my dads anyway and I ran in the house to get my weed and lighter and pipe. I was going for a smoke ride! But I had so much time to kill. I ended up driving for like an hour or 2 just bumming. I had to get gas.

[cygnustaxt]

this thread was a total let down,i thought you killed someone or something.

oh well, there's always other times to get high.

I thought he got killed!

That sucks man, its pretty annoying when that stuff happens, like the other night my parents were gonna go out for dinner then walk around this place thats like, 30min away. So needless to say I had the house to myself for at least 4 hours or so.

Then all the sudden my dads like "hey we decided not to go, were gonna go to sonics" so I went to sonics with them instead.

[timothylearyisdead]

if he got killed i dont think he would post this thread

[Acouwaila]

obviously...i think she was just kidding = )

[weedmaster]

u managed to have your smoke,thats the main thing

[lardman]

:confused: :jointsmile:

[BlueCat]

WTF....You know I got to talk on the phone for only 15 minutes today. You know what my son did today Great spirit? He faught an 18 year old kid that had both his arms blown off today and did not want to be operated on so he proceeded to fight them with his shredded stubs.

He spent the rest of the day harvesting organs from soldiers that were turned off of life support and he spent the day hearing the mothers, little brothers and sisters and dads cry while machines were turned off. You'd think they would at least wait until the day after Christmas!!
Thats really a nice way to spend your Christmas.

I'm sorry but NOTHING HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY! Get over it...

[intrepidus6]

Atleast you actually have some weed to smoke. I have been dry for two months.. except for like one gram I got to smoke last week.

i don't know what is worse,
the comment above or
bluecat not accepting the fact that people revolve themselves around [and therefore complain about] things that are UNIMPORTANT daily.

[Oneironaut]

I agree with BlueCat. If you're biggest problem is that you can't get high until (gasp) tomorrow, then you should be counting your blessings! I thought my life was going kind of shitty, but you know what happened this Christmas? My sister was supposed to get married, but at the last minute found out her fiancé was a convicted pedophile who had sex with 12 year old girls... Suddenly put my shit into perspective; my life seems like paradise in comparison with hers right now.

You only have one shot at life man. This is it. Enjoy the ride while you're still on it. Complaining about boredom or annoyingness is futile; this is the most magnificent opportunity you will ever have. If you've got hardly any real problems, don't complain about the little shit that gets on your nerves. Go out and live life. This is your only chance.

Couldn't have said it better myself!!!


but yer it is a bit annoying sometimes like when ma mum is meant to be going out so i get some weed invite ma gf over then she decides not to go. but thanks to oneironaut this no longer seems worth getting annoyed about. i hope i could stay in the frame of mind forever :(

[green.goddess.]

hey man you got your smoke run.. and you should have enjoyed it more.. its not just endless driving.. its an experience. good music, good people, good vibes, and hotboxing is a wonderful thing. getting gas is always lame and i agree that id rather have a root canal than goto a family gathering.

you should take nature hikes ;] they are just as good as burn runs but more relaxing and cheaper. are you around many wooded areas?

I am fully aware of the fact that people have little things in their life that they complain about. If he had said something like this really bugs me but to title the post WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME...is slightly emo don't you think and for the complaint to be on Christmas day when so many people aren't with their family? Who DOESN'T have a relative that drives them nuts (that might actually make an interesting thread)Yet I'd think for this ONE DAY a year he could chill out AND DEAL WITH IT.

PLUS he even had the weed to chill out with! Sorry but no sympathy here.

[Skink]

BC your lesson was a bit graphic but,,,nonetheless important... Many don't count their blessing tody...

I know I may have been a little harsh...I had just gotten off the phone. so Sorry Great Spirit.

War is graphic tho... I personally think they should have cameras in the hospitals and CASH tents beaming all this violence out for EVERYONE to have to watch as they sit down in their warm and cozy homes to a nice Christmas dinner.

Ha! I wish they'd hack the signal of that stupid yule log and pipe in the TRUTH!! How long would this war last if that happened?

Things have taken a terrible turn BTW if anyone IS interested. I guess because it was Christmas the insurgences set out to kill every American in sight. My son said it WAS just "simple" arm and leg amputations now the ICU is full and it is horrific injuries I won't go into. Several self inflicted to the head. Their Christmas wasn't so good....:(

No offense but if you're gonna complain about that then take it to the politics forum. I mean your son signed up for the army (or navy or whatever), that was his first mistake.

Unless im wrong and he's just a doctor in a war zone.

But if he did then it was his friends and compatriats who blew the arms off of that guy (if i had my arms blown off i would be marginally upset, mostly because people over in the USA are giving each other presents and the americans in iraq are giving people bullets and mutilated, if not dead, family members for xmas) the only way is to stop this stupid war hungry attitude. You deal with murderers here in the usa every day. why is it when a foreigner does it we have to go to their country and blow the fuck out of everything.

they just blew up a police station for no good reason. their reason was so that a rouge police unit didn't start using it. way to go dumbshits.


sorry i hate war and the people involved in it.



now to the original poster of this thread. you got what you wanted right? some time to drive and smoke.

i dont even schedule smoking time when im with my family, one time i brought this dank ass weed with me to cali on thanksgiving last year, well i could never get away from my family, so finally i asked to borrow the rental car, which was a really nice car, and said i was going to the store or something, i ended up driving around socal for a few hours and getting blazed as fuck. i couldn't find anyone to get high with though, i talked to this girl on here who lived in socal right where i was. but she never responded with any contact info.

would've been so cool to meet up with someone and get high. especially a female ;)

[Breukelen advocaat]

Consider the source of this thread: A spoiled middle-class suburban punk with practically no life experiences, an ungrateful leech on his family that takes no responsibility for himself, has no respect for his elders, is incapable of critical thinking, has no self-respect, a paranoid, self-pitying moron with delusions of grandeur that wishes harm to people that he disagrees with - including those have tried to wise him up.

Basically, a very annoying person.

well, i agree with you when you say: NO SYMPATHY HERE...
glad you see my point, and i do think he was overacting... but AMERICANS have learned individualism-- the foundation of us WHINING ABOUT THE SMALLEST THINGS POSSIBLE MAKING THEM UBER IMPORTANT WHILE THEIR PROBLEM REALLY MEANS SHIT IN A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE...

well, good day bluecat!!

SHUT UP SPOILED BRAT

[BlueCat]

Whew I had to count to ten and take a break before responding to you Swirlymass of ignorance. I have to take Breukelen's advice and consider the source. here as well. 1st I really don't give a damn where this thread goes. I will comment as I see fit.

Secondly, yes my son joined, so what. He had 2 friends die in the war. He was working as a surgery technologist and against all advice from me he wanted to help. I wanting him to continue school. I wanted him to go on to medical school but like many Americans he felt helpless and needed to feel he was doing something. Unlike so many spoiled rotten lazy whining little brats that can't seem to find anything contructive to do but bitch about what daddy didn't buy them and how much they hate their moms.

Would you prefer it if he had been drafted? You are damn lucky there are young people out there with strong moral character enough to join. Imagine what this country would look like if during WW1 or WW2 no one had joined. You probably would not be here today. Also the reasons so many young people joined is because they were made to believe their country needed protecting. They were lied to and many of them see that now.

Next this comment: Unless im wrong and he's just a doctor in a war zone.

Yes you are wrong, my son is a trauma surgery specialist and medic.
that said there are no JUST doctors. What the hell does that mean Just a doctor in a war zone?! I honestly don't know what to say to a comment that is so out of touch with reality.

you said:sorry i hate war and the people involved in it.

Well sweety I hate war too but to say you HATE those involved to take it out on the soldiers that are there is just plan stupid and that type of statement makes it really hard for those of us who really speak out against the war. So do us all a favor and STFU.

Bluecat

[SwirlyMass]

Shut up you cow, you can't assume that this war is ANYTHING LIKE WW1 or 2. Is the country threatened by communism? Are nazi's killing millions of people for fun? No some "afgani's" flew some planes into some buildings (supposedly) and now we have invaded iraq, which has absolutly no connection to the 9/11 "attacks".

"Next this comment: Unless im wrong and he's just a doctor in a war zone.

this is a part that kills me, and shows me you just read things once and let the diarrhea flow from your mouth. i was just trying to clarify whether he was enlisted in a us government organization like the army. or if he was just some doctor in a war zone, because you didn't state anything that could inform anyone what the hell you were talking about.

sorry i am so volatile, but i didnt start this i simply gave my opinion on a situation not even directly related to your little bleeding heart post. and then you felt like calling me things.

I'm pretty fucking glad i have enough "moral fiber" to stand up for what I believe in. Simply saying, like you very clearly did just now, that you are without justified morals simply because you dont follow propaganda and run off to grab a gun when someone says "they" want to hurt you and "they" stand for everything we dont just goes to show everyone how narrow minded you are.


finally. get a brain.

Bluecat

Sorry to drag this on even further so i'll be short.


What is war? War is a concept. An ideological reference to a series of events and motivations.

The physical representation of war? People who want to fight or who do fight or who are fighting.

Guess what soldiers are part of. War.
The end.

(I don't think all soldiers are bad, I know several people who have done tours in Iraq and all of them say stuff like "This isn't what we came here for anymore".) I would probably liken "The war on terror" to our "confrontation" with Vietnam.

[Breukelen advocaat]

Just for clarificaton, the was a draft in World War II. 66% of the Armed Forces were draftees.

[Breukelen advocaat]

Bluecat

[SwirlyMass]

shut up swirlymass, you just restated what bluecat said.



but my point still stands! soldiers are just the pawns for corrupt idiots like rumsfeld.

so i don't like soldiers because of their "lets grab a gun and kill somebody" attitude. I've seen it over and over again in my former friends and people my age. people who enlist are
usually pretty brainless, the ones that are normal get put into intelligence positions. if you can be bossed around 24/7 and are just aching to give up all free will you ever had then go run and join the marines. they even give you dumb brutes a gun WOOOHEEE

its like children at school, one kid beats up another kid because some girl told the bully that the kid was doing something she knows the bully will dislike.

[MastaChronic]

when i saw the title i thought, "what happened?"
then i read the first sentence and thought it was a foreshadow about your grandparent/s death.
then i read the rest of it and thought, "oh, hes just complaining about not being able to smoke"

[birdgirl73]

And somehow, even without meaning to, GS managed to stir up controversy even without being present in the subsequent thread discussion. And because it took a political turn, I've moved it to politics, where, if it must, it can stay alive.

SwirlyMass, your insults above would have caused this thread to be deleted from the other area of the forum, and frankly to an objective reader, you seem to have come into this disucssion with a chip on your shoulder. BlueCat didn't complain about anything when she initially posted. She was simply putting GS's whining complaints into perspective. You're the one who actually switched the topic to politics. My impression is that you need to watch your step, and if you feel so deeply offended by the war, you probably need to start threads here in politics rather than coming in and setting off the cycle that ends with flaming people who respond in reasonable fashion to other topics.

[BlueCat]

Hmmm Cow well I happen to like cows..so eww that hurts :rolleyes:

I believe I coined the phase verbal dysentery in this forum and on the political blogs I post to it sounds much better the way I say it :) It really does not fit the way you are trying to use it. Actually it is more appropriately applied to the crap spilled out of Faux News.

I read your poorly written post. You ASSumed my son was a doctor the mistake was yours. I felt no reason to elaborate his position in my post, there was no reason to.

I never said the this war was like WW1 or 2. You missunderstood my point. I said the fact that we have a volunteer military can and has saved your ass. Do you prefer a total draft? You failed to answer that question. People like you are fast to throw out that a soldier chose to join but you never say what the alternative should be. Should we have no volunteer military at all?

you said:Are nazi's killing millions of people for fun? No some "afgani's" flew some planes into some buildings (supposedly) and now we have invaded iraq, which has absolutly no connection to the 9/11 "attacks".

No one in Iraq or Afghanistan is killing anyone FOR FUN. Sorry this is not the little gung-ho kill everybody Army game you have playing in your head.

I have posted here as well as many other places, my objection to this war. I have never ever suggested 9/11 was connected to Iraq it has been just the opposite so you are barking up the wrong tree here little doggy.

It does not matter whether you believe that planes were flown into "some buildings" it was the World Trade Center BTW.

It does not matter at this moment that Bush lied and our country invaded Iraq. I fully believe he will be held accountable.

What matters is stopping the young people that are dying and hating them does absolutely nothing to help anyone. I am sorry but you cannot claim Moral values and use the word HATE. It is an oxymoron isn't it?

The type of talking you are doing makes it harder to get our "hated" troops home and put an end to this war. Is that your goal to let them all die. Should they never be mentioned?

You have not read enough of my posts nor do you know me well enough to call me narrow-minded. Also you tell me to get a brain. Trust me I have a brain and I am very open-minded. I have my degree and I have taught high school. I have lectured on Medieval architecture in college. As well as written several thesis's on the tympanums in Conques France.

What have you got? I honestly think we may be on the same side. I just believe your anger is completely displaced. Don't blame the enlisted for the mistakes of our governement they are not one and the same.

BlueCat

[BlueCat]

Thanks Birdgirl :) still working on your email BTW.

[BlueCat]

Thats not really fair Breu..the draft legislation during the world wars was set up to control the infastructure...they needed certain people to go and others to stay. It was a way to organized who stayed and who went. The draft was not opposed, everyone wanted to join. They were afraid of losing so much manpower at home because so many joined.

The drafting of 18-year olds was desired by the military but vetoed by public opinion. Blacks and Asians were drafted at the same rate as whites. The experience of World War I regarding men needed by industry was particularly unsatisfactory too many skilled mechanics and engineers became privates.

Farmers demanded and were generally given occupational deferments many volunteered anyway...

It can't be compared to what the draft was in vietnam or what it would be today.

[BlueCat]

I agree with BlueCat. If you're biggest problem is that you can't get high until (gasp) tomorrow, then you should be counting your blessings! I thought my life was going kind of shitty, but you know what happened this Christmas? My sister was supposed to get married, but at the last minute found out her fiancé was a convicted pedophile who had sex with 12 year old girls... Suddenly put my shit into perspective; my life seems like paradise in comparison with hers right now.

You only have one shot at life man. This is it. Enjoy the ride while you're still on it. Complaining about boredom or annoyingness is futile; this is the most magnificent opportunity you will ever have. If you've got hardly any real problems, don't complain about the little shit that gets on your nerves. Go out and live life. This is your only chance.

Oh my God Oneir, that is just terrible! Your poor sister. Well the silver linning is she found out before the marriage.

We just had to kick this guy out of our house. We have a big 5 bd house and sometimes we take in people that are trying to get on their feet. My husband and I come from a small town without street people and we live in the city now. It is really hard to see homeless people sleeping in the cold. Our rule is they can't have a prison record unless it is for growing weed because I refuse to see that as a crime. Also they can't be on meth or any of that crap. Not that I don't think these people need help I am just not trained to do it. Well anyway he told me he had been in jail but it was just for weedc...so I said ok.

His Church called me and vouched for him too! I should have known better. He made me uncomfortable so I did some research and he too was a sex offender and had raped a 12 year old. What is it with these creeps and 12 year olds?

You aren't by chance from Washington state are you?

Anyway I hope things get better for you and your sister soon.

Thanks for your post, it is pure wisdom. :D

[medicinal]

I ended up driving for like an hour or 2 just bumming. I had to get gas.I've seen some lame posts on these sites but I think this one tops them all. If you have to hide from your Dad, I wonder if you're 18 and old enough to be on this site anyway. I've read some of your other posts and they seemed somewhat intelligent, What happened?

[Great Spirit]

WTF....You know I got to talk on the phone for only 15 minutes today. You know what my son did today Great spirit? He faught an 18 year old kid that had both his arms blown off today and did not want to be operated on so he proceeded to fight them with his shredded stubs.

He spent the rest of the day harvesting organs from soldiers that were turned off of life support and he spent the day hearing the mothers, little brothers and sisters and dads cry while machines were turned off. You'd think they would at least wait until the day after Christmas!!
Thats really a nice way to spend your Christmas.

I'm sorry but NOTHING HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY! Get over it...I'm sorry to hear about your son, but thats his problem since he decided to be a soldier.

This thread was not even for the Politics section. I am guessing Psycho moved it from the Cannabis Lounge to here.

Its the point that since he never rides with me...he wanted to ride with me right when I wanted to go smoke.

[Hamlet]

Considering this was in the lounge, where people complain about their bunyons, bad haircuts, and momma's snoring, I think maybe everyone might have over-reacted a little.

Something like having to deal with 'Iraq' does put little problems in perspective, but still, who doesn't bitch about the trivial from time to time? Unfortunately, getting it moved to politics escalated it to comparisons with National emergencies.

[Captain Hanks]

Lol. I though it was something significantly a bummer or worse. Sounds like life to me. By the way, had the crappiest day today everyone. I told my dad to pick me up from the beach at the usual spot, and he ends up parking across the street! I actually had to use the crosswalk ;)

[BlueCat]

HAHAHAHA damn thats tough Captain Hanks...

It's ok Great Spirit like I said I had just gotten off the phone...the timing was bad. Your post wasn't really the problem anyway. Its cool :)

[birdgirl73]

I'm the one who moved your thread, GS. It wasn't originally a political thread, but if you'll read back up above, you'll see it turned into a somewhat heated discussion about the war and began generating some langauge that was questionable for the Lounge. So I moved it. This was in no way a move intended to persecute you, but I'm certain you'll believe that it was.

[birdgirl73]

No, no, Billion, if you're referring to your comment about GS needing to stick to railing against Republicans, worry not. Don't think that had anything to do with it. I think the thread just took a turn into a war discussion for a time. Threads sometimes spontaneously move into other subjects, just like conversations. It's a natural evolution.

[SwirlyMass]

Why is it that I always get made out like the asshole? I really try not to be.

In this case it seemed like BlueCat was trash talking G S so I felt like interjecting with my own opinion of her forwardness about what she believes. I mostly did it because I hate it when people seem to be talking like everyone else thinks just like them or talking only to the people who think like them but addressing everyone.

I'm done, I like these forums and I don't want to get banned for like the bagillionth time.

[SwirlyMass]

I guess im just passionate, like all us greeks.
