Hah. I guess its harder to get a joke across over the internet. I'm actually not white, and I happen to be a gay male who on occasion enjoys putting on women's clothes. In fact, because I'm Indian ("brown-skinned") and my name is Mohammed, I get a lot of crap at airports. Does anyone know what its like when a security person at an airport asks if you are muslim? (I'm an atheist who was raised muslim) How many people here know whats its like to lie everytime you donate blood because practicing homosexuals are barred from giving blood?

I made that comment because I've lived in California for four years, and the amount of jokes white people make dealing with the number of Asians living on the West Coast (especially the bay area in SF) is ridiculous, and no offense to any of the white people here, but I know for a fact that a lot of people who move from the midwest or the South are taken aback by the number of minorities living there. Thats it. :)

-laughs- I read this as sarcasm. Coming from a gay black man living on the west coast, playfully mocking the jaded culture of the mid-west and the sound. But, reading it the way you guys have read it, I suppose it is more likely to have come from some stupid racist and homophobic 50 year old bald man

Damnit, I was minutes too late at posting that. I posted that before I read what he said. So I was close!

OSU has a vet school, so lots of zoology here.

Oregon, They have some heavy hitting weed sativa with all that moisture out there.

Veterinary medicine and zoology are not the same thing. Have you considered Colorado? If you want nature and outdoor recreation this is the place. As for zoology both Colorado State and University of Colorado offer degrees. We have medical Marijuana and even if you don't get a script having and .oz or less is a petty offence with a maximum fine of $100. Hell there's a good chance in a little while here, having an .oz or less will be legal in Denver if you're 21. Here's a link for zoology schools and the medical marijuana law is as follows:

Colorado
SUMMARY: Fifty-four percent of voters approved Amendment 20 on November 7, 2000, which amends the stateâ??s constitution to recognize the medical use of marijuana. The law took effect on June 1, 2001. It removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess written documentation from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and advising that they "might benefit from the medical use of marijuana." (Patients must possess this documentation prior to an arrest.) Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; chronic nervous system disorders; epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures; glaucoma; HIV or AIDS; multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity ; and nausea . Other conditions are subject to approval by the Colorado Board of Health. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess no more than two ounces of usable marijuana, and may cultivate no more than six marijuana plants. The law establishes a confidential state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients. Patients who do not join the registry or possess greater amounts of marijuana than allowed by law may argue the "affirmative defense of medical necessity" if they are arrested on marijuana charges. To date, approximately 700 cards have been issues to registered patients.
