Sheesh.... and you say *I'm* fucked up.

FWIW, the question was not about smoking weed in case you forgot.

My own personal opinion, such as it is..... is that weed should be legalized with the *same* age requirements, laws, rules, and regulations that apply to alcohol....and yes that also includes the taxes on it.

No. I think he's saying that you shoving your morals down OUR throats is bad. And it is, quite simply.

I could STEAL 40 grand and sleep happily at night! What do you think about that?! :rastasmoke:

well this is going nowhere, i think the new question is "if you found out someone stole 40,000 from you, would you kill them or not?"

I would turn it in to the police. I found nearly five thousand dollars in an envelope laying in the middle of the local Sears parking lot when I was in high school, turned that in, and ended up getting a four hundred dollar reward. I walked away with a clear conscious and some cash as well. Good deal all around.

id probably keep it. money is hard to come by these days..
but then again. ahh this is a toughy.

It totally depends where I found the 40 grand. If I found it in my home city, I would definitely turn it in, as I would feel guilty as hell if I kept it. However, if I was on vacation somewhere and I found 40 grand, I wouldn't really know what to do with it, so I would end up keeping it, or donating it to a non-profit org, like my fraternity for example, or something for breast cancer or something. I'm not sure. Maybe I'd keep it and pay for the rest of my schooling. I dunno, 40 grand is such a large sum of money.

Hard decision.

I think I'd eventually hand it in.

In most circumstances I would turn it in, don't need a guilty conscience or any ugly payback from the universe, but I'm no saint so I hope I get the opportunity to actually have it happen and see what I'd do.:rastasmoke:
I KNOW if I found a purse or wallet with 40k in it, I'd turn it in. If it was a sack o cash that had been stashed some weird place and I stumble across it I'd be very tempted.

I would just think of the money as a gift from the universe for all the years of shit i had to deal with.

i would take it, and maybe donate like 5k to charity to raise some guilt from my shoulders

Would I turn it in??? hell yeah I would. I like being able to sleep at night.

As for those of you that would keep it, I really feel bad for your parents for the job they -didn't- do when they raised you.

If you're walking around with $40,000 then you're probally rich. Even if you're not rich, walking around with your life savings is the dumbest thing you could do. To LOSE $40,000 you would have to be a complete idiot or a rich bastard.

Now, before you try to tell me my parents didn't raise me right how about you go f..... mmm ok. I thought that comment in particular was uncalled for.

GO smoke A joint :rastasmoke:
