Ever played Half Life, Swami? Someone get this man a copy. God, it'd be kick ass to have you and Shroomism on my server to play with/against!! It'd be so cool to see what style of combat each of you would employ.

Damn.. you got some psychic abilities..I've been trying to get a pirated version of half life to work all morning.. to no avail. Guess I'll have to go buy it But DOD (Day of Defeat.. half life mod) is my thing. I've only played counterstrike like twice.

and you put too much fertilizer in an effort to grow super pot, and you kill off the plants, was it the fertilizer that killed them?
Clearly, yes.

So all that talk of ethics and service-to-others is total bullshit, eh? I discontinued developing games due to piracy.

Well my server is vanilla valve Half Life. I like it cause it's just like the single-player game. I tweaked it so you can also fight monsters from the SP game like zombies, gargantua, grunts etc. I would like to try some mods sometime as well. This is going to make you laugh, but I had a dream with you in it the other night. We were both vampires battling each other on rooftops. Somehow you ended up in a church and died in a pew. When you died your body changed into that of Darryl Hall from Hall and Oates. (I couldn't make this up). Don't ask me why. But then I realized we were only playing a video game and you had more lives. Sorry for going off topic. I have something on-topic for you, Swami just as soon as my beloved Saints put away Tampa Bay. *crosses fingers*

Yeah yeah yeah... the money machine keeps on rolling Considering there's like 6 versions of it, and I've already payed for two of them, and they got destroyed in a flood, I figured why not try and download it. Service to others would allow people who already payed for it with hard earned money to upgrade for free. But it's all about money, and that's spiritual right?

Swami said: "My nonsensemeter has been pegged off the scale here lately. I am not talking humor, but beliefs in fantastical things with no foundation."
I have to say that I've noticed the same thing lately, I've been seeing posts that I can not agree with at all because they are based on knowledge derived from assumptions that cannot be verified scientifically, and from illogical conclusions that are often misled by fantasy.

I love the spiritual circumventing of ethics using convoluted rationalization. Theft is taking something not directly offered to you by the owner / creator.

Okay, then. But I think it is pretty clear that the fertilizer killed them because there was too much fertilizer, and who was the one who administered the fertilizer?
Okay, now my analogy just sounds dumb.
Raise your hand if you didn't understand what I was implying. 
No hard feelings, man. I'm crazy, you're crazy, we're all crazy. Peace.

This is a law of nature. You let a thread run long enough, and it all comes back to copyright laws. They are the Alpha and the Omega. Peace.

After five pages of replies, I want to know what people now think on the subject, truthfully, now that we have had some back and forth. Let's reach some sort of understanding. Myself, I know that under the wrong circumstances, drugs can certainly not help. But I think they have potential of really helping some of us along....... and that if others were brought to change some, that it would also help them out. Peace.

I don't use the types of drugs that others, here, use, because they make me feel funny.
I use Adderall and I drink wine at night. I use Adderall to think more clearly, because my brain feels foggy. I don't feel, however, that Adderall helps me to think of things I wouldn't have thought of if I hadn't been taking Adderall.
I drink wine at night to shut my brain off, not to make it work better.
Now, I also look at people who use various types of drugs, who say those drugs help them to think better. Who am I to say that they're wrong?
I have to give an example, to help me make my point: My friend smokes a hell of a lot of pot. One hit would put me to bed. She claims that the pot makes her think better. Makes her brain more clear. She sure doesn't act stoned. She has a good job working as an accountant.
Just because the types of drugs my friend uses, are the type that make me feel funny, doesn't mean that they don't work for her.
See, because of being ADHD, I have done a lot of research and my general "thinking" about how the brain works, based on all that reading, is that everyone's brains work differently. MOst people can probably do just fine without any drugs whatsoever. Some people's brains are not wired correctly for various reasons and even though they can function without the drugs, certain drugs help certain brains.
Not everyone will benefit from taking Adderall. But I certainly don't benefit from smoking pot or taking psychedelics. I don't see how anyone else does, since they don't help me, but just because they don't help me doesn't mean they don't help someone else.

Facts:
1. People burn-out, have bad trips, do stupid things, exacerbate mental illness, become detached from consensus reality and occasionally die on psychedelics(even mushrooms).
2. Most people on these boards have tried some psychedelics.
3. Much of the logic on these boards is weak, faulty or non-existent.
Speculation:
1. Psychedelics inspire creation. Evidence?
2. Psychedelics create new ways of thinking. Evidence?
3. Psychedelics increase intelligence. Evidence?
--------------------
The proof is in the pudding.
