True. Cigarettes and alcoholic are much more addictive and more lethal than marijuana.

Kinda. While the smoke does have more carcinogens than tabacco, the THC actually has anti-carcinogens. Coupled with the fact that pot smokers tend to smoke much less than tabacco users, it's actually better for your health.

What you eat while high may not be, however.

Also, voting in Alston was pretty easy.

You had a choice between President, Senator, and the 3 Questions.

Everyone else was a Dem running unopposed.

However, I WAS going to vote when I got off work this AM, but the line stretching the WHOLE block by the Boston Public Library discouraged me.

1- No
2- Yes
3- Yes

Happy decriminalization of pot day, Massholes!

I was worried smokes would be $25 a pack.

And... no line whatsoever at the polling station when I got back from work tonight. Yay for procrastination!

People are still cheering and honking their horns in Davis Square. Feels like World Series '04, except this time the entire world won.

Wait....normal everday typical taxpayers can't marry now?

Just like how back in the day, all people of the same race could marry. Why'd we get rid of that?..that was equal.

Oh I know; I've seen enough of your posts to know you're not an idiot. I was just using your post as a springboard to a pre-emptive strike against amor or someone giving it a "QFT"

Cliff Note version: Saying gay people shouldn't get married is just as ignorant/retarded/dumb/bigoted as saying people of different races shouldn't marry.

I don't understand people who are against gay marriage. What does it hurt exactly? I've heard gbaji say that tax breaks are given to married couples to faciliate/reward/whatever procreation, but marriages with a sterile person are still valid.

You said "no special rights for you" like they're asking for something extra. They're only asking for exactly what every straight American is able to have: the ability to marry the person they've fallen in love with. What special rights are they asking for?

Every argument that is used today against gay marriage (save the procreation thing) was used against interracial marriage in the past. What's so scary about it to you guys?

Do you honestly believe that marriage is some sacred thing that can be tarnished by allowing gays to marry? Sorry, but that's only your close minded view.

Gay people are no different from you and me. So what if they choose to love a person of the same sex. How is that SO bad? It's not unnatural; male geese frequently engage in sexual/quasi-romantic relationships with other male geese, as do many other animals.

Seriously? I'd say it was the gay community's fault for an entrenched resistance to more and more special rights.

If pro-gay marriage advocates weren't so vociferous in their determination to jam their beliefs down our throats and could guarantee that those of us who believe gay marriage is wrong wouldn't be subjected to those beliefs, then maybe it'd be different. But ever since the '80's with ACT-UP, gays insisting on being flamboyant during things like St. Patrick Day parades, etc etc etc, the whole, "I here, I'm *****, deal with it!" and "Loud, proud, love to drink man-chowd" attitude ticks most typical heteros off. Apparently you can't be gay and just... normal. They have to be in your face and that grates on most people.

Like I have said before, I personally have no trouble with gays. Just don't be so publically and flamobyantly... gay. Ease up. Relax. Fit in with heteros. That's all.

Look at it this way: You guys get all pissed off when these supposed Christians jam their beliefs down your throat. Well, gays do the same thing, just with more color coordination and better shoes, heh. Like I said, ease up and relax.
