People pay 3 times the amount because of the cleanliness of the product. I suppose its the same reason people will pay $10 for a pack of Marlboros versus Lucky Strike, or whatever people
smoke these days. you get the point

I'm no smoker, but my smoker friends say their street stuff is every bit as clean as legal stuff. They're white collar pothead though, so their dealers probably are more reputable?

Not sure about dealers.

One of my largest clients owns in legal and non legal states. They grow, buy, process, etc. They say theres a difference. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it was a snapshot of a link.

I mean if 'multiple guns' were found, legally...

It's when multiple guns are found with 'drugs.' Jails are full of 'violent criminals' who got caught with marijuana, gun makes it a violent crime.

Legalize it, tax it. Pay for schools, safety upgrades, SRO's, and save money expunging stupid marijuna incarcerations.

Think the bottom line is that Nate Oates and Bama has had enough of getting beat up over anything gun related for this kid to have a chance. He sure doesn't have Miller's pedigree.
Jaykwon Walton no longer transferring to Alabama: Police say he had marijuana in car with gun

It's interesting, the different places one arrives due to their assumptions. Also, it's interesting that the narrator proposes a nihilistic philosophy that everything is meaningless (and thus absurd), while also smuggling in the concepts of "best" this or that, and the values of compassion, etc...

In this nihilistic take, it would be interesting to hear him describe why one outcome for life/future/society would be better than any other, after having described the insignificance of the rock we live on, and the things that live on it. And why should compassion be more preferrable than Dommer-esque murder-necrophilia?

If it's all insignificant, does the narrator live that way? As though his wife/husband/kids/parents/friends are ultimately meaningless and without value? Would there be more truth in a video that espoused nihilistic contentedness and then encouraged everyone to unrestrained narcissism?

The message seems to be "Everything is meaningless, and the best one can hope for is to rest assured of that fact while living as though you've created/experienced meaning."

There are other philosophies that could get you to the place of rest while living (and believing) that there is meaning in life--that what you do and who you do it with matters.

Good grief.

That is so very sad.

So glad I know the One who created it all and in Him I find my meaning, purpose and destiny.

Everything is meaningless but be a good human anyway just because! I don’t really know why!

So you find peace in your meaningful sadness?

You don't have to have a reason to be a good human lol. Thinking you need some higher power to give you purpose and meaning or that you even need one at all is pretty myopic.

Just because he doesn’t believe in the story you were indoctrinated in doesn’t mean there is any meaningful sadness.

You’re Christian because you were raised that way. Just like if you were born in another part of the world and indoctrinated into another faith you’d find contentment in that story.

Why do you need a reason to be a good human?

It's likely to be moved to the other thread eventually...but as a Christian myself I've always had issue with the idea of "we'll see them in Heaven" or "mansions made of gold" and all that. Salvation to me isn't for my mortal mind or conscious brain. It's for the soul, and at least to me I don't think the experience of afterlife will be anything like what we experience while alive.

 

[bignewt]

Like anyone else I can get sad. Sad for what befalls the innocent of the world. But inherently I'm a happy, peaceful fellow. Just try and live by the golden rule but I am too aware to be able to accept what others take as truth.

Jesus seemed to think it was for the conscious brain when He assured the thief on the cross.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but assuming that Christians are only Christians because they "were raised that way" is a gross oversimplification and oftentimes not remotely true.

Why bother getting sad for the innocent or following the golden rule? I mean both of those are a hassle so what's the payoff?

I don't think you are all that aware lol. It sounds like you are living a weak approximation of Judeo Christian values. I mean the golden rule is pulled directly from the Bible. And because any principled value is grounded in faith I would imagine you don't have a convincing logical or rational explanation for following those values instead of ones that would be more convenient like pure hedonism.

That assumes that children of atheist families do not convert, that Christian kids don't grow up to believe differently, that people of other cultures don't become Christians, etc... It's a crutch statement that bypasses discussion and debate.

This will get moved, but it is important to note that Christianity is unique in that the Bible promises that God is redeeming both body and soul, and promises a new heaven and a new earth (i.e., a fully redeemed creation, without the curse of sin). Sometimes we over spiritualize Christianity and want to say all fleshly things are wrong, sinful and are going away - but scripture won't let us do that. We need to be careful there, because that risks being the heresy of Gnosticism that plagued the early church. In the risen Christ, we see our own future - soul united to a glorified body, living in eternity. But we still see vestiges of this life - Christ's hands still bear the wounds of the cross, for example.

It is what it is. Luckily I dont have to care what you think.
