Call in Duke Nukem, Master Chief, Gordon Freeman and Samus. Then run like hell (no pun intended)

What would you do if cold fusion worked?

Well, I'm sorry if that was harsh, you may believe in karma but....well... if you don't get back what you gave and are going to wait for it... I have no control over you, whatever makes you happy, life is the pursuit of happiness after all, the happiest person in this world is a winner

That's okay. I don't expect to get everything I give back, but I do expect to get more out of life by giving.

Researchers say that letting a hot beverage cool off for four minutes can substantially lower the risk of esophageal cancer.

 

According to Bloomberg, a team researching high esophageal cancer rates in northern Iran found that people who drank tea within two minutes of pouring it, or while it was more than 158 degrees Fahrenheit, had an “eightfold increased risk” of developing cancer of the esophagus. The study, which was published in the British Medical Journal, included 571 healthy people and 300 people with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

 

The study’s findings echo what researchers have suspected for years. A 1996 article on tea in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Consumer Magazine said that parts of China, Japan and Iran have higher rates of esophageal cancer, and noted the areas’ tea consumption.

 

The magazine quoted an FDA scientist, Joseph Betz, who said that theories were “bounced back and forth” over whether tea’s polyphenols or “habitual consumption of a very hot beverage” was responsible for the esophageal cancer rates.

 

Sounds scary doesn't it? Let's ban it.

Citation? At any rate, there's a slight difference between hot tea and methamphetamine.

Reality is there is almost certainly no karma,

I guess nirvana is out of the question for a life or two?

Right now I have too do mandatory volunteer work. I think the person that wrote out the curiculum never finished school

The country of Mexico has been tearing itself apart with all of the drug-related violence occurring. The war isn't on some seventeen-year old lighting up a joint, but rather the money he paid that goes through an entire network of people who end up making mass graves in soccer fields because some guy became involved with the wrong people.

 

"The number of bodies pulled from two sets of clandestine graves -- one in the border state of Tamaulipas and the other in Durango state to the southwest -- is climbing toward 300 as violence in Mexico takes an often mind-numbing toll."

On the other hand the country of the netherlands has had athletic and economic prosperity since it's easy on drugs and prostitution reforms...

The Netherlands ≠ Mexico

I'm against legalizing an industry that addicts people to poisons. Why can't companies form monopolies if they want too? Because they'd take advantage of people. Corporations can't be allowed to take advantage of people.

While you are at it, why don't we ban coca cola or cheeseburgers or hot tea too, I mean it kills people and leaves a lot of them injured.

Hot tea?

the only person we could harm physically (Not to say that it can heal/inspire mentally) is ourselves.

Second hand smoke? And what about the families of people who loose someone mentally/physically to drugs? Aren't they harmed too? Drugs take advantage of people's shortsightedness and/or selfishness.

and I am out of it.

I wonder why

Personally I think it's a terrible idea. With the kind of health problems drugs cause, it's encouraging people to poison themselves.

What would you do if cowboys and bandits existed 1000 years ago?

Banned for continuing to deny a scientifically proven fact.

But the link tells the video to start at 169 seconds. So you should probably hear "Sector B. Man I am tripping this morning" (Why is my response such a fail )

"Man I am tripping this morning". Didn't you click the link
