Originally posted by Curse: Because School is government run, the government never teaches about it's mistakes... That's not completely true. I'm taking a [censored]-load of U.S. History courses this year (because I'm hurtin' on social study credits) and one of them is titled "Us And Them" It teaches about intolerism throughout American History. From the Pruitans and witches, U.S. government vs. Native Americans, Prejudices (historically) against Irish, Chinese, Catholic, Japanese, Italian, and now Middle Eastern folks. Not to mention all the other courses I'm taking, which talk a lot about U.S. history (obviously) but in my class we have a lot of debates on decisions made by presidents, laws passed, etc.. Granted, I'm in an accelerated credit program that most kids aren't in. It's still cool to be learning about [censored] like that. [censored] that doesn't get tought and debated like that as in other classes. So I guess it just depends on your teacher(s) or programs you decide to take throughout high school. This has gotten totally off-topic, sorry. Refer back to SolidSnake's posted article about immigrants and drug use.

I was so stunned last yaer when my teacher told me what we did to the japanese during WWII. I can't believe we did the samet hing our enemies did, albet to a lesser degree. My teacher tought from a neutral stand point mostly. I mean, she told us her opinions, but she made sure that we realized they were only opinions. She told us about the good and the bad. Are you takine AP Asteos? that's what I took and i passed the AP test somehow, not really sure how.

I am not saying the government is this reliable source, but I know alot of people that keep spreading these "facts" about weed that they got from their friends. It is like hearing a debate before an election, both sides are lying. It is easier to just stay away from it than give a [censored].

Chem, I've heard about salvia divinorum. It doesn't sound half bad, but make sure you do it when somebody else is around, and do it the right way or it has no effect. Look at this - http://www.drbongs.com/salvia/salvia_divinorum_index.html

I've never spoke out about this topic. Where I live, drugs are very common, so very much so use to it and it's no big deal. I won't say I haven't tried and it's interesting but I grew out of it. Ok once in awhile i'll drink because i'm at a party, don't have to pay hey it's fun... That's very rare, I had a time I would drink more often then i realized it was dumb... Then weed, if you really think of it, it's such a waste of time... What are you escaping? I mean it's like when I sleep, eventully I wake up and realized wow wtf it's already 6, what's going on huh and I feel all was wasted in my daze. Now I just save my money and go movies or food etc. Cigarettes are a different issue, I don't like them, but I smoke once in awhile. It's not taste, to be cool or anything just feels good especially when stressed but I hate how it sucks me in. I can quit and start whenever so eh... Drugs are over rated I guess... People asked me should we legalize weed, well I don't know, I see the pros and cons. Pros is gangs might slowly drop off, won't be as many... That's what happened to the mobs when alcohol was legalized again. Cons are imagine risks of car accidents etc.
Sry was a long one but eh
