^Yup, agreed - there are plenty of important tasks carried out by programmers. Medical devices, aircraft, weapons systems, etc., all require competent programmers to prevent potentially lethal oopsies.

 

"mari-juana is everywhere... wheredid-juana"

 

i disagreee that it is a gateway drug. It is most often referenced as being a gateway drug because people who do more serious drugs (ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, etc) started on marijuana. This is a really false pretense. Who is one to speculate that they would not have gone on to harder drugs if marijuana were not available? People ofthat personality who are using harder drugs would most likely have gone on to those drugs with or without marijuana. Holy shit I just had such dijavu while writing this!

 

First thing is first. The statement was not meant to belittle anyone

 

nobody is talking about smoking pot while on the job. same goes for drinking alcohol. People for the most part don't drink while at work, in the morning etc. We are talking about smoking in general. May a little smoke after your hard day at work. Maybe on weekends. You get my drift? Oh and that weeded out comment was funny as hell!

 

They don't? Wow, I must be in the lucky minority.

"Beer. It's not just for breakfast anymore."

 

haha...your avatar fits perfectly

 

Being the pillar of the community that I am, I will take the 5th on this.....

 

If only you knew...

 

So can I hear from somebody who does not smoke but has in the past and given it up? Why did you give it up? Expense? Fear of jail? Got bored with it? Had kids?
