:-s Not sure I understand that.

Perhaps you should be more concerned about why the stupid things that are getting your friends into trouble in the first place.

I've always found Dakta's stuff to be interesting but he tries very hard to skew the figures IMO. That said, it's common knowledge that there's a huge stoner culture over there. Most of what I know about pot I learnt from kiwis and the time I spent over in NZ.

Then they'll end up on welfare, die or end up in jail. It's darwinism at work.

And if you don't become a better person for it??

Dakta quotes Canterbury University.

Govt. research indicates that close to 20% of the population (16-64) are regular users.



Making poor choices, getting into trouble and being a better person for it is a crucial part of growing up.

So? These are people that I care about, and I don't want to see them getting into trouble over stupid things.

Are you referring to Dakta Green's stats or the government's?

aaaaaaannnnnd?

I'm sure when I was 16, we all drove around with our mates who were lucky enough to have their restricted. Boys and girls!

In time you will start to see the broad nature of New Zealand's profound drug culture. Did you know that over 70% of New Zealanders between 15 and 21 have used cannabis at least once?

And when you put the fact that they're 16 year old girls into it, oh, along with this thing called the law...

Just gunna put it out there, smoking pot with leavers and driving home from school with your mates on a restricted license isn't that bad...

Tbh I don't think there's even much of an argument.

I'm sorry if I came across as upset to you, obviously not enough information supplied by me.
And I think that comment is just a tad rich coming from you.

Please provide correct context of current FFT standards regarding retarded arguments.

Shit...you made a post on a forum and then got upset when someone gave their opinion? Quick, somebody alert the authorities!

You'll want to add it to your signature or something then...:p

:lol: This is a retarded argument, even for current FFT standards.

In that case I'll make sure you're aware of all the factors of everything I post, incase you feel the need to voice your opinion on it.

I don't have time to ask everyone for all the details about every story I'm presented with. There just aren't enough hours in the day. Therefore I, and most people, make executive decisions based around the information they're presented with purely on a practicality basis.

I don't feel that everything I say needs a long backstory to it. If you want more information, just ask, don't always assume. Why the fuck would I care that they were leaving at lunch to get something from home if they were allowed to anyway?? Heck, if that was the case I would've joined them.

Your inital statement was that they were trying to be cool by going home to get an ipod charger and smoking weed with drop-outs. Why would we assume that there was more to it than the information you volunteered? Next time you're getting upset, why don't you mention that they're breaking several laws instead of committing acts of civil disobedience?

I've already wondered that, many many times.

Kiwichick, one day you will look back on this and wonder why you ever gave a shit.

Maybe you should've asked, instead of just assuming?

Maybe you should have mentioned that originally? :-"

Did I say that?



The big deal is that this morning a girl got stood down for trying to drive her friend (who was sick) home, as her parents weren't able to get her. We're not allowed out of school at lunch (or any time really), we're not allowed to drive friends from school places in uniform, unless you've signed a special permission form thing, and it's against the law to drive another person your age around on a restricted license, without parental supervision or whatever.

I'm sorry sir, but the fun police demand that you stop doing things for your own enjoyment and to impress others and only do things that are tedious and dull.

Because ipods are cool, duh.

You guys still play with Magic Cards right?

I think it's cool when I wear socks and sandals together.

I only hit post once:lol:

Why is it a big deal that they got an ipod charger?
