And if I were a US citizen every little aspect I wonder regarding europeans, it was not going to be very nice at all.

Daily Show is where I turn for real news...ironically, that is about the only place you can get it these days. PRECISELY. And it's funny as hell to hear Bill O'Reilly talk about Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert when it is quite clear that he is dumber than both of them. They say it appeals to stoners and drop outs. What a fucking idiot! |

What a fucking idiot! Actually, if you watch Bill O'Reilly after tokin a smoke you won't stop laughing. Just like those late great Marijuana commercials... "Hey look at my gun, isn't it cool" *shoots self in head* Got me on the floor everytime. |

I can't smoke at school, but my friend and I smoked together and we would talk about the anti-marijuana campaign. Did you ever see the video that's in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"? When they say pot makes people rape other people? It was hysterical. But yes, I do know what you mean. |
