In reality, Marijuana is just as bad as tobacco and alcohol, however, Marijuana is proven to be a gateway drug into crack cocaine, heroin, opium, etc. It is also proven that the typical marijuana user smokes until high, not until relaxed. When a person is high, he or she is not fully functional. Most daily alcohol drinkers do not drink to get drunk, they drink until they're relaxed, that is one reason alcohol is legal. Marijuana is unfiltered and will cause lung damage as well as tobacco, however tobacco does not affect how you function while marijuana does (as previously stated). Marijuana also has proven to take a permanent toll on the adolescent brain. It has proven poorer performance on thinking tasks, slower motor skill speed, poor attention span, poor verbal memory, and planning ability. Even with 3 weeks of abstinence of Marijuana, attention span is permanently affected but motor skills, planning ability, and thinking tasks have slightly increased but are still affected. With Marijuana use, the brain is working harder than it should causing stress, shorter life span, and a weaker body in the long run. Though Marijuana has proven to help slow down medical issues, it still only slows down, does not cure the medical issue. Same goes with prescription medicine. Most of them only slow down your issue, not get rid of it. The reason prescription medicines are legal is because your doctor needs to allow you to take it. I'm fine if you use marijuana because your doctor prescribes it to you, however most of the time, that is not the case and Marijuana is abused by many teens and young adults. There is a reason the future of America (and the world) is going downhill. The increased Marijuana use in high school and middle schoolers is one of the main reasons.

Hell no it's not. For example, there was a bus monitor who was bullied by 12 year old kids on the bus. The video is on YouTube and it's viral. Look it up. Also, look up any fight video on YouTube. 9/10, the video takes place in America. Also, you can find so many videos of bystanders not helping someone out.

I consider Athiests hypocrites. Athiests do not have faith/believe in an all powerful being and use science to try and prove their point. My belief is that God exists and the universe is his proof. I may not have experienced God or Jesus or any of the stories in the bible but it's my faith. Athiests supposedly don't have faith/believe in anything however that statement and legal definition is hypocritical. There is no real proof of how the Earth/universe was formed, there are theories. Theories aren't proven yet Athiests believe in them and use them as proof that God doesn't exist however, Athiests don't believe/have faith in anything so their point is invalid and hypocritical.

No point of arguing religion. It's very rare for someone to change their views.

Cross Country is just running. They're athletes but it's not a sport in my opinion. If it was a sport, then the old men you see running 5 minute miles in the morning should be in the olympics then.

Look, I'm a guy and I treat men and women both as equals however, women do have more legal rights and implied rights. An example of a legal right would be, women's car insurance is cheaper then mens car insurance. An example of an implied right would be, it's customary for a guy to hold the door for a woman but a woman not to hold a door for a guy. It's customary for the man to buy the engagement ring. You're supposed to not hit a woman, even if she's hitting you. I watch this fake show called operation repo. Well the girl "Lyndah" is the repo mans daughter. Well when she repos a car, it looks like she is stealing the car because she just opens the door of the car and turns it on and tries to drive away without showing the owner repo papers. Well the male owners tend to try and pull her out of the car but her dad always comes in a tackles them from behind saying "you don't touch a woman like that" even though it looked like she was taking the car. If a woman hits me and it begins to hurt, I'm going to punch her in self defense.

If the Snail is harmful to me or the people around me, then yes I would kill it but if I saw a snail minding it's own business, I'd leave it alone. That's like me saying "If you saw a Dog, would you kill it?" I know so many people who hate dogs but would never kill it. Same goes with snails.

You need a better description. But if a Gay commits murder, they shouldn't be let off the hook simply because he or she has a different sexual preference but if the Gay is sent to prison for the fact of being gay, then that's not right.

That's just a feminist who hates men because of their generalization. They're hypocrites and judge men. When they look at a man, they see a cheater, a womanizer, and a sexist however they are sexist for thinking that. Men and women are equal and should be treated equally.

I say that we should but it's not going to happen. Opinions are the cause of it. For example, when I see black people yelling and screaming at my school, I call them Nggers because they're ignorant black people however I consider a ngger as an ignorant black person just like a redneck is an ignorant southern white man or a chink is an ignorant asian. Some of you are going to argue the use of the word with me, we both get mad, and we end up not getting along. It's not going to happen but I want it to.

He's gay but does that make him weaker or not a superhero? He's still superman. I'd still be confused but I don't judge.

All these shows do is brings 2 people who hate each other in the same room and remind them of why they hate each other, let them fight, have security pull them off without any penalization/lawsuit, then have them leave without even solving their problem.

No doubt but just because something takes training doesn't mean it's a sport. Teaching education takes training yet it's not a sport. Cross Country is all about adrenaline. Most of the other sports is about skill.

If you think about it, with total freedom, people can do whatever they want and not be penalized. With communism, there is one person who can do whatever they want without getting in trouble. A perfect mix of both would be perfect.

Russell Westbrook can easily guard Mario Chalmers and he has the speed to keep up with him, Sepholosha can guard D-Wade and has exceptional defense. Durant can guard LeBron. Perkins is a good post defender and should should shut down Miami's post except for LeBron. Bosh isn't a good post player. Ibaka can protect the rim and can even get a triple double. The Thunder also have a good bench. The only problem with the thunder is that they can't guard the three-point shot so if Battier, Chalmers, and Wade can hit the three, then this will be a good series. The Thunder gets the championship in 5 or 6.

You probably have never tooken the time to listen to Country Music. I like both Country Music and Rock and I could insult both genres. You say that Country Music is meaningless but if you actually took the time to listen to one song, there is always a meaning to a country song. It talks about life as a teen. Rock talks about philosophies but I could also call it meaningless. If you consider Screamo Rock, I could say screamo is just brainless screaming that rips your vocal chords but if you read the lyrics, you'd see it's about life as well. The genre I find the most meaningless is Rap/Hip-Hop. Some Rap is meaningful and talks about life but most of it talks about drugs, alcohol, sex, and degrades women and the black community.

Cell Phones should be permitted in schools as long as the student uses it for emergency or educational purposes such as an online dictionary (if the phone has internet) or other uses in that matter but a students phone should be allowed to be taken away if the phone is used as a distraction in class such as texting.

Without the factors of price, customers, etc, Specialized Restaurants are much better than Buffets.

The food at Buffets is often rushed when being cooked while at specialized restaurants the ingredients are top of the line and is cooked with higher end materials and products that haven't been overused. Let's say the food has not been rushed, Buffets still don't have the high end foods that specialized restaurants have.

The only excuse these ignorant people have with NASCAR to not consider it a sport is that "Driving is easy." These ignorant people, nor many race fans, have never driven a car at 200MPH with other cars around them.

Dale Jr never raced in the Indy 500. I hope you mean the brickyard 500

Cross Country is easy if you're an athlete who actually trains for their sport.

Yes it does meet the legal criteria of a sport however it's simple to most other athletes who actually train. I've never done cross country in my life but I still run a 6 minute mile and I play basketball and football. I know many soccer players who instantly jumped into cross country without ever running in a meet. In my opinion, a sport should be something that it takes a year to be decent at while actually training for that specific sport.

So is Theatre but that's all scripted. WWE does real stunts but everything is scripted.

I don't really know how to answer this question because the WWE is scripted so I'll base it on how I interpret this question. I interpret this question as being "Who is better in the WWE".

The reason I said John Cena is because he is the biggest money-maker the WWE has. If I went out in public and asked "Have you heard of The Miz", no one would know who that is. If I went out in public and asked "Do you know who John Cena is?" 9/10 someone is going to know who he is from either WWE, rapping, movies, etc. John Cena is also the better role model out in the public so it keeps bringing in younger WWE fans and brings more money.

I like how Charles Barkley put it. "Just because I dunk a Basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids." The media makes it out that celebrities should be role models. Parents should be role models to their kids.

I think McDonalds tastes very good but no doubt about it, the ingredients they put in it is gross in my opinion but that goes with other fast food chains and even other people's houses. Look at the nutritional information on their website. The burgers have the amount of fat that you're supposed to eat in one day. Just imagine buying one of those frozen burgers at a grocery store, cooking it and using lard as your condiments.

I believe the NBA believes in the 3 strike rule. Malace at the Palace was 1 strike. Elbow to Harden was 2 strikes. Now they're waiting for the 3rd. As long as Artest/World Peace is on CNN, that's his next strike because he won't be on it for something good. He attacked a fan and instigated more fights in the crowd. Stephen Jackson punched a random guy in the audience who was helping to pull World Peace off of the guy who threw beer on Artest. Artest clearly hit Harden in the elbow. My first reaction when I back into someone without expecting it is to turn around and look to see what it is, not swing my elbows. And Artest didn't even look at Harden when he elbowed him. He just kept running until he heard a whistle from the reft.

No doubt a good balance of both is the best way to lose weight. But the reason I say dieting is better than exercise is because I can exercise as much as I want but if I eat as much as I want, I can still gain weight.

Boobs is not a valid reason girls are the best. Fat guys have boobs. The pretty figure is just an opinion. Guys can multi-task as well. Cooking is a learned trait. Dressing is also opinion. Singing with a high pitch voice doesn't mean it's good and Dancing doesn't include shaking your butt like a stripper. Gay guys are the same as straight guys, they just have a different sexual preference. I'm not saying guys or girls are better than another race but I'd prefer to be a make due to the fact that we don't have to breast feed, we don't have to give birth, we don't have to hold a baby for 9 months and watch our diet while holding a baby.

RoadRunner no doubt. He has yet to be caught by Wil-E-Cayote. Sonic has been caught several times but escapes.

Real Christmas tree is only better because the fun is picking out a tree as a family and chopping it down yourself. However a plastic tree is better if you want to save money.

In my opinion, I believe that tipping is mandatory if you're paid in commission. If you think about it, these people are paid depending on how generous a person is. When you're paid on commission, you have to work much harder for your paycheck as opposed to working at a huge shopping chain like wal-mart where you can hide behind a rack of clothes for 7 hours and still get a nice paycheck.

The olympics is a good form of entertainment as well as unite countries together and can even form friendships. Also, with the amount of fans watching, the money is made back.

Dirk is a better person and shooter, Lebron is a better overall player but overconfident, cocky person.

I hate those kind of coaches but definitely unfair. I normally hear of these incidents in mens sports. I'm a guy but I was lucky enough to have an understanding coach who plays everyone equal minutes.

Do you want to see an old man or woman naked? Do you guys want to see another guys wang? Do you girls want to see another girls targets and bullseye?

Nickelodeon has had a bad effect on children. I love the show Drake and Josh but they make the nerd uncool (Josh) and they make the bad boy cool (Drake) but at least Drake learns his lesson at the end of the day. But the worst show is iCarly. I didn't know that shows rated Y7 are allowed to use the world "boob". They also make fun of people and Sam (a character on the show) is extremely violent.

You'll be sad when school comes back up again. It's boring in the beginning but you learn to appreciate it at the end of the summer break.

Your body needs food for energy. Your body runs on energy. Food turns into energy for the body. Eat or die a slow death.

Yes. Tobacco is harmful to human health and statistics show.

Yes. In professional sports, if a team is not winning, then most of the time, they are not making money. In sports in general, fans come back because a team wins. Winning does matter. Sports is a competition. It wouldn't be sports if both teams didn't care about winning.

The reason these athletes are paid as much as they have is because they are the money makers of their business whether it is basketball, football, soccer, etc. If you think about it, the highest paid NBA player is paid about $24 million. The highest paid WNBA player is paid $800k. The reason is that the fans of the NBA are significantly greater than the WNBA. There is a reason for that. NBA players entertain while WNBA opens itself up for criticism. Being in the sports business is just like working for a company who only pays commission.
