There are certain ridiculous things that annoy me. Discussion of some may lead me into some serious moral, ethical and philosophical debate. Today I have learnt the consequences of being too controversial, and so I shall try to narrow down any controversial points.
LAWS:
There are certain laws in this country that really grind my gears. Firstly, I cannot stand the fact that some people agree that every law is perfect. We'll start simply with the basics. Murder is illegal. I completely agree with this, obviously. Theft is illegal, obviously. Assault and battery are illegal. I could go on. These laws are there for a reason, because they protect people. The government doesn't wants kid running around with machine guns and machetes because it is just ethically and morally wrong to meddle with peoples lives in such a way. Laws like this I completely agree with, as you would. However, there are some ridiculous ones which make me sick to the back teeth. One of them is the illegality of the usage and supplying of marijuana (cannabis.) Now you'd expect that because I hold this viewpoint that I love weed. In actual fact I don't like it at all. I don't like any illegal drugs cos I think they're all pretentious and shit. Over my dead body will you see me take a drug, excluding things like booze and painkillers etc. I don't like it, but why can't others enjoy it without fear of persecution? Don't get me wrong there are a lot of dickheads that smoke weed; skaggy sketheads who walk around doing it but then again a lot of skaggy sketheads hang around drinking cider, and a lot of educated people have a weakness for booze. Look at Ernest Hemingway. Booze isn't illegal, and cannabis is. What gives? why is this so? The only reason it is is because parliament says so and I don't like that. Booze is legal cos they all the bigwhigs like a good martini now and again. Alcohol is far more dangerous than weed. Weed hasn't ever killed a soul, alcohol has killed hundreds and thousands. It has killed them internally (heart disease or other symptoms from alcoholism) and externally (Maybe they had a bit too much wkd and jumped off a bridge.) If weed can be considered illegal because of the side effects it can have then it is absolutely silly. It has been proven to lead regular users to serious mental illnesses yes, but it barely effects anyone and only by the time you're like 50. Anyway I don't wanna get into a really serious debate about it cos in the end... it doesn't even effect me so I don't even know what I'm on about. Just thought I'd write about things that slightly annoy me and this is the first thing I thought of. By the way, most of the stuff I write shouldn't be taken too seriously...just a heads up. Oh yeah here's a list of stuff people have claimed cannabis can be good for.
Claims have also been made for its use in treating:
- Migraine
- Headaches
- Asthma
- Strokes
- Parkinson's disease
- Alzheimer's disease
- Alcoholism
- Insomnia
-----
What else annoys me? Oh yeah people who don't know about geography and things.
The capital of Australia is Canberra
The capital of Latvia is Riga
The capital of Brazil is Brasilia
In Brazil the main language is Portuguese
Alaska and Hawaii are the last two states to join the USA.
Waves are caused by the moon's gravitational pull.
Indian Americans are called this because Christopher Columbus thought he landed in India. They actually descend from pre-mongolia. In essence, they are more chinese than Indian.
These are all facts that everyone should know. But most people don't and it amazes me.
Also if you can't say hello in 6 different languages, that pisses me off.
I'm bored of writing shite now.
