alright, so with all the hate, injuries, and low quality stuff in the world - I gotta ask: are you happy with the state of the world today?

I gotta say that there is a lot (and I mean A LOT) of stuff I am very unhappy about in this world, but overall I am happy with the world. Sure, there's always the impending doom that we will all die a horrible death (either by war, local hatrid, or some earthly disaster), but I don't do anything i don't want to do, I live my life the way I want to (and it piss's me off when I get misrepresented), so when i die, well, i had a good run. and all those who are religious - if your not a sinner you're going to heaven when you die so what's the big deal ya know?

as for living: i'm having a blast skiing still, and i'm able to pay for it without losing a day of skiing, so that's great. in culture, sure that's a lot of shit in the pop world, and pop is slowly destroying the good in punk, but there is still quality music being written, you just gotta know where to find it. and ya know, i like the way that computer technology is going with movies... tv on the other hand - well, i can live without tv.

tv is for citiots anyways. but i do understand that there is a problem with this world. it is people who how no opinion of their own. my father literally cannot form his own opinion, and there's no way to get him to understand, so i know first hand, what these people are like).

but now i wanna hear what your thoughts of todays world are: are we living in a good world, or will you be happy when we fall?

Uh, the current president DID get drug possession charges, it was Cocaine. Come on now. He also got a DUI. His daughters tried buying alcohol underage with SS agents right next to them... I didn't bring it up, you did. And no, I don't smoke weed, thank you very much. Why would you assume that I would take credibility away from the president for getting caught with drugs? Thats just like you painted yourself an imaginary picture of me in your head, and stopped listening, and just assumed. Come on. First of all, the president would never get a drug charge even if he was shootin heroin. And i don't expect more out of them than myself, but I expect that much out of them. If you knew me you would think differently, rather than "oh hes just some pot smoking hippy bastard dreamer kid that doesn't know shit bout the 'real' world." So all in all, I'm done with this, there is not a point, we can't go any further because we have already stopped. Hope you can get some enlightenment. Peace.

First of all this is a debate, we don't need to start name calling. Everyone is just sharing views, not arguing. And from reading shit in the 420 forum, I don't that he does smoke weed anymore. I think if you take some time and read what he is saying, and put some thought into it, you would realize he has some good points. As for the president smoking weed, I truely would not care. It's his choice. I would care if it began to affect his decsion making abilities and started fucking things up. And acctually, yes, we can expect more out of the government than ourselves. They control our lives, so I think I can have pretty high expectations. Don't take this the wrong way cody, you're a cool kid, I like you, but I am just stating my views.

People are just naturally pessimists unless they work hard to be otherwise it seems like.
