Now that is a pointless and dangerous thread in my opinion, we are an emulation site and worst a public one, i don´t think this sort of talking, even on TotT is to be endorsed.

I agree.
If you are into smoking, then go ahead and smoke, but don't make others want to smoke too.

I think open discussion about this kind of thing should be encouraged. I think that calling it dangerous is a cranky grampa thing to do.

I see what your saying though... I'm sorry if I seem to be advocating drugs.

DONT DO DRUGS KIDS

The article from Tom's Hardware affiliate TwitchGuru that I posted at the beggining of the thread contained the point I wanted to discuss... drugs 'n' gaming. Is it really so prevalent in our gaming culture?

Now that's stupid, saying using drugs isn't dangerous. And don't come with the "you are not modern nor open minded crap.

Again, as with the PS3 thread, no matters if the article comes from a Tom's Hardware affiliate (brand). Just because of it comes from there it doesn't mean is good or right.

You wanted discussion? we are bringing you good discussion, we don't have to agree with you.

I didn't say that the use of drugs isn't dangerous... what I said in your quote was that its discussion should be encouraged and, to continue, the absence of nonbiased factual information is dangerous. People need to know the 'facts' about marijuana, not biased information meant to keep you from using by unjustly demonizing it.

I never said that the article I posted was good or right... wtf is your problem? It was an interesting article that seemed fitting to discuss on my 420th post. Tom's Hardware is a good website with useful information, in my mind that gives it a bit more credibility than Steve's Homepage Rox0rz or some random crap. Not that the article needs to be credible... its one guys opinion on a subject I wanted to discuss. Why do you insist on being such a pain-in-my-posts?

And yeah, I wanted a discussion... I DIDN'T say I wanted anyone to agree with me, so enough of your crap t0rek... noob.

you are calling me noob? that's funny, first you start complaining because we (not modern and super conservative amish people of course) didn't agree with you. First you start your newbie fanboyism and nonsense thread about the PS3 that we all agree is just stupid. And now this fabulous thread about why cannabis is good and the plot that everyone not agreeing with you is just stupid and ignorant argument.

Weed cause healths problems, cause brain cell damage and overall cognitive problems with long time use. That is a scientific fact. Don't come here to tell me and everyone that years of scientific research is fake information and there is a "conspiracy" against cannabis and they are all wrong. If you want to read the facts there's wikipedia and there's google too. I'm not posting articles about it here, I just would never end.

Everyone will agree that you are the newbie here, no discussion is further required for that, your "great" threads already prove that.

If you want your hysterical demand of attention to be satisfied, then this not the place, the thing was already discussed and I don't think everyone will discuss it anymore.

t0rek, as always your (speaka teh engrish) use of the english language amazes me.

But dude, seriously, come on now. Why do your arguments tend to stem from my previous threads? Who gives a shit what I said about the PS3 or the government or music (its fun to look at those old posts... I was so young and full of life, *sigh*).

Everyone will agree that you are the newbie here, no discussion is further required for that, your "great" threads already prove that.

Why do you insist on speaking as if you had the consensus of the entire boards? If anything, even if my threads aren't 'great', they're funny to read on occasion.

I said DONT DO DRUGS KIDS. I'm not advocating the use of drugs. Drugs are BAD, don't do DRUGS. Don't even LOOK at them because you will melt into a puddle of flesh-goop.

Because I use something called common sense and I've been here for years, so I know how the people of the board behave and think in this social environment. For example, the facts of this thread:

1. With your exception, all the people that posted here doesn't currently smoke weed
2. Because of that no body can share with you the experiences about mixing weed and playing videogames.
3. Everybody agrees that weed addiction cause brain cells damage (nothing will happen if you smoke one time for a whole year period for example)
4. Everybody thinks this thread is just dangerous, because of the same reason porn isn't allowed here, there are too many kids around. I know you recently stated the "don't do drugs kids" stuff, but you didn't stated that in your first post.

So, if you smoke weed go ahead and live in your magical marihuana forest, but don't tell us we are old conservative people just because we don't like that forest.
So as I said, no one around seems to share your experiences about smoking weed and videogames, so there's no more discussion.

I'm confused.
tye stik: You say that you're not advocating the use of drugs but you're complaining about the people that tells other people not to use drugs?
Dude, are you stoned?. Probably you are because I don't get the idea of this thread.
What t0rek says is completely true... It is obvious that drugs are dangerous for life: brain and lungs problems, unconsciousness, among many other problems...

I said DONT DO DRUGS KIDS.

Who said that only KIDS could go into drugs because of this thread?

omg. I didn't complain to anyone about anything, man. Show me where I showed any disrespect to people choosing not to do drugs. I have friends who don't smoke up... I don't really smoke weed much myself these days anyway... it dosen't make a difference to me what you personal choice is.

The point of this post: Are drugs and video games a common mix in our society... the answer, NO, according to the ever so lively emutalk community. Thanks to t0reks wonderfully bulleted list of reasons, I've come to believe that this subject is one that has no crout in this forum... I guess I neglected to realize that no one here enjoyed smoking weed and playing video games as much as me in my days.

I also neglected to realize that this forum is full of old people and little kids? Whoa, stepped into the wrong building I guess. Well... I respect some of the old guys here... they helped me in my early emulation days... and the kids, well, I like to help em out when I can. So, is a hopless excentric really out of place here? For comic relief or flameage... for the general degradation of the webs youth... to mend and defend (warning, incoming game)... REBOOT!

Edit:

If your an adult then you should be able to make your own decision despite the views of others.

Is not full of old people and little kids, I would say that in a normal distribution, most people here will be here in the range of 12 to 40 years

I'd like to retract my previous statement... i actually misread what you had typed (I thought you were saying something along the lines of "we're all old conservatives"), my apologies. I would have just edited it, but seeing as you already responded...

Yeah, the age range on emutalk is pretty well distributed... age 12-40 is a pretty good guess.

I'm not calling anyone 'old conservatives', I'm pretty open minded... I respect anyones opinions. I just wanted to hear if people were, as I was, spending a lot of they're time smoking and gaming. Its more of a question of how modern humanity goes about they're daily lives. I suppose a more appropriate question would be "what do you do" but I wanted an answer to a very specific trend of lifestyle.
