So basically I was walking outside of school one day, and walked up to the town center and found a swing band doing their stuff, you know? Johnny Cash, Frankie Sinatra, all the old swing music and etc, thought it was quite good and above them was a huge banner saying "Say yes to life, say no to drugs". I laughed and walked into McDonalds.

Bought my shake, and walked outside, preceeded to spark up a cigarette.

Soon as this happens, a man walks straight up to me with a nasty look on his face and shoves me a leaflet on LSD. I decide to read to see how much bullshit is in it and how much is truth, I usually do this with stuff like Talktofrank and other "advice companys and such".

God damn it was worse then I thought. Did you know apparently 80% of crime is related to drugs? Or that LSD is the most potent drug of them all? Wow really? And it had people's experiences on drugs, of course I presume all made up because they were all negative.

I mean it's not like anyone has a postive experience on drugs, am I right? It's only a multi-billion dollar industry and estimated to be the most profitable market in the world. Must be all those addicted 16 year old crack whore mums.

But the funniest thing was that this was all produced by the Church of SCIENCETOLOGY! I laughed my arse off and pondered what these wierd little tools of people were doing in the UK. I decisevly walked up to the person who handed my his leaflet, told him to fuck off to the other side of the Pond, blew a puff of smoke in his face and walked off in a huff.

Yea I did over react a bit, but god damn it, I hate anti-drug propoganda, and I hate Sciencetology.

Anyways...

    Keep that shit on your side of the pond, we already have to deal with PETA. More people preaching bullshit will be unbearable.

    Haha. Nobody here really gives a damn 'cept for the occasional idiot that trys to break up all the smokers in front of my school. The teacher's dont really care either, ffs, girls are selling cigs and coke in the bathroom. There's parents sitting in cars outside my highschool waiting to pick their kid up and they dont really care enough to do anything. They all sit around on these oddly large (I dont fucking know, tbh.) rocks in front of the school and smoke anything. Drugs, cigarettes, whatever.
    Ive had two boys come up to me asking to buy cigarettes off me.
    Nobody cares here. Ive never met any of the anti-drug people or seen them before.
    -Not that any of it bothers me. I couldnt give a fuck in all honesty. Its a great excuse to not wear the dresscode pants or w/e. "WELL WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING ME WHEN YOU SHOULD GO BREAK UP THE SMOKERS!?" -nod-
    So yeah.

    But the poor dude attempting to give them out in your case. sad.gif

    But, my brother goes to another highschool then I, and there's always this cop that asks him if he's high.

    Hehe, my only experience with anyone in my school getting discouraged from drugs was when Mason was watching. His RA came in and stood between him and the TV and started in on "Listen, I know you guys all smoke a lot, but shit man, I haven't seen you sober in weeks, and I just thought maybe you should cut it down, it's getting retarded." and Mason's just sitting in his chair, confused and trying to lean around her, whining "I can't see the movie, Er. I'm watching this. This is important." every now and then.

    Anti-drug propaganda wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so in your face and actually had truth in the 'facts' they give you. And yes, Scientology is the biggest crock of shit I have ever seen grace the religious world. I can't believe people are stupid enough to believe it. I'd say <insert religion> is actually better, but 90% of religion is just people trying to control you and everything else in the world.

    ...You're in highschool? You're 12. o.o

    Anti-drug shit is annoying. I choose to be drug-free of my own accord and not because some stupid Scientologist wants me to.

    My school is high on keeping people off of drugs. They have drug dogs and everything. It doesn't stop much though. People smoke on campus and shit anyways.

    Lol Scientologists. It's actually too bad it's expanding at a tremendous rate. Some countries have, though, recognised Scientology's crimes.

    And as far as drugs go, I have to deal with shit like this everytime MADD comes over to our school. Why can't the just stick to being against drunk drivers?

    If you derail this topic I'm gonna backhand you bitch.

    Now either go out and do some drugs and tell me how it goes, or stay the fuck out.

    have to deal with PETA? how about how the rest of the united states has to deal with inbred hillbillies who have nothing better to do than to slaughter innocent animals for sport?/ i can't really begin to understand how you could think abuse to animals is ethical, maybe just going by the "i know it's bad, just don't really care...". and that's your opinion, it's also understandable that you may be too ignorant to ever have any moral values..but try and respect how "the other side of the pond" feels angry.gif

    How do you even know you were researching the right facts when you have the D.A.R.E. acronym wrong?

    Hahahaha. It's funny the kind of shit people will say just to get you not to do drugs. I remember D.A.R.E. and I used to be that little gullible boy who was scared of drugs and promised he would never do them. Scaring little kids only works for a little while wink.gif

    I think it's stupid to try and convince people who are gonna do it anyway. I mean, D.A.R.E works when we're fifth graders, but now? Anyone in highschool(or older o.o) is gonna be "fuck you". My school isn't too big on drugs, we have a few people, but almost everyone drinks/smokes. Some kids have come to school drunk before. And when two kids got caught smoking, all they got was a couple days in ISS.

    And what's wrong with PETA? People Eating Tasty Animals thumbsup.gif

    I'm talking about how they act like vandals. Also, how they act at fishing tournaments. I've been there before, it is by no stretch of the imagination 'fun'

    He wasn't researching DARE, or even the facts that DARE gave him. Rather, he was researching the topics that DARE talked about. And why are you pissing headon into the wind about this? Maybe they have a different program in Vancouver than in the states? Or maybe he just doesn't give a shit about what the acronym stands for? Or maybe it was so long ago that he forgot what it stood for? Stupid point, IMO

    Anyway, that has to be about the worst combination ever lee. Is anyone on this board actually a scientologist? I want to ask someone who actually professes to the faith about it before I seriously knock it.

    I did the same thing with Mormonism, and I actually understand it now, instead of speaking out of ignorance.

    Actually, that article speaks from ignorance. PETA isn't full of vegetarians and 'fur haters'. Sure, there are some in the ranks that are those things, but not all are. Personally, I know two members of PETA that eat meat and wear fur: they just protest the inhumane treatment of animals- like the video that Friz posted a while back of the animals beaten to death for their furs. Really shoddy stuff.

    It's true, we are not polygamists of Satan worshipers happy.gif I think I actually contributed very little to anything you found out about us, though xD I just remember speaking about it briefly.

    And I noticed you said all the experiences on the pamphlet were negative experiences. That makes sense, considering they were anti-drug, it would just be foolish to have testimonials about how good it was. I personally am pretty impartial about pro/anti drug stuff. If people want to use it, it is not really my place to say "OH NOES WE GOTTA STOP 'EM!"

    Well, unless everyone is willing to become a vegetarian and stop interacting with animals in general, PETA's never going to be satisfied. Not everyone who hunts in an "inbred hillbilly", and not every sport(such as fishing or bird watching) is unethical. I'm not saying there isn't the random jerk, but that's a small percent of the hunting/sporting community.

    Yeah, you were somewhat helpful. You did demure saying that you would ask your bishop about a few things though, and I honestly can't remember them now, otherwise I'd yell at you to get some answers tongue.gif

    I'm sorry Red, but did I read that sentence wrong? I'm pretty sure it said he researched all this shit, this referring to what he was told in D.A.R.E. I'm just saying if he doesn't remember the acronym for it, which is pretty damn easy to remember, odds are he does not remember information that was talked about in that class. So researching to disprove what was said in that class is pointless.

    I did look into it though, some people do call it drug awareness resistance education. So my bad on that part, you dont need to get your panties all up in a bundle. Do you remember every damn thing said in a particular class 5 years after you took it? Your just trying to start shit right now IMO.

    I do remember that and I cannot remember what it was about, either xD I DO remember talking to him about it though and I DID get answers, now to just remember the answers...

    And now if I do not feel I am learned enough on a particular subject, I just won't discuss it because I do not want to end up giving any false answers tongue.gif I feel I should've done that several times in the past xD
