If you know where to look you can get it pretty easy. Each state has varying degrees of punishment for possession and trafficking. Some just give you a fine while other states give you some jail time.

But I don't suppose that many states have policemen actively looking for people who have pot with them. Unless someone reports them.

Oh well. Even if she could follow courses that match her current program and even if it wasn't unattractive financially, I highly doubt she'd be interested in moving to America with me to go and study there. She'd just miss her family and friends too much.

Lol XD

Yeah that's a great alternative for spending time with friends, having a drink, dinner and a laugh together, going out to the beach for a swim etc.

We have some fishes at my parents house. Indeed they don't eat much, but they're kinda boring. Just swimming around aimlessly and they also die quickly.

Perhaps we could get some birds though. I don't think they cost that much and they're quite funny.

I never liked birds. They tend to be noisy at times and all they do is just sit in a cage and are boring as well. I figured fish are cheap and if they die you can batter and fry them up. :P

Fry them up? Ugh, no! Most of them hardly have anything to eat on them anyway, unless you're keeping salmon or something as pets.

Yeah, I was referring to the Nuggets in that part of the convo. :P

Well, they came through and your prediction stands... for now.

A-Rod only one Grand Slam behind Lou Gehrig for the most Grand Slams all time (23). The one that A-Rod hit last night was out of there in any major league park, except Fenway, where he hit is so hard, it's probably only a single.

Still, when you bat at Fenway, it's a different approach at the plate.

It shouldn't be too hard to get a grand slam in New Yankees stadium since right field is a little too close. He might actually tie and break it before the break. Now if you want to talk about a hard place to hit, Petco Park in San Diego is really a pitcher's park.

A-Rod rarely hits Home Runs to right - he's more of a puller and his shots go to left centre, centre and right centre field. That's how powerful he is. Players like Granderson have benefited from the shorter porch, but it's not something that A-Rod exploits routinely.

I wouldn't say so. Every traffic stop if they suspect something suspicious they can look in your car. If they suspect your house has tons of drugs in it, they can get a search warrant. It's not ultra aggressive but it's not like they are turning a blind eye to it.

Hmm. The Dutch article on bock beer cleary says it's a typical 'seasons beer' which is mostly sold during the autumn, and there's also a lighter one for the spring.

Yeah right. Try to tell the "typical german guy" when he can drink his beer and when he can't... :P

I don't know. But I am not surprised you don't find any labels saying "brewed in adherence to the Reinheitsgebot" on beer that has 20% or more... ^^

Wow, in my opinion there's a huge difference between "being racist" and "being homophobic"

You do know Rob Halford is gay, right?

What has Rob to do with it?

If you're insulting someone for being gay, you're pretty much insulting Halford. That's why using gay as an insult is one of the dumbest things to say.

So, if Rob wasn't gay it would be OK as an insult? I must admit I don't quite follow your logic here.

If I say "they look gay" that doesn't mean I'm a homophobic person, nor does it mean I insult any gay people.
But I have to admit that constantly bashing some group as "gay" can sound homophobic. After all you can only judge me by what I write, you know nothing else of me. Because if you would now me in person you'd realize that I'm far from being a racist or a homobhopic person and that I only have a weird sense of humor.
I try not to bash Manowar as being/looking gay in the future.
