True, I'd have to agree with that. Why, are you a pothead, too?

Bill probably thinks pot is a gateway drug, orders of magnitude more
dangerous than booze.

Why do you suppose that? Loogy, the former Atl_man, the former

lies now. As to the pot, my opinion is legalize and tax most drugs.
If you steal to support your habit, you get an extension to your
sentence. If you can afford the drugs and not be a burden on society,
it's freedom of choice. I graduated from San Francisco State
University, so knew lots of people who used pot. I do not use any
drugs, as I get sick with most prescription painkillers, and I do not
smoke. Earn a lot of money from smoking as Altria has done very well
for me. Better than RTN and your other choices.



You do seem to attach a certain stigma or evil to pot, though, which is
silly, since it's really no worse for the body than booze, assuming both
are abused to a certain level. And, it's pretty rare that people steal
to get money for pot.


I sort of dropped out of this discussion, which I initiated. How did it
devolve into an argument about pot?


I steered it off a cliff after billy bob said "Better than a pothead".
Since I love words, I see "pothead" and wonder why people never say
"bourbon head" or "vodka head". It's always more than just a term learned
by habit. It's a belief based on who-knows-what.


Potheads may even be a grower. A couple of times experimenting does not
normally lead to growing a few plants. Alcoholism is also bad. But alcohol
is legal in this country, pot isn't. Major difference there. My feelings
are legalize most drugs and tax them.

Would 'booze hound' be the equivalent? Or just, 'a drunk'?

Maybe, but people like Bill use "pothead" to describe anyone who uses
pot.
"Booze hound" or "drunk" are more commonly used to describe someone
whose
use of alcohol has reached the point of habitual abuse. There are
people who
partake of marijuana at levels similar to someone who has a glass of
wine
once or twice a week. Nobody would call those people drunks, although
they
might GET a little drunk from that glass of wine under certain
conditions.

Oh. I didn't realize Bill was expanding the term 'pothead' to include
anyone who tries the stuff. I would put 'pothead' in the same category
as
'alcoholic'.

Oh, it gets even better. Bill has been proven to call someone a
"pothead" without ANY evidence of such. Hell, he doesn't even have to
have heresay to call someone a pothead!

hearsay


Not hearsay or heresay, but a posting in one of his incarnations of
newsgroup posting.

If you are talking about a nice spiffy GB49 Classic in first rate

I've seen photos of your old GB RV before. It's perfect for a tired old

that sort of boat, I'd want one with a steel hull and an aluminum
superstructure.

Beautiful boat. But, I was thinking of ordering a print of GB 49 Classic
for Harry and the resolution is too low for anything but a wallet size. I'm
thinking he'd probably like about an 11" by 14" to frame and put over the
fireplace.

Think you could increase the resolution any?

Harry, would you post your address so I can mail it?


Don't waste your time.

Wrong, as usual, in many ways. Listen well, dumb Bill. What I asked
for was PROOF, EVIDENCE, not heresay. Do you even know the legal
difference between the two? Do you realize that knowingly making false
statements about someone is a crime?




Or lies now. As to the pot,
my opinion is legalize and tax most drugs. If you steal to support your

Just a drunk old handyman aren't you?


Rarely drink. Scared of my Irish ancestry?

Harry, you're making life hard here. I don't believe you've got room over
your fireplace for two big pictures of boats. So, quit messing things up.
The closest you're going to come to a beautiful trawler is the picture of
the GB 49 Classic.

Nice boats indeed, and probably perfect for you - nearly bullet proof
and capable of traversing vast oceans of bull ship.

I have no interest in buying a GB RV, especially an old one, so in some
sense your post is correct. If I wanted one, though, I'd buy it the same
way I bought my last few boats, for cash.
