I wonder why you're limiting the discussion so much here?

the texas reference was my fault I think, since I told about my experience of an out of hand political discussion with a fundamental christian who was from texas.

altough as a foreigner texas seems to be full of fundamental christians and rednecks, but ofcourse I know there are probably plenty of other groups too, and also plenty of fundamental christians in other states. but, as someone not living in the US, my perspective on your states is really limited, and for us foreigners(or at least for me), texas seems to be the state with most of those people. that view also got strengthened with bush being from texas btw.

I've also heard some references from americans online of alabama being full of rednecks, but besides that I know absolutely nothing about alabama, altough I do think there was some popsng about it

the only thought colorado provokes for me is that it is the state where south park plays in. and that they have medical cannabis as far as I know
on a slightly related but mostly unrelated note, the american use of liberal is always a bit weird to me, since here in the netherlands we call the rightwing/conservatives liberal(well actually our word is 'liberaal' and 'liberalen' for liberals, but you see the similarity)
not all our rightwing conservatives are liberals tough, but liberals around here is the rightwing that is not affiliated with religion, but is on the side of business owners and rich people, in favor of privatising as much as possible and letting the market free.
our other rightwinggroup are the christians, our biggest centerright party is christian and has christian in the name, but they aren't that pronounced religious.
our leftwing are the socialists, but everytime I read about american politics I get the idea 'socialist' is more a kind of curseword/insult in the US....(same with atheist btw)
altough maybe the use of liberal is correct in that context, since of you would place for example obama here in the netherlands he would probably be far-right
but it still always is a bit weird to me, associating liberal with leftwing

if I had to name a liberal american state, I would probably say california, mostly because of the medical cannabis-situation wich lately seems to have gotten more free as here in the netherlands(especially since our government is moving in the opposite direction)

I love colorado. I saw a sign the size of a billboard by the road on the edge of someone's farm that said "Abortion is murder"

Then I got to their neighbors farm and they had a sign of equal size, that said "Pro choice. Unwanted children cause child abuse and neglect."

hahhaha i would love to witness the town 4th of july party.
 
Some people need to get the fuck over themselves with the blathering and the over-inflated opinions of themselves.

Do most of us a favor and stock up on the knockout indicas...PLEASE

Christ almighty :moon::moon:

What could possibly be more interesting than all the input about the grow? Got me on that one, specially since this is a grow related forum site. If you want nonsensical chats go to the chatroom my friend, is what I do.

while I may not agree 100% on everything, I do realize things are the way they are and as you can tell I hate rules but I always do my best to follow them anyway as I know that are the terms of being here.

Thanks Skip for clearing that all up! And suggesting a site where we can have important answers to important questions that we can't ask here. peace

WOW 2 weeks...

More like apples and oranges.
If I owned a BK I wouldn't care if people talked about the big mac they ate the other day. Or the steak sandwich they would like to buy in the future... Why you wonder? Because they are in my restaurant.
you would mind, if mcdonalds customers brought mcdonald burgers and ate them in your restaurant, without you getting a cut for the rent, cleaning etc you pay for.
 
The weed discussion here is limited too. Mention another forum that has more information about some weed-related topic, and the post will be censored or deleted. Same goes for mentioning certain breeders or strains.

your entitlement is pathetic... icmag is a privilege, not a right... the people who want to cry about "free speech" and "cencorship" are fucking idiots

you're so pitifully wrong, it was apples/apples.

you're ALLOWED to talk about other seed breeders and strains here, you are NOT ALLOWED to link out to seed selling sites from these pages.

my analogy did NOT mention what people were chatting about in the BK, it was about allowing (or NOT) employees from other restaurants to enter & chum your patrons by handing out coupons which is EXACTLY like chumming the forums here with links to other seed sellers. Links meant to draw people away from this site & bring them to the competitors site.

being as you likely own nothing that wasn't handed to you I wouldn't really expect you to understand common business practices.

oh, WOW.......

It seems it's better to focus on what people have in common, and in the case of icmag, it is growing cannabis.

The usual discussions on religion and politics always end up putting people at odds with each other instead of encouraging a cooperative attitude, which benefits everyone on the site.

So as soon as threads become too contentious, they will be moderated, closed or binned.

Please respect the mods as they are what keep this site from degenerating into trollsville.

anecdotal

if it was a grow only related site they wouldn't have a smokers den

another relative perspective

I came to an online community for companionship because (at the time) close to 20 years mastering the clandestine medical breeding and cultivation in a climate of prohibition had left me feeling empty

yes the medicine saved my life, but the inability to embrace and share this openly had really limited my potential as well, sharing the miracle of healing with others

back when I started growing (the wake of operation green merchant still reverberating ) most of today's luxuries were not available to me

I don't want to deviate to far into detail and lose focus but there is very little meat on the grow bone for me here

for me its about the testimony of a life time relationship with a plant that transformed my life and how it wakened me to humanity

if you haven't searched out hundreds of different bags of weeds and spent decades breeding your own medicine maybe you won't have the same needs or desires, in fact 20 years from now you may transform into a different person all together

pot evokes karma on its own accord, each strain, each nuance of every psychoactive chemical will elicit a response, create its own biofeedback

at this point i can smoke certain strains and by the response of the smoker understand the state of that persons conscious and subconscious

not because i have secret mind powers but because I have experienced marijuana so intimately for so many years i can use simply catharsis

this is why its so easy for me to empathize or antagonize most any of the personalities types here, because I understand most everyone's perspective, because at one point in my life i shared the same mindset and the same life conditions, so much so i can predict and elicit most any response i want because I understand the relative perspective of people here

interestingly enough there has been born from this site a philosophical movement that has transformed lives as well so I don't feel that at the heart of the matter that even Gypsy wishes for the site to be restrictive

its simply a matter of user management and resource, in fact I don't think there is even a mantra here among the powers to be for any one rigid direction, and I think the site doesn't meet lofty goals for lack of potential

the lack of fruition of this latent potential is due to the conflictual nature of the community

which if you understand what I am trying to convey, the users who are bring the type of energy like angst have yet to reach a fuller potential, which i feel marijuana is capable of facilitating

so don't hate what you don't understand because if the plant stays in your life long enough you might transform into the very being you don't understand now

If you want nonsensical chats go to the chatroom my friend, is what I do.

i could reason having to have other people teach you to grow is nonsensical to me since i never needed the help myself

but im not about making the world conform to me I just don't want to be marginalized because it doesn't

Most topics get trolls or people just flaming. Unfortunately there are too many immature people out there that can't handle a debate/conversation and they take things too personally.
