Michael Phelps cannot be considered a loser. He has more Olympic gold medals than any human being in the world has ever had.

"Hey Michael, you just won more gold medals than any human in history! What are you gonna do now?"

"Bong rips"
 
The legality has never been an issue for me. I've just never seen the appeal of inhaling smoke into my lungs so I'd probably pass, from the left hand side.

I don't get it.

One thing to get could be that having Olympic medals does not mean you don't have issues, and big problems in life.

There are more things in life that I identify with a successful life than money, gold medals, being in movies, or being the president... and they all have to do with the people in my life, myself included.

So basically your arguement is that since you do not consider them successful they are not? The real arguement is not that they are needy but that they are "losers".
 
I smoked weed all through high school and college, the only problems it caused me was I gained a little weight, and I wasted a few weekend nights playing fifa and watching crappy movies that I got into only because I was high. It didn't affect my schoolwork, my relationships, or my intelligence. I never got into fights while I was high, I never drove when I was high, I never did any of the terrible things that drunk people do when I was high. I did the terrible things drunk people do when I was drunk, but thats a different topic. I am now married with a daughter and I haven't smoked weed in 3 years. I have nothing against it, or the people that do it, I'm just over it and don't have a desire anymore. If someone wants to smoke weed they should absolutely 100% be able to do it without fear being arrested.
 
If we legalize it, then all the righteously indignant moral compasses would have an even higher horse to ride.

Win win.

Lol, what? No where in the Quran does it say anything remotely close to this.


Are you referring to the hookah? It originated in India/Pakistan, and Persia. Historically, none of these nations were muslim. Regardless, smoking is typically frowned upon in the Middle East, and typically by Islam altogether.

It was a joke, but clearly you've never been there. Smokers are everywhere:

Above are the statistics of total adult smokers of tobacco, rated through percentage of total adult smokers. It says:

1. Yemen 44.50%
2. Turkey 44.00%
3. Lebanon 40.50%
4. Jordan 29.00%
5. Israel 28.50%
6. Cyprus 23.10%
7. Iraq 22.50%
8. Qatar 18.80%
9. Kuwait 15.60%
10. Bahrain 14.60%
11. Oman 8.50%

Word?

Of course those on the high end are your more liberal ME countries, but if you extend beyond the ME boundry into the most populous Muslim country in the world, Indonesia, where 67% of males puff, you go through the roof in smokers. I think that's where GVC got into smoking while on his Mormon mission.

Again, it was just a joke towards our Phoenix Imam in training. Not intended as a sleight to Muslims, but it does have basis in reality. America is like 20%, but the big difference is that it's more in your face in the ME.


On another note, I want to Haj someday and trek to Makkah. Go undercover Muslim if you will. Do you think I could pull it off?
