Are you having some kind of languish problem, or is this some kind of zen argument technique I simply don't get? :unsure:

Berkut, while I frequently find that pictures are blocked when viewing at work, even quoting your reply doesn't show any kind of link or other reply.

I bet there is a civil servant whos only job function is to look at all the blocked sites government employees tried to visit.

Quote from: Barrister on April 28, 2009, 11:28:25 AMI don't understand why you're being so agressive about this.

Now you're being unfair to Berkut.  You know that is how he argues.

lots of employed pot heads out there Malthus. I don't buy what you are smoking. it's just time management.

Therefore I conclude that it is not physical addiction which is the problem, but as you would say the time management - it's the choice to smoke all the time rather than do anything else. This is not (I would contend) any different from people who play WOW all day and all night and thus cannot work.

sure. I'll buy that. :cool:

I submit that you in fact veg about as much as makes you happy, and go out and do other things about as much as makes you happy. I think this is true for most people, overall.

Notice that in fact you do NOT veg out in front of the TV for five hours all the time but instead choose to go do other things because you know in fact that vegging out for 5 horus all the time will not actually maximize your happiness.

You have the ability to make that choice for yourself, and you strike some balance between activities that you find to be optimal.

Why should we presume that that is not generally true for everyone else?

I don't understand why you're being so agressive about this.


It's berkut. :P

You're pretty young still, it's possible to get weary of computer games and internet.

True.

They started a war. As a whole we kill a lot less people now then we did in the past (percentage wise)

Total number wise, you mean.

Ok, I didn't read the thread and I don;t know which war you are talking about.

Is garbon accusing the wiggin guy of being my sock?

When have I ever needed a sock? It's not exactly like there is something that I just cannot say as Berkut...
