RE: do you believe in jesus?

The really sad thing is that they think because they have been accepted into a church community that they are safe to behave despicably towards others with impunity, its cognitive dissonance - its sad that they alienate themselves this way from people who are offering the hands of kindness and trying to help them.

They think there is no problem with their behaviour and its the rest of the world at fault for seeing things differently - when even the religious tire of them they may finally realise but I think they will just up their meds at that stage (those who accept they need meds that is) so they become oblivious - they may be able to lie to themselves quite effectively but the rest of us see right through it......

As you say, a good Christian or believer of any denomination, has the respect to not force their opinions on others

RE: do you believe in jesus?

Some real oddballs find salvation in religion and make things really rather difficult for the genuine ones....... they push and push then if we retaliate they assume they have grounds for name calling

RE: do you believe in jesus?

If you want to play at selective bible passages I have some corkers but Ill be accused of hatred when I paste the truth - such is the duplicity inherrent within the minds of the religious......

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Ok, Ill say it then - you have always looked after your children in a commendable way, they dont get in trouble with the police, they go to work every day and are all round well adjusted young men - not what one would expect to listen to some of the projected expectations of dope smokers..........

Excerpted from 'Energy Farming in America', by Lynn Osborne.

Biomass conversion to fuel has been proven economically feasible, first in laboratory tests and by continuous operation of pilot plants in field tests since 1973. When the energy crop is growing it takes CO2 from the air, so when it is burned the CO2 is released, creating a balanced system.

Biomass is the term used to describe all biologically produced matter. World production of biomass is estimated at 146 billion metric tons a year, mostly wild plant growth. . Some farm crops and trees can produce up to 20 metric tons per acre of biomass a year. Types of algae and grasses may produce 50 metric tons per year.

This biomass has a heating value of 5000-8000 BTU/lb, with virtually no ash or sulfur produced during combustion. About 6% of contiguous United States land area put into cultivation for biomass could supply all current demands for oil and gas.

The foundation upon which this is achieved is the emerging concept of "energy farming," wherein farmers grow and harvest crops for biomass conversion to fuels.

Pyrolysis is the process of applying high heat to organic matter (lignocellulosic materials) in the absence of air or in reduced air. The process can be adjusted to favor charcoal, condensable organic liquids (pyrolitic fuel oil), non-condensable gases, acetic acid, acetone, gas or methanol production with a 95.5% fuel-to-feed efficiency.

Pyrolysis has been used since the dawn of civilisation. Ancient Egyptians practices wood distillation by collecting the tars and pyroligneous acid for use in their embalming industry.

Methanol-powered automobiles and reduced emissions from coal-fired power plants can be accomplished by biomass conversion to fuel utilizing pyrolysis technology, and at the same time save the American farm while turning the American heartland into a prosperous source of clean energy production.

Pyrolysis has the advantage of using the same technology now used to process crude fossil oil and coal. Coal and oil conversion is more efficient in terms of fuel-to-feed ration, but biomass conversion by pyrolysis has many environmental and economic advantages over coal and oil.

Pyrolysis facilities will run three shifts a day. Some 65% of the energy from the raw biomass will be contained in the charcoal and fuel oils made at the facility. This charcoal has nearly the same heating value in BTU as coal, with virtually no sulfur.

Pyrolitic fuel oil has similar properties to no. 2 and no. 6 fuel oil. The charcoal can be transported economically by rail to all urban area power plants generating electricity. The fuel oil can be transported economically by trucking creating more jobs for Americans. When these plants use charcoal instead of coal, the problems of acid rain will begin to disappear.

When this energy system is on line producing a steady supply of fuel for electrical power plants, it will be more feasible to build the complex gasifying systems to produce methanol from cubed biomass, or make synthetic gasoline from the methanol by the addition of the Mobile Co. process equipment to the gasifier.

Hemp is the number one biomass producer on planet earth: 10 tons per acre in approximately four months. It is a woody plant containing 77% cellulose. Wood produces 60% cellulose.

This energy can be harvested with equipment readily available. It can be 'cubed' by modifying hay cubing equipment. This method condenses the bulk, reducing trucking costs from field to the pyrolysis reactor. And the biomass cubes are ready for conversion with no further treatment."




Such are the real reasons that Marijuana is kept illegal......

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

We are such failures hey Gra, you have achieved much, I know this only too well and Im not exactly a basket case either

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Did you see the thread I did this morning Gin? Just the last 20 mins of the video suggest hope Ill bump it......

Curiously, the use of cannabis as a bio oil producer has enormous benefits - same with the paper industry but the real enemies are the people already making the profits who dont have any intention of relinquishing power........ there are lots and lots of things that hemp can be used for but it gets used as a way to ridicule - go figure.........

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Its been outlawed for almost as long too by those who would have control their own way

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Its always the usual suspects too - teres such a lot to learn about personality types on these forums - a never ending source of enjoyment/learning for me curiously enough

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Ok then, come back at me legitimately, I see you sidestepped my comment on tobacco

Im not going to stoop to your petty little level anyway - if you want the gist of what i meant by the power comment here you go....



stash it now mr nasty - i shant reply to you further...... this is your usual method, you cant attack my theories so you go for the personal stuff - transparent beyond belief.......

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

you really are mean when when you get going arent you.....

Are you another who has a problem with educated women

Were were talking about power, not highs.......

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Even more reasons for people to do less unnecessary car journeys

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

The use of ridicule is wearing thin though but they do keep on trying it on

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Power, yes, thats the worst of em all

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Ive just stopped smoking cigarettes - that was addiction Tell me now I dont know the difference

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

If that was the case there would be more or as much of that on record now than there are drunk drivers - the laws we have arent stopping any of it - its a farce.........

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Apportioning blame isnt going to get us anywhere. You see it your way, i see it through a sociological lens - what we are dealing with nowadays is generations of people who have grown up in zones of urban deprivation (google it) its like a dart board with the very poorest zones in the bulls eye areas of inner cities. There is also a problem there of white out too (not my words) there is deprivation going on like you couldnt imagine, it starts with all the kids who fall through the education nets because their families before tham have acted in exactly the same way - just like you nad I had parents who kept us on the straight and narrow, this is becoming increasingly rare in those zones of inner city deprivation......... they dont want it that way, they would like jobs, please remember this if it does come to the army being brought in to kill their own countrymen......

RE: egypt

and mobile phones too..........

RE: geting married august 11th

Oh brilliant news - wonderful - I wish you both every happiness

Her 'other' vice was called John Brown but thats supposed to be a secret

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Lucky you Craig

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

There are so many unwilling victims of the drugs trade and i think its misguided in the extreme to suggest that people willingly enter into this way of life - I know a 38 yr old man, for instance, whos dad, gave him heroin for toothache when he was 15 - it is not an isolated incident. It is all many of these people know, they are let down by the education system, they are unproductive feeders, not from choice but because there are no jobs so they see a way to make a shilling or two in the same way that all the other people with no hope are doing - yes, what they do is illegal but the problem is with those who allow this stuff into our countries. The story surrounding drugs in prisons is that its allowed to continue cos subdued inmates are easier to deal with and the same goes for society, plus, governments depend on the black economy - dont be fooled folk - the war on drugs is fought for profit all round - corruption on all levels is whats going on......... I was reading something not long ago, Ill try to find it in a min but it was about how many times a single consignnment of opium is profited upon before it even leaves Afghanistan and how many war lords are appeased this way and lets face it, they are making all this fuss about airport secirity, maybe it isnt coming into our countries through civilian aircraft at all hey.......

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Nope, what you see as choice has thinner boundaries on say a very poor council estate where survival is quite different than it is for those lucky enough to escape the depravations of poverty - if you have never been in the situation its easy enough to theorise on how you would deal with it, for those to whom this is a daily reality I think they may suggest that those who would judge them harshly walk a mile in their shoes.........

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

In some ways it is yes, the opium wars have a long history Ooby

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

So many people go home and have a couple of shots of whiskey and sit there calling drug users - the duplicity astounds me.......... there are profits made whether its legal or not and anybody prepared to dig deep enough will find there arent too many differences between who makes the ultimate profits too.......

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

Well, (a little less cruelly but) that has actually worked in Portugal.

RE: The War on Drugs - How to Win it

But I want to keep on smoking dope Ooby, I dont see it as a clinical condition, it is my drug of choice and is none addictive too

RE: There are some who are not worth loving.

Stay strong then Len! I wish you towers of strength. You will be ok, you know this. These things do serve to make us stronger in the long run Im glad you are ok

RE: torture?

Great subject Emmaline - Ive been looking into this stuff too
