davidylan: davidylan's submission: doctors, lawyers, teachers, lecturers, professors don't use drugs? don't delude yourself - drug users have contributed to the standard of living. . . . .drug usage cuts across every social stratum. . . . .if a doctor dies from drug usage in texas. . . .the news will be local cos nobody cares. . . . . .if amy winehouse dies of the same overdose. . . .it will be well publicized cos she's far famous. just because you have not heard of professional folks dying of o-d does not mean it doesn't happen. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:05pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: ok lets disabuse our minds here for a sec. We seem to have gotten into this idea that because these folks were able to hold a note, they are suddenly "brilliant"? Now that's false pls. Talent is not equivalent to intelligence. You can be talented (an innate ability) at whistling and still be unable to solve a quadratic equation or reason logically (a trait many of your "heros" sadly lack). Secondly, we have EXTREMELY BRILLIANT surgeons, professors, astronauts and artists who dont sniff any powder for inspiration . . . oops i forgot those are boring conformists living in the 18th century. than gawd for Amy winehouse, now we know what its like to live in the 21st century. coogar: lol what was cap28 saying about his parents again? Fela followed his dreams - right to dying of aids and being an embarrassment to his children. Femi and Yeni are who they are today thanks to their mother who single-handedly raised them following her separation from Fela. Yeah Fela is a "legend" . . . famous for dying with aids and marrying 28 wives in one day. coogar: Sure. Tell her mother that. coogar: our professions may never be frontline news on the daily mail so of course you can accuse us of having boring unsuccessful lives. Its ok. you go ahead and let your daughter be the next amy winehouse . . . |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:06pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: Doing the exact same thing you accuse sagamite of doing to you. take one line out of a long treatise and spin it into a firm conclusion i didnt make. At no point did i say doctors or lawyers dont use drugs . . . most of them dont and the few who do are not raised to some false pedestal. They are considered failures and felons. |

redsun: My mind will never regress to the expectations and standards of moorons that see negative change as progress and "contemporary". coogar: You are one dumbshit with the lame comparisons we have already seen on this thread. What is there not to compare in people, dumbo? Some are stewpid, some are smart. You are the former, I am the latter. Because some people have poorer judgement is an excuse? What kind of dumb argument will you come up with next to excuse drug taking, person? coogar: You are a foool! You said people take marijuana everyday and don't get addicted. I said that is impossible or at least it will fck you up mentally. You are still trying to claim like it is some almost virtually harmless drug with little risk. Foooooooooool! coogar: You are a cretin! Food is not addictive. Prove it. I guess that is a challenge when you are poorly educated. coogar: You are dumb. A disorder is not an addiction! coogar: You are a cretin! I am not a demigod, I am your supreme God. Don't ever try and Bshit me with Buka facts you can not prove again. Won o bi da (Dem no born you well) to get away with it. coogar: You are a cretin! 995 of things on Earth are not like crack! Stop pulling ediotic opinions from your arse! coogar: You are a foool! Gradual withdrawal is not medicinal and can not be compared to taking aspirin for pain. Another of your asinine comparisons. coogar: You are a cretin, you are now comparing playstation console to crack! People need playstation, facebook, BB! If it is taken from them, they will be psychotic? Mooron! You are one massive foool! You are a serious person! coogar: You are a cretin! Maybe at your level are the people you regard as great and that influence you take drugs. Not me, I am way too smart to be that impressionable. I will tell your greats to kiss my arse because I can never put them on a pedestal. coogar: This is coming from the cretin that knows nothing about Power? You insist on wallowing in your moronic ignorance that you use to challenge science? coogar: When I tell you that you are a cretin, you will think it is an insult. So you picked a case that a judge threw out as frivolous as your example? I don't need to ask if you are reetarded. You are! coogar: You are a cretin, you are yet to prove people need drugs. They choose to take drugs. Foool coogar: You are a cretin! I am your intellectual God! It is Sunday, fcking worship! |

davidylan: but amy doesn't want to solve quadratic equations. . . . .you don't have to be an academic fellow to make it in life. amy and many like her wanted to master their arts. . . . .it's a rare talent to make classical music and wow millions of people all over the world. . .cutting through language barrier, races and tribal bullshyte. . . . .this is where you are getting it wrong. talent is a gift and it's intelligence. . . . .not necessarily academic intelligence.
and how would you know they didn't take drugs? you want me to give you a list of famous people that used drugs at a particular point in their lives? are you sure you wanna know? like i keep saying, taking it is not irresponsible. . . . .overdoing it is the irresponsibilty.
he is still a legend. . . . .fela isn't the first person to die with aids. ordinary folks in your academic circle have also died of aids. let's compare like for like. so because he died of aids now. . . .it means he was unsuccessful or made the wrong choice? i am sure fela would lead the same life over again if permitted.
she knows herself. without their daughter, they would be living on state benefits. sadly she had to die. . . . .but without amy, no one would know about them.
she has her cross to carry. . . . .i can preach from now till eternity, pray from now till eternity. . . . .the ultimate decision still lies on the mother. anini's parents never taught him how to hold a gun. his dad was an evangelist who changed people's lives and yet his son was the most notorious robber in nigeria. go figure! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 4:15pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: You are a cretin! So they knew the effects of drugs and we are suppose to feel pity for them when they wilfully use it and destroy their lives? 5 Grammy awards and a shyt life is what you are applauding! What an impressionable, dumb person! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Frazy(f): 4:18pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
watching and listening to Love is a Losing Game, brings tears to my eyes, We all have and or have had our demons wether it be drugs or something else. Many of us made it through and many did not. Too bad those of us still here consider ourselves judge and jury. We are no better than she was we just happen to survive. |

Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:22pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: Duh look on youtube to see how "rare" this talent is. Ya want to see REAL CLASSICAL music, look up il divo or Andrea bocelli . . . now THAT is a talent . . . without the need for drugs. coogar: 1. I never said none of those brilliant scientists didnt abuse drugs, but the few who do are not placed on a pedestal and heralded as heroes. 2. Taking drugs of abuse IS irresponsibility! It is the primary driver behind the large number of young kids today trying it out to feel "cool". coogar: A legend? lol yeah why dont you have your son follow his footsteps. We'll buy his records no probs. coogar: True. All due to her own inability to provide a stable childhood for her daughter. A pharmacist living on state benefits? What a disgrace. coogar: True. Preaching means nothing if you cannot lead your own family. Abandoning your child so you can preach in 365 places a year is wrong according to the bible. Train your child! Dont leave them in abusive, broken homes with no supervision and expect superstars out of them. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Frazy(f): 4:24pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
@Sagamite tone down your language. Why do you take Nl too serious? |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:27pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: Call me out on this if you pls but lets cut out the BS at this point. 1. Talent is NOT synonymous with intelligence. Amy may have been good enough to hold a note but was certainly not intelligent enough to make the right choices for herself . . . that didnt even require the ability to solve quadratic equations. 2. This excuse above is one that most people who have no cranial capacity for education would definitely be in support of. Send your kids to school . . . they will not become the new Amy winehouse. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 4:28pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Frazy: I kind of have a morbid hate for moorons. It annoys me they have a right to vote. I am hoping we can abolish democracy and start geniocracy. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:33pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Frazy: 1. We dont all have "demons" (i'm sure even the devil is tired of being blamed for our poor choices). When you make a conscious CHOICE to dabble into drugs . . . it is YOUR FAULT not that of internal demons. 2. this is not a case of making up "judge and jury" . . . it is about learning the lessons her death teaches us, and disabusing this silly notion that simply because you sing you must be a successful legend. No wonder our kids dont like school no more, all of them want to strum guitars and form rock bands. Can i blame them? the media has shown them that is the "cool" 21st century person to be. I laugh in greek when i see idiots here claiming being a surgeon is boring and conformist. I'd rather all my kids were surgeons than Amy Winehouse, they may not be known to your through the pages of the telegraph but so long as they make a difference in their little communities . . . who cares what others think. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by coogar: 4:34pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Sagamite: you are born silly. . . .you are beyond help.
if you are half as smart as ma pubic hair, i will overdose on methadone. . . . you and me in a debate? you are a witless apprentice. your intellectual compass is so screwed up, i doubt you can find your way out in a mall.
or at least? this hilly-billy is shifting position already? marijuana is harmless if the right dosage is taken, you ninny! there are articles on this on the web, read it and stop drooling like an epileptic patient.
food is addictive. . . . i will spoonfeed you this time around. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2707143.stm i guess it's another food in your face. . . . .scientists claimed this one. . . .the very science you love talking about and you have no grasp of.
poorly educated? and yet you don't know the difference between your left and your right.
and yet i have bashed your cranium so much you have lost your sight. i am not one of the people you can bully. . . .i love intellectual debates but what i have seen here is the ramblings of a lunatic who cannot discern between his left hand and the right. . . .objectionable nitwits like you are stamped out by my brogues! half the cube root of my iq is beyond you(fact)!
and yet more ramblings. . . . . .
and yet the tool shows more mental inadequacies. . . . .subutex is not medicinal? i'm sure your army of lunatics will be shaking their heads at your sheer idiocy this afternoon. i have told you - when you see me. . . .you need to run!
take it from your spouse and letz see what she becomes in weeks. . . .
get a grip, asstard. . . .
you are not smart! you are nothing but a despicable obnoxious tool. . . . . .what have you invented? what are your qualifications? what do you own? who knows you? see me see palava. . . .an inevitable display of small-minded jobsworthian power. . . . .you this imbecilic immigrant is claiming to be smart? thunder fire your duodenum.
Bleep your power and science. . . . .common sense beats them everyday. . . . .
ruminant animal strikes again. . . . .you told me to show you one case of people vs macdonalds. . . .i showed you one and you are still saying its a frivolous case. . . .was there a case or not? frivolous or unfrivolous?
they need drugs. drugs have become part of their lives. . . . .when they don't take it - they go into the cold-turkey phase! read a book, kiss my feet - acclaim me as your messiah, your teacher, your rabbi
if i ever catch you in an intellectual debate ever again, i will pull out your intestines and sell your testicles to mexicans. you deluded ignoramus! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 4:36pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
davidylan: Don't mind the dumbo! The guy is incredibly stewpid. This is another of his mooronic goof. Maybe Susan Boyle is his example of omnipotent intelligent because she can hold a tune. Moronic point after moronic point. Some ediot can not make good choices in life and he is claiming intelligence. Awon "Contemporary" thinkers! Idiocy at its peak. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Frazy(f): 4:40pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
I have watched the world crumble before my eyes. The world is angry, all due to economic conditions and the stress of living too fast, too hard, too selfishly, for too long. There is no respect for one another. Road rage, spousal abuse, drug and alcohol abuse are all expressions of that anger and stress. I hear young women using the f'bomb in every third sentence. This was unheard during our parent time. Women had a measure of self respect which made men desire them. I see many young people who do not treat elders with respect yet they demand to be taken seriously as adults and demand respect for their ideas, opinions, and lifestyles. You can add singer Amy Winehouse to the list of young people who died tragically mainly because she was a product of today's world. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by coogar: 4:43pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
davidylan: Like a talent, intellectual giftedness is usually believed to be an innate, personal aptitude for intellectual activities that cannot be acquired through personal effort Various ideas about the definition, development, and best ways of identifying intellectual giftedness have been put forward. Intellectual giftedness may be general or specific. For example, an intellectually gifted person may have a striking talent for mathematics, but not have equally strong language skills. i have called you out - what's your defense now?
ray charles - not intelligent abraham lincoln(us president) was not intelligent grever cleveland-not intelligent anthony eden(british prime minister)was not intelligent adolf hitler not intelligent davidylan, you are quite an intelligent man but telling me drug users are not intelligent because they took drugs is pushing it. really pushing it. if this was coming from the resident simpleton aka sagamite, i wouldn't raise an eyebrow but the names i have listed here are people who are leaders of men bar ray charles(a legendary pianist). how do you lead a country without intelligence? |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 4:44pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: You are a cretin! You have no arguments? Let me recount your mooronic points: - Celebrities can have no impact on kids. - Driving is like crack. - Alcohol is as bad or even worse than crack. - Food is addictive. - People need crack. You are incredibly dumb. As per your link on food addiction, you are too dumb to realise that the hypothesis was rejected by others as stated at the bottom of the article, so it is not of general acceptance hence it is not valid evidence? Your school failed you? |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:44pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: False. Marijuana at the "right dose" over a long period of time is addictive. Methadone is a classic example, it is used to curb heroin addiction and reduce withdrawal symptoms because: a. it acts on the same opioid receptors as heroin b. can block heroin effects at certain doses c. It is far less addictive But it is still highly regulated because taken at the right dose over time will lead to dependence! Go to your hospital . . . see how strictly medicinal drugs like morphine are controlled. coogar: Herein lies the problem. The very first line in your article says this - Hamburgers and French fries could be as addictive as heroin, scientists have claimed. This article was published 8 yrs ago, in that time there remains no evidence to substantiate this. Food does not act at the same receptors known to cause dependence . . . |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:47pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Frazy: Call it chivalry, but i couldnt be harsh to a cute chic. Nail hit on the head - the problem is with the breakdown of the family as the basic unit of society. No thanks to those who tell us we should cancel our ageless belief in traditional marriage to accomodate the queer lifestyles of others. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Nobody: 4:50pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: Huh? Nna bros dont try this with me. So where in that long diatribe is intelligence mentioned? Talent is not limited to the arts, it also includes an innate aptitude for the sciences too. Now look at the definition of intelligence - the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : reason; also : the skilled use of reason (2) : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests) What has talent to do with the above? |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 4:52pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
davidylan: Don't mind the mooron, he would argue against Science. davidylan: And we have "contemporary" thinkers that think it is "progress". |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by coogar: 4:59pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
davidylan: how is marijuana related to methadone? i said marijuana is harmless, you are telling me about methadone. christ, who have i been arguing with?
i said marijuana is harmless, stop preaching to me about methadone. marijuana and methadone are not the same ish., jeeeeez.
see your comprehension. . . . .food is still addictive. . . .whether it's now as addictive as heroin or other drugs is what is yet to be substantiated. the degree of addiction is what is in question not the addiction itself. fellas, read and digest. Sagamite: see the pubic louse now hiding beneath davidylan's knickers after being bashed into a pulp. you are a tool. . . . .a rusty tool if i may ask. . . . .i have told you - the next time you put your face where intellectuals gather, i will gut you out like a pig. laboratory nincompoop! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sagamite(m): 5:05pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
coogar: Look at this dumbo? You bashed with moronic arguments like driving is like crack? Lets examine your new idiotic argument, so marijuana is not a psychotic drug, it is harmless? According to your mooronic argument about food, so if people are keen on the next sex, they are addicts? What kind of mooron are you FFS? |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by coogar: 5:11pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Sagamite: you keep getting worse by the day. . . . .i have told you. . . , bow down, kiss my feet, call me your rabbi. is marijuana harmful? no for the most part, there really is no physical withdrawal in marijuana; no detox symptoms for quitting marijuana. with other drugs, such as alcohol or painkillers, there are very real and sometimes even dangerous withdrawal symptoms that can occur during the detox process. but with marijuana, there really are no such problems. so this would tend to point to the idea that marijuana is not addictive(unless when heavy dosage is administered). taking the required dosage will not bring about any addiction. mr sagamite, another lecture for your illiterate rump. you are a semi-illiterate. . . . .and people like you are the worst to deal with. . . . .for a stark illiterate, he digests everything said to him right or wrong but at least he still gains some wheat. . . . . .for laboratory pinheads like you. . . . .you think you are literate but then you are ignorant. . . .so you mix the wheat for the chaff and gain nothing. . . . |

Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by ElRazur: 5:28pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Coogar. What is the "required dosage" You claim Marijuana isn't harmful yet it is a controlled substance or illegal in many parts of the world. You claim it isn't harmful yet there is a high incidence of psychosis amongst smokers. (Especially those who are dependant on it) Look, Weed do have some benefits (those who suffer from Arthritis claim it is soothing and help their inflammatory disorder) however there are chemicals present in it that causes a lot of harm or associated with harm at least. As it stand so far there are more research that supports the stance marijuana is more harmful. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by Sike(m): 5:34pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
What A Cruel Fate! |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by coogar: 5:37pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Sagamite: if the right dosage is administered, you dumbo! right dosage. . . . .not excessive users. try another ish. but while you are at it. . . . . .more lectures for your illiterate rump p.s. after each lecture, bow and kiss my feet! http://healthland.time.com/2010/10/19/is-marijuana-addictive-it-depends-how-you-define-addiction/ ElRazur: it varies from individual to individual. in the words of biggie "know your weight"
but this is the only drug people are clamouring to decriminalize cos the addiction level is even less than 10% even when you overuse it. marijuana is harmless if taken judiciously. my boss is an example. he uses it and comes off it at will - with no addiction and he has been using it since his teenage years. marijuana's withdrawal will only cause cravings(just like cigarettes and sex) not physically addictive as the others which would cause nausea, shaking, cold sweats and make withdrawal symptoms unbearable. the addiction is psychological and this is manageable. |
Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by owo2390(m): 5:44pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
There's no conclusive evidence on the noxiousness of weed. But weed has many positive effects that medical marijuana is legal in many states. Also, marijuana was banned in the 1930s, then, no one was doing any ground breaking research on the effects of marijuana. Marijuana was banned because the tobacco company's lobbyists used scare tactics to scare many people into believing marijuana was bad. Furthermore, alcohol kills more people than marijuana. And marijuana is legal in the Netherlands and the country is thriving, and doing better than most other countries. The only downside to marijuana is that it's a gateway drug. That's bad. From personal experience, I lived with a former drug-dealer in college, he was in honors classes, smoked regularly and did really well in school. The major downside to weed consumption in my friend was that the weed made him lazy. No psychosis. I have no first hand experience with the substance because I don't smoke. But i have friends who do and they are the nicest, smartest, people out there. Just saying my piece. |
