Health / Re: How Do I Control Sleep? by owo2390(m): 11:55pm On Jul 24, 2011
U need to develop biphasic sleeping habits. You will gain more energy and sleep less.

Take a 2 hour nap at about 5 pm everyday. Then sleep at about 12 and wake up at four.

You will need a couple of weeks for your body to adapt to the new sleep schedule but after you adapt. You will sleep less and read more. Or whatever you choose to do with your extra time.

If the US economy fails, China's economy would also fail. The US is China's biggest consumer.
Foreign Affairs / Re: How Did The British Run An Empire With Such A Small Army? by owo2390(m): 7:07pm On Jul 24, 2011
Good points.

And China's population poses another problem. In the future, it would be fiscally irresponsible to spend a lot of money on defense when most of their citizens are suffering from poverty.

How do you explain high incidence of psychosis in weed smokers?




The research is inconclusive. There are several risk factors that are not controlled for, for example family history, and the consumption of other substances. All the research articles I've read on the issue said that most people who developed psychosis after smoking weed had prior predisposition to mental illness.

Research on the issue is still on going.

I like the cut of your jib, cap28  cool

anyway why are people mentioning drugs when no one knows the cause of death yet? 

It IS a shame though that despite her voice and great music, that her problems is what many will remember however  undecided

I know it's really sad. In a time where popular music was cheap and filled with auto tune. She sang from the soul.

Yea she was a mess sometimes, but when it came to craft she was impeccable.

Don't forget that in battles like this the innocent are the ones who suffer the most.

The violence need to stop in Nigeria. We can't improve our condition if people are afraid to leave their house

The people in the study already developed a psychological illness before the use of Weed.

The use of HTC results in the increased released of dopamine in the CNS. The basic pathogenesis of schizophrenia is excessive release of dopamine in the mesolimbic pathway of the brain. So it makes sense that weed exacerbated their schizophrenia.

In the case in the abstract there's a  factor: a mental illness was present. My argument deals with people with no prior history of mental illness.
Religion / Re: Does God Approve Dating? by owo2390(m): 6:02pm On Jul 24, 2011

Coogar

Come on now, how can you be "quoting" biggie in a serious debate? Do you "bleep the police" too because NWA talk so shey?


Look all you are citing, at best is an anecdotal evidence.  Even looking at your "boss" that you gave as your ultimate example, I think that in itself is a form of mild addiction. Why is your "boss" finding it hard to completely stop from when he was a teenager?


Anyway, based on research and publications THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) present in weed is harmful.




On the contrary, with the right dosage of THC, it is actually beneficial for the treatment of myriad of diseases and psychological illness. If the dosage is too high, then it's fatal.

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.

There is medicare and medicaid. They don't cover everyone but it's way better than Nigeria where they kick you out even if your head is bleeding profusely.

Even if you are an illegal alien without insurance, you are treated. No questions ask.

I remember after an accident in Nigeria, we had to pay before the doctor could see us. Mind you, there was blood gushing out of my dad's head. But in New Brunswick, New Jersey at the clinic where I volunteer, we treat everybody. The clinic was actually commissioned for the sole purpose of treating people without insurance.

Insurance argument doesn't fly.

It's in bad taste to speak badly of the dead. They are not here to defend themselves.

And she didn't do anything to warrant all this assaults on her character.

And you @sagamite, are just plain asinine.
Music/Radio / Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by owo2390(m): 7:53pm On Jul 23, 2011
Don't speak ill of the dead.

She made some bad choices. Everyone does. And if you don't have anything nice to say just keep quiet.

That was mean and uncalled for!!

It's bad to speak ill of the dead. FYI
Music/Radio / Re: Amy Winehouse Is Dead by owo2390(m): 7:45pm On Jul 23, 2011
I'm saying for that alone. She's an overall great person.

We need to calm down and stop getting too technical.

Wow people.

I love the USA because at school i have Indian, Mexican, Italian, Pakistani, friends. With that alone. I have learned a lot about the world i live in. But Nigerian society is too homogeneous for me.

She's was not a waste. She was just troubled.

She gave us some really good songs, and for that, May her soul rest in peace.

This thread is pointless.

You can use skype and see your parent. This is probably the most ridiculous argument ever.
