  1. I love this movie, my wife actually gave me the UHD last weekend for my birthday!
  2. @Reed Rothchild @MrPeaPod You guys might like Psycho-Pass as well.
  3. Everyone is welcome, we don't discriminate!
  4. Nicotine itself is highly addictive; main difference being that smokers will suffer from withdrawal because of this. People could start to mentally depend upon marijuana as a crutch, thinking perhaps it's the thing keeping them happy/sane, but they will STILL be able to quit cold turkey once they decide to do so. Nicotine however will actually make you physically ill with its absence. With nicotine it is a genuine physical reliance. Very different.

  5. Thanks for the input guys, gonna keep em. I'll give em a go and hey, worst case I don't like them and sell.
  6. I was sent on cigarette runs for my babysitter regularly, and faced no issues aside from the occasional mugging.
  7. Frankly I was being a bit cynical there, I grew up in a shit area with shit parents and just overall shitty shit shit sharoo. The long and short is that MY experience has been that these rules around age and buying stuff is: Laws against buying things do nothing to stop kids from getting it Conversely, the rules themselves make it edgy/cool to subvert Kids I know could go to the store and just pay a bit extra to get this stuff, and it was the hip thing to do in my area. I'll admit to having tried some basic booze as a kid and I just didn't like it at all, it tasted gross, so I avoided it. I was never too worried about being cool so it didn't impact me in that "push through it and acquire the taste" kinda way. Long story short I'm a bit biased on it. It just took seeing some other folks talking about their opinions on it for me to remember my experience isn't the one experience. I feel that if it weren't so cool to break the rules, kids would be less interested in it. It's admittedly a relatively naive idea. Removing the limits altogether are perhaps extreme; I think a good alt would be like I said - get some learning in school on the impact of these things. I've been out of school for a long time obviously, but at least when I was in school the lessons on drugs/alcohol were pretty poor IMO. Needs fewer scare tactics, and more real science. I don't HAVE kids so I have no clue what it's like today.
  8. Hmmmm, to double down... or admit naivety? I think my thinking when I wrote that was a little different than what I intended to actually say. I retract the statement, it was a bit extreme compared to my actual thoughts.
  9. They're gonna get it one way or another.

    This is a for sale thread, not a discussion. If you're not an interested party there's really no need to post, bumping sale threads more than once a day is against site rules.
  11. I wasn't planning on it, but ended up picking up a small lot of PS2 games which included all 3 PoP games. My original plan was to just resell them to offset costs, but I seem to recall my brother liking them back in the day, while I never tried them myself. So now I'm thinking hey - I have them all, hard part done, maybe I give em a go. Curious if anyone here has played them, and what you thought? Good games?
  12. You do realize you can play PS2 games online still right?
