Yeah sorry bro, they probably haven't settled it yet 'cause I can't find it anywhere. I'll post about it if I find out. It really will be a great show.

Aaron 03-25-2009 10:44 PM

Miaow.

gaslight 03-25-2009 10:52 PM

'Sup dude.

Aaron 03-25-2009 11:03 PM

At work. Hungover. 6th coffee of the day.

gaslight 03-25-2009 11:17 PM

Well done sir.

I didn't have enough money to get proper drunk last night. If I work two of the next three days though I'll have turned a profit for the week.

Aaron 03-26-2009 12:10 AM

I've been doing double-overtime every day for a few weeks now. First lot of overtime is 7am to 9am, then do a standard 9-til-5, then do overtime load of 5pm til 7pm. Suxors.

gaslight 03-26-2009 12:16 AM

Jesus that'd be insane money.

Aaron 03-26-2009 12:18 AM

Double-time. :)

gaslight 03-26-2009 12:34 AM

Aaron 03-26-2009 01:12 AM

gaslight 03-26-2009 01:23 AM

Ah well, even if I don't get to work any more nights this week I've got some money coming in from other sources so I'll have made rent a small net profit.

Alf™ 03-26-2009 02:28 AM

I have a new phone (yay!)

But I lost my voice so it dosn't matter (boo!)

gaslight 03-26-2009 06:16 AM

Drugs are a gay thing to sell, too much risk. Prices are way high lately though, the financial crisis hit drugs as well.

blueyxd 03-26-2009 06:23 AM

Which one of you was a marine biologist again?

I_WEAR_RED_PANTS 03-26-2009 08:41 AM

it wasn't me

and that looks longer than 4 foot

Aaron 03-26-2009 03:00 PM

I've honestly considered dealing as a career choice. Does that make me a bad person?

Chu 03-26-2009 04:38 PM

No. It's a perfectly valid means of income.

Aaron 03-26-2009 04:41 PM

I'm of the opinion [as is Layer Cake] that most recreational drugs used today will be legal within the next 20 years, so it's up to the consumer to be responsible, just like with fast food and alcohol.

Chu 03-26-2009 04:47 PM

Some drugs are fairly hard, I wouldn't count on them *all* being legalised.

But marijuana should be fine - wouldn't it be an answer to the current economic crisis? It could provide plenty of jobs, and the government could make a fair bit of money taxing it, if it was offered in packs of 10 spliffies like cigarettes are, I would be buying packs a day, the government would pull in enough from just me.

Aaron 03-26-2009 05:15 PM

I think the problem is more in the use than the sale. People don't understand that you can use drugs recreationally and not abuse them. Seems there's no middle ground, just sober people and "potheads", at least from my experience. It should be sold like the more expensive types of alcohol; price it fairly high so it's not abused, but allow tax deductability for those who use it for medicinal use. Price floors can be ineffective in economic terms though for luxury items though.

gaslight 03-26-2009 05:34 PM

The reason 90% of drugs that are illegal are illegal isn't for moral reasons, it's because the production, supply and sale of them originate from organised crime and are used to fund it. Cigarettes are as (if anything, more) dangerous to your health than marijuana, but cigarettes are produced on the up and up with tax to the government by real companies etc.

If the government wanted to legalise currently illegal drugs they would first have to wrest control of their production and supply from powerful gangs and cartels and that would require an incredible amount of expenditure and a whole lot of violence. In short, don't expect it to ever happen.

Aaron 03-26-2009 06:12 PM

Well if they legalise it then the price will naturally drop making the drug-dealers have less incentive to deal in the long run...
