Here's hoping the impact was minimised. Muslims, Iraq and Middle East trending on UK Twitter.

noo-wee I pronounce it.

I'm guessing you've heard very limited anecdotes about their side effects. The vast majority of drug use has no negative impact, especially when you factor in weed. But all drugs can be misused, just like everything can be. Everything down to donuts.

In terms of being out of control of my body. And therefore an increased chance of causing harm to myself or somebody else. Addiction wise I've not been addicted to anything, though with taking drugs I only ever take them once, apart from weed and alcohol. Weed I have on average once a month and it has been very useful as a thinking tool. Those above seem to have misunderstood my previous posts and presumed I can only 'think' whilst on drugs. This is not true. I am under the influence very, very rarely. Probably less rarely than they get drunk (though of course not necessarily). I've done amphetamine once and got a lot of writing done and watched hd tv for the first time (a few years back now). It was the rainforest version of Planet Earth. I've done acid once, last week. I did two years worth of research before taking the drug (so it was hardly irresponsible) and took it with two others present who were not on acid. It was a very fulfilling experience which i documented on the last page. I'm certainly no expert on drugs, and as you can tell from my post on the last page, I certainly don't believe everyone should try it, but I'm bored of the demonisation of drugs by people who have no idea what it can be like. It can be totally fucked up, but then so can drinking alcohol. It's all about how you do them.

I still maintain that alcohol is the most dangerous drug I've taken.

Well I wasn't forcing you to.

I like the way that is pronounced. Bonne nuit!

I am guessing you have never taken drugs.

It just proves he's an idiot. That is all.

Drugs can be useful as thinking tools.

Ha. Brilliant post...

That IS ridiculous.

To be honest though, they are Justin Bieber fans. You can't expect much from them.

That aint cool.

It's a combination of all those things, but all those things are influenced by the overall culture. Even if it's influenced by the overall culture because your family background is different to the usual culture and they are therefore outcasts, as such.

Well if it works on you then it works on you, so you should be fine. Hopefully it'll all go well but the actual sedation should be nothing to worry about. I had a friend who had his own morphine button after a back operation which he could press whenever he needed for the pain. Anyway he stuck on Vespertine by Bjork and just kept pressing it until he had a panic attack because he couldn't remember how to breathe. Not wise.

Not the way I play it. I hide in the corner with a sniper.

Was it morphine that you were on or something else? Is this your first experience with drugs?

I've had it a few times before. 3 in total I think. I was told to count to ten and each time I got to between 4 and 7. I was on quite a bit of morphine when I awoke and it's been different each time. Immediately waking up is fine. I was talking rubbish and laughing and singing each time (the radio was on, wasn't just making it up as I went along - The Kinks: Lola). Later on though, it's either been fine and a gradual move back to normality or nausea. And the nausea was horrible. It must depend on dosage. I'm sure I read somewhere that doctors have no idea how/why general anesthesia works. They simply know that it does work. Anybody else heard that?

Feeling a little inadequate now. Must fight something.

You just don't save those.

Do any of you guys like Liars? They reminded me of The National but more electro influenced when I heard their new album: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGHJJKSQ7NQ]Liars - No.1 Against The Rush (Audio Only) - YouTube[/ame] I might be totally wrong. I haven't listened to The National in a long time and never got into them really.

I made this thread because I was horrified after reading this threads from this site: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38996&highlight=feminism Figured I'd leave out the term feminist/feminism from the title and first few posts as it tends to scare people at the start and everybody begins on the defensive.

I'm glad you have the strength to behave this way. There isn't anything inherently wrong with wearing makeup (I'm not trying to say you were saying this btw) and it can be an important vessel for expression and can be a confidence thing for reasons beyond attracting other people (plus other things), but it's certainly not something that everybody should be doing. Certainly not everybody doing it for the same reason - that it is expected of them for sexual reasons. When it becomes expected is when it becomes a problem. It's the motives behind doing it that tend to dictate whether you are doing the right things. I'm glad you saw that you were doing it for the wrong reasons and it made me happy to read your post. Your final point was great and I wish more people understood this.

It's instances like this that really highlight the problems inherent in many societies. You've got all the statistics on how prevalent rape is, the statistics on women's pay, etc and then you've also got these ridiculous norms that appear in society that are just taken for granted, which I find just as shocking. If you don't conform then there must be something wrong. It's like if you dress a certain way then you are pretty much asking to be raped. It's so fucking wrong. It makes me deeply ashamed to be a man when it's seen as normal for a rapist/abuser to use the victim and the way that they behaved or the way that they dressed as a defence. You just did something inappropriate (to whatever degree of seriousness) and all you can say is that you had no control over it because you saw a bit of cleavage or leg or the contours of a female body. It demeans men (as well as obviously women) so much for people to accept this and sympathise with men who cross the line. It's saying we can't control our genitals so the women should have to behave in a certain way because we aren't going to change. It's a rape culture and it really freaks me out that I've been born into a place where this goes on and so much of the population aren't ashamed and aren't trying to work hard to eradicate it and change perceptions.
