Thanks for sharing! Your comment was really interesting, though it was sad. Crazy to think about how lives improved with time/technology...I wonder if someday our grandchildren will think our ways are primitive/hard work the way we look at this?
hahahha Mark S. you crack me up. 2nd time I've seen your hilarious comment on here...
Some people will say "be polite and not passive-aggressive" but I'd imagine someone asking the wrong person "nicely" might end up getting assaulted.
I think we have all gotten WAAAY too into technology (and up our own butts) to remember how to treat each other nicely in general. So much smart-phoning instead of having a nice conversation with the person across from you when you're at restaurant...I feel like everyone has forgotten how to treat each other because technology got in the way of basic human interaction. I remember when "call-waiting" was first showing up on our land-lines...and a friend of mine was talking about how rude/awkward it is when someone leaves a conversation, and then has to determine WHICH conversation is more important, and try to politely say "The other call I have now is more important than the one I am having with you" to whomever they need to hang up on. Technology is the death of manners.
I'll still say what I've said before regarding the legalization of Marijuana...I cannot believe that we still allow alcohol to be legal in comparison.
I don't hear about stoned people getting into accidents on Prom night, or stoned drivers in general, or how some guy murdered his wife while stoned, etc. Yet alcohol related deaths - be it violence, or car accidents, or whatever - seem to be far more prominent.
Perhaps it's because it is legal and easier to get ahold of, but most people I've met that smoke pot seem to just chill in their house and eat/watch tv/play video games/listen to music, etc. Alcohol seems much more dangerous by comparison.
