      The reason Wal-fart and other large stores haven't gotten in is because the city council promotes local business only.
      Using government to regulate business has always been a recipe for disaster though.

      HY-36 should be re-tolled; maybe it'll actually be repaved before 2035...
      Would agree. But the bigger threat right now is the JeffCo Beltway.

      MM is retarded; however if it exists, the state and cities should be smart enough to tax the F&%$ out of it.
      Then the dope heads would support a stipend-budget allowing for real-world, morally-sound programs.
      Not a bad idea honestly, but I think the state should link MM taxes to cover medicare/medicaid costs.

      Loud pipes are idiotic; do your hearing a favor and put on a proper sound reducing muffler.
      Idiotic and inconsiderate? yes... but should it really be illegal?

      Colorado State Patrol are good people when you're not being a complete assmunch.
      Cops do have bad days Erik.

      Srly; there's no thread locker here? ROFL.

      No, that would be the problem if one of us were. Because then it would become a friendship competition, and whoever wasn't friends with the mods would be banned/infracted/deleted.

        Not touching the politics, there's no point arguing ideology.

        As far as mods go- you're convinced there would be an issue. I'm not, all of us are friends. The need is to just split threads up and delete completely OT useless posts.

        Can powers be abused? sure. But then we'd all bitch about it and get the guy de-modded.

        As things currently are going, some moderation ability would be nice.

          I am convinced there would be an issue. You guys on here are worse than how I get on M3F when it comes to new/different people. Most people in this sub-forum are friends, but the last thing we want to do is keep people out.

          Seems like a lot of work to undo something that we would be putting a lot of work in to getting something to happen. So tons of work, but net vector = 0.

          As things currently are going, some moderation ability would be nice.
          Nice? sure. Not necessary imho. This subforum has been like this since I joined, and it's never been an issue.

            I'm probably going to regret starting this, but how is using a plant that grows out of the ground, that's only side effects are silliness and the munchies , for medical use idiotic?


            ...not even going to get into adults using for recreational use.

              Yes, we're pissed about Tim's useless posts. It's gotten to be quite an issue. His harrassment, completely nonsensical posts have got to end.

              He's fine with this thread, I could care less. But posting in every thread completely unrelated shit is super annoying and needs to stop.

              But that's not all. The constant OT thread derailment is ridiculous, look at Ben's detail thread. First you started talking about detailing cars yourself..in HIS thread, then we got talking about moderation shit. Net result, useless thread for Ben to offer detailing services.

              We need a mod.

                Also affects motor skills, motivation, and many other mental things too. It's not retarded for medical use, but the current system allows anyone to abuse the medical excuse for it.

                That's a messy subject for sure.

                  Maybe so, but it's not been handled maturely on the other side of the bridge either. Which is why there would be an issue.

                  Then take him out for a beer and make your point. But bitching about it and asking for someone else to deal with a simple issue is not very mature.

                  Forgive me for saying that I WAS NOT IN BUSINESS and that THOSE INTERESTED SHOULD GO TO BEN, as well as giving advice to those inquiring about possible detailing treatments to fight off acid-sprinklers.

                  Mods are for people who can't handle their own problems.

                    You do realize that we tried talking to Tim before, yes? Hasn't helped one bit. It hasn't been handled maturely on either side, this is true, but I'm beyond expecting him to change after being asked to post on topic and with recognizable input.

                    The thread doesn't read that way.

                        Well, for some reason, Tim is a good dude to me and not to you. And I haven't bribed him in any manner, so you've obviously done something wrong. And if you're going to ignore that and blame it solely on him, that's very shortsighted of you. I'm not saying he's innocent, but I'm not buying that you are either.

                          Fair enough, but for a long time all I said was "I can't understand you, please make sense."

                            doesn't really effect motor skills. motivation is situational. memory loss is true but also situational.

                              I would highly disagree here.

                              motivation is situational.
                              Studies show that the use of cannabis causes long term motivation issues. I'm not talking about motivation issues when you're high, but long term stuff.

                              memory loss is true but also situational.
                              I would agree there.

                                Studies show a lot of things. One of my best friends growing up smoked up to 5x daily, now has an MS in engineering from a good school and is working professionally.

                                Blaming the drug is an easy out.
