new york is just a figment of the collective imagination. the united states, too. and dont get me started on the un.
ways and means they say...ways and means to frigging ruin my life, i gotta get out of this god forsaken state
nah, new york is a figment of the imagination. it only "exists" because we imagine it to. we also imagine that certain specific people have more or less amounts of authority, so we allow "police" people and "congress" people make decisions for us on how to live our lives. but they aren't real things, just constructs of the mind - of everybody's mind. if everyone woke up tomorrow and decided there was no state of new york, the land and buildings and people would still be there, it would exist, but it wouldnt be new york anymore. if people woke up and just decided that america was all just play acting, then there would be no more cops or judges or lawmakers. the people would still exist, they wouldnt die or disappear, they'd just no longer have any of the made-up authority. the laws against marijuana are all just made up too:sifone: course just cause all this stuff is made up doesnt mean its not more sensible to play the game and follow the rules sometimes
exactly. made up games are the easiest in terms of changing the rules. this particular rule is tough to change, but its possible
Legalize it? How come we never thought of that. And, by the way I have been to Albany, New York. It may exist but I would not want to live there.
