I used to post on the MJ forums every once in a while, and then I just stopped coming on to Hip Forums, and then I came back not too long ago...but anyways, on to the point of my post. In the short time that I've been here, I've been reading through (and replying to) some of the posts on here, and you guys just seem so fucking violent. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, alot of you guys are talking about beating the shit out of/shooting/fucking up the property of someone else over bud. I have to say, I was a little bit suprised, even though I guess I shouldn't have been, society as a whole seems to be spinning into a downward spiral of violence these days, but I figured maybe since you guys were fellow stoners, it would be different. As I said in another post, when I started smoking, I got peaceful, but apparently it has the opposite effect on most people.
agreed... there is too much violence posted around here... for a "hippie" site... which just goes to show you... no one here is a hippie.. or at least there are a very small handful of them here.... but oh well... violence is every where, just gotta deal with it... because it sure aint ever gonna change... theres especially alot of violence involved with marijuana when reading some of these posts... cant believe people would beat other peoples asses over a 20 sack and shit... stupid kids these days
yeah guys i agree violence is NOT the answer. I know it may seem 'cool' to be tough & make threats, but in the end its so futile and in a forum about Herb. Like relax and just enjoy what we are lucky enough to have here, all of it; the internet, freedom of speech (debateable) etc etc everyone light up n chill out
violence was always around, I don't think it is increasing much but that's what they've been saying...
its not increased... its just what sells so thats what the news posts... if there wasnt violence on TV... waaaaay less people would watch it... and well thats not good for big tv corps... so MORE VIOLENCE they say
yeah its a damn shame...i mean, everyone is mean sometimes..and everyone says thigns that could offend people. some people do it on purpose, others dont. i think sometimes ya could think by saying something "mean" is funny or witty or whatever at the time...but when it comes down to it, whats really the point of tyring to be rude? its not like you can really get anything out of it, ya know? and yes i think violecnce has always been around, i mean, why not? everyone has t heir own ideas and opinons, there is bound 2 be some disagreements that can get out of hand!
I don't smoke much with other people, precisely because there is so much violence over weed and stuff now. A guy I used to hang out with apparently threatened someone with a GUN over a small amount of weed, at that was the point at which I said "fuck it", and started keeping to myself with getting high. A nonthreatening, peaceful environment makes for so much fun and relaxation. It is the best! ~Nova
lol you were gone for like a month and i remember it being more violent in the past. there are more newbie smokers and less lifestyle-stoners i think, atm
I understand what you guys are saying, but people make mistakes and talk a lot of shit when they get ripped off. It's not a good feeling and you're pissed. It's natural to want to get some sort of revenge or justice. They usually come here to bitch and never do anything. Although it's when people start taking it way too seriously and actually USE violence, that's getting out of hand. That's when they have lost a sense of reality and let drugs play too big a part in thier life. There isn't much you can do but offer wise advice to make sure balance comes into play when dealing with any drug. If it's someone you know, stay far away.
