    you are supposed to give 10% of your earnings to the church right? as a "tithe."
    i've at least heard something like this.

    i just figured out i spend ~8% of my take home pay on weed.

    so two more percent and i'd be a rasta i think :ssmokeit:



    :biggrinjester:


    maybe this year i should just buy a pound with my tax return and smoke that all year. i would need to vacuum seal that shit, because an ounce tends to get too dry near the end.

    who am i kidding? my tax return isn't that much..

    FYI - The correct term is Rastafari

    The word rastafarian is considered rude and disrespectful.

    Care to elaborate Mike? Is there some reason for this?

    I thought Rastafari referred to the person of Haile Selasse himself?

    Why is it disrespectful? It would seem to be cognate of Christ-ian.

    You're correct it does. However the term Rastafari is also the correct name for the religion and it's practitioners.

    It's like saying Christianism or Buddistianity.

    I think it's a connotation associated with "ism".

    Mike (though generally a douche) is right, I believe. Rastafari is the correct term for individuals, groups, the whole, and jah. Rasta should also be acceptable, but not as broadly, and not applied to jah himself.

    ....it means that rastas are essentially strange messianic jews, and snoop dog is a pop-culture thug?

    I can't make a taco without it falling to pieces on first bite. They really frustrate me and make my plate dirty.
