Honeo, I am a brother of a fraternity also. It is difficult to describe to those outside of the system the value of what you gain by being inside. What fraternity did you pledge?

My hardworking grandfathers and father can assure I will never be in a position hoping a next check comes. Your misfortune gives you a right to the money of others?

You assumed wrong. I come from a middle class family. THEY EARNED THEIR MONEY. You have absolutely no right to it. None, whatsoever. But, the government has fostered a generation like you who leech and suckle off of the government. All you want is those who have earned their money to help your...

He's fantastic. His idea's on foreign policy are a bit extreme and I don't think are sound when it comes to executing them. However, he doesn't have the appeal necessary to be a true contender. If he were hypothetically elected, he'd do our nation wonders with his economic policies, drug war...

Yes he does. I believe those are two different things though. The Tylenol is being using as a pain reliever. I am talking strictly of recreational cannabis use, not serving any one certain purpose. I understand the concept of instant gratification. I am asking if it is wrong or right...

Drugs are an immediate venue to instant gratification. They give an instant sense of pleasure. That's why people use them. You feel free, lifted, high, good or whatever have you immediately. Whereas waiting for those emotions to come to you would be the opposite of seeking instant gratification...

Why is it a problem? Why is living for now an issue? Unless you can guarantee me a later, why ought I live for it? I could die tomorrow for all I know.

I was arguing with my father about the legalization of cannabis. From a freedoms standpoint, he agrees that it ought to be legalized. However, he questions why as a society we need drugs at all. Why do we need instant gratification? I question why instant gratification is wrong? What...
