[14:18] D3V: Well, I got the green light to write a "both sides of the argument" paper, in which I'm going to totally anihilate every point of why it is illegal.

[14:22] System: D3V has left the chat

[14:26] !King_Amazon!: My philosophy professor gave me an A+ on my Legalization paper and told me it was the best paper he had read in a while

[14:26] !King_Amazon!: We were just supposed to pick a topic and argue it

[14:27] !King_Amazon!: He's also mormon

[14:27] !King_Amazon!: Legalization is fun to write about if you know what you're talking about

[14:29] D3V: I'm just going to try to focus on the effects it has on the individual and society, and I figure i'll be okay.

[14:30] !King_Amazon!: I'll scrounge up my paper when I get home so you can read it if you'd like

[14:30] !King_Amazon!: I covered pretty much all of the topics

[14:30] !King_Amazon!: and then some

[14:30] System: Thanatos has joined the chat

[14:30] !King_Amazon!: even has sources cited

[14:30] Thanatos: oh herro

[14:31] !King_Amazon!: herro how all rou

[14:31] D3V: yeah dude I'd enjoy that, I can see some of the points you took.

[14:31] Thanatos: D3V, don't make yourself sound like a jackass when writing this paper

[14:31] Thanatos: Be informed.

[14:31] D3V: It's not a serious paper, it's only supposed to be 2-3 pages.

[14:31] !King_Amazon!: oh, I can't remember how long mine was

[14:31] !King_Amazon!: this was a good year ago or so

[14:32] D3V: Yeah it's not going to be like the shit I write on Zelaron, I actually go through edit and resite my papers before turning them in.

[14:32] !King_Amazon!: it was a formal research project, though

[14:32] !King_Amazon!: or some bullshit like that

[14:32] D3V: On here it's just add spewing shit..haha.

[14:32] D3V: yeah I know.

[14:32] D3V: I'll post it on here once I finish and turn it in.

[14:33] !King_Amazon!: Actually, I have it with me right now

[14:33] Thanatos: do it. You can ask the real weed smokers our input :D

[14:33] !King_Amazon!: It was actually like 7 pages

[14:33] !King_Amazon!: I don't think this is the final final final version though

[14:33] !King_Amazon!: there might be minor typos

[14:34] D3V: it's straight dued.

[14:35] D3V: dude* Rough drafts essentially have the points that are to be made, final is just usually for grammatical corrections, etc.

[14:35] !King_Amazon!: Are you AIM capable at the moment?

[14:35] D3V: no unfortunately not.

[14:35] D3V: you could copy/paste it to a PM?

[14:35] !King_Amazon!: not sure how the formatting would hold up

[14:35] !King_Amazon!: I'll just post it in a thread for you

[14:36] D3V: alright thanks dude.

[14:36] !King_Amazon!: http://zelaron.com/forum/showthread....242#post660242

[14:37] !King_Amazon!: BTW, I wrote that at like midnight the night before it was due after no sleep for 2 days

[14:37] !King_Amazon!: I pretty much BSed my way through it

[14:37] Thanatos: uh oh

[14:37] !King_Amazon!: I don't even know why he graded me so well

[14:37] Thanatos: you just gave d3v your full name

[14:37] !King_Amazon!: oh shi-

[14:37] Thanatos: he's gonna hack you not

[14:38] Thanatos: now*

[14:38] D3V: huh

[14:38] !King_Amazon!: I hate reading shit I wrote in the past

[14:38] !King_Amazon!: I always think I sounded like a retard

[14:38] !King_Amazon!: I did, in that paper

[14:39] D3V: I can tell this isn't up to your par

[14:39] !King_Amazon!: I was rushing a lot, though. And I hadn't prepared at all.

[14:39] D3V: haha no offense, but you still seem to get the point accross.

[14:39] !King_Amazon!: Yeah, it was meant to be done over the course of about a month of researching and such

[14:39] !King_Amazon!: I think the guy was just smoking crack when he graded it

[14:39] !King_Amazon!: He pretty much sucked my cock when he gave it back to me

[14:39] D3V: maybe he's a hippie and agrees.

[14:40] Thanatos: how the fuck do you get the formatting characters taken away from Word?

[14:40] Thanatos: I forget

[14:40] !King_Amazon!: something about show formatting

[14:40] Thanatos: I don't like seeing a dot inbetween every word

[14:40] !King_Amazon!: I don't remember the hotkey

[14:40] Thanatos: me neither.. it was CTRL+ something

[14:41] !King_Amazon!: shift+F1

[14:41] !King_Amazon!: what a random hotkey

[14:41] Thanatos: thanks

[14:42] !King_Amazon!: It's painful to read that. Even only being a year ago, it's so below what I could do now.

[14:43] !King_Amazon!: Oh btw, I think I might have made up one or two things

[14:43] !King_Amazon!: I can't remember

[14:44] Thanatos: Looks decent to me.

[14:45] !King_Amazon!: I don't like my style of writing. Then again, it was for philosophy.

[14:45] !King_Amazon!: I prefer technical writing, because then I don't sound like a faerie

[14:47] !King_Amazon!: I remember having a cheat-sheet sort of thing for the paper that basically summarized everything nicely, but I dunno where it is

[14:48] !King_Amazon!: I had to actually present this to the class and combat questions/attacks

[14:48] !King_Amazon!: Being in a 80% mormon class, there were a lot of arguments against me :P

[14:49] !King_Amazon!: Oh, my professor was a bit of a tree hugger environmentalist sort of guy, so that might have had something to do with me getting a good grade

[14:50] !King_Amazon!: I made an extra effort to put in all that good stuff about saving trees by using hemp for paper and shit

[14:51] D3V: hahaha.. That's excellent I just got done reading it.

[14:51] D3V: Not too bad.

[14:52] !King_Amazon!: It's comma heavy

[14:52] !King_Amazon!: I used to overuse commas a lot, and tend to do so still sometimes.

[14:54] !King_Amazon!: But yeah, it covers all of the points for legalization and counters the points against legalization pretty well.

[14:54] !King_Amazon!: It was hard to stand up to arguments against me in class, though, because I couldn't read the entire paper

[14:54] !King_Amazon!: I'm not good at arguing in person.

[14:55] Thanatos: Me and only 3 other kids in my debate class stood FOR legalization while we had the entire class against us

[14:56] Thanatos: there was this black girl on my side that had a really bad temper and she went off on this one girl that was all "im so holy, im above weed"

[14:56] Thanatos: it was funny

[14:56] Thanatos: She pretty much lost the debate for us

[14:56] !King_Amazon!: "Just the same, if the stories of drug money funding terrorism are true, a lot of that money would no longer be going toward terrorism, but rather toward our government." Man, I pulled that one right out of my ass.

[14:56] Thanatos: damnit..

[14:56] !King_Amazon!: I really dislike debating in person.

[14:57] !King_Amazon!: I think it probably has to do with my ADD (although I hadn't realized it until now)

[14:57] !King_Amazon!: I have trouble forming arguments on the fly like that

[14:57] Thanatos: ADD is made up.. derrrr

[14:57] !King_Amazon!: I can debate a lot better with typed words, since I have time to gather my thoughts better.

[15:10] D3V: I cannot find any websites that say factually that marijuana causes lazinses.

[15:14] D3V: odd.

[15:14] System: !King_Amazon! has joined the chat

[15:14] !King_Amazon!: You might want to look up Marijuana and Amotivational Syndrome

[15:15] !King_Amazon!: I believe there's speculation that marijuana causes that in teends

[15:15] !King_Amazon!: teens, rather
