16 in the UK, bro. I think you have to be 18 to smoke and drink though, and to join the army before 18 you need parental consent.

>grows brain-cells

oh man, I've got to try this stuff!
seriously though, all bullshitting aside, weed should most definitely be allowed when alcohol is, and I say that as someone that's never smoked in my life. Although OP's point that 'alcohol and cigarettes legal and more dangerous than most illegal drugs' is just fucking moronic. But OP is obviously either an idiot or a troll, so nobody should take that seriously in the first place.

>> No.1887349

Yeah, this thread is a fucking joke.

Imo it seems that technology has advanced way too quickly. The fact that we don't have complex robots yet is a good thing as technology has obviously gone way too far way too quickly. I say that based on the mildly askew rich/poor-balance of the world, and the changes in climate, and there are probably lots of other things that indicates this. The passivity brought about by luxury and the internet in the western world for example. It's not like all of us being rich, 'middle-class' is good for all of us.

We should long ago have placed restrictions on things connected with the technology, and the schools should long since have been reformed to adjust to our ways of life, to teach us critical thinking, and be aimed at 'spiritual' rather than materialistic needs.

So yes, I agree that western civilization is a fucking mess, but I don't agree with your arguments at all, trolling or not.

That's because they try to strike a compromise between culture and work.
There needs to be dedicated teams and governments that only care about fixing problems (From the top minds, like the Brain Trust), and the rest of the country needs to focus on giving meaning to their life.

Take a leaf out of the east's book, they have more culture and depth in art and community than the west will ever have.
