Will Ferrell, eh? That means there's a 50/50 chance the video is funny...

Very nice!

They are DVDs actually... Quasi-skepticism for the win!

There should be a warning at least. I mean, I've seen footage of seals getting pickaxed (Earthlings), but that photo is even worse. And I decided to stop looking at shit like this as well. It just isn't healthy to have too much of this stuff in your system. Well, at least not for me anyway.

It won't go away anyway. It's the kind of image which stays with you forever. Jeez, thanks for nothing man!

In "dissecting" the Australian psyche in 20 minutes, the teacher told the class, "Just stating the facts, guys. Australia is known as the dumbest continent. Literally, college was unknown there until recently, so speak slowly". Obviously just a plain old dimwit. She reminds me of the average Indian operator actually. "Oh, and don't attempt to make small talk with them about their pets, OK? They can be quite touchy about animals." Because we don't torture cows and throw dogs in dump trucks, etc? Anyway...

Kinda wish I never saw that last pic, bluntmuffin. What the fuck, man?

Very interesting. Thanks a lot for that, Mycot.

There's a few stories like that. The men in black...

Military-Style Assault on Marijuana in Cali's "Emerald Triangle"

Dear friends, Muntaha's sixteen year old son was abducted from a peaceful democracy protest by Syrian security forces. She has spent the last eight weeks scouring the country for her child -- braving warnings from the Syrian regime that her other son would also be "disappeared" if she continued with her search. Our urgent action now can help her son and the thousands of other disappeared Syrians. Since March, almost 3000 people have been taken by regime forces and disappeared into secret jails. The international community has spoken out, but done little to stop this attack -- but India, Brazil and South Africa have close ties to Syria and could push for an international human rights delegation to find the missing and reunite families with their loved ones. Our massive global membership can force key leaders to act now, pressuring Syria to allow an international delegation to investigate the thousands of disappeared. Sign the petition -- it is being delivered by high profile media outlets around the world including the Times of India, the Guardian, CNN, and Der Spiegel: http://www.avaaz.org/en/syrias_disappeared/?vl India, Brazil and South Africa dragged their heels on a Security Council resolution that would have allowed for strong international action on Syria. Still, they remain committed to democracy and peace and have called for an end to the brutality of Assad's regime. We can hold them to account for their actions and demand they use their close Syrian ties to protect the democracy activists. An international human rights delegation could effectively reunite Syrian families and end the terror of disappearances for good. The international media has already stepped in to help with our call. Today, major newspapers are launching massive interactive web tools that tell the stories of disappeared people like Muntaha's son, explain the political crisis in Syria and link to our petition for urgent action. These newspapers not only reach readers around the globe, but also reach opinion makers, world leaders and decision makers directly. Our campaign makes this all possible! When democracy protests rocked the Arab world, Avaaz sprung into action and, with thousands of donations from around the world, we broke a media blackout in the Middle East -- supporting protesters across Syria and Yemen. Since then, our network of citizen journalists has generated almost 20% of all TV coverage out of Syria and our work with the emerging democracy movements has helped build a real alternative to the dictators that refuse to step down. But brutal regimes are still clinging to power and the courageous activists need our help now. Sign the petition to find Syria's disappeared and forward to everyone: http://www.avaaz.org/en/syrias_disappeared/?vl Egypt and Tunisia showed that people power can win against oppression. Our global community has supported these democracy revolutions, helped broadcast the stories of the brave activists and the violence against them, and forced our governments to action. Now if we act together we can help find Yazan and the thousands of other stolen Syrians and see the dawn of a peaceful, democratic nation in Syria.

Weirdo.

Forums? How about the world?

Why wait 9 months to have another protest? Haven't you been reading the news lately? http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=28603

Yeah, I love that one.

Yeah, I've got a story that's pretty much identical to that one. The tests are unreliable as hell. If you got tested positive for THC (and really had it in you), shouldn't you just appeal the charge whenever there's no measurable amount left in your body? 8 out of 158 isn't good?

Blueberry is on SBS right now. Bravo, SBS!

That's good to know man! Cheers!

I wonder if SA could sue WA for discrimination? So he's talking about something like 0.001% of Australia's population? Welcome to Redundancy City Warning: Deja vu may occur frequently Nice statement.

Thanks, Undergrounder. Enlightening post. Jonstoned - Australia really needs an equivalent to LEAP, eh?

Surely a stoner somewhere has sued for libel?
