Me - addicted to Apollo??? What ever gave you that idea anyway? Just because
I've never missed a day in over a year? Just because I sometimes get up at
4:AM and log on? This is normal isn't it? =+=ANN=+=

What gives you the idea that Apollo isn't dangerous? My husband almost
killed me - 'TWICE' - because one of my friends on Apollo sent me big red
Thangs and put them on my door step in the dark of night. He tried to wring
my neck. =+=ANN=+=

To be honest, I really don't know if marijuana is physically addicting or
not. I came to that conclusion because of what my ex-son in law told me, but
I don't remember reading it anywhere! Personally, I think it is the 'lessor'
damaging on the list ----
1. Drugs
2. Alcohol
3. Tobacco
4. Marijuana
--- IF it damages at all! Of course, anything not done in moderation can be
damaging - even drinking too much water! I tried grass twice years ago - the
first time smoking it - the second, eating it in brownies. With the smoking
- it efected me strange - I litterly laughed for over an hour - at nothing!
That was fun, but I didn't like the sudden let down from it - one minute it
was there and the next, it was gone and I felt real 'down'! After eating it,
it made me sick and that was the end of that! I felt it took away my control
and I didn't like that! But I did come to the conclusion it was better than
booze if one is going to do that sort of thing. It didn't effect my husband
at all surprisingly. =+=ANN=+=

Date: 10/25/88  Time: 16:31:52

        I have been aquainted with pot since July, 1968.  I have gone
through periods where I didn't smoke it or think about it for half a year or
more.  At present I haven't felt the urge since January of this year.

        When I first smoked it, I liked very much how it made me feel.  I
desired it just as I would good ice cream.  I used to drink alcohol prior to
finding pot but gave that substance up totally.  It is not listed as a
physically addicting substance, at least not by legitimate reports.

        According to some reports, one puff will brain damage you for ever. 
This is what is spoon fed to kids.  Once the children find out they have
been lied to, they soon suspect other 'facts' they have been told.  Makes
for a great nation, don't you think?

        The children today who are holding up the "Drug Free America" signs
reminds me of the children from North Carolina who stand outside their
school and spout off religious sayings, having no idea of exactly what they
mean.  Brain washing is brain washing, some will no doubt retain it
throughout their life and a few will discover the truth.

        Ferd. Porsche was responsible for designing the 'suitcase' type,
four cylinder engine.  His son, Ferrie used the 36hp engine to manufacture
the first Porsche automobiles.  The early ones were basically VWs but made
with more exacting care and perhaps higher quality parts.
        If Adolph Hitler had not come into power, we may never have seen a
VW or a Porsche.  Heil Hitler!

Obviously something Rod enjoys is inflating rubbers an popping them.
Perhaps this could be viewed as a psychological need to fulfill lost
or missing manhood with aspirations of bursting rubbers with his own semen.
Vaguely entertaining himself while being totally removed from the
reality during these acts, I'm curious to know who he does it in front
of the most. That would be the key to his sexual fantasy.

Would it be fair to NOT give those (people) whom are doomed as sinners
a chance to break from sin or just to condemn them outright and
be done with it?

Being homosexual does not necessarily deprive you of the desire to have
children. Many gays are parents, and enjoy it the same way that straight
people do.

Hi........everyone.......

Isn't it funny how we can all answer someone else's argument by going
off on a completely different tangent?

Pretty soon you start getting impassioned messages back about things
you never said, and about subjects you never raised?

Oh, well, guess that's serendipity!

        No, you do not get a free month... But at least we won't have 4
years of run-a-way inflation, and higher taxes for middle income people.
And an administration that has some morals in their platform.... That is far
better then anything I can give you.

        Mike, you may be missing the point.  According to many
Christians, some people are going to hell forever.  Even if everyone
was given an equal (ha ha) chance to avoid it, God would know that a
certain percentage of those who He created were Romper Room rejects and
would end up in His own private troture chamber where forever a soul
would be punished because it just wasn't up-to-par, so to speak.
        Anything that would even build, or cause to be built, or
allowed to be built, a place of eternal punishment, would, in my humble
opinion, be a Sadist of the first magnitude.
