that awkward moment..
I see a lot of people saying that you should always talk with everyone, even your enemies. My question is what exactly should you be talking to them about? IE: Rite off the bat you (Germany) ally with England against France. there is plenty to talk about with England and the rest of the world, but what about France?
(note: this scenario[While happening in many games all the time] is not currently occurring involving myself or anyone that i know])

Convoy Error
The game ID is 59376 (I think). I am France and on the last turn I attempted to convoy an army from Picardy to North Africa. The enlarged map shows that Picardy attempted this move, and that the English Channel and Mid Atlantic Ocean attempted to convoy Picardy to North Africa. The unit in North Africa at the time successfuly moved to Tunis, and neither fleet was disloged. continued on post...

Log into Game Help
I am at a business conference and have told everyone about on-line diplomacy, and have gotten 7 players. I set up an anonymous private game, but three players got stuck in a meeting and could not log-in in time and can not join. The game is still in the first spring move. Since I created it, is there any way or anything I can do to allow these players to join the game?
Thanks in advance

Medical Marijuana
Yes cannabis is a tired subject and for some the medical aspect may be. If not, come be bored with me and state an idea supported by facts. Opinions are not welcome here. Non-credible sources are not welcome here.

Pro or against I don't care. Please just support any claims.

@Sic- I wish I did. I wrote some of my best college papers on weed. 4.0 stuff that got published in the next semester syllabus kind of stuff.

"What is Cannibus Cured Cancer" a film by Len Richmond. **Fantastic** and very thought provoking movie and cannibals....which is NOT necessarily "pot" as we understand it.

But seriously, the whole "medical pot" movement is just a cover to push us to full legalization. And anyone that has EVER smoked knows that pot is **way** better than fucking alcohol. I've NEVER seen a bar fight started because people were too high. I've never seen anyone have their stomach pumped because they were too high. Nobody has ever overdosed and died (to my knowledge) on pot. Alcohol is just a fucking wicked, evil drug...but legal. It's just bizarre.

I'm not going to mail you marijuana. I dont know where you live, but I'm sure the furthest you'll have to go is down the st. If you are in some kind of recluse situation where you can still have mail, there is a website called silk road that you can order drugs from, as long as you have tor.
Cant attest though, since I have never had the desire to buy drugs off the internet.

I'd rather not get an artificial high and never will.

Referenced fact.
I love how absolutely no one referenced the topic except "But seriously, the whole "medical pot" movement is just a cover to push us to full legalization" which I'd rebut but the people here obviously don't care about the thread.

I don't give a shit if you smoke, I don't smoke.

@ - Putin33 explain yourself properly or gtfo my thread you troll. You are not welcome since your one tracked mind wasted my time in my last one due to your inability to read nor give an apology. We agree on many things (based on my reading) but I am unwilling to discuss anything with you since you lack the ability to respond in a reasonable fashion.

Marijuana has no medical value. Synthetic THC can be produced without exposing people to the hazardous consequences of smoking marijuana due to the higher THC content & carcinogens. Marijuana usage is strongly linked to psychosis and leads to dependency (15% of people entering rehab report marijuana as the drug they primarily abuse).

As Krellin said, medical marijuana was simply an excuse used to push for legalization.
Marijuana is a better painkiller than iburpofen or any other parmaceutical. Fact.

Marijuana settles a stomach better than any pharmaceutical. Fact.
"15% of people entering rehab report marijuana as the drug they primarily abuse"

This doesn't mean its this abuse that has led them there.

I would wager more than 15% of people use marijuana regularly.
Putin: There are no proven hazardous consequences of smoking cannabis. The only reason such a high number of people entering rehab report it as the drug they primarily abuse is because they're sent to rehab by a court, not because they actually had a problem.

"This doesn't mean its this abuse that has led them there."

Who are you, Newt Gingrich? "Just because they went to rehab for marijuana, doesn't marijuana caused them to go to rehab. It makes sense if you don't think about it!".

They went to rehab because a court sent them there for using marijuana. Not because of a health problem, but simply because of the legal status of the drug. Understand nuance much?

"There are no proven hazardous consequences of smoking cannabis. The only reason such a high number of people entering rehab report it as the drug they primarily abuse is because they're sent to rehab by a court, not because they actually had a problem."

Just because you assert something, it doesn't mean it is true. Provide evidence that everyone in rehab for marijuana was sent there by a court.

And define "proven". You guys can always sit here and claim something is not proven with 100% certainty. I'm sure there are people who still maintain that tobacco smoking doesn't cause lung cancer. The fact is there are strong links, demonstrated over and over again, between marijuana usage and psychosis (See: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20110301/marijuana-use-linked-to-risk-of-psychotic-symptoms; Hall & Degenhardt, 2009, Adverse health effects of non-medical cannabis use. Lancet 2009; 374: 1383-1391).
Putin33 (111 D)

"Understand nuance much?"

Provide evidence much?
I don't know if you recall, but you made the initial claim that smoking cannabis was harmful. Perhaps you should provide the evidence.
Putin33 (111 D)
06 Jun 11 UTC
I just did. Can you read?

Any more excuses as to why you can't manage to back up something you claim is so self-evident?

So Putin, socialist and communist countries generally support Marijuana, why are you against it?
