speechless......

what the hell?

this is madness :wall:

thats how they think.... youngsters and their rap music... think the only way to respect is violence and crime.... there is more to life than what your "homies" think about you.... i could give two shits less what people think about me... i have respect; without retaliation... imagine that

i guess i could be considered a "youngster" myself (kind of, haha)

but i consider myself to be a respectful and thoughtful person. there's nothing i like more than a deep conversation with my closest friends discussing everything that we see as "wrong" with the world today.

it saddens me to think that many people my age are going down this route of violence and crime to earn themselves a bunch of hollow respect from their "homies".

i wonder if they are really ever happy? i doubt it.

you get one shot at this life (from what i imagine) why waste it? surely you want to make the most out of the incredibly short time we have?

rant over, each to their own i guess.. :(

look.. you can sit there and talk about how people shouldnt turn to voilence, give potheads a bad name, act like gangster rap hard asses, do things to prove to their homies or whatever you wanna say.. then you turn around and say school of hard knocks is accelerated curriculum??? you obviously have no idea what you are talking about..

if you went to the "real" school of hard knocks and got the accelerated curriculum you would realize that this life is a dog eat dog world.. yes there are pockets of peace and tranquility.. they are called the suburbs which is probably where you are from. do you think its any coincidence that the gang bangers and hardcore drug dealers are from poor inner city areas? or third world countries? its because there they struggle to SURVIVE... struggle to eat, struggle to have shelter. when you put a dog trapped in a corner fearing for its survival it will bite.

gangs and voilence spawned out of neccessity not out of boredom. it is a way for people to survive in areas where it is not easy. these people will kill you for your shoes, your watch whatever and not think about it.. a lot of the third world peeps have seen mas governmental violence and so it is nothing to off someone if they feel it needs to be done.

also if you had been to the "school of hard knocks" (laughs) you would realize that the SECOND you show weakness your ass gets eaten up.. and thats just in life PERIOD.

you wanna talk about the game? theres a million reasons why pot will never be legal and it has nothing to do with the voilence and the game, if that were the case they would legalize it and case closed no more problems.

the truth is that because it is illegal, that makes it a lucrative way to make money. when you are around ANY illegal way to make money that is not regulated by big brother you enter into a truly different world. people will do what they have to do to get what they want. they will step on anyone and sell anyone anything to get more money. its like the animal kingdom, those at the top of the chain feed on whats below, and those at the bottom get tore up.

now just to clarify let me explain.. growing a decent crop selling it to five or six of your buddies is not the game... not even close. im talking about moving hundreds or thousands of pounds of drugs over borders across state lines using boats, mules, mail and any other transportaion method. this is where the money is at and this is what the game is about. i would say less than .00000001 percent of people on this board have experienced any part of the real game. but it does have the same attributes when you trickle down to the lower eschelons.. movin pounds for middlemen..

continuing on with that said.. in the game, if you show weakness, you will be walked over.. you get walked over once, it will happen again. you build a reputation for allowing people to fuck you.. you will get fucked. people pray on weakness and you cant have any.

believe me it would be tight if everyone would just be business like and striaght up, not pinching, shorting, jacking or any of that but it happens.. and its not a rap song, its not from watching too much bet.. this is real life shit that happens believe it or not, its not just for entertainment. money gets power and power rules all. money corrupts, and power corrupts absolutely. you can talk all you want bout how ignorant ppl sound and how ur a lover not a fighter whatever but your talkin about shit you dont know about. we all wish that the world was peachy but it aint, so you gotta play by the rules or get outta the game

oh and just to clarify.. it has nothing to do with age. its a philosophy of living just like anyone elses..

some people meditate and believe the world is good and everything works right

some people believe the world is in chaos and they need their gov. to protect em

some people believe that they are the only ones who can influence their own lives and act accordingly

people are a product of their environments and interaction with said environments.. i know nice caring loving people that would help anyone and i also know 60 year old men who would soot you dead in the street if you tried to cross em in any way.. just another way to live, not right, not wrong, just different

And as far as the suburbs thing goes, you need to check my boy Grow's f*cking resume, cuz he is the supreme definition of making something from NOTHING. And since you know every aspect of the "game" what the hell you doing even posting? Shouldn't you be out pushing weight, right now? You should be flipping them bricks, right? Feeding your mule and what-not? Seems to me like you got your priorities backwards...

your right i do know bout the game, ive been a part of it, i never liked it, didnt like who it made me, or how i lived my life when i was in it, and im out but that doesnt mean i dont know what im talkin about.. make fun, post your funny lil pics and whatever you want but whether you want to believe it or not thats how the real world works gentlemen.. i dont expect you to believe it because youve never been a part of it as far as i know..and its admirable making something from nothing, but working a job and slangin are two completeley different aspects of life. different rules, different priorities.. like it or not its the truth.

thats the point... im not gonna sit here and defend myself and offer up my experience in "the game"... just take it that i DO know what im talking about, did not in no way come from what anyone would consider a suburb, and have "got out" as they say.... dont let my speech fool you, im no upperclass white boy that has had it made.... what i was saying is that there should be no "weed game"... if we could all just grow our own and keep it to ourselves and avoid all the bs associated with the underground blackmarket and the different set of rules/ethics that it operates by, then yes, it would be a major advancement in the legalization of our favorite illegal plant..

it all depends on what the person has done to me , id probally let go money or weed or small shit like that , but if anyone fucks with my daughter or any of my familly then i would have to retaliate. my lil girl is more important than life itself to me, if anyone harms her then im going to retaliate in a big way and consequences dont even come into it .

i totally agree with you there.. thats not what i got from your first few posts so i apologize.. but the sad thing is that if its illegal, and money can be made, its going to attract the wrong kind of attention if proper procedures are not followed, no matter how harmless the plant is... and the weed game really aint shit compared to the ex, coke, and h game.. its like kindergarten lol

People in their ever persistent pursuit of righting the injustices done to them. Everyone's presented a legitimate foundation for their own belief, in the end, it's people's differences that create the struggles you see, which in turn prompts the violent and heinous acts committed. Fight to the top, fight to stay at the top or stay at the bottom and watch everyone else fall from the top.

It sounds rough, and it generally is if you choose to play that game, but people will (when they can) place themselves in an environment that will placate their social nature. So if they don't want trouble, for the most part just living away from it will do just fine. Still, some battles have to be fought.
