Mav: >I have no idea, you tell me. I don't know either but I'll bet we can agree on a ~ number. Pick one for conversation... A. $50 B. $100 C. $200 D. $500 JB
Well I am no expert but I have friends that spend more then $500 on weed alone in a month let alone a year. Now once you start talking about hard drugs like coke or crack who knows. I think all those numbers are way too low. We have some resident users on ET, maybe they will chime in here, but those numbers look way to low for annual amounts.
>Well I am no expert but I have friends that spend >more then $500 on weed alone in a month let alone >a year. Ok, that explains it all. Never mind. JB
Mav, you really should be more careful -- you're careless, blabbering style makes such an easy target. In an exchange centered around a careless overstatement you defend it with an even MORE careless and ignorant overstatement. From this post... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=451163#post451163 Mav: >Clearly fish are prey in the ocean to all larger >fish and ultimately fish are eaten, they do not >die of natural causes. Ok, I simply typed in "fish death natural causes" into Google. The following is a selection of links and select quotes from those links (most are goverment fish agency sites). http://www.blacklakeny.com/summerkillwinterkill.html >Dead and dying fish are an ugly sight.

Theories as to what causes these fish deaths range from man-made dams to poison leaking out of the soil.

The all came from the FIRST PAGE of results. Why do you run your mouth of so often about things that you obviously know nothing about. You really should at least use a Google filter on your output. Once again your concrete statement turns into a joke (that's where you always say when you get nailed). I'll happily keep diggin and show the same in the ocean far and wide if you need it. JB Your $500 a month blunt friends could do better than this
Turok, what is your point. I am not a fish expert nor a drug expert, never said I was. So what is your point? You have no retort for the drug argument so now your going back to fish mortality rates to win your argument. What is up with that? I don't need to be more careful, i'm not going to research the percentage of fish that die under all different circumstances. My argument was valid about drugs and its valid about catching a fish or having them eaten by another fish. You can show all the stats you want, but it doesn't change the facts. By the way, why do think dolphins, whales and sharks out live small fish 10 to 1? Hmm, I guess it's not because they are at the top of the food chain. Face it, your crack dealer argument held no water. Bye bye.
>Turok, what is your point. I am not a fish >expert nor a drug expert, never said I >was Well, that IS my point. Many of your statements that you present as fact are not even REMOTELY fact and in FACT are not even solid opinions that you can support when challanged. Once again a Mav fact turns into a joke. JB
Wait a minute. You find a link on the web to back up your claim and you say that is a fact? How do you know? So if I find a link for you that shows that there are Aliens from outer space living in this country, you would call that a fact? Oh my god, you are not serious. Dude, stop now, before you dig yourself deeper. So I guess from now on anything I post from the Bush administration can be considered fact because heh, it's from the government. LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!! You are too funny. I think the only person laughing harder then I am is your wife after you pull your pants down! LMAO!
