I need more people to smoke with. I don't have that many right now. And even so, all but one are not the types of people I take any enjoyment from being stoned with. Stoners are given the poor stereotype of being lethargic imbeciles slowly letting go of any power of mental acuity. A stereotype that's eaten up by the majority of stoners anyway. I'm not looking for one of them.
I used the name Bombast because I figured on a forum where I can yap about the most inane subjects I know the subjects I'm going to choose are those that have great meaning to me. Things I consider important. I find reasoning things through to facilitate better understanding very exciting. And out of everyone I know with whom I can talk about these sorts of things not one smokes pot. One thinks it makes people stupid. It makes me really angry but with most people, she's seems right.
I need to find more people who operate more than the simplest thought patters while stoned.

I disagree... naturally... To me any action requires choice which completely negates any situation where one is forced to be unhappy. Even if I were imprisoned tomorrow I am still left with choices on where I will go from there. If I feel I can not serve my time I can try to escape or I can kill myself. I agree that choices are not always easy to make but the difficulty is self made and the choice to submit to circumstance rather then overcome is something I have no pity for. We create life as we wish at whatever level we are comfortable creating it. What I urge is we all accept the ultimate levels of responsibility and realize that every choice is ours and whatever we perceive as good is no farther then a change in perception and actions.
So when you relate your difficulty over the choice between meat and veggies we are in agreement. What you perceive as the better way is being carried out by you right now so you embody what I mean. Now to me neither way is more right then the other, which is my other point regarding perception.
So back to our grenade jumping friend and your friends assertion there are no selfless acts. Yes you may say he was selfless by saving the lives of his friends but only because you are not him, you do not stand in his shoes. If you were you would be driven by your own desire to carry out an action which would be selfish. I know there is a thick negative connotation to that word but really all it means is you are doing something of your own accord. The living god. So you see the action is both selfish and selfless simultaneously, a duality that spreads throughout every concept in existence.
