Dr. Ranj: "It has never been harder to be a young person." Me: Mmmkayy...

this lady setting in the middle has no respect for the other opinions she's laughing and making fun of other people's opinions this is absolutely irreparable 

"The idea that a family need two parents is outdated." - What the fuck is this world coming to? Seriously.

Can you imagine them asking do we need mothers?

Why are we not asking, "Do we need mothers?' What kind of question is this? Do we need fathers. Really? That is a bloody ridiculous question.

I am offended by this question

Here is the problem with the UK : Corrupt politicians in collusion with corporations making promises while increasing their influence over the country for example allowing them to establish monopolies and exploiting the working poor. We have a stupid and drunk majority that is too blind to see that their money is being stolen by the corrupt establishment. Instead of focusing on this fact they run after the poor taxi driver as if he has their money stashed in his trunk or the broke cleaner at mcdonalds as if their tax money is in his bucket. 

Simon z rabbit. Fuck off you racist. The scum in my toilet is worth more than you.

Spot the fat ugly feminist

That footballer was later found innocent and it was proven that the girl, had indeed lied. How is support a jury judicial system supporting 'rape culture'. Presumably, the alternative that the obese women is demanding is a totalitarian judge who bases his or her (her preferably) decision on instinct rather than fact.

this fat ass isn't very educated

Britian is one of the most sexiest countries? What, more sexiest then those countries that stone women to death for having sex outside of marriage, or poor boiling hot oil on them? Damn, seems like they've gone to shit.

I class myself as a feminist, but a feminist with a pragmatic approach. YOU CANNOT drop the rules of evidence and make it easier to convict in the cases of rape. Radical feminists need to use logic and accept the fact that you can't prosecute without hard evidence! I admire that they're so passionate about the subject but they mustn't let emotion get in the way of common sense.

16:00 I don't think he's quite right on that one. Most people I know, don't have a choice about politics or religion or any other ideology they've been brought up with from an early age. The brain absorbs as a child and afterwards, it's quite hard to let go and wonder into the unknown. It is reasonable to call it human nature. After all, people are meant to survive and breed, not to have doubts all the time. So people just mindlessly repeat the same tape over and over again and it takes great skill to talk them out of the ideology ingrained into them. The one exception is with people who have been subjected to rational inquiry over and over again and that happens very rarely.

'cannabis gives you schizophrenia.' it would be funny but it's so scary because so many people share this silly silly view.

bullshit

More to the point, why was it ever made illegal? Just google 'cannabis old bottles' and realise it was a commonly used medicine before prohibition

If my sister looked like that id go on heroin too

I really dislike the fact as soon as Peter started talking about the endocannabinoid system they just laughed and said "we'll google it later"... It makes me quite angry because it's a classic example of how uneducated people are on the matter. They think they know everything yet they won't take him seriously. It's a never ending battle and I have the upmost respect for him not giving up. Peace. 

The reason the government and police care so much about the prohibition of cannabis is not because it is a dangerous substance that makes people aggressive and should be kept off the street, it is because dealers are making money from an illegal market without paying tax, where I live in Scotland the police are so relaxed about personal use that if you are found to have a small amount they let you go without taking it from you. Cannabis is so much safer than many legal drugs such as alcohol which can damage the liver, kidneys and stomach. Of course cannabis can damage your lungs if inhaled, all smoke has dangerous chemicals, the alveoli in our lungs are very sensitive and can be easily damaged by chemicals in smoke and can slow respiration as the lungs find it hard to take in oxygen if their alveoli have been destroyed. The fact is Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol the active chemical in cannabis is not harmful in any way, it is simply a chemical similar to those found in our body which belong to a group of neurotransmitters called endogenous cannabinoids, these chemicals attach themselves to receptors in the brain and nerve endings and can give a relaxing feeling or cerebral uplifting high depending on the strain of cannabis used. Many researchers believe that CBD or Cannabidiol (which is legal in the UK) has a wider scope of medical applications than its counterpart THC, I agree with this as CBD acts more like a pain killer than a psychoactive drug, instead of feeling a brain high the CBD binds to receptors in your nerve endings rather than receptors in the brain. Technically it is legal to use cannabis in the UK, but only if it is a CBD strain with no THC (you can actually buy CBD or hemp oil online).

It really disgusts me that Tim mutters Hippies after seeing the Poll Bar say more people would like to see cannabis used medically in the UK. It's stereotypical Pricks like him that are making people continue to suffer. I'm a keen smoker for both reasons and I think it's about high time we follow in America's footsteps. Pretty sure the statistics and facts given by US Politics and Law Enforcement that Crime has gone down and profits to the tax office have gone up into the stratosphere. It almost makes me ashamed to be British as we have slid backwards on the global social scale. Get the cockroaches out of office and put some people with some actual sense in the cabinet for once.
