Prague, Prague, Prague, ah yes! It's just outside London isn't it.

Why don't you have war there then?

it's just people from the uk tend to think of them as countries as oppose to regions.

Unless you're from Yorkshire.

Were taking over this forum.

I thought it was always like this. A poll of the entire sight would probably yield different results however.....

Britain is in Europe on all levels. The only case you could make for it not being in Europe is on a incredibly tenuous geographical level, and even that doesn't stand up to any rational analysis.

Britain has been a part of Europe since the year dot, and it always will be.

It's another example of some people trying to twist all avalible realities to suit their political ends. Ignore them.

I had an English teacher once, from Britain, who thought it was not part of Europe. Of course, I always knew it was.

Other countries that probably confuse people include:

Mexico
Russia
Egypt

I always thought that Britian was a part of Oceania.

Are you saying I can't buy it here in Brooklyn?

EDIT: Not that I EVER would.

Ok, then again, it would be included. Perhaps.

In Minnesota and some other parts of the US, the pot laws are kind of a sham. Here they will only ticket you for a few reasons.

-You are young.
-You are doing some other illegal thing.
-They see you using it or showing/buying/selling it in public.
-You are annoying them (be nice to the police).

The penalty in Minnesota is a $100 fine for up to 42 grams; it is handled like a parking ticket, they don't arrest you.

I think most people here don't want it to be legal but don't want the laws enforced too vigorously either.

Yea, actually I cut thorugh the legal niceties in describing the situation here, too. Theoretically, buying pot is still forbidden; only the law is not enforced in cases where you own less than 5 grams (for personal use). 'Coffeeshops' are allowed by regulation, not law, to have a certain stock. The police will still crack down on marihuana producers, leading to a slightly schizophrenic situation - coffeeshops can have pot in store but technically they cannot buy it from anyone. This has led to calls for pot to be fully legalized, but the Netherlands is bound by international treaty not to do so.

The problem is also that with it being technically, but not quite illegal, there can be no public awareness campaigns or adequate treatment to prevent people from wasting their lives on overuse of marihuana. It is an insidious drug, but throwing people in jail over it probably is a case of the cure being worse than the illness.

And flowers and pork. And according to the documentary I watched earlier today, a lot of pollution too, especially gases (methane, sp?) liberated by the 15 million pigs and 10 million cows sh!t!
