Depends on your religion...

in the bible there is a story about man trying to reach the heavens. In retaliation god scattered their tongues. that was the birth of language, religion, race, and all the other things we use to seperate each other by imaginary standards. There is one god. and hes not making his list and checking it twice to see whos accepted jesus christ as their personal savior. did the native americans go to hell? they never heard of a jesus christ. and if they did, that wouldn't be a god i'd be willing to worship.

You are looking at this from a limited perspective. You think...hey I learned from my mistakes, so can other people. I see in your post that you have the right idea about accepting that people do make mistakes and we shouldn't grind them into the ground for it. However, it's very naive to think that everyone will learn from their mistakes. Certain behaviors require judgment by the law in order to provide safety

i agree, the problem is, this countries laws don't focus on that. they focus on what they can tax and how to get more money. just look at everything... look how things are getting.

  All I know is that it was the want of weed that caused the situation, therefore, weed is not something I want part of.

not exactly. most normal people don't force people to do things to get what they want. weed is not addictive and therefore had no impact on his rationality

So in other words...if I term some action as evil it is only my judgmental opinion. So anyone doing anything "wrong" such as murder rape and theft....are not doing evil things as long as it is their opinion that it's ok to do so. And I should respect the murderers view as a human being that their actions were justified. I should just hope they learn from it and not consider it an evil act.

Hmmm interesting.

it's not about respecting ones actions or saying everyone is right. they will lean from thier actions in the log run and its not about justifying their actions, things will happen, bad will always come because we created it. Everything we do comes back pleasurable or less favorable depending on our actions.

I do have a negative story about weed...so, if you don't want to know, cease your reading, lol.

well if you think about it, all those problems came from the people, not the weed itself...

I have smoked weed and I hate it, I don't understand how people like that crap. It makes me feel weird and I laugh over the stupidest stuff...I couldn't wait for the effect to wear off.

It depends on how much you smoked and if it was laced with some thing else. Me personnally when I start having real bad asthma problems I have to go get something. It helps me breathe so much easier. I can only take so much chest tightning and breating problems from the asthma. I refuse to use an inhaler.

before it was illegal they gave it to athsma patients. it has so many uses

but i dnt think good and evil even exist.

What do you categorize the actions of persons who, open their home to foster children to nurture and care for them, and the persons who open their home to foster children and rape and abuse them? Are both actions of the same caliber? How you do define those actions in contrast to one another if not by the actions of good and evil?

bottom line, if you treat others how you want to be treated you will do well. that's what i follow, i used to do alot of wrong but i learned from it. every person deserves respect and consideration of their views as human beings. in this case - if one is acting out of care for another life he will respect it. the one who dosen't will eventually learn from his actions. life is a cycle. therefore the terms good and evil are not literal, but judgemental.

lots of people who aren't frequent smokers usually hav e a bad experience because : a) the quality was poor - if its not grown and harvested correctly it will be of poor quality. b) aren't used to the effects and therefore don't understand the nature. it actually isn't a high like i said before, just a good state of mind.

Yes, yes it would.  And it clearly didn't happen that way, now did it? 

the bible isnt meant to be literal. it is simply a book of lessons

Honestly God never said he made anything Perfect, he said it was Good in his eyes. Shoot, I look at the birds and clouds and Oceans and rain and Flowers and Fruit on trees...etc and it is all good in my eyes.

I agree 100%. but i dnt think good and evil even exist. good an evil are both one letter away from god and devil (irrelevant). in the bible the knowledge of good and evil is what we got when eve ate the fruit, seeking god's power. then decieved adam into the same. the truth is, god created us in his image and we have always tried to be like him. we create artficial versions of what he has before us. robots creation reminds me of god creating man. the movie terminator plays this out as if the same thing we've done to god, machines will do to us.

And Tv does not make people do nothing neither does music..People do it cause they want to not cause it is cool it is a cop-out to blame tv or music or this or that.
Yes I swear in front of my kids,I give my kids swear nights,they listen to eminem with me,they have watched family guy with me..And well My kids see the wrong learn from it it never becomes a ooo I need to sneak off and do this cause my parents are hiding it for some reason..

ur one awesome person, you know. i agree entirely. i just think people should maybe look for them selves and say screw "tradition"
No I think a lot of people try to be COOL and they copy what they see on TV and in Music. My dad swears but my mom would only Swear when MAD and we knew she was MAD! Maybe that is why she would do it...my brother and I would run when mom started swearing because we pushed her to the edge 

why are these words even abstained from? does anyone know why? what makes them different  from any othe word
??

Someone did not like them and bam they were deemed as bad..They should not be but after years and decades of being censored and deemed bad words they became different sadly but thats what happens when people get their panties in a bunch over what they dislike

perfection ceased to exist when we got the knowldge of good and evil : the ability to judge. that's why we are mortal and all must die. the bible teaches us that god warned us of this and eve disobeyed seeking god's power - judgement
