I'm sooo glad they only achieved moderate fame in the nineties.

I place the blame on short, ugly guitar players

Wouldn't a combination of pot and violent video games make would-be criminals prefer staying home and snacking?

Marijuana causing violence? About the only violence stoners cause is an assault on a bag of cheetos.

Noel, hate to rain on your parade, but I've never met a truly angry pothead. At least not the type that wants to go out and shank someone. They may be pissed off at the guv'ment and want to get away from the Man, but usually that's all settled with a nice tray of brownies and some of those wonderful video games.

Now you and your cocaine-snortin' brother, there's a different story...

 
Glenechocreek 2008-07-05 09:54:40 PM  
To what does he attribute the violent antics of his own dear brother?

God, what a moran.

 
euge 2008-07-05 09:57:34 PM  
Yes, clearly there needs to be more violent video games and pot use to help curb the violent crimes in Britain...

Hey, Noel, you farking idiot, watch A Clock Work Orange, then shut the fark up.

you guys think potheads are all goofy nerds in basements playing xbox. Those gangbangers smoke chronic too. Not every stoner is a pacifist hippy. The difference? Minorities and education.

Yeah, the most aggressive thing I do when I'm in that state is order pizza toppings I'm not accustomed to.

Sounds like you just answered your own question.

Just because something doesn't affect everyone doesn't mean it doesn't affect someone.

Pot and video games? Why, that's brilliant! Excuse me for a moment.

Lots of people from all walks of life smoke pot. Some are assholes, some are not. Most tend to be mellower when they're high than when they're not, but some aren't. Making sweeping generalities is pointless.

Well gangbangers aren't violent because of the weed but because of the lucrative drug trade that is created by the War on Drugs. The War on Drugs is to blame for many problems in the nation, it's
kinda depressing.

NYZooMan:Just because something doesn't affect everyone doesn't mean it doesn't affect someone.

So? I mean, you can use that logic on anything. And they have used it on basically everything. Let's see, the list of things that would destroy the youth and morality for all time:

Novels
Women wearing pants
Bicycles
Jazz
Alcohol
Dancing
Swing
Marijuana
Rock and Roll
LSD
Liberal Beliefs
Communism
Violent Movies/TV
Sex in movies/tv
Rap Music
Violent Video Games
. . .

and the list goes on. This happens EVERY GENERATION! You'd think everyone would notice the patten by now.

Oh you silly person. You think you're better than the people, the man you've always idolized, and now it's gotten into your head.

 
InmanRoshi 2008-07-06 03:07:15 AM  
They say nothing is sacred on Fark. Religion, pop culture, politics, sexism, tragedy, death, celebrities self destructing ... it's all fair game.

But I have found two sacred cows that will get the average farkers panties in a wad like nobody's business ..... weed and video games.

 
No_47 [TotalFark] 2008-07-06 03:48:07 AM  
You'd think Farkers'd be more aware of sarcasm.

GOTHCA!

unrelatedly: Oasis = idiotic self-absorbed hacks. yes, they can write an acoustic guitar ballad, but the lyrics are total shiat and they're retards and they're just britney spears with an accent.

1979:

Isn't neo-naziism a philosophy that explicitly forbids chemical excess of any kind? Pride in the purity of the master race and whatever.

Or is that why he loses at "white power"ing?

OK, done thread-jacking. Carry on.

What about Alka Seltzer through a cane on a supersonic train? Is that okay?

 
boaby 2008-07-06 09:12:28 AM  
Its not video games and pot that make people into assholes. Asshole parents create asshole kids. First borns, second borns, third borns, etc. No one is safe. My brother is an asshole, not the kind of guy who would go and shank another guy. More like he's so pissed off that his life is shiat that he likes to boss me around. I'm talking about the kids who like the thought of others thinking they are violent/cool. Thats what its about, next time one of those little coonts pisses me off he's getting a kick/chop to the throat/solar plexus!!! That should floor him, then I'll set about him with kicks to the face n shiat!! OMG, I'm a violent stoner glorifying violence !!! Help me Mr Oasis man. Mr Manchester. Haha Manchester has more drugs in it than the USA :p In the words of my favorite song, "so fark You anyway"

 
Robokev 2008-07-06 09:27:32 AM  
Maybe he's on to something. I smoke dope and play violent video games and I want to pull his guts out with a rusty meat hook.

If moderate fame gets you the fastest selling album in history, then I'd love to see what real fame gets you.

THose guys are douche bags, plus, personally, i think the beatles are overrated.

Something to remember:

Oasis was moderately successful in America. So when they acted like the next coming of ::insert popular historical figure here::, all of us here were a little confused.

They really were/are that big in the UK, to my understanding.

It's all schtick. They make bombastic quotes to get you to notice them and talk about them. They purposely infused a little rock n roll attitude and rockstar ego into the post-Cobain nineties with songs about getting drunk and laid, when when most bands out there were shoegazing and singing about how their parents got a divorce and their mommy didn't hug them enough. God bless'em for it.

Hooligans: they're lurking everywhere!

Science has now shown that hooliganism is partly caused by marijuana used in combination with violent games*. In fact, 99% of hooligans have said that, at some point in their life, they have either smoked (or otherwise injested) marijuana, or have they have played a violent video game. Some of the worst offenders have done both at the same time (though rarely during any incidents of hooliganism). These latter types of extreme hooligans often appear at football games, shouting incoherent insults at the opposing goalies while drinking several pints of cheap beer. If you see a hooligan, do not attempt to subdue the creature yourself. Throw a quater ounce of weed and a copy of "Gears of War" at it to distract it, then contact your local government office to report the incident.

*Other reasons include: broken family life, no parental guidance, alcohol, abusive relationships, no ambition, stupidity, more alcohol, desensetivity to violence caused by exposure to reality, not having a meaningful purpose in life, and no sex**.

**"No sex" has been shown to have a direct correlation to overexposure to weed and video games.
