Indeed, not only is it a dick move but they could have a really bad reaction to it or be a lucky random drug tester at work the next week and lose their job. Maybe they really like it and get you to confess what it was and turn into an addict. This isn't like "haha you didn't see that bucket of water coming" or "you splattered that burning bag of shit everywhere".

Not only that, but if you don't know what you're doing you don't know what precautions to take. From what I can tell chances are what you have there is gamma-hydroxybutyrate, better known as GHB or liquid XTC. Which is quite harmless by itself, but can be pretty dangerous in combination with alcohol. That stuff can make you go out very fast, and you don't wake up for another 4 hours. Just imagine you give this to one of your friends, he drinks alcohol on it, goes home, falls asleep, starts vomiting in his sleep and chokes to death. Know what I'm saying?...

PS If it is GHB, and they made it the right way, keep it for yourself. If for some reason you can only sleep for a few hours and you still want to be fit when you wake up, then take it. You'll sleep like a log for 4 hours, after which you will wake up full of energy. Just don't mix it with anything else. And only take it if you know your dealer is trustworthy. They make that stuff with paint stripper and drain cleaner afteral. You don't want GHB made with the wrong amounts of this and that. Unless you wanna burn away your oesophagus... lol

What specifically says we can't?

And anyone who thinks Obama is a Christian is fooling themselves. I wouldn't call the man an atheist as I do think he believes a higher power exists, but the guy isn't saying the Lord's prayer before he goes to sleep.

Not trying to start an argument, just trying to get info...

How do you refer to people of that skin tone then? I assume African American?

I'm just wondering as I know some Moorish and Aboriginal people who get really pissed at being called that. They always put "Other" on forms that ask for race and so on.

I don't think you have any idea what devotion to a religion is all about. No President or any other political figure or movement is ever gonna sway the thinking of a devout follower of any religion. That's what having faith is all about.

Governments have already gone so far as to make certain religions illegal in their land throughout history, and those religions still endured despite that.

To be that devoted to something is something to be proud of, not ashamed of.

Random thought of the day...

So anyone who lives in NE Kansas or W Missouri knows we're practically one in the same. Crossing over the states is just like walking across the street, all of my jobs have always had a handful of employee's that live in Missouri. Lately I'm kind of thinking of houses off and on, it's still years away for me but I wonder if I should consider Missouri since I could get something cheaper there. Maybe older and bigger, but that's cool with me. But then there's the double taxes thing. Some people complain about it and others tell me it "balances out" in some weird way I can't remember at all. Considering how much our two states overlap it'd be nice if they could just abolish that rule or something.

Never gonna happen but it just makes me curious, are there other parts in the US that are like this? Other states that are in love with each other like Kansas and Missouri are?

Hell every-time there is a concert in Bonner Springs, KS the tour dates say Kansas City, MO. I have an aunt that used to live on the Missouri side but now lives on the Kansas side and works in Missouri. I will have to ask her about that. I have almost though about moving to the city if I decide for life to take me down that road.

New York and Jersey, although we hate Jersey. Also, it's cheaper over there.

Memphis and Arkansas to some degree, but not nearly as connected as KC or NYC/NJ.
