If that's the case, then perhaps people should stop engaging him. There's little worse than coming in to see a good thread get blown up only to find that Molly has been going punch for lunch with him again.

but I'm bored

It's getting difficult to think of original things to call Ben.

I love how he now backpeddled to "BE WARY" vs how he stated it in the quote in my sig

What backpeddling? I also didn't say that was my reaction either. I stated that the natural response to, say, getting mugged by a black person you don't know is to be wary of other black people in the future. That's not prejudice, that's common sense.

Again, he still won't admit that he errored and lied about my posting condolences.

And I love how he now backpeddled to "BE WARY" vs how he stated it in the quote in my sig. Typical Ben.

Maybe even he realizes how stupid and bigoted that came across.

the only thing you should be treated to is a swift kick in the face

[Ben Kenobi]

Ben is extremely angry at himself.

Actually an extremely insightful comment. The argument, "should Ben treat others the way he treats himself" is not a great option.

[Ben Kenobi]

you read other peoples posts and somehow come up with interpretations that nobody else does.

Yeah, given that the moderator already came in and suggested 'not trolling me over the death of my father.'

Again, I'm surprised that you would take this tack, Nestor. I suspect that should it be your father you'd take the precise opposite view. I chalk it up to your blind hatred overwhelming common sense.

Ben, a couple of pot smokers wronged you and you're mad at pot smokers. If a couple of black people wronged you, you'd be mad at black people. So, if a couple of white people wronged you, would you be angry at white people? What if they're white and deaf? Would you be mad at yourself?

They wronged my father more than they wronged me. I am more upset when someone goes out of their way to hurt my family and people that I care for. Especially when it's someone that I've previously invested my trust in.

I'm more disappointed than angry when potheads screw me over. It's not just one incident either. If black people had, 4 or 5 times gone out of their way to screw me and my family, I would be wary of black folks in general. If a pothead went out of their way to help me rather than screw me over, it would have an impact too.

Once, you can chalk it up to the person, but four or five times? Potheads are users. Of people and drugs.

that's probably not the same reference but whatever

Marital marijuana?

A new study by researchers at the University of Buffalo finds a significantly lower incidence of domestic violence among married couples who smoke pot. "Couples in which both spouses used marijuana frequently reported the least frequent IPV [intimate partner violence] perpetration," the study concludes.

These findings were robust even after controlling for things like demographic variables, behavioral problems, and alcohol use. The authors studied data from 634 couples over nine years of marriage, starting in 1996. Couples were administered regular questionnaires on a variety of issues, including recent drug and alcohol use and instances of physical aggression toward their spouses.

Previous research on the relationship between marijuana use and domestic violence has largely been based on cross-sectional data (that is, data from one point in time), and those findings have been mixed: some studies found links between marijuana use and/or abuse and domestic violence, while others did not. The Buffalo study is one of the few to use data collected over the course of decades to examine the question, putting it on solid methodological ground compared to previous work.

The authors caution that while these findings are predictive--meaning couples who smoke are less likely to commit domestic violence--they don't necessarily draw a causal line between the two behaviors. Among the connections they hypothesize, "marijuana may increase positive affect, which in turn could reduce the likelihood of conflict and aggression." Translation: stoned people are happy, and happy people don't fight.

"I was gonna hit my wife but then I got high
I was gonna tell her she gonna die but then I got high.
And now the kitchen's still a mess, and I know why.
Why man?

Yeah.. 'Cause I got high..

Because I got high...

Because I got high...

I actually think Ben is extremely angry at himself.
