it's split into eight tracks for easier navigation although technically it's one song

Though the song is essentially broken up into eight movements, the track itself is one 42-minute song and takes up the entire second CD of the album.
they perform it live as one song.

« on: December 12, 2009, 11:59:00 PM »A spin on that is when people slow down when a cop from a different city, or a sheriff, or a highway patrol on residential streets shows up and everyone slows down, none of them can pull you over besides the sheriff and I will bet you my laptop he wouldn't bother unless you were going 90+ in a 40 drunk on the sidewalk.
Wait, cops only have the power to pull over motorists in their own city where you live? lolwat.

Most people are speeding at that point so they have a valid reason for slowing down.

and not only does it not cause cancer, there is astounding evidence to suggest it fights cancer cells:

edit: there has been some recent studies that have found a supposed link between marijuana use and testicular cancer, although this has not been extensively researched and is not definite

i don't see how the fact he smokes pot contributes to anything in any way apart from the smell.
protip: marijuana doesn't automatically make anyone who smokes it a lazy bum with no future who will sit in basements and eat food, that's the dumbass stereotype the movie/tv industry and anti-drug propoganda has created. people can be just as productive, or more so, high than when sober. it's non-addictive, physically impossible to overdose on, doesn't kill brain cells, doesn't cause cancer, etc, it's a much better recreational substance to use than alcohol or anything else will ever be.
some people abuse it, yes, they use is excessively and don't do anything productive. don't blame the drug, that's silly, they would sit around and do nothing if there was pot in the picture or not. moderation is key, not just in drug use but in everything.

i know absolutely nothing about the current american healthcare or the proposes reform and really i couldn't care less. but, i do know that the australia healthcare saved my life, as when i was 13 i required a heart operation that there was no way my parents could afford, they would've had to sell the house and i would be homeless if it wasn't for it.

You can't in Australia, but that's mainly because our lowest currency is 5 cents.
