Hey , Can anyone upload Iperov's Pocket Guitar Sources or Similare Application , Links are dead in the main Topic .
Thank you
Yes my friend. I can help you, but first, let me tell you my tale...
It was a small village that I grew up in, probably much like your own. People laughed and cried, but we all loved the place we came from and that kept us together. Then in my early 20s I was visited by a knight of the realm. He had been given a quest, an almost impossible quest, but it was his duty to see the quest done, or die trying. Over the following months we became friends, that knight and I, and shared many a tale of fortunes, both good and bad. He became a brother to me, and I a brother to him. He trained me in the ways of combat, and I trained him in the ways of life, both of us learning the most vital lessons that the other had to offer.
Then came the day. My Brother had to leave. His quest awaited him, and he longed for the journey in a powerful way.
He gave me a map to show his route, in order that I may one day follow in his footsteps and see the monumentous journey through which he had struggled. The journey would be easy for me as he would have slain the many beasts along the way, and I would merely be an observer to the aftermath. That was the plan, but as we both know, in life, sometimes things do not go to plan.
Only two days after my Brother left our small village did he return. He had been poisoned by dwarves along the way, and he was now close to death. His final breath was a laboured breath, but it carried the words "it is your quest now, my Brother".
I knelt in the muddy street, my Brother's head in my lap, whilst I cried out into the raining sky "WHY GOD? WHY?", but God did not answer. He did not need to. I already knew what must be done.
And so, after an almost impossible effort, and losing many, many dear friends and loved ones along the way, I managed to struggle my way across the mountainous terrain, fighting off many vicious animals, not to mention the murderous mutated demons and creatures of The Pit. I faced The Mighty Baal himself and we fought... oh how we fought. At times I felt like I'd been fighting this monstrous demon forever, blow after blow ripping my life from me an ounce at a time, until I finally landed the fatal blow that freed us all from the uncertainty that had been raised by the quest.
This was truly an historic adventure that would be talked about, in a hushed voice, but a hushed voice filled with awe, for many generations to come.
I did it all for you my friend. This was an epic struggle, but I finally found your answer...

I have a lot of friends and family who smoke pot, and the majority of them are pretty vocal about wanting it legalized. Let me make perfectly clear right off the bat that I'm not coming at this as an "anti-pot" guy because I personally don't give a **** if they legalize it, and it doesn't bother me that people smoke. I've done my share of illegal substances.
But why are pot advocates some of the most annoying f*****g people on the planet.
I'm not talking about the average Joe who just wishes it were legal. Hell, those people are inching into the majority and comprise a significant portion of our own audience. I'm talking about the people who push it so hard that they're just short of going door to door, like Mormons. And they get so aggressive and misguided in their arguments that I'm pretty sure that they are their own worst enemy at this point.
#5.Taxing it Will Save the Economy!
This one seems to be the dominant argument ever since the economy went to ****. "Legalize it and tax it! With all the money we'll save from enforcement and all the tax money we'll take in, it'll balance the budget!" And no, I'm not exaggerating the claims -- here's one of the more articulate articles that literally says marijuana would "save the economy."
Cited some pretty big numbers. "Full legalization would bring in $6.2bn annually if it were taxed at rates similar to those on alcohol and tobacco." Man, that's a lot! But when you put that up beside the total taxes collected in 2010 ($2.1 trillion) and the current national debt ($14.4 trillion), the dent it makes is comparable to trying to change the orbit of the Sun by shooting it with your BB gun.
There's no doubt that legalization would create some jobs and bring in some tax revenue. But it's a drop in the bucket, and when you start presenting that drop with titles like (as in the wake of the Prop 19 legalization movement in California last year) "Save California: Legalize Marijuana" and "To Save California, Legalize Pot", it makes it sound like you have no idea what you are talking about. In fact, it makes it sound like a bunch of young stoners making **** up, and that gives opponents an excuse to dismiss everything else you're saying.
It's the same when the advocates say that we'd be able to "fix the budget" by eliminating the cost of marijuana-related law enforcement, based on this insane idea that once the drug is legal, we'd no longer need any of that. As if the country would suddenly turn into a free-for-all, grow-your-own, weedathon where there are no regulations or restrictions on its production, and yet everyone would just volunteer to report and pay the $50 per ounce tax out of a sense of civic duty. Why? Because people prefer to do things the legal way? That's true... because they fear going to jail. Which means you still have to pay for cops to investigate and arrest people who use unauthorized pot.
This is what opponents were trying to explain during the California legalization debate, that you're going to need a lot of new regulations to figure out just exactly what activity you're legalizing, and what happens to the people who violate the new laws. Do you get the FDA involved in regulating the THC content? So then you need somebody enforcing those regulations, right? And to go after the stronger, black market stuff? Then we'd still have DUI arrests to deal with, and figuring out what weed does to your health insurance premiums, etc.
Again, let me make clear that whether it's legalized or not, my life doesn't change. I couldn't give less of a damn. It's the dishonesty of the arguments themselves, and the way you're absolutely bludgeoned with these on the internet, that I find infuriating. And none piss me off more than...
#4. We Need it for Cancer Patients! And to Make Paper!
This is a tactic used by almost every advocate I've ever met. See, they don't want to legalize pot because they want to smoke it and get high. No, they're only concerned on behalf of cancer patients. And they'll have martyrs they can pull out as examples, like that guy who was fired for using medical marijuana on the job. That's what legalization is really about, right, TokeOfTheTown.com?
This is usually lumped in with the general defense that "Hemp can be used for lots of things! You can make paper out of it. Clothing. Rope." Hell, marijuana was only made illegal because the traditional paper industry was afraid superior hemp would take over, right, website that has "420" in the URL?
I hear both arguments from friends constantly, and not a damn one of them has cancer. None of them has ever had a need for, nor owned a rope. And before they started reading "facts" off of a pro-weed website, not one of them thought twice about the paper industry. It's a bull****, back-door argument. And, again, it makes everything they say seem invalid -- the same as when states that do legalize for medicinal use immediately see half of the patients use it, not for cancer, but mysterious "chronic pain" or "stress relief." In other words, they lie so they can get medicinal weed, not caring that it makes the entire campaign seem like a lie.
People want to get high, and I just wish they'd come out and say it. Of all the arguments I've ever heard, I've never had a solitary person step up and just say with unmasked honesty, "I want to get stoned without the fear of being arrested." Which is ironic to me because it's the only argument I've ever heard that makes sense. It's the only one that's even remotely logical.
Putting up this front that weed is a magical cure for all things economic not only requires you to bend the truth beyond recognition, but makes it seem like you're admitting that simply wanting to get high is not a valid reason to make it legal. In fact, the cancer patients who do in fact benefit from it wind up becoming the victims of your bull****. When a perfectly healthy guy with dreadlocks and cannabis leaf t-shirts stands up next to the cancer patient and pretends the interests of the cancer patient are all he has in mind, it makes it look like both of them are full of ****.
#3.It's Good for You!
So the picture I'm starting to get is that pot advocates saw the government's old, ridiculous anti-weed propaganda that grossly exaggerated the harm of the drug and decided that the best way to combat that was to simply tell equally silly lies in the opposite direction. So in my lifetime I've seen the argument go from "pot isn't as bad as other illegal drugs" to "it doesn't hurt you" to literally saying weed is "good for you." You know, like it's Vitamin C or calcium.
For instance, when various studies showed that THC might slow the growth of some tumors (while making others grow faster), all of the studies pointed out that they got their results by injecting the chemical and not getting lab rats to smoke joints (a pretty major difference). Yet, pot advocates immediately took those results and translated them into endless headlines asserting that smoking weed "cures cancer." Never mind that all of these studies on the positive side effects of TCH and other chemicals in cannabis go way out of their way to tell you that this does not mean that smoking weed will cure your cancer.
That's because on the whole, breathing smoke of any kind, is not good for you. And with pot, you're inhaling smoke into your lungs and holding it there for a long time, and that's going to damage the tissue. In fact, just three joints a day do as much damage to the lungs as twenty cigarettes. We can be fair and cite this study saying there is no connection between cancer and smoking marijuana. Though we could also cite the studies that have found the opposite to be true.
But even if we take cancer off the table, there are a whole host of negative effects we can list. Right after smoking, the average heart rate increases between 20% to 100%, and that effect can last up to three hours -- your risk of heart attack shoots up fivefold within the first hour of using. If you have anxiety disorders, there's even more bad news. It's being found more and more that modern pot can actually cause panic attacks, and is a high risk for triggering an already existing condition. In the still-growing brains of younger smokers, it can stunt basic emotional development and promote paranoia. And just on the whole, users are far more likely to come down with illnesses and miss work than non-users. One of the biggest debates right now is whether younger users are at higher risk for the emergence of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia.com cites 30 studies that show a connection.
But again, I'm not trying to fall back to the government's "one joint will drive you insane" scaremongering. Pot is not as bad as heroin. That isn't my point. But don't go the other way and start acting like the **** is broccoli.
It's at this point that someone always brings up...
#2. Alcohol and Tobacco are Worse, and They're Legal!
Yep, booze and cigarettes are pretty bad for you. Deadly, even, if they're abused. Hell, I had a doctor tell me straight up that if I didn't quit drinking entirely, I'd be dead within the next five years. I've never heard a doctor tell someone that about their weed smoking. Drunk driving and smoking-related lung cancer have literally killed millions.
In fact, here's a not-at-all-retarded rebuttal from a legalization advocate in response to a "Foundation for a Drug-Free World" pamphlet that claims pot is more dangerous than alcohol. In case you didn't read that, it's exactly what you'd expect from a site that runs its articles over a background of marijuana leaf gifs, versus a highly generalized and exaggerated claim from an organization that is obviously anti-pot. The argument being, "Pot is worse than booze!" "Nuh-uh, alcohol is worse!"
But here's the thing about that entire debate: It doesn't matter.
Throwing out death tolls from tobacco smoke, drunk driving and liver disease makes perfect sense as an argument for making those things illegal. It makes zero sense when trying to convince somebody to make pot legal. Don't you understand that "It will kill fewer people than cigarettes!" could apply to anything? You could pass a law that lets 12 year olds carry concealed guns to school and it'd kill fewer people than drunk driving.
If the argument is that pot is the safer choice, then by that rationale, it's also safer than deep-throating a cactus or blowing a rattlesnake. Is someone obligating you to choose between the two? There's not a third option of just not doing either of them? That has baffled me for years, and I still don't understand it. But I've heard it. A lot. As if the legalization of one unhealthy activity obligates us to legalize every single thing that's less lethal than that.
You have to remember that the people who have the power to change these laws are old, rich, stuffy white guys who for the most part don't smoke weed. When they hear rebuttals like this, they're picturing a six year old kid stomping his foot and screaming at his mother, "Why can't I play that game? Jimmy's mom lets him play GTA, and that's way worse!" The end result is still that you're arguing for the right to make things worse than they were before.
#1.It's not Addictive!
Of course, the thing that scares society about any drug, and the thing that makes alcohol and tobacco so deadly, is addiction. This is crucial to any argument for legalization, because you can't talk about "freedom" to use some product if that same product in fact takes away your ability to freely choose to stop using it. You don't hear people at AA meetings sit around and reflect on how awesome it is that they have the freedom to drink.
Here, I have to admit my own personal experience bias -- my brother used to love giving me that "it's not addictive" line as he was lighting up his tenth one-hitter, with four hours of sunlight left in the day. He couldn't go more than a couple of hours without lighting up, but he's probably just an isolated case, right?
It's been suggested that because most users aren't habitual, the majority of people will never develop a severe dependency on pot. Much in the same way that not everyone who drinks will become an alcoholic. In fact, according to that link, about 15% of drinkers will develop a major dependency, as opposed to around 9% of marijuana users.
That's just the statistics for "severe" addictions. They claim that between 10% and 30% of marijuana smokers will at least fall into a minor addiction. Note that neither of those statistics are 0%. You know, the threshold for "not addictive."
This is where my brother loves to bring up our uncle... I'll call him Thundercock Soulpuncher. Uncle Thundercock smoked pot his entire adolescent life during the 1960s and 70s, and when he decided to file away his partying days and join the adult world, he had no problem at all stepping away from weed. But studies from 1983 to present show that the average THC level (the chemical in pot that gives the buzz) back then was about 4%. The same group found that over the last few decades, the seized pot they studied had risen to over 10%, with some plants as high as 30%. It's predicted that in the next five to ten years, that average will reach around 15% before it hits a plateau.
What's that mean? It means you get higher faster, using less of the drug. It also means that younger, inexperienced smokers have a higher chance of addiction than ol' Thundercock because they're smoking stickier ****.
Now, once again, it's widely believed that pot is much easier to quit than smoking, booze, heroin, and just about every other drug out there. But the belief that "it's not addictive" is bull****. Want an easy way to see if you're addicted? Give it up for a year. I have a feeling that would be tough for a lot of you, considering how many can't go one week without working it into a conversation. It's tough to give up something that you've built your entire personality around.
But just keep in mind: if you want to see a day when the cops won't hassle you for smoking it, you're going to need to be a lot smarter about how you argue the issue, that's all I'm saying.
The legalizing or Mary Jane alone wouldn't save the economy, but the decriminalization of all recreational drugs, tax and regulation and an end to the failed war on drugs would. There is more money spent on the enforcement of drug laws, and housing of non violent offenders for drug violations than almost any other domestic problem. If you take a page out of Amsterdam's Playbook, after the decriminalization of recreational drugs there crime rates plummeted and tax revenue increased almost 1000% due to the fact that the tax revenue had a new source and the existing tax revenue wasn't being plundered for enforcement of failed drug laws. In Amsterdam addicts can get their methadone from water fountain's in clinics for free so when they can't afford their heroin they aren't going out robbing and stealing because they are dopesick they can just walk into any 24hr clinic and get medication anonymously to ease their withdrawals. Over there there is no stigma attached to addicts that they are the scum of the earth, which is good because addiction is a disease and just because someone is an addict doesn't make them a bad person. That would be like saying because so and so has cancer they are a bad person and its all their fault they have cancer.

And hipkat pot is not addicitive in tthe same way as nicotine, booze or heroin it is habit forming but when you quit there are no physical effects. I've smoked off and on for the last 15 years and never once had a problem going without it for anywhere from a few days to 2 or 3 years. I have also been addicted to painkillers after a surgery and after about 20 hours without am opiate in your system you feel like you have the worst flu in the world, chills, sweats, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, blurry vision, aches and pains etc. Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly, it causes seizures and can even result in coma. Nicotine withdrawal gives you migraines, diarrhea, sweats and shakes. Marijuana withdrawal you may not be as hungry all the time and you may not sleep as much, but there are no health risks or discomfort from it. Anyone who tells you marijuana is physically addicitive is a) a fearmonger and b) a flatout liar, there is absolutely 0 medical evidence to back their claims up because it is simply a scaretactic created by the anti drug nuts to keep the people from wanting it legalized by turning it into some kind of monster akin to heorin or cocaine.

In case you didn't read that, it's exactly what you'd expect from a site that runs its articles over a background of marijuana leaf gifs, versus a highly generalized and exaggerated claim from an organization that is obviously anti-pot. The argument being, "Pot is worse than booze!" "Nuh-uh, alcohol is worse!"
But here's the thing about that entire debate: It doesn't matter.
Throwing out death tolls from tobacco smoke, drunk driving and liver disease makes perfect sense as an argument for making those things illegal. It makes zero sense when trying to convince somebody to make pot legal. Don't you understand that "It will kill fewer people than cigarettes!" could apply to anything? You could pass a law that lets 12 year olds carry concealed guns to school and it'd kill fewer people than drunk driving.
If the argument is that pot is the safer choice, then by that rationale, it's also safer than deep-throating a cactus or blowing a rattlesnake. Is someone obligating you to choose between the two? There's not a third option of just not doing either of them? That has baffled me for years, and I still don't understand it. But I've heard it. A lot. As if the legalization of one unhealthy activity obligates us to legalize every single thing that's less lethal than that.
You have to remember that the people who have the power to change these laws are old, rich, stuffy white guys who for the most part don't smoke weed. When they hear rebuttals like this, they're picturing a six year old kid stomping his foot and screaming at his mother, "Why can't I play that game? Jimmy's mom lets him play GTA, and that's way worse!" The end result is still that you're arguing for the right to make things worse than they were before.
#1.It's not Addictive!
Of course, the thing that scares society about any drug, and the thing that makes alcohol and tobacco so deadly, is addiction. This is crucial to any argument for legalization, because you can't talk about "freedom" to use some product if that same product in fact takes away your ability to freely choose to stop using it. You don't hear people at AA meetings sit around and reflect on how awesome it is that they have the freedom to drink.
Here, I have to admit my own personal experience bias -- my brother used to love giving me that "it's not addictive" line as he was lighting up his tenth one-hitter, with four hours of sunlight left in the day. He couldn't go more than a couple of hours without lighting up, but he's probably just an isolated case, right?
It's been suggested that because most users aren't habitual, the majority of people will never develop a severe dependency on pot. Much in the same way that not everyone who drinks will become an alcoholic. In fact, according to that link, about 15% of drinkers will develop a major dependency, as opposed to around 9% of marijuana users.
That's just the statistics for "severe" addictions. They claim that between 10% and 30% of marijuana smokers will at least fall into a minor addiction. Note that neither of those statistics are 0%. You know, the threshold for "not addictive."
This is where my brother loves to bring up our uncle... I'll call him Thundercock Soulpuncher. Uncle Thundercock smoked pot his entire adolescent life during the 1960s and 70s, and when he decided to file away his partying days and join the adult world, he had no problem at all stepping away from weed. But studies from 1983 to present show that the average THC level (the chemical in pot that gives the buzz) back then was about 4%. The same group found that over the last few decades, the seized pot they studied had risen to over 10%, with some plants as high as 30%. It's predicted that in the next five to ten years, that average will reach around 15% before it hits a plateau.
What's that mean? It means you get higher faster, using less of the drug. It also means that younger, inexperienced smokers have a higher chance of addiction than ol' Thundercock because they're smoking stickier ****.
Now, once again, it's widely believed that pot is much easier to quit than smoking, booze, heroin, and just about every other drug out there. But the belief that "it's not addictive" is bull****. Want an easy way to see if you're addicted? Give it up for a year. I have a feeling that would be tough for a lot of you, considering how many can't go one week without working it into a conversation. It's tough to give up something that you've built your entire personality around.
But just keep in mind: if you want to see a day when the cops won't hassle you for smoking it, you're going to need to be a lot smarter about how you argue the issue, that's all I'm saying.

Weed cures and helps in many ways there's a lot worse substances that are legal than weed, although its much legal here (Cali) because its legal medically but then all those strong medications gets tranferrrd down to us , anyways weed is acctually better for your body than cigarettes and alchool, the only known issue with weed is it makes your maturity stop for the period your smoking but then it goes back to normal that only applies tho if smoked before age 22, its perfectly fine.to drive on, no wrecks on dui of bud, but lots from alchool, its not bad for your lungs it actually cures them believe it or not if you smoke as much weed if not more than tabacoo you smoke, your lungs will stay normal, the doctor couldn't believe I smoked half a pack day the miracles.of weed, and another thing, weed is not ****en addictive! I think its some thing like 5% gets addicted, only because they become dependent on it after thier treatment is over, I smoked everyday at least a quad a week of good dank cali bud for like 2 years then stopped for a whole year with no urges or anything, I know what it means to be addicted I can't handle one day with out a cigarette hardest thing ever I've done it like twice I wanted to kill myself, smoke weed not tabacoo

And hipkat pot is not addicitive in tthe same way as nicotine, booze or heroin it is habit forming but when you quit there are no physical effects. I've smoked off and on for the last 15 years and never once had a problem going without it for anywhere from a few days to 2 or 3 years. I have also been addicted to painkillers after a surgery and after about 20 hours without am opiate in your system you feel like you have the worst flu in the world, chills, sweats, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, blurry vision, aches and pains etc. Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly, it causes seizures and can even result in coma. Nicotine withdrawal gives you migraines, diarrhea, sweats and shakes. Marijuana withdrawal you may not be as hungry all the time and you may not sleep as much, but there are no health risks or discomfort from it. Anyone who tells you marijuana is physically addicitive is a) a fearmonger and b) a flatout liar, there is absolutely 0 medical evidence to back their claims up because it is simply a scaretactic created by the anti drug nuts to keep the people from wanting it legalized by turning it into some kind of monster akin to heorin or cocaine.

I do on occasion, haven't since Xmas but I used to smoke all day every day. Never had a problem when I needed or wanted to quit. Now the oxycodone after my surgeries was another story, when I'd run out of that I was about ready to kill someone for another one. When I came off of them it was the worst 2 weeks of my life and the longest month before my head got back to normal.

Thread Closed....420 is over
I play a game called Rage of Bahamut and its cool and free once you finish the tutorial enter my code to get a rare card and 100k in rupies my code is rah01853 and once you do that search for me under users my name is njtechguy and I will send you another rare card and help you along the way.
Yeah RoB!
A fantastic card game, that doesn’t get old. I thought it would be an app that comes and goes and you find that after a week or two you are bored, this is not the case of RoB. There is enhancing and evolving cards, battling and arranging decks in a defensive and offensive manner to optimize battle. Join an order and be a part of something more, help the order grow and fight battle with your fellow for a more team like experience. There is pressure to join a an Order, you can wander the battle fields as a lone warrior if that is what you desire.
Some tips for the newbs,
1. Concentrate on building your stamina initially while slowly building you attack and you defense you can worry about later. More stamina means more questing which means more, rupies (the games cash), more items, more treasures, more cards and more experience. These things can be used to enhance defense and attacking for your battles.
2. Do start to think about building a/some decent defense cards from the get go. You can still have a decent defense with not much defense stats initially if you enhance some of the higher power cards that you get from friendship card packs, which you can get for free from your friendship points. This is so that you don’t get attacked easily. Winning a battle when someone else attacks you gains you rupies, and can happen while you sleep! If people see that you have a little defense stats they will be more interested in attacking you, especially early on in the game when most people are learning and have not got great cards. If you have a decent defense card/s then when they attack you will be prepared and win! And you don’t need rare cards initially to get decent defense!
3. Take advantage of all the bonuses available, tweet (if you don’t tweet normally just make an account and don’t invite anyone to see you posting), open the game every day for daily bonuses.
4. Get fellows straight away, every fellow you get will raise your stats by 5 pts. There is no commitment or need to interact with your fellow. You request them as fellows, they accept, you both get stat pts, continue playing RoB
5. Don’t rush out and use your Cure Water on you first few quests or Holy Powder after your first battles. Wait for events or wars etc. If you find yourself bored because your stamina and attack are depleted then go Support other players to gain friendship points to get card packs. Everything helps initially.
If you need any more info or want to trade look me up, superhumanxx, just search superhuman, as the game doesn’t seem to always produce results if you put in the whole name??
If you are just starting, after the tutorial enter the referral code: hnh88687. You’ll get a Rare god card and a big wad of rupies (cash), 100,000 rupie, which is a great help at the beginning.
P.S. If anyone declares you get anything more from there referral code pulling your finger!
Good luck and enjoy RoB

Noob help plz!
How do you join an order once you get an invite? On "My Page" order invites show up but then when I click one it just takes me to the order's page and asks me to request an invite.
I feel like I'm just missing something really stupid here so any help would be MUCH appreciated- I really want to join an order!

So I just started to play this and I kinda like it.
I have one problem tho.
I have 2 cards. One is very strong and one is not. When I go to battle it always makes me use the weaker card and I can't figure out how to switch it to the stronger one so I keep losing. And what happens when I lose? Do I lose money or items or what?

So after playing for a while and somewhat learning I realized I did too many mistakes. Is there a way to deactivate the account and start a new one on my phone?
