Suuuure man...

 

Yeah, you got me. I was lying. I know many people who are exactly as you described. I was just too embarrassed to own it. That's why I voluntarily posted a lie which then put me in your radar, rather than just not posting anything at all which means I'd never have to answer any questions about it...you know, like a sane person. 

*rolls eyes*

/sarcasm 

 

Again, I have never known anyone that was as you described.

Yes and no, but the attitude is because weed is suppose to be a mental addiction it is not real addiction...

I wasn't pointing a finger at you at all. That was not my intention. It was just a general comment that was being discussed in the thread and my thoughts on it.   :lecture:

As I said...people with addictive personalities can become mentally addicted...but I don't believe it to be physically addictive like tobacco is.  People with addictive personalities can get addicted to anything...robitussin, nasal spray, any type of food or just good in general, aspirin, cough drops...anything.

That's a bit of an over generalization isn't Jason? Addiction normally alters a person's brain chemistry whereby withdrawal is generated without it like heroin in some people for instance. 

 

Your nasal spray example & cough drop example is more than a bit far fetched IMO. Most people don't rob banks or other businesses to get their allergy relief fix or cough drop high. Come on now. 

 

Yes, I know former Raiders QB Jamarcus Russel got addicted to Purple drank for instance, but it's not like pharmacies are on high alert for a Robtussin epidemic sweeping the nation. Meth perhaps, but cough syrup on a massive scale. I don't think so. 

 

So, if a person has an addictive personality they are destined to become a drug addict? A doesn't necessarily lead to B. It implies a cause & effect relationship that doesn't always ring true like saying a daredevil stunt junkie is destined to be a criminal getaway driver later in life. Pure hogwash. It might happen, but is it inevitable or a foregone conclusion? Absolutely not.

You may possibly have the worst reading comprehension on this forum.  You put more words in peoples mouths  than they put in their own.  

 

Where in the hell did I say anything was inevitable or a foregone conclusion?

 

Where did I say that people with addictive personalities are destined to become drug addicts? 

 

Where did I say that people addicted to cough syrup or nasal spray are knocking over banks?

 

Looking specifically at the sections of my post that you put in bold...I used the word "can".  People with addictive personalities "can" become addicted to anything including weed. You know what the word "can" means right? The word does have more than one meaning so I guess it could be a bit tricky.

Who died & made you king of word semantics BTW? "I never said that." That's always your get out of jail catch phrase isn't Jason? LOL! That you're always misquoted & misunderstood. 

 

Clearly, you don't grasp the indirect inferences you constantly imply with your posts on a frequent basis. Give me a break Jason. You act like you're the supreme authority on all narcotics topics & then when somebody disagrees with your perspective you claim you were taken out of context & everybody else is a fool except you of course. LOL! Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      Wow!    You're on fire today.   Post after post that are classically you.  Only you have these views.   That’s why these posts are so easy to remember for years.   I’m struggling to find anything to agree with.   Not that you’d care what my opinion is.  I just couldn’t help but finally respond today.   Sorry.

      Great interview!!   Both the Colts 1st round and 2nd round picks fell right in to their laps!!   Preparation + luck are equal parts of the equation!!

      Chris Ballard on Pat McAfee Show about the draft

      By Superman · Posted

      I think you're working from some assumptions that I don't agree with. First, it seems like you believe "the system" produces 32 relatively equal draft boards, and it's pretty obvious that's not the case. Second, it seems like you believe that if a team picks a player in the 4th round, that means they must have had a 4th round grade on him, otherwise they would have drafted him earlier.   It's possible that a team feels more strongly about a player than other teams. They could have Player X as their 30th player, and Player Y as their 35th player. The team is on the clock at #40, both players are still on the board, the team takes Player X. A few picks go by, Player Y is still on the board, they start trying to move up from wherever they sit in the next round, but a trade isn't coming together. They wind up staying put, and are able to draft Player Y -- their 35th ranked prospect -- at #75 or whatever. They had a high 2nd round grade on him, and got him in the middle of the third. Maybe they'd felt like they got lucky because things went their way. But drafting him in the third round doesn't mean they only viewed him as a third round prospect; what would make that scenario possible is the fact that every team works from their own board, and there are major variances from team to team.

      I doubt that. The reason is because not a single WR was selected the rest of the 2nd round, as borne out by how that 2nd round went. So any other GM still chose not to draft a single WR in round 2after the AD pick (either felt they didn't need one or had already gotten one), so your statement is not supported by how things played out. Whether it was Ballard at 52 or Ballard at 56 that he traded down to, he would have still found AD as value and pulled the trigger, is my contention. All GM boards are not created equal, so you can't broad brush there.
