This is very OT, but weed and alcohol could make people survive, assumed

People should not have to reduce themselves to an un-thinking, alcohol or
drug addled state in order to 'have fun'. On Saturday, July 24, 2010 12:02:40 pm Ralf

loudness. Is it the same for everybody or just for people who have
