Wouldn't Tramadol be classified as a psychotropic just by virtue of it inhibiting your central nervous system? As someone who takes Tramadol for pain, it does have an odd effect wh…

I'm not sure if you're joking, but opiates are grown from opium poppy plants, so that would be a good place to start if you actually wanted an abundance to feed to animals. Tramado…

That would be a good analogy if we couldn't transfer money online. But, you know, we can. The whole point of Bitcoin that's been touted in pretty much every thread, hoisted up by L…

Yes, all six of the people who use the Windows Store.

That really does nothing to disprove my point that people who can't afford movies (either purchasing, or importing, or renting in iTunes) are also extremely unlikely to be able to …

If a $20 DVD isn't affordable, $20/mo internet isn't. (I'm also fairly skeptical that your average DVD movie is $20, as though that's the absolute lowest you'll ever pay.) Movies a…
