Re: new shop disgrace

|
Re: new shop disgrace

Re: new shop disgrace
yh but tbh the 90% of the time every bong pipe will be used for drug related use and doubt people buy flavoured rips for big cigerettes :)

WHSmiths is dire......there isn't even a good bookshop in Blackburn. If you want anything technical you either have to go online for it, or traipse over to Manchester. The new Charity shop that is opening in a couple of weeks is The East Lancs Hospice Shop....and that is definitely a good cause......you know the money is going to be supporting local people who need their special brand of care.......I will be donating and buying. |

Re: new shop disgrace
a Waterstones would be great Marg

Re: new shop disgrace
A Waterstones would be fantastic. I really do miss a good bookshop. I used to haunt Seed and Gabbutts, and Wardleworths.......there is nothing quite like the feel and smell of a brand new book......buying on the internet is OK if you know exactly what you want......but sometimes you really need to 'browse'.
I used to buy books and then have to hide them because my other half would want to know when I had bought it, how much it cost, etc. I used to have to hide the wrapping that the book came in....and I would tell him 'oh, I have had this book ages' as my nose grew another few inches:)....and Textbooks were my weakness.....they still are to a degree. He could never understand that a good book is worth its weight in gold. |
Re: new shop disgrace
i have noticed that Waterstones is making it's way up here finally, they only used to be down south at one time

But getting back to the original subject what does this shop actually sell |
Re: new shop disgrace
Well don't think i'd be frequenting it, but i'd rather have a Bong shop than n empty shop, we got enough of them, think most people would like a Book shop,or good clothes shops, even the likes of currys etc, point is we had em way back, but vanished cos were not viable, so unless some company is prepared to take a "Big Risk" Dream on.:rolleyes:

Re: new shop disgrace
Personally i would like to see a Gents Taylor, used to be quite a few, but it aint gonna happen.

and inregards to what shops..off the top of my head.. what about a 'lush' - would save me from going to preston to buy stuff for mrs gg or bringing it back from glasgow.. or how about a decent proper mens/female clothes shop (top man/next/levi store - take your pick) bookshops been covered. a mothercare? a decent shoe shop/ trainer shop (nike/footlocker).. a decent proper suit shop? a camping/outdoor shop of sorts. another electrical shop? - other than the one across from the post office |

Without expert advice it can be tricky, deciding on a suitable tie, that works with a shirt...when due in court, or when attending a wedding, etc.

Whether there is a shop there or not, people are gonna smoke weed.
You can improvise a bong from a bottle, or a pipe from a can. People need to stop Bitching!!! |

From your logic, you'd be happy to see shops selling child pornography? |

Acceptance of such illegal activities is the first step on the slippery slope. People are not 'bitching' as you put it(I could have come up with a more acceptable and less offensive word for it, but there, you can't have everything can you?)they are discussing a subject on a public forum. Garinda, you are right! |
Re: new shop disgrace
Intolerance of 'illegal' activity can go too far.
Practices that are illegal aren't neccessarily immoral, it depends on the morals you have. eg - ..drug abuse is illegal but not immoral so long as no-one but the user is harmed ..child abuse is both illegal and immoral The restriction of personal freedoms can become ridiculous if we allow it to. Imagine a society where it is illegal to eat meat ...would you campaign to close butchers shops? During the prohibition era in America, this whole 'restriction of personal freedom' went way too far, and ended disastrously. The long lasting result was a criminal empire financed by illegal supply of alcohol. The same thing is happening now with the supply of illegal drugs. It is debatable which does more personal harm -cannabis or alcohol. We should allow a person to choose their own 'poison', if that is what they want to do. I think that rebellious youth (we have all been that at sometime), would not be attracted to it as easily if it was legal, and there would not be 'criminals' encouraging them to use it. PS - I had experience of addiction to a prescription drug. I have inhaled cannabis and was not addicted. I know which was the least harmful to me. |

I think you should have posted drug abuse isn't immoral...in your opinion. Others, children of smack heads, the families of those killed by users, those who've been robbed by those who fund their habit by crime, rather than working for a living, may well disagree with you. |
Re: new shop disgrace

There are many people who drive cars whilst their reactions are impaired by prescription drugs and cause harm to others - that also is 'irresponsible use'. Many alcoholics cause mayhem to their families and society - that also is 'irresponsible use'. Even the possession of a stereo system can cause harm by 'irresponsible use':rolleyes: So by your reckoning, all actions which have the potential to harm others should be illegal. I say that the fact that they are illegal renders them attractive to the the very kind of people who lack any sense of responsibility I suggest that the actual illegal 'crime' sould be 'irresponsible use' and not the use itself |
Re: new shop disgrace
So you think there is nothing immoral about using heroin, as long as it's done 'responsibly'?
We'll have to disagree on this point. |
Re: new shop disgrace
"We should allow a person to choose their own 'poison', if that is what they want to do."
Society's rules have changed - laudenum(an opiate) was fashionable amongst Victorian society idle housewives. Morphine is prescribed to relieve pain legally. Cannibis has that same effect on many chronic pain sufferers. The pharmacutical companies are working at isolating the natural chemical which does that, in order that they can patent it and profit from it The plant is not patentable - so that is the real reason it stays illegal. |
Re: new shop disgrace
You see, it is a discussion.
Margaret a cannabinoid medication is now available on prescription for some conditions. It was being trialled whilst I was still part of the medical profession, some 8years ago. Prior to that I knew one eminent surgeon and a few nurses who suffered from MS who used cannabis, (in its various forms) to alleviate their symptoms with very good effect. I don't think many Pharma companies will get rich quick on this drug as it is easier(I am told) to get hold of the stuff to smoke. |

It would not be logical for them to pay for the natural leaf and risk being criminalised for it. |
Re: new shop disgrace
Margaret, Many MS sufferers are young......they have to pay for their prescriptions, unless of course they buy the yearly passport.......and some doctors will not prescribe the Cannabis based drug(though I am not exactly sure why).....my sister in law has been suffering from MS for more than 30 years and has used cannabis resin to alleviate her symptoms, but has risked becoming criminalised because she initially could not get onto the trial.......but now can get the tablet medication, but says the resin is more effective.
As far as sufferers of Chronic conditions, well, as far as I know, and unless there has been a change in the rules about free prescriptions, there are more chronic conditions that do not get free prescriptions, than those who do. |
Re: new shop disgrace
You people need to get a grip, some people are only happy when they have something to moan about.
What is the big problem with smoking weed? How many of you drink alcohol?
I do not agree with the above statement, but these are the facts!!!!
The shop is there now...And guess what?? Tough!!!! |
Re: new shop disgrace
You seem to make the mistake that a lot of new members to this site make.
You talk to us like we are numpties, you make value judgements about who we are and what we do...ok you may not do this openly, but you do do it by implication. You have made two posts on here......and both of them have been aggressive in their nature. I neither drink or take drugs. I have lived a long time.....so I must be doing something right. I do not need to belittle other members of the forum...they might have differing opnions to mine but they are entitled to these......however, there is an appropriate way of conveying this. You do not appear to grasp this. It appears that you do not understand the concept of discussion...for this is what this is...it is not a moan. Cannabis is a mind altering substance and as such can do harm, causes degrees of paranaoia, depending on the amount and length of usage. Lastly, it is illegal. |
Re: new shop disgrace
Aye...tough..because it won't be there for much longer.
|
Re: new shop disgrace
Spill the beans Tealeaf...do you know something about this, that we don'?

of course it cant be a drug shop so anyone know what is opening there ? |
Re: new shop disgrace
I have always wondered why people need to take illegal substances to have a good time, beer and fags were enough for me, got rid of the fags 32 years ago and have only been a moderate drinker for the last 25 years, can't remember the last time I was blotto, yes I can 50th birthday, I now have the odd bottle of wine at weekends and an odd scotch now and then, two years since I had a pint:s_cry::D
