They All Suck

Hurry up and get the real matches going

Go Robin!

Vote Robin!

a morbidly obese gecko-man vs. a handicapped Kaidou

Maybe Moria used to be strong, but he really has become fat, weak and useless.

Wait who's Blackbeard's musician?

BB is gonna take out the On Air Pirates, and force Scratchmen Apoo to join and be his musician.

…why vote for someone with a fatass ultimate?

…don't vote for a fatass

…need I say more?

For each vote against Dragon, a den den mushi dies

But they already lost, so why not bost the number of votes? After 300 votes of diference, there's no danger on closing the numbers.

Rayleigh deserves a vote, rather than a decision made out of pity.

People! For each vote, that's a Dugong who survives the onslaught of the dark king and becomes his disciple!

Don't listen to this nonsensical propaganda.

Rayleigh is the obvious choice.

However, Akainu's also a homicidal psychopath who will willingly sacrifice his own men with even the slightest of reasons; not exactly the sort of person they'd want leading the entire Marine organization.

On the contrary I think the five elder stars will choose Akainu for the 'absolute justice' approach that they're gonna need at the dawn of the new age.

I think Sengoku recommended Aokiji, because he seems to be the most sympathetic and understanding of the three admirals. And after the war, Sengoku felt that a more peaceful fleet admiral would save more lives in the new age.

Aren't all the people who claimed that a bunch of weaklings?

Also most of the islands and towns have some huge problems with them. Compared to easy blue (mostly peaceful islands with few problems) it's pretty insane. Islands where they have racist auctions. Places where the whole Island is at war. Sky Islands where a god tries to kill anyone he pleases.

Thats pretty insane methinks

After defeating Crocodile, the GL became conquerable for the SH. They saved a kingdom from a tyrannical shichibukai ffs.

How can a combined animal who holds a master-student honor-bond with anyone who beats him is a childish cliche?

The dugongs were just comedy filler, that had no impact on anything in OP.

And voting them over Rayleigh for their comedic gimmicks is crazy thinking.

EHH????? Why Is rayleigh winning against The Mighty Dugongs?

@M-Pyre:

Because Rayleigh is Jesus, and he's punishing the Dugongs for their sins.

Because Rayleigh isn't a childish cliche.

Simple fact.

I hope the dugongs don't get too many pity votes.
Rayleigh is just pure awesome-ness, and should be recognized as such in the polls

Stretchy earlobe fetish on these forums….

Does anyone else see the giant octopus behind Mihawk and Jinbei on the cover, maybe it's a foreshadowing to fishman island.

When Whitebeard, who represents one of the Peace Maine term, falls, that wrecks the balance between good and evil. If this theory is correct, the World Government would be well aware of the situation, so what's their goal behind waging war with Whitebeard?

It's likely that the WG views all pirates as Morgana, though they would be aware of the select crews causing more catastrophe and massacre. They probably didn't foresee a good/evil balance in the New World disrupted by taking out one of the Yonkou, or WB/BB launching the New Age at the closing of the war. Most likely they were trying to reclaim part of the world by destroying a large portion of the strongest pirates, and that was their sole intention… But who knows what's behind the intentions of the Gourosei

It's already been made clear by Oda that the New Age has begun, and WB's absence has already resulted in at least one territory being taken over. A theory of mine is that while Shanks and WB were Peace Maine pirates, it's likely that Kaidou is Morgana (as he planned to destroy WB at the end of the war) and Big Mom is probably one as well. This makes sense, as the balance between the Yonkou would have been contained by having 2 Peace Maine and 2 Morgana ruling powers.

Now that WB's gone and his territories are up for grabs, BB the Morgana has cemented himself as a key player, and there is now a possible 1-2 Peace Maine-Morgana ratio (possibly 1-3 counting BB's arrival.) It seems like the WG and citizens of the world are about to enter a dark age of piracy. This is a perfect way for Luffy and crew to save the world, find one piece and end the manga on a plausible note.

Vote for D*CK sucking lips - Whitey Bay all the way

Unless Oda changes Perona's character somewhat, I highly doubt she has enough depth to join the SH crew. I believe that just because she reappeared with Zoro, is another reason that isn't strong enough to suggest her joining.

Jinbei seems far too experienced a character to join the crew, and will most likely protect fishman island after Whitebeards death.

Boa's case is the strongest, as there is still referencing from Nyon as to how powerful her love sickness is. It is hard to imagine how she could leave Amazon Lily, and her people behind just to stay with Luffy however.

That being said, all of my points could be irrelevant, as this is One Piece after all where randomness is abound. When a character like Robin suddenly joins the crew, I think any character has as much validity to be the next SH member.

Vote for the English stereotype

Vote for a real pirate ~ Vote Whitebeard

Vote for illegal diamond mining

Vote for Jozu

I just read on another forum something about the scar that BB gave shanks.

When Shanks met WB to inform him he was going after BB, the scar on his face was Shanks' reason.

Shanks' haki gave him the psychic ability to sense that BB was going to become one of the most powerful and evil pirates in the new era.

His good-hearted nature combined with his haki power enabled him to sense and desire to eradicate the threat.

The scar on Shanks face was how he interacted with his haki power.

when is the raw out?

wow wasn't expecting rayleigh to break into first place.

at least smoker and apoo are in, i'm happy.

Have fun!

Shit 180 that's massive, the stuff I get is probs round 60-100 µg usually.

My friends and I are gonna drop tomorrow to celebrate the end of our final year exams, they're splitting hits I think -one of friends who used to be addicted to weed can't handle his acid sometimes- and I havn't had a strong trip in a while. Very much looking forward to it

To get things rolling again I'll divulge on a pleasant experience of mine while on LSD. Firstly because it gives the unknowing people an insight into the effects, secondly because I wonder if it will intrigue any holier-than-thou people to just what a personal experience may involve and thirdly because it would be fun to get a trip discussion going

• I do not support or condone the use of substances as a means of enjoyment :happy:

I began munching on a tab -small piece of millimeter cardpaper with a drop of LSD- and had felt no or any noticeable effects for the first 4 hours. With acid it sometimes can take up to 6-8 to feel any effects from it, while other times a light buzz/giddyness will come on after about an hour. After about 5 hours I felt like it was probably a weak batch and I wouldn't hallucinate or feel anything more than just a light buzz for the duration of the experience. However at about 6 hours in and without any increase in effects I had 2 large cones -bong hits- in quick succession, up until this point I hadn't smoked any weed. About 10 seconds after the second cone I began hallucinating heavily, which continued quite constantly for around 4 hours. The best way to describe the visual effects would be thus; pick 4 close points in your immediete field of vision and imagine those points all swirling clockwise, melding and mashing alot of what you're seeing into various patterns. Then if you were to stare at an object a trail of it would begin to move out to one side, kinda looking like a faded mirror reflection or ghost of the image. I spent the rest of the trip watching Dragonball Z dvds in a dark comfy lounge, the bright and flashing colours coming from the screen radiated and bounced off the dark walls in waves of motion.

All through this I was completely comfortable mentally and was defintely aware of the effect the LSD was having on me. One of the main causes of "bad trips" is for people to assume that the effects become too intense, will never stop and they subsequently are going insane. For whatever reason I kept a calm mindset and enjoyed the trip thoroughly and felt completely fine the next day with no comedown. In my experience if you smoke weed while on acid the effects will dramatically increase or suddenly kick in as it happened to me.

So there's a little insight

…Don't do drugs kids

….................Crumpler

Interesting, I heard that it was really similar to acid except that it had a less hectic more relaxed feel to it. However I've never found L to be hectic in the slightest

^^^Wow I thought it was nearly impossible to get LSA these days, how do the effects differ from LSD?

Done:
Tobacco
Alcohol
Marijuana
MDMA
MDA
LSD
Shrooms
Codeine
Diazepam

Comparing the risks of having sex and talking to people to doing LSD, heroin, or cocaine is so weak an argument that this one sentence is enough to address it.

Once again it's decided that factual sense is overlooked in lieu of a derived personal opinion.

So you don't remember what you wrote? It's even worse then…

> blah blah blah i will take drugs because no one can be sure about the aftereffects

this and your op where you clearly said it is a double edge sword. You are aware that the reactions to taking drugs vary from person to person but still "do it"!

:wassat:…

Would you please stop acting so juvenile and imbecilic, I'm all for a debate but please.
Because as so far you cannot seem to understand what I've been saying I shall reiterate it for you lamely
note - you do realise that you need to step outside of yourself and take an objective view here if you want to discuss something with me on an at least sub-intelligent level.

Drugs facts 101
Why do people take drugs? - Because they produce positive effects
Why are drugs illegal? - They are harmful … I won't continue with bigger reasons
...What is a double edged sword? - Something with a positive and negative effect

Question - What does heroin do?
Positive - produces feelings of extreme euphoria
Negative - produces feelings of severe depression, addiction etc

So I can shoot up heroin "because I can't/no one be sure of the after effects?":wassat:

Therefore I'll just ignore all knowledge to do with that and OD tomorrow in my car

Lastly... "You're aware that that the reactions to taking drugs vary from person to person but still "do it"!"
:wassat:...........................

.......... You are questioning why I partake in the consumption of drugs with reasoning being that "reactions vary from person to person yet you still "do it"!"

OK... You either mean
1. that I should never touch drugs because I never know what could happen to me because everyone reacts differently
2. you somehow think that because the effects are so plausible that any thought of taking such chemicals is insane

You encourage users to take drugs only to experience the effects it has on someone while you also agree that no one is sure about how it will effect the mind…

You see the problem? Or the obvious retardness...

Wherein did I state that no one is sure about how it will affect the mind? Read my posts

^^^I find it annoying that so many people who havn't tried any drugs are assuming that anyone that admits to trying anything here is an addict, even after they explain that they only tried them once or now abstain… tsk tsk

...seriously go have a glass of wine or something :getlost:

It's understandable that one might think that, given how much it was in the news recently, but this is typical of mainstream media behavior, report on an inflammatory press release without bothering to read the actual study and then write a more accurate and much lower profile article months later.

Case in point:
http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk…l/article.html

Haa… Very interesting, I've never read any articles which honestly disprove the connection between pot and mental illness. I'll be on the lookout for more of this information hmmmm... This is especially interesting to me as I have been told by a psychiatrist of the definite link between psychosis and marijuana, and the unproven plausible root cause of mental illness as a derivitive of using the drug.

If research is continued I see no reason why marijuna shouldn't be legalized- tobacco rots us away, alcohol destroys brain cells and can vegetize a person in a few days while pot shrinks the hippocampus- short-term memory function

…Also, Sables, obviously you don't need to do drugs to be aware of the ill-effects. In fact, it could be argued that the more you do drugs -- particularly the addictive kinds -- that the less aware of the ill-effects you become. You don't need to be a crackhead to know crack is bad for you.

What I ment was that if a person has only seen/heard/been told about the effects of certain drugs -let alone alcohol- then such a negative or positive opinion doesn't hold much ground. Unless said person has experienced a close relationship to the drug via friend or family, they have little ground to make bold accusations. Especially with something as taboo as drugs which is continually regurgitated over and over through myths and urban legends. It's hard to find the truth behind illegal objects and drugs are no exception.

@ Festizio…
I agree that pot should be legalized, but there is the issue of THC awakening dormant psychosis amongst some people which is troublesome

Personally, I just find the use of drugs stupid as all hell. And frankly, I don't care what BS excuse anyone tries to give for using. No benefits besides a momentary high, a fuckton of drawbacks, and holy damn does it make you an idiot (at the very least, while you're under the influence). Having seen people who are high while I'm sober, I can't fathom voluntarily taking something that makes you look like an ass.*

Since you've put forward such a steadfast opinion, I'm curious as to a few things. You're so hell bent against any and all drugs because they a) 'make you look like an ass' b) 'have a fuckton of drawbacks' and c) 'make you an idiot.'
:blink:
How may I ask did you come to your almighty conclusion? Since you've never tried any drug per say, yet are aware of all the shortcomings of such materials based solely off observation. I have to question the validity of anything you say concerning the topic.

I'm just surprised there are so many member "drug friendly" users on AP. Like seriously, I would have expected maybe 1 or 2 members, but the amount of you guys who've dropped acid is astounding. Like come on, it's a One Piece forum where the majority of the members are 14-18 years old.

I agree entirely

Does taking like half of one or just one cause those flashbacks at random times that can be dangerous if you're doing something? Do they last your entire life?

While alot of information regarding flashbacks still comes under speculation, what I choose to believe is built off experience and heavy research.

Essentially it wouldn't matter if you had half a hit or 5, the predominant factor in the chances of flashbacks occuring is the emotional peaks experienced during the trip. If you had the most terrifying time of your life during the trip, then you have a higher probability of flashback(s) occuring. However it can also be said that the opposite can occur, wherein a flashback will send a person back into an enlightened-like state had they had a supremly uplifiting experience.

• Flashbacks last 3 minutes at max and people describe them as not life threatening i.e. you're not gonna stack while driving
• You can receive flashbacks up to a year after you drop at latest (at the absolute very latest, a few monthes at max is also disputed)
• Physically the drug leaves your system within 12 hours via urination
• There is no supportive evidence, documentation or facts that state that LSD "sticks" to the spinal column as many people believe

I've had a sip of Champaign but that's all . LSD sounds interesting as I've learned that it's not addictive but I've also learned that it stays in your body for a really long time and can strike any time. I'd like to try different kinds of alcohol though. Gonna wait 'till I'm 21.

It's very interesting from my point of view that you wish to abstain from alcohol till you're 21. I live in Australia where the drinking age is 18 so I've grown up around a completely different national identity to how an American views alcohol. The first time I got drunk was when I was 15 with my best friend on really bad whiskey, it was a fun but regretable time

As for my experiences with acid, flashbacks and whatnot - I've dropped LSD 4 or 5 times in my life and have never had a flashback or bad trip. Acid flashback's last up to a max of a few minutes - informed by psychiatrist - and bring back moments of intense emotion that the user experienced during their trip, these can be horrific or enlightening.

My sagely advice for enjoying LSD, and I do recommend you take it at some point in your life just for the experience -
Do take it…
in a safe/comfortable environment that you know well i.e. your/friends house etc.
with friends/family
with a sober friend who can keep you sane if things go haywire
Don't take it...
In public or a unknown place city etc.
and take more and more because you don't think it's working
alone

Maybe that cleared the air for some people :happy:
