Hashish was used quite heavily by the Shia Muslim sect called the Hassassins when they went on their assassination projects.
I swear I've heard this from Eddie Izzard...thing is he's a comedian, not a historian.
No this is actual historical fact and can be read in wikipedia. Hell it is why they got the name hassassins.
I would just add, it's not just a wikipedia fact <.<
It is documented in various history texts and the like. Although it was my understanding that Hashish was made from opiates and not Cannabis.
I am not exactly sure but it coukd be opiates. I know the last time i looked hashish was a cannaboid. But maybe i am wrong.
No, you were correct heh. I was just confusing it with opiates because of the prevalence of them in the middle east (Poppy fields etc)

I've had a fever so I've been a bit grouchy as well. And now I'm too tired to continue this, but I'll just say the UN is a gigantic joke.The definition I'm aware of with genocide simply means just killing a large amount of people, which could mean, but not necessarily, for ethnic reasons.
A bad day for all of us then heh.
And no worries.
Genocide is more specific than mass killing, but mass killings are the staple of genocide <.<
It can be for either religious, cultural, ethnic, racial or other reasons but it's usually ethnic/religious when it occurs.
Consult my booty thread. It shall make you feel better.
Thank you for the offer but I shall pass. I have more work to do still ._.

Why would you falsely assume I think genocide is the correct way to handle the situation by asking you for your own idea for solutions? That would be your mistake. Fair enough, I've been a little on edge today <_< Something is bugging me but I can't place quite what it is so I suspect that might be the cause of my irritableness. Technically, you can solve genocides with a massive genocide of your own, because I just don't see another way except for the people rising up. Revolts very rarely ever solve anything, most times it just ends in annihilation of the rebels. What worked in 1776 is unlikely to ever bear the same fruit in 2014. UN intervention in a genocide is what is needed to stop it, it's generally quite a simple matter of shooting the aggressors. Permit me the trigger happiness but when someone has just tried to butcher a village of women and children because they are Tutsis rather than Hutus, they forfeit their 'right' to living on the same planet. If they are happy to attack and kill unarmed civilians then perhaps they should test their mettle against people who can actually fight back. The UN is a neutral force that does just that, but it isn't proactive enough in situations like Rwanda. You solve the genocide by killing those who start it and defending those who are being persecuted, you prevent the next one by educating all of those involved as to why it should never happen again. That does NOT mean I condone, encourage or would make such an attempt until absolutely necessary. I'm not entirely happy with the highlighted part. Genocide is never necessary, that sort of thinking is what leads to genocide actually being carried out. Just to check we are using the same definition for a moment - http://www.preventgenocide.org/genocide/officialtext.htmWestern Nations have made things worse for countries with genocides by supplying arms to small factions. I agree, dumping arms into a conflict will never solve it. Every time we get involved things just get worse for the entire world. Not necessarily, but more often than not when the USA turns up to the party it goes to shit. Which is why the UN exists. So, simple question, what do you propose? There's no ulterior motive in that question, I just want to hear YOUR idea of solutions without you making some kind of accusation on my part. Kind of touched on this already up there^ Shoot the aggressors, defend the innocents. Target those responsible for the inciting of the violence and the promotion of it. Then educate the survivors on both sides as to why it should never happen again. I don't work for the UN, so I'm not exactly the most educated on how to resolve and prevent genocide but it strikes me as quite the simple matter of shooting the degenerate bastards who think that it is an acceptable thing to do. Genocide is rampant in many parts of Africa, I'm of course speaking of the worst areas.
It really isn't. Civil war is rampant, warlords and militias are rampant. Genocide is not, the most recent genocide in Africa was in Darfur in the early 2000s.

thinks Genocide is a reasonable way to fix it?
You'll notice I never made such an assertion. I'm waiting to hear how we could fix Africa's problems.
Genocide has been happening in Africa for at least 15,000 years. I'm not sure what you could do to stop it other than one ultimate genocide that reduces the population to near-nothingness.
Like I said, I'm done. Play mental gymnastics with someone else.
Mental gymnastics? Is that what it's called when I ask a simple question and then you make false accusations of me? If so, I don't know how else to continue. You'll notice even from your own quote I never said I condone or wish for genocide to happen, or have it be a way to handle one. Sounds more like the mental gymnastics are your own and you realize you have no actual argument.
Like a fucking toothpick in my eye. *sigh* Right Genocide has been happening in Africa for at least 15,000 years. I'm not sure what you could do to stop it other than one ultimate genocide that reduces the population to near-nothingness. I then specifically asked this So we should prevent genocide with genocide?
Am I missing the point or is there a gaping big hole in your logic there?
Which you responded to with this What other way is there? Ergo - You must think that Genocide is a way to solve Genocide. You then ask the point 'How do you fix africa's problems then?' (Paraphrasing) Which is the same as asking how long is a piece of string, there isn't a specific answer unless you give a specific country/problem. You can't simply start generalising one of the most diverse continents on the planet like that. So, ask a more specific question and please by all means clarify that you don't actually support genocide.

*sigh*
Alright, I'm done. I don't often just ditch a discussion but if you seriously think that Genocide is the answer to Genocide, I'm done.
You didn't offer any other suggestions on how to fix Africa.
What point is there in doing so if you are talking to someone who thinks Genocide is a reasonable way to fix it? And the 'problem' with Africa varies greatly from country to country. Do you think Kenya should be cleansed of life because of a genocide in Rwanda? What about Egypt? South Africa? Gambia? Morocco? Or even better, take a look at how the AU is handling the situation in Burkina Faso. Africa is starting to get it's shit together at last, but if some psychotic fuckbag decides to eat all of the Pygmies or to kill all of X ethnicity should the rest of the world stand idly by?

Interesting.
How do you people feel about hunting for population control?
Well I'm against culling as it's called unless livestock is diseased. Instead of culling I would rather have a few predators of the over populated animal introduced to have things under control.
Say that was done in Britain, and we reintroduced wolves to the forests to control deer populations. Suddenly that makes things a lot more dangerous for the general public, especially when next to nobody in bongistan has ever encountered a wolf in the wild. Plus we aren't all packing <.<
Yeah but it will teach those fucking fox hunters.
Seriously though I was referring to America, and even in Britain I'm sure wolves can be introduced into a few remote forests, just put signs everywhere, after all who apart from country people (who have guns, mostly) really venture out into those places? >.>
Well I live near a forest and there aren't many guns here <_<
That's why I want wolves

Well I live near a forest and there aren't many guns here <_< Maybe every other farmer has one but it's really not all that common. I hate animals being hunted, but when you compare a bullet to the head with being torn apart by wolves... I'd say shooting it is kinder than the other option.

I don't even understand why they call it "hunting". Sitting in a tree stand waiting for a particular animal to cross your path is not hunting, it's camping.
Which is why DICE added the XM25 
Bane of all Campers everywhere.
Airburst? Fuck yes, I use that all the time.
Hehe damn right <.<
I drink the tears of campers every day with that wonderful invention.
Or on Metro, you can just rack up the kills from the clusters of idiots regardless of which spawn you are given
I used to hate Operation Metro, but it's one of my favorite maps now. So much action!
Hehe yeah, Operation Meatgrinder is always good for a giggle Much better than Operation Sieve. I hate lockers so much, because it damn near always becomes a sprinting simulator when someone sneaks through the front line <.<

Hunting for fun and culling are the same thing. There's a limit on how many permits are allowed. You're not going out and killing the entire species. If the population is down or up the permit amount changes accordingly. I would disagree, sport hunting can and is used as a part of population control (culling) but the primary intent behind culling is to maintain a population rather than to shoot a few animals for fun. Or at least I hope it is .-. My stance on things remains much the same though, if you go out to kill animals for fun then you are a sick bastard. If you hunt them for food and enjoy it, I don't like it but at least it's not wasteful. If you hunt solely for food then I don't have a problem with it even if it's not something I would approve of/take part in myself. When it comes to culling I view that as a more detached process, it's about caretaking for the bigger picture of the habitat. When the culling is carried out as a part of other forms of hunting, the above still apply to my thoughts on it. Meh thread just reeks of sheltered ideology. People seem to forget the food chain exists.
It probably comes off that way, but equally from the other point of view it seems like people are defending the enjoyment of killing living things. Not everyone mind you, but some.

Hunting is good for the environment and ecology by preventing trophic cascades and keeping populations in equilibrium. If hunting was suddenly banned, you'd see massive upheavals in predator populations followed by a sharp decline. You'd see the death of many riparian habitats across the country.
I suppose that depends on if you replace sport/trophy hunting with proper population maintenance or if you just outright ban the hunting of animals. In Britain, as far as I understand it deer populations are managed by the forestry commission/landholders to prevent them from breeding unchecked since we wiped out all the wolves and the like a few centuries ago <_<
