    Slartibartfast replied to What might be an appropriate simile for Janis Joplin's singing voice?:
    21-year-old Joplin's voice was a very different instrument to the one she had at 26. Hoarse and thready by times, drugs did to her what they did to Billie but quicker.

    Macbeth thought little of life, given that by that stage he was stark mad. Try reading some of the Bard's comedies.

    It's ill-mannered, certainly. His lack of maturity is more evident when he throws tantrums at re-runs of SNL, a program that has mocked every single POTUS since Ford. Gerry and GWB in particular were highly amused by the roasts, but Donny is thin-skinned.

    At what stage in her career? Early it was pure, late it could be harsh and screeching, or sultry and mellow, depending on the song and how out of it she was. A white Billie Holliday, who also destroyed herself with substance abuse.

I read Genesis as parables, it's self-contradictory so you can't take it literally. A day is as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day (2 Peter 3:8). God didn't create the plants and animals either, he told the Earth to do it. "Let the land produce" (Gen 1:11), "Let the Earth bring forth" (Gen 1:24). Nowhere does it say that the planet rested when God did.Genesis 2 flatly contradicts Genesis 1 - the creation of Eve from Adam's rib doesn't gel with "male and female He created them", this is what happens when you congeal a book from multiple sources and don't proofread (Genesis was NOT written by Moses, it wasn't set in it's final form until the Babylonian exile - from Jahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomist, Priestly and local folklore sources, quite a bit of syncretism from the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh etc).  less

Cannabis is proven to be efficacious in the treatment of epilepsy, tourettes, Crohn's disease and is a useful appetite stimulant in those who suffer from eating disorders or are undergoing chemotherapy to treat cancer. It's also renowned as an analgesic, Queen Victoria chewed it to ease menstrual cramps.Yes, it's mildly addictive - but less so than nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, capsaicin and cacao, all of which are perfectly legal. Nicotine in particular has no positive therapeutic effect, it's twice as toxic as cyanide.It does NOT cause schizophrenia, that was thoroughly debunked years ago. It can exacerbate it if the underlying condition is already present.Marijuana was criminalized in the 1930s to demonize Mexicans and sell nylon.Edit: I'm not a smoker. I've tried it, it did nothing for me so I abstain. However, I do object to pseudoscience masquerading as fact.  less

I read Genesis as parables, it's self-contradictory so you can't take it literally. A day is as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day (2 Peter 3:8). God didn't create the plants and animals either, he told the Earth to do it. "Let the land produce" (Gen 1:11), "Let the Earth bring forth" (Gen 1:24). Nowhere does it say that the planet rested when God did.Genesis 2 flatly contradicts Genesis 1 - the creation of Eve from Adam's rib doesn't gel with "male and female He created them", this is what happens when you congeal a book from multiple sources and don't proofread (Genesis was NOT written by Moses, it wasn't set in it's final form until the Babylonian exile - from Jahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomist, Priestly and local folklore sources, quite a bit of syncretism from the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh etc).  less
