Rolland quick lites Let me start this by saying i would rather use a brisket coal than these again. Now that thats been covered: Easyness to light: Very slow to light, unless you have a butane lighter, youre gonna be one frustated person with these. Odor: smells horrible while lighting and if you mistankenly inhale it, youre in for a serious headache. Taste: They put a wierd taste to the shisha, sometimes stronger at times but always present. Length: Id say they last the whole of about 15 minutes, maybe 20 if you're lucky I might also add that they break up veeeeeery easily and sloppily and that they ash the absolute worst of any brand ive tried. Maybe I just got a bad batch but i will never try them again and I strongly recommend everyone to run away as fast as they can if they ever see them on a hookah.

I an see how it'd be nice to study with it... but not with any unwashed tobacco. yeah, I try to stick to washed while studying, i dont think the buzz will help much... I think it helps me understand because it relaxes me and calms me down, thus enabling me to understand better

So my friends and I were talking about the effects of studying with hookah. Personally i strongly believe that it helps me concentrate and absorb more knowledge, but ive also heard that it has the opposite effect... What is yall's experience with it?

QUOTE (Sonthert @ Jan 16 2007, 06:56 PM) I love Simon Bolivar. I would place him, in my all time list of democratic statesmen, second behind Thomas Jefferson, but ahead of George Washington (3rd). Trivia point: Of the nine oldest countries in South America, Simon Bolivar had a hand in at least 6 becoming democracies, and one author credited him with 8 of the 9 (only Brazil was uninfluenced by Bolivar). Bolivar cuban cigars are also a pretty good smoke. They used to be alot better when they were fuerte, like Cohiba. Now they are mas mediano. jajaj yeah i know! You know your cigars i see... I brought back from venezuela a box of contraband cuban cohibas for my dad right in christmas... I guess its one of the perks of being friends with cuba, none of that panamelan bullshit they try to sell you as cohibas...

I once dreamt i was stuck in wonderlad, from alice in wonderland. Yup that was wierd. Oh and dyingtulive, do these dreams happen just before you wake up?

Well i guess thats your point of view. My home is where family is, and i would kill to protect my family, anyone who knows me will tell you that. Im not running away, or being a coward, im protecting my family. If i had to give my life for them id gladly do it, but to put them in danger or leave them in a dangerous situation is too much for me. My family is my home. And I know about simon bolivar, trust me; ive been studying him all my life...

QUOTE (Jones @ Jan 16 2007, 03:38 PM) Hmm, maybe the thin was just me then.. Possibly. Anywho, I personally don't use milk... mostly because i'm scared of the whole... curdled stuff. I've always just mixed in salt, helps lower the temperature, makes the water more dense, it doesn't...rot, etc. ive used milk loads of times and its great, bring out the flavor i think.. Im always carefull to clean it out right after i use it though... Best ever was coffe tobacco with baileys, that was the shit...

jajaj dude sign me up... I think youve just made yourself a nifty little business here...

about a month ago some drunk a--hole knocked over a pipe and the coal landed straight on my arm... Now i have a nice little burn mark from where it landed... I was pissed but it was nothing a beer and some hookah couldnt fix

QUOTE (Sonthert @ Jan 15 2007, 11:29 PM) QUOTE (chipo @ Jan 15 2007, 04:09 AM) Sonthert i understand where youre coming from and the reason why you might take this as somekind of rightwing bullshit, but let me assure you, it is not. I moved to the US from Venezuela just a couple of months ago and not because i wanted. I was forced to because of the political instability and the safety issues in the country. Since chavez assumed power in 98 crime rate has rocketed upwards as illiteracy rates have spiraled downwards. Just for you to see how he has affected the economy, in 98 the echange rate from dollars to bolivars was 500 bs to each dollar. Now it is more like 4500 bs to each dollar, and its not like theres a lack of money coming into the country, Venezuela Nationalized oil back in the 70 and new wells discovered puts venezuela as the country with the biggest oil reserves in the world. Also oil prices are at a record high, so theres more money going into the country than ever, but the country is not seeing any of it. Chavez's regime has been the most corrupt in venezuelan history, but sadly theres too much oil money that covers that up to the outside world. The wool is over everybody's eyes as you say. Also there's a difference between nationalizing oil and nationalizing energy and phones, by doing this he asserts his total dominance of the country. Everything you say is probably true. Why should the U.S. involve itself and risk American lives? To paraphrase the US founding fathers "You can't give people freedom, they have to earn it." On the other hand, The same retarded, short-bus mentality has drawn us into over two dozen wars in recent history. Nothing has changed...there are still dictators, still "threats" to our security, still injustice. If Venezuela wants to be free (and you) you have to go and fight for it, not go running off to some other country. More US founding father paraphrasing: "The tree of liberty must be pruned periodically, and fed with the blood of tyrants and patriots, this is its natural fertilizer." Simon Bolivar, a great statesman from your neck of the woods said something to the effect 'Democracy can only come when people who are willing to die for it give their lives." Or something to the effect. In short version: If you aren't willing to fight for your freedom, you don't deserve it. Why should any of us care about Venezuela if you guys aren't going to go out and do something about it? I am waiting for someone to revert to the great "Domino Effect" argument. Hey man, i fought, i went to every manifestation that i could, my family too. If check you can see that they have been the biggest peaceful reunion of people in the world. Nevertheless, when one's family is threatened things change. Someone tried to kidnap my mom last july, that was what made us finish making up our minds that the country was too unsafe to be in. Tell me, would you consider that running away? Im sorry but my family's safety is the most important thing for me. I think that if you would be put in the same position you would act accordingly. I still fight for my country from where i am. I might be in a priviledged position and i dont suffer what most of my countrymen do but i still fight for my country. And the first thing i try to do is instill the truth in people's minds, such as you. There is a great misconception of the situation in venezuela, brought about by chavez's propaganda campaign. Though I know my effect is lesser than that of the millions of dollars that he uses for propaganda, i still put in my grain of sand. When the international community really sees chavez for what he is, is when things will change. As long as he countinues to have support from other countries he will stay in power. That is what I aim to change. I do not support war and I do not want a US interception, nor do I support the war in iraq (though I do support the troops).
