We have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less; we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, yet less time; we have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgement; more experts, yet more problems; we have more gadgets but less satisfaction; more medicine, yet less wellness; we take more vitamins but see fewer results. We drink too much; smoke too much; spend too recklessly; laugh too little; drive too fast; get too angry quickly; stay up too late; get up too tired; read too seldom; watch TV too much and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; we fly in faster planes to arrive there quicker, to do less and return sooner; we sign more contracts only to realize fewer profits; we talk too much; love too seldom and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less; we make faster planes, but longer lines; we learned to rush, but not to wait; we have more weapons, but less peace; higher incomes, but lower morals; more parties, but less fun; more food, but less appeasement; more acquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort, but less success. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; drive smaller cars that have bigger problems; build larger factories that produce less. We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, but short character; steep in profits, but shallow relationships. These are times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; higher postage, but slower mail; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorces; these are times of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, cartridge living, thow-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer, to prevent, quiet or kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stock room. Indeed, these are the times!

Това е една статия написана от Пол Йоу, интерпретирана от мен с надеждата, че ще ви заинтригува.

Има едно известно твърдение идващо отвъд океана а именно: „ Мощността продава коли, но въртящия момент печели състезания!” Има хора, които смятат това за нелепост. Нека да видим защо.
Независимо дали ни харесва или не, всичко около нас се подчинява на основните физични закони. Добре е, че не е нужно да сме Айнщайновци за да прилагаме тези физични закони в състезанията и тунинга. В литературата, Въртящият Момент (ВМ) се описва като „въртелива или усукваща сила”. Забележете, че тази дефиниция не включва движение. Относно ДВГ, това е просто мярка за усукващата сила получена на коляновия вал. Въртящият момент (ВМ) в тази част на света се измерва в Нютон метри (Нм). Ако забелязвате тук има само две величини – сила (Нютони) и разстояние (метри). От първи поглед може би е странно да се опише „въртелива или усукваща сила” с помощта на разстояние, но един по-задълбочен поглед ще осветли пътя. Ако хванем един вал в едно менгеме и в края му поставим перпендикулярно един прът(рамо) с дължина 1метър и в края на това рамо закачим тежест от 1кг, то ние ще сме приложили 10Нм на този вал. (1кг =9.8 Нютона) Забележете, че валът не се върти въпреки че му е приложен ВМ. Ако пък после заменим еднометровото рамо с 10-метрово такова, то ние ще сме приложили вече 100Нм ВМ на вала но със същата тежест от 1 кг. Както се вижда, големината на усукващата сила варира в зависимост от дължината на рамото и точно това налага да се специфицира мярка за разстояние за точното определяне на силата получена в центъра на вала.

Recently I saw another big SHIT on someone's STATUS:

If more people smoked weed, and stopped drinking alcohol, there would be less wars, fights and death by drunk drivers!!!

I couldn't helped myself so I decided to respond:

One time abuse is something we all do on occasional bassis. ;-)

What I meant however was the long term effect of abuse on daily basis. THIS IS what causes all the fights, and driving while drunk. It may end with drinking problems.

As for smoking -> the same here as well: once the abuse is an everyday "ritual" for some time it ends with changes in behaviour. Of course I am not talking about a cigar per day. ... See More

Now both abuse patterns are caused purely by pshichological issues (pls, don't think of pathological problems). Usually exceeded amounts of stress which haven't been taken care of.

Now, you say YES to WEED and NO to Alchohol, only because you know you can't get hooked to WEED. But on the contrary YES you can, however NOT due to biochemichal responses of your body, but due to AGAIN pshicholgical way we try to deal with any kind of stress.

I have seen many people to have "developed" that way their "escape" of reality (and possibly problems). The damage here is on a personal level. It stops you of further exploring one's own potentials.

And again this only when there is abuse. Any abuse is not good.

That's the reason I am for Legalization. This is the reason many people are against it.
