Question by Deino: Does a significant amount of the population really smoke marijuana?
I am a server at a restaurant, and I would say that 90%, yeah, literally 9 out of every ten servers (maybe a higher percentage is more accurate) smoke pot, among other things. I hear their arguments for it every day. They tell me how it’s “safe” and should be legalized etc.
I might add that “safe” is a funny description. I guess it’s safe compared to crack but not flying a kite? Or is it really safe, maybe if it isn’t smoked. Maybe I really don’t know.

Honestly, I’m still not going for it. I’ve never tried it, and I don’t see any convincing argument for it’s legalization outside of the fact that these kids “like” it.

However, I want to know if this drug is only common among servers and poverty class people (mainly pre-30s adults) or if it is a secret (or not so secret) pleasure that 90% of ALL Americans enjoy.
I’m not especially interested in what teenagers do, since there isn’t much consequence for their actions. i’m more interested in the rebellion among working class adults who know that they are risking their careers with this stuff.
Also, i’d rather see somebody with a more legit statistic than “a measurable number.” I’m a little perplexed as to how an answer like that is supposed to be helpful at all. If it isn’t supposed to be helpful, then I’d like to be the first to acknowledge it’s worthlessness.

If by significant you mean a measurable amount then the answer must be yes.

Question by rockydempsey: What are some good clean pop/ hip-hop songs?
Hey

Well I normally listen to Alternative metal Rock like Skillet, Thousand Foot Crutch, Fireflight, Evanescence, and some Breaking Benjamin. or Rap like Lecrae, Trip Lee, or Tardashii but all of my friends hate Metal and that type of rap.

I have been collecting some more pop type stuff of late (mostly TobyMac) because I want to play music that I like with my Family and friends and most of TobyMac’s stuff is pretty good.

Basically I would like some recommendations of some good pop songs that are clean (no profanity, sex, or drugs)

Here is some of the stuff that I already have that I like:
TobyMac (I have Diverse City, Portable Sounds, and Tonight)
Adele (I have the album 21)
Owl City (I like Fireflies, Angels, and Alligator sky the best but there are some others that I like)
Down by Jay Sean
Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes
Micheal Jackson (I have the essential Michael Jackson Album and I really like Beat it, Thriller, Man in the mirror, and Will you be there, there are others that I like but those are my favorites)
More by Usher
All the Right moves by OneRepublic
Bad Day by Daniel Powter
Fight for you by Jason Derulo
The Bee Gees (I have some of their Disco songs)
Dynamite and Higher by Taio Cruz
Solo by Iyaz
White and Nerdy by Weird Al (yes I know it is a Parody song but it is awesome)

Thanks for looking
