To trust or not to trust?

i meant i was seeing a pattern. the weed, & strangers & stuff getting stolen. even a drug like weed will prompt someone to steal & in this recession i mean i wouldn't trust anyone period. let alone perfect strangers i just met. hell my brother has a drug problem & he steals cuz he can't hold down a job. at the end of the day i trust my instincts & when i foolishly go against my instincts i almost alwayz end up getting burned.

i've even been invited to a person's house after closing time to smoke & even that situation was weird. i mean sometime that stuff can be an adventure & in other cases i've been very trusting of people i have just met. so i mean it just depends.

Well in both of those stories, good things happened as well involving the ganja. My meeting Tim and my receiving of the amplifier.
As for the last half of the part I've quoted, we're gonna have to agree to disagree. If stealing is in your nature, there isn't a drug in the world that'll make you more or less likely to do it. A dog barks because that's what he's made to do. An asshole spits on you for the same reason.

Weed can be very good currency in certain situations. I've used it to get rides from Montreal to Toronto, to find couches to sleep on during my travels/tours, to trade for food during my European adventure last year... If you find it weird, it's probably more you than it is the weed, since there's a huge amount of the population that consumes the plant. The vast majority of the ppl that I've met in my life are smokers of the pot and they're not all thieves or drug addicts.

Turns out that the study of faces is called "Physiognomy" and is termed a 'pseudo-science'. It's had bouts of popularity and some of the studies that emerged from it have helped push some aspects of modern science forward.
I found this: http://www.face-and-emotion.com/dataface/visage/about_visage.jsp
Visage is a project that attempts to represent the features that are used to describe the face and the characteristics that are associated with such facial features (trustworthiness, predisposition to criminality, etc).
