Different, not wrong. And if the TV show is discussed in the same way as Conan Doyle's stories in 128 years, I will concede your point.

Yes, you're ignored, and I read your comment anyway.

No, in saying "use drugs," I was not "implying cannabis." I said "use drugs" because I meant "use drugs." Rather than trying to interpret or 'read into' what I'm saying, it might help if you responded to my post, and not what you post in your mind on my behalf.

And I will take you up on your 'challenge:' below is a list of ten "highly intelligent" people who have used cocaine (note: at no point did I say "encourages the use of cocaine." I said "use drugs" without becoming addicted, and being able to function), so that you can provide me with 10,000 more** whose lives and families have been destroyed by it. (**And note here, we're talking about individuals whose lives were destroyed by the use of cocaine itself, and not by the pointless drug laws that imprison people for having a mental or emotional condition that provokes "self-medication" as a form of treatment. Nor are we talking about the illegal status of cocaine which, itself, gives rise to violent cartels that function in the shadow of its legal status.)

So, while certainly many of the following list of "highly intelligent" (non-cognitively deficient) and successful "celebrities" may no longer be using cocaine, all of the following have used cocaine and are/were not addicted and function(ed) just fine:

Sigmund Freud
Thomas Edison
Oprah Winfrey
Stephen King
Tim Allen
Hunter S. Thompson
Angelina Jolie
Robert Louis Stevenson
Steven Tyler
Robert Downey, Jr.

There are others (like William Burroughs, Eric Clapton, Grover Cleveland, David Crosby, Arthur Conan Doyle, Isadora Duncan, Ulysses S Grant, Abbie Hoffman, Elton John, King George V, Larry Kudlow, Sir Paul McCartney, & Barack Obama), but I thought I'd stop at 10.

And if you post the 10,000 names of those whose lives and families were destroyed by cocaine (and not by the pointless drug laws or its illegal status) by the end of the week, I'll take your point.

What. the. fuck.

I mean... what have they done to Sherlock Holmes? To the reserved intellectual? The detective who uses observation and deduction? For goodness' sakes, this trailer fits the story of Iron Man 2 better than of Conan Doyle's stories.

Seriously, what the fuck

I've always been a fan of Albert Einstein, personally. He would be awarded the power to make anything take forever to happen, happen in the blink of an eye, or any length in between. Bonus power: Grants the ability to succeed in one subject by failing at all others.

Let's bring back Arthur Conan Doyle as well. He would not actually have any super powers, but everything he did would seem impossible until he explained it, after which it would all seem obvious.

congrats, out of curiosity what is the exact root of your SN, I thought it was Heinlein, in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," but some cursory research has revealed that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was the first to use the name.

Hmmm... a fellow Arthur Conan Doyle fan I presume? Welcome to the Sift!
