| So I recently heard about GodTube. There was an video from the site posted on Digg. Anyway I looked around the site a bit. I came across a video about Marijuana. This guy talks about how marijuana lowers your sperm count and can cause miscarriages. GodTube.com - Marijuana |

| "GodTube is the premier, Christian video-driven social network where users find inspiration, interact, chat, share and upload Christian videos, ..." Mhnmmm, maybe they're not completely objective in their Analysis, perhaps they have a slight bias? ![]()

| $10 says there's absolutely no scientific research behind this and it's almost 100% bullshit. AFAIK, the temporary effects of smoking weed aren't actually a lower sperm count, but result in a smaller chance of contraception (that doesn't mean you should use this method as a contraceptive!). If that is true, though, I'm also almost positive that it's quickly reversible after the user quits. As far as miscarriages go? Don't make me laugh, I think we'd know about it if marijuana caused miscarriages and it would be exploited by the ONDCP. I'm guessing GodTube isn't the most reliable source of information. I wouldn't be surprised if they also had videos that claimed praying in high numbers is proven to have a measurable effect, and that getting abortions causes depression and suicide, and that studies show that all gay men are pedophiles and shouldn't be married or be allowed to adopt children. Sort of like the religious version of wikipedia (which is hilarious in itself, I wish I still had the URL). In short, don't worry about it.

My personal favorite is the article on Social effects of the Theory of Evolution. It says Nazism is a result of the theory of evolution, when any objective overview of the facts would show that Hitler was motivated by "divine word," not scientific fact. | |

| Make no mistake I wasn't wondering if it was true or not or even if the website had any truths I was merely pointing this out to show the opposition. |

| Considering the overabundance of people on this planet, I think we'd be better off if they were right. Then marijuana could be made legal as a way to curb overpopulation! I'm a dreamer, man . . . Until then, I guess it's the old vasectomy for me.

| I love how the video length is 4:20. And I'd put $10 that the video editor, and speaker got together and cut the video to 4.20 while smoking a blunt.
