What do you mean, accredited investor? Accredited with what? Stop hiding behind the confidential information thing, you won't even give out basic public domain information that myself and others have asked for that isn't confidential. Why are you here Jim? What do you want?

And you should learn that the UK isn't made up of states, it's made up of countries :rolleyes: at least read the UK wikipedia entry.

If you wish to learn more about Scotland, you need to sample some of the following products:
Irn-Bru
Black pudding
Tattie Scone
A deep-fried mars bar
A haggis supper
Tennants
Lorne sausage

Dear Kizmet:

We are looking for investors both inside and outside of the United Kingdom for this enterprise as well as others. The vast majority of capital for this enterprise will come from outside the country.

We are here to hopefully have the United Kingdom become the beacon of reason within the sea of controversy that surrounds the topic of Medical Marijuana. Done right, this enterprise can and will work for the benefit of all within the United Kingdom. What we earn in the United Kingdom from this enterprise will remain in the United Kingdom. We do not transfer profits outside of the juridictions where it is earned.

Very best,

Jim

You're not on Urban75 to find capital investors. Unless accredited means by the editor... so why here?

And can I take it to mean that by "beacon" you mean "the first"?

Of course there are a couple of big 'ifs' about your proposal, but fair play for trying... without going into specifics, I'm just wondering what you hope to achieve here.
 
Can we quit with the banned returnee stuff? If it's the case it'll become obvious in time. In the meantime, Jim's unflappable nature is making me laugh!

Dear Kizmet:

I wanted to achieve exactly what has taken place over the couple days. A lively, sometimes humour discussion about a controversial topic addressed at the grassroots level.

This is how we learn about a culture. While we both speak some form of English (would venture to say that yours is better than ours),we nonetheless are very different.

Very best,

Jim
 
I'm sorry Jim, but you don't learn about a culture by posting on an internet forum. Have you ever been to the UK?

Jim,

What have you learned from u75 about UK culture? Are there any other websites you are discussing this on? I'm not sure we're representative...

Have you heard of a "mumsnet"?

Jon

(grr, you've got me posting in this ridiculous "formal" style...)

Dear Equationgirl:

Visted Englas once about 20 eyars ago. My business has been ostensibly with the Americas since then.

A discussion at a forum does not give a complete picture but it does give some direction for thought.

Very best,

Jim

Now that made me laugh out loud (LOL)...We are the Borg, resistance is futile.:)

I know your game, Jim.

If your plan works we'll be a nation of stoners and resistance would be too much effort. Getting to the fridge is hard enough...

Dear Jim

The UK is very different now than 20 years ago, Very very different.

Why don't you answer all the questions you have been asked, instead of just picking the easy ones?

Dear Equationgirl:

I am a very slow two fingered typist, so I pick the easy responses. Give me a new list and I will do my best to respond to your questions.

Very best,

Yeah, that lot. May be an interesting place for you to post if you want the voice of "middle britain".

But, you ignored my first question - what have you learned about UK culture from your discussions on Urban75? I really would like to know this.

Ta,

Dear Jon-of-Arc:

What I have discovered is that the topic of Medical Marijuana is as controversial a topic in the United Kingdom (at least on urban 75) as it is in the United States. The other thing I have discovered is that your slang is very different from ours and much more colorful. All kidding aside, it has been a pleasure exchanging quips with everyone over the past couple days. I think we are going to have a lot of fun in Britain when we arrive there in due course.

Very best,

Jim

Dear Jon-of-Arc:

I think posting at http://www.mumsnet.com/ would solicite a very strong opposing vote to our enterprise. Could be surprised, but likely not.

Very best,

Jim
 
The topic is not as controversial as your proposed method of delivery.

Oh, and you didn't deny that the UK would be the first..

Dear Jim

It's late. All of us have repeatedly asked questions about your proposition that have been ignored, so I think it would be a waste of time to type up a list when the questions are already posted.

I suggest you go back though the thread, and see which questions you have missed.

Answers without corporate hippy phrases would be appreciated.

Equationgirl.

I'm not sure the topic of medical ganja is that controversial on this site. what gave you that idea? I think people are concerned that your suggestions for introducing it go a bit further than "thinking outside the box". You've yet to really convince anyone that this is even a real investment opportunity, let alone a viable one.

As an interesting aside, the origin of the word slang was the phrase "thieves language", heard back as early as the mid 1700's. David Maurer writes interestingly on the subject in his seminal study of the original "long" confidence tricksters of early 20th century America, The Big Con. Worth a read.

Well, don't you think that would be an issue? Because that website is currently considered very "influential", politically speaking. In short, Cameron will probably listen to them more than he would listen to us. Or to reason.
