| The Ghost of RubangB said: So you want to cut off people from the rest of society who don't agree with you? What the fuck? Personally, I'm tired of people like you who have met a couple assholes who use drugs and suddenly decide all drug users are assholes. What about people who drink too much coffee and it really makes them an asshole? They're all over the place, especially at the restaurants I've worked at. People would be mad at me for not drinking coffee, saying I work too slow and I really need a pick-me-up to stay on my toes. One guy who was training me would have a coffee and a couple sodas, and then he'd feel like he's working faster, but he'd get all jittery and forget stuff and drop shit. Caffiene is a highly addictive mind-altering DRUG that can and does make people assholes. Should we put everybody who drinks coffee in your little "sub-colony"? I'm sick and tired of people always asking me for a smoke or for a light everywhere I go, and all these assholes who smoke on the steps right outside the buildings at shool, right in front of the signs that say it's illegal to smoke within 20 feet of the buildings. I think all smokers should be rolled up in a giant rug and thrown into the Arctic. Fuck yeah. |
A couple, Rubang? How about being thrown into an entire town that has been torn apart by rampant drug use, to the point that 10 year olds are hooked on drugs in school? What about 6th graders running around naked because they're tripping on E? From what I understand, you're not here in the US, but if you do visit, come to East Philadelphia, or Camden, NJ or Irvington, NJ. Then you can truly get an understanding of what happens when drugs become the mainstay of a community. I've seen things in this life that I pray that no one else has to witness. So, don't go telling me that I've "met a couple assholes who use drugs", when you have NO effin clue of where I've been or what I've seen.
Akuma - People can become addicted to many things easily via their genetics or brain patterns. Some things tend to have stronger effects. Take nicotine for example - how many smokers are out there that just can't kick the habit because they get terrible headaches from nicotine withdrawal? The same is the affect with stronger drugs, like cocaine. The chemicals within are much harder than resist than say, an addiction to Pop-Tarts. Would it then be the better idea to legalize drugs because some people DON'T get addicted, and just say "f**k the people who DO get addicted"? Is that going to keep your 10 year old son safe from getting addicted to drugs because his brain is wired for addiction?
The sad end of the story is that people get into drugs in the first place to try and fit in, to be cool, or to experiment with something that has absolutely no positive contribution to the world. There is no natural reason nor need to do drugs. You don't need them for survival, they offer no bodily nourishment, and despite what some think, do not enhance your usefulness in society or the world at all. Despite what some may think, the world is not there to entertain them. I'm sorry if people are bored in their little suburban communities and have nothing better to do. Im sure you can find something else to do than get into drugs - read a book, write a book, learn a new language, make a new trick up on your bike or skateboard. There's a world of possibilites instead of becoming another unproductive person in an overcrowded world.
