BRYinTX User ID: 73438356 United Kingdom 06/05/2017 05:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's not the drugs per say, it's the lowbrows in our society with no discipline or impulse control. No one forces people to abuse these drugs. It's a choice. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74970606 of course they have a choice. but addiction is a disease with no one-pill cure. many addicts can be clean for months or longer then relapse. and in many of these recent cases, it IS the drugs that's killing them because many heroin users don't know they're taking hot shots. their regular dose is killing them because the heroin has been laced with fentanyl. it's like someone who quit smoking then slipped and had a cigarette one day that was soaked in cyanide. this is what is killing many heroin users today...hot drugs. |

Riiiight. We aren't cut out to be socialists.We are the people who couldn't be constrained by Europe. We are the malcontents, idealists, speculators, dreamers, inventors, debtors and criminals who would not be chained. We don't play well with others, we are brash, outlandish and cunning. let us do what we do best; let us be Americans. |

Archaic Smile User ID: 74558399 United States 06/05/2017 06:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just look around you at how people are acting and behaving. You dont really have detailed discussions with people anymore. Most people are just waiting to get home to remove themselves... And at another time, when they raised a question about fortifications, he said that a city is not unfortified whose crowning glory is men and not bricks and stones. -Plutarch, Moralia |

Imagine a dealer trying to kill people so he can LOSE BUSINESS? DON"T THINK SO! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8432591 I generally don't discuss addictions and narcotics because it's a pretty con diluted fine line. However I HAVE to touch on this. You couldn't be anymore correct, as in saying the GOV'T is behind the epidemics. Let me paint you a picture... Where, oh where on this planet of ours has the most poppy/hectare ratio? Hint; We invaded there in 2001/2002. Grey area; -Who owns those poppy fields? -Who supplies security and readily transports the refined product internationally? White area; -More funding to State correctional facilities -More funding to Law enforcement (Fed/State) -More return revenue from incarceration per stricter sentencing guidelines Black area; - To make the non-addicted populous nod and agree to tax hikes to cover the white areas, extremely dangerous narcotics "appear" on the street and cause hell. - Misappropriated funding to help boost "militarizing" Law Enforcement agencies. - Pockets on a local level and Fed level being lined with money received from increased informants and illicit/nefarious practices of distribution/convictions. Hell, damn near everything anyone ever has been told about most anything in the last 30 years, has been fabricated. Nothing just "happens" anymore. Everything has an agenda. People are dying from the GOV'T's agenda. I lost a good friend just the other day. Kicker is, folks, not a damn thing anyone can do to stop it.

You'll either act like you didn't say it and you'll pronounce some new doom date or you'll come back as someone else (and probably declare a new doom date.)

You believe in incomprehensible, contradictory and impossible things because we have commanded you to; now then, commit unjust acts because we likewise order you to do so." Nothing could be more convincing. Certainly any one who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. Quoting: Voltaire::hidetomato: |
