Quick thing:   I am not going to be around for a bit. Non-Board Personal issues, and I need some time. I will get the emojis up for next weekend, and run the Cas of the Cas Games (Sign Up For Them! Play the Change). If you need anything big, PM me. Otherwise @XXR You Ok Annie and @ZeeSoh and @Eric Crowe got this covered.

MODERATION:   Since we have like 3500 MCU threads, I’m just gonna post this here in hopes that everyone sees it, so that I don’t have to post it like 3500 times individually and spam all the threads:   When you’re talking about the MCU, please make sure that you’re talking specifically about that title in that thread. I.e; Dr Strange Thread is for Dr Strange.    And if you want to reference any other property, especially if it isn’t out yet, please use the spoiler t

Drugs allow to buy social peace in lots of countries.

It brings money to difficult areas & neighborhoods.

We know where the fields are but we let them grow anyway.

 

Nobody feels responsible for anything anyway, nobody gives a shit, everything we buy (drugs, clothes, food, smartphones, etc) is the root of exploitaiton and modern slavery in all the poorest areas of the world.

Someday this awful system will crumble.

 

Butterfly Effect : You snort a line of coke in a cool party of rich american boys while the producer of said cocaine just kidnapped a 11 yo girl in Mexico to rape.

Circle of Life.

 

Demi Lovato s misery creates even worse misery elsewhere  because she consumes the product.

Would human trafficking stop without drug money ? That seem a bit of a easy way to look at it.

 

Has the cartel got richer they started to take control of the human traffics business, but it existed outside of them already. Remove drug money would not be surprising if it would not augment human trafficking:

 

https://www.insightcrime.org/news/analysis/study-examines-mexico-drug-and-human-trafficking-overlap/

If the chance at big revenues pulled in the drug gangs, two other factors from within Mexico also pushed them in the same direction. First, the crackdown on the movement of cocaine and other drugs encouraged them to diversify their revenues. Human trafficking was an obvious new revenue stream, though not the only one. As InSight Crime has documented, gangs like the Zetas have engaged in extortion, oil theft, kidnapping for ransom, and many other illicit activities, where in years past drug gangs focused almost exclusively on trafficking.

 

Or maybe the ability to corrupt authority so much to make trafficking a safe business for the criminal would not make it possible to start a big ring to start with, without drug money.

No, but we know how the drug, human trafficking money are intertwinded.

 

Mexican Gangs and drug lords are some of the most violent and vicious people on Earth.

The biggest drug killers are not the ones Lovato overdosed on tho :

 

-sugar

-fat

-alcohol 

-prescription drugs

 

Empires are built on those 4.

 

While it doesn't kill it's important to include cyber addiction, it's the fastest-growing addiction mostly coming from the reliance on social networks, it's becoming pretty dangerous without being deadly.

Yea man these edgy takes from you and Futurist but I don't think reading a bunch of silly memes from you bozos or eating chocolate. is the same as overdosing on fucking heroin, no offense. Come on now.

 

Poor Demi. Addiction is awful and heroin is the worst drug there is.

Her song Sober was just on the radio. I’m not sure if that was in good taste right now.

 

Is this video of her clearly high and confused by an interviewers question in good taste right now?

"While it doesn't kill"

 

But thanks to admit you only watch pics/memes and don't really read posts before answering them, it's really telling ;)

 

And apparently @aabattery @Jayhawk and @WrathOfHan are not better than you in this department (their like/FAV), you guys seriously need to buy some glasses!

What even is your point?  That there's stuff out there that more people are getting addicted from than heroin?  I don't get it.  Why is this what you're trying to bring into the conversation?

I've never cared about any Lin Manuel Miranda projects until now but yes please.

Although as someone pointed out to me it's hard to imagine any dramatized version of Fosse's life being more effective than All That Jazz. Rockwell and Williams still get me onboard though.

In your profile you should be able to see your warnings which contain the time you are banned.

 

You were thread banned for 14 days on the 9th which ended yesterday so I removed the ban.
