Wow, that really hurts. But by now most people know a tickle when they see
it.

Why do people have the need to make public their kill-filing of others?

I do not understand.

It is children acting like children. They have no sophistication. That is
something that only comes with adulthood.

Dumbass -


Western Europe's relaxed attitude towards recreatiionals seems to be
working just fine.

In the US, a few of the drugs in the list are illegal, but most are
used w/ prescriptions and some (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine) are used
on a regular basis, perhaps by a majority of the population. Most
people learn how to deal with them just fine. The ones who cannot
usually have some sort of issue beyond drugs. The drug use is a
symptom something deeper.

Regardless, it is a fact that we live in a culture where most people
dope up regularly with something. Very few are totally clean.

The only dumbass here is you.

Western Europe's relaxed attitude towards recreatiionals seems to be
working just fine.

Not true. It is ****ing things up.

used w/ prescriptions and some (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine) are used
on a regular basis, perhaps by a majority of the population. Most

symptom something deeper.

Again, not true. ANYONE can easily become addicted to some drugs. All you
ever have to do is just try them in a permissive environment. Some
recreational drugs can kill you the first time you try them if you are
unlucky enough.

Regardless, it is a fact that we live in a culture where most people
dope up regularly with something. Very few are totally clean.

MOST people are not into recreational drugs, not even alcohol.

You need to come up with a rational explanation for why the Chinese were not
able to handle opium. After all, it was just a recreational drug that seemed
to be harmless.

That's a bunch of bull****.

I know this empirically. I'm a musician. At least half of the local
community would flunk a random drug test. At least half. Maybe three
quarters. In general they function just fine, mostly restricting the
use to weekend nights.

Some people do get addicted. IMO, it's usually a symptom of a deeper
chemical imbalance and the drug use in those people is a way of self-
medicating the problem.

If you think about it objectively, those are also doping methods.

BTW, caffeine in excessive quantities is banned by the UCI. And
estrogen?

I believe they removed the caffeine limit a few years ago. Did they add it
back in?

Sure you do. Not hard do understand.
What's funny is to be plonked, then
have the plonker come back at you.
And I was plonked for an innocent bit
of fun the plonker took seriously. Sweet.

What is totally clean?

- Alcohol
- Tobacco
- Aspirin
