I saw a cashier confront someone doing this at PetSmart. PETSMART. Even had a little puppy with him for added effect. Poor pup got dragged into it.

See my above comment. Drug users don’t all do this shit just a lot of criminals also do drugs. I know the comment was made innocently but I hate addicts being synonymous with being a horrible person.

Totally. If that were my grandmother I’d shoot the jackass myself.

You know, I went and looked it up!

But, drugs. They turn good people into crazy idiots, but doesn’t mean they should be disposed of. I watch a whole lot of Intervention and am a recovering alcoholic and not a geriatric purse-snatcher (or apologist), but I reckon there are more addicts than psychopaths out there.

You paint pictures with your words. Anteater on meth. Like poetry! I want to read your short fiction, friend.

Anteater on Meth

It’s really terrifying when I fall asleep with the tv on and wake up at 4 am to Ron Paul yelling at me about gold.

I don’t think fat, rich westerners started taking tours of refugee camps in order to find their very own green-eyed afghan girl. So the fetishization you are talking about might just be in your mind.

Your cynicism has been noted. Hope you got the satisfaction you were looking for.

Yes, NatGeo did that update story in ‘02. It was really remarkable the photographer found her again, and remarkable how just that one photo served to bring awareness of Afghanistan to so many people.

As a BU alum, let me just say fuck John Silber with a rusty chainsaw.

I think that over the past few years, Republican rhetoric has just become so unhinged and unabashedly batshit that people forget there was a point when Republican vs. Democrats was truly a matter of economic/welfare policies. Then family values and culture wars got dragged into it and now here we are.

540/1810 is about 30%, not even close to 50%. And considering that the US produces about a quarter of the world’s GDP, it’s not all that far out of line.

Can someone please explain to me the thought process behind the folks who switched from pro-Bernie to pro-Johnson? Is it the marijuana thing? Because otherwise they have virtually opposite economic policy ideas.

He sound sane or ????

Weld isn’t perfect, by any means, but I would at least feel less bad about this election if the three VP candidates were running for the big show.

Memo to Jill Stein voters : Ditto.
