From building the railroads to growing pot.
Kind of shocking there is essentially Chinese slave labor going on in the US in 2024.

We’re not spying on air bases from all these farms we bought.
We’re growing super-potent weed to wreck another generation of Americans.
Reefer Madness!!! Get off my lawn!!!
Seriously, if everyone smoked, vaped, or ate edibles…there wouldn’t be a plethora of uptight assholes like you. You’re welcome.
Dumber than Hell weighs in!

I was hoping for Floyd from True Romance...

Not a Trumper

I won't, but I'd rather vote for Trump than be a far less successful version of him.
Which you appear to be.
You have to admit that Floyd from True Romance would be a funnier meme. Or perhaps the Scarface character on Half Baked.
Definitely not a Trumper. Feel better?

Floyd would work. Also, Otto from A Fish Called Wanda.
Don't call me stupid!
I was going the pothead direction, you're going "Fredo" it seems.

Speaking of Fredo, who ya' got for Frances?
I'm thinking Jerry Black, at the end of The Pledge

Weed cures cancer and erases pain. Makes you more ambitious and jolly.

You’re most definitely the funnest guy at parties.

See, that's the thing about druggies and drunks: You think you're fun and funny, but you're not.
Inebriation does that to people. Drooling, puking, stumbling, inarticulate stupidity isn't fun or funny. But I know, I know, you have it all under control! I mean, the evidence is obvious!
And know it alls.

Hmm, let’s see; MAS (Moe), Piggles (Larry), Iowa Cheeks (Curley). Perfect threesome.

Druggies and drunks definitely aren’t fun…
I agree. I thank God everyday that I’ve never been dependent on either. Oh, and I thank God that drooling, puking, and stumbling doesn’t apply to marijuana. I’m sure you knew that…maybe not. Puff puff pass
No one likes an angry pot head.

You're also a hypocrite when you criticize the psychedelics.
I criticize idiots like you who…
think they know more about psychedelics than they do. You’ve done LSD, mushrooms, and X quite a bit based on your posts. It shows and you think it has expanded your uneducated pea brain. Just know…you’re not that smart and you’re far from clever. In fact, you’ve become a Trumper fool. Sorry.
Having said that…I support legalization of all three if they’re prescribed and monitored by a physician with experience in the field.
"I hated philosophy in school". No one was surprised by this revelation.

Philosophy was boring…kinda like your posts…
I did, however, like courses that applied to my trade. You know…the ones that set you up to make money. Novel concept, huh?
Smoke weed and get paid, that's the theme of a lot of Tupac songs.
Yet, he was also a philosopher of sorts.
Tupac, while talented as fuck…
couldn’t escape the hood. And like you, he wasn’t the smartest guy.
Fucked a lot of hoes though...

You really are bitch slapping the lad. Why he has learned from the master, MAS. Like Socrates and
Plato. And of course Piggly wiggly Aristotle.
How coolie is that!

Chip Roy asked the other day on the floor of the House why we need taxes if we continue to just
print money at the rate we do. We're headed for economic oblivion, and those with a room temperature IQ in Washington understand this.
Beyond this, all the other markers:
- Plummeting fertility rates among native-born Americans and the refusal of more and more younger Americans to marry.
- Appalling ignorance and abysmal educational performance. The nations of the future, starting with China, have left us in their wake and, frankly, laugh at what we produce from our schools. Even countries that are not hostile to the United States. They find new ways to sort out and aid the gifted while we're busy eliminating F's in schools. We are a sad joke.
- Our increasingly feudalistic cities. I am not among the conservatives who dismiss the "income inequality" issue, even though I hate that term. Cursory examination of human history demonstrates it to be a powder keg and it will always catch up with any society headed along that road.
- As a sort of corollary to that, the tolerance of crime and other anti-social behaviors in our cities. This gets to lack of pride. We tolerate defecating on the sidewalk, needles on the sidewalk as addicts shoot up, vandalism, and then we tolerate shoplifting, and then we make excuses, as AOC did this weekend, for burglaries.
- The rapid disappearance from Judeo-Christianity from a culture that once embraced it. Erase one religion, and others will take its place, and most probably will dislike the new ones more than the previous one.
- The loss of direction among young men. Throngs of men who choose not to work and who have no reason to because they do not have families to support and many have parental enablers.
- For lack of a better term, the loss of stoicism as a value for men. Had we stoic men still in charge, we would not see the dismantling of meritocracy, the rise of "Wokeism," gender mania, and the drive to supplant logic and tradition with feelings to direct public policy and personal/family life. Men have failed to step up, and just like with religion, that void will always be replaced, and usually with something less than what had been. We had a sterling example during COVID. Feelings and irrational fears dominated, which necessitated repeating things like "Follow the science" to mask, no pun intended, what was actually occurring. The best moment of Trump's presidency was when he emerged from infection and simply stated that he got through it and so can you. If only we had proceeded through the pandemic with that stoic attitude and not hysteria, which gave way to colossally bad decisions, like lockdowns and remote schooling. Life is hard. Actually, let me get the quote exactly, from a guest I once heard on a radio talk show: "Life is hard and nobody owes you anything." Print it. Live it.
- The well-documented rise in hopelessness, loneliness, and addiction. Fraternal organizations and civic clubs are all but dead and people don't know their neighbors. It's hard to take pride in where you live and in your fellow people if you don't know them and don't care about them. Similarly, and connected to ignorance and lack of education/knowledge, if you don't know anything about the place you live and your country, you can't take pride in it and value it. And don't even get me started on those who love other places more, yet know nothing about those other places and peoples, either.
- The shrinking pool of young men willing to enlist in the armed forces. It's very simple: when people widely love their country, there is no shortage of young men willing to serve. The infiltration of political ideology into education has been extremely effective.
- The celebration of the profane, the deviant, the malevolent in popular culture. This, of course, connects to the hopelessness in our culture, which connects to the disappearance of religion and the regression of men.
- The decline of physical health. We are fatter, more sickly, and lazier than ever. We are mocked by most of the rest of the world on this count and, again, it's hard to take pride in one's self when in this state.
I am still surprised you don't follow Jordan Peterson, you echo much of what he says.
If I were to offer a video, say an hour or so, would you watch?
I think I have some stuff to add to your thoughts, let me organize mine...
Post of the year. Truer words never spoken...
