The previous generation? I'm not a native speaker so I'm not 100% sure with the terms.

And then when you even dare mention that they fucked up the housing market they call you lazy and entitled.

That's the exact opposite of what the article is saying.
But hey baby boomers don't mind contradicting themselves when they're criticizing millenials.

Not sure either but I think the couch one is like "what did you say bitch" and the car is like "when u see your friend getting beat up but you remember that he owes you $5" or something like that.

And Filthy Frank (at least for the pseudo-history memes)

Thank you, billions of years of evolution

Hah, thanks :3

@tkdbb156 Exactly! That's what I've been saying. Thank you thank you thank you.
@chu I'm quite the opposite. I don't care what you put in your body as long as it doesn't make you hurt anyone else. But I'm glad we agree on the fact that substances like caffeine and alcohol shouldn't be viewed as different just because they have a bit of historical/cultural background. I realized that something's wrong with society when people started giving me weird looks for saying I don't drink alcohol. But that was high school so I couldn't expect anything else.

That's a very 90's way of thinking. "Drugs are bad, don't do em, conversation over."
There was this statistic I saw a while back that said that about 90% of drug users are casual users, only 10% become addicted. This article is the closest thing I found but unfortunately it's not quite it: http://ideas.time.com/2013/11/21/trey-radel-scandal-whats-so-bad-about-casual-drug-use/
So you say there's no excuse to put a possibly addictive substance in your body ever? Okay. You ever drank alcohol or coffee? You ever ate something with sugar in it? By your own logic that makes you a disaster of a person.
(Fun fact: a lot of people became addicts thanks to opioid based painkillers which are 100% legal.)
I bet that during the prohibition there were people who said "alcohol is banned for a reason." but that doesn't make it right.
(I see the downvote stalker troll is still on a rampage, unless it's you doing the downvoting which would be hilarious.)

I was writing a really long comment but my browser crashed and it got lost, also it's early morning here and I just woke up so sorry if I won't make much sense. By "the system" I don't mean any crazy conspiracy shit like the Illuminati or whatever, I mean how the govt is treating drugs. Specifically the war on drugs. As I already said it's similar to the prohibition – a substance is banned, people seek it illegally and its only source are gangs/cartels. These cartels, apart from selling stuff that is illegal, also wage war between each other, resulting in gang violence and many deaths. If we legalize drugs, they will become a lot more accessible, we will get rid of the cartels and dealers and the situation will improve. Then of course we can crack down on the gangs and so on and give addicted people rehab.

@chu Idk I think the system is the cause of these symptoms. The war on drugs itself causes these symptoms. Dealers are just assholes who exploit this system, they didn't create it, they just feed on it. I'm for dealing with them mercilessly as well but as @edgar said you won't get rid of them just by killing them because they will keep emerging as long as the war on drugs exists.
(Edit: oh boy, either I have a downvote stalker on my back or someone is triggered that I disagree with them but is too big of a pussy to present their arguments.)

^ this

Yeah, pretty much.

Oh I forgot point f) focus the police force that is used to crack down on drug users to do something that's really useful like catching actual criminals like murderers, rapists and so on.

I'm 100% for eliminating the crime that is connected to drugs – dealers, cartels, all that. But the best way to achieve it is imo legalizing, taxing and regulating drugs, not by starting a war on drugs. It's just like the prohibition, gangs were/are on the rise because some chemicals are banned. By decriminalizing and legalizing drugs we could
a) get addicted people help instead of throwing them in jail or killing them (kudos to Obama for releasing non-violent drug offenders),
b) eliminate crime connected to drugs,
c) get rid of cheap knockoff drugs like krokodil which are dangerous to one's health,
d) get a shitton of tax money from drugs,
e) create jobs connected to refining drugs.
At the end of the day, drugs are not that different from substances we already use like caffeine, alcohol, sugar, or painkillers. Why treat them with such hostility?
Disclaimer: I don't do any drugs so I have no personal interest in their legalization, I just think the war on drugs is irrational.

You, my friend, don't know the true power of manipulation and psychological harm. Not to say that I do, most of the time I'm too nice to do anything like that to anyone, but I realize that it can have immense consequences without getting into trouble, if you do it right.
