Title: Zombie's
Post by: 1Cane on January 18, 2023, 02:35:40 PM
My oldest daughter was a store manager in North Seatle. Recently an addict was stabbing himself with his needle and bleeding really good. He tried to enter store, so they locked him out. He then proceeded to lean and touch the store front getting blood everywhere. People were kept in store for 2 hours until police arrived. It gets better though a person was shot in the alley behind the store and police arrived in 45 minutes. If you are still there 45 minutes after shooting someone, I think you should go to jail. This is not knocking the police they are swamped with the situation. There is a happy ending she took a higher paying job OUTSIDE of Seattle:x :x :x

Zombies is a good analogy for those people that I have used before, and it's one of the reasons we left Portland. It's amazing to me how those people stay alive during the winter. It's a legit slow motion zombie apocalypse out there. The only fix is scooping them up and taking them to a farm where they are forced off the drugs and made to pick fruit for $3 an hour until they can save up enough to leave, get an apartment, and live on their own. There would be businesses who could work with the farm to hire people who have improved. It would be great for tax paying citizens who have to put up with littering and disgust from these people. I was fed up having to pay 4k a year property taxes for the mess. These people should not be allowed to be free loaders, but shouldn't be in jail. They need a health center farm to be carried off to. The drugs like meth and heroin are just too strong and ruining the populations out there. It's causing crime, disease, and business to shut down and no one wants to visit a trash dump for vacation.

Sorry to say it bro, but being a tax paying citizen in 2023 equates to funding war, pharma crime and corruption. It's no wonder so many people turn to drugs to escape the reality.

While all that is true...drug abuse has been around as long as drugs have
It's a weakness of personal will that sends most down that rabbit hole imo
Yes something might trigger that first taste but their weakness is what kept them there
Then you have abuse like Michael Jackson and Prince...
Weakness of personal will imo
Some can't seem to handle that free will thing very well..

I'm with you. I've been trying to create a #nationaltaxboycott for a while, but no big names want to get behind it. Crazy we pay 25-40% of salary in taxes and sales tax and property tax while they continue to print trillions and tell us "it needs to happen" bastages man.

You have to realize that some of these power drugs like Heroin have not been around and accessible like they are now, atleast in America before 1990 when we started dabbling in the middle east. It's really bad over there too. The issue is that one hit can instantly addict you and then you find yourself spending $300 a week on it. Things like DMT, THC, and Shrooms have been around for a while used by the native American population for a more spiritual connection. I feel if used correctly, could actually really help a lot of people. I experienced a rather spiritual awakening on DMT in college that completely changed my outlook on the natural world.
Now you say it's weakness or what have you. However it's part of the natural sense to experiment. Some of these drugs are too damn powerful and addict folks so hard that they cannot stop. It's more like a weapon than a drug. These types were not used until really the mid 80s when crack came, but it got way worse with heroin and meth, now fentenyl which I consider a chemical war attack on Americans and should be dealt as such. IMO throwing all "drugs" into a large box saying they are all bad is not right. Some people would be better off being able to go a place with friends under the supervision of doctors and be administerd DMT or Schrooms, then be forced to spend the night there. It would create a far better approach than just "don't do drugs because we said so" everyone knows kids break rules and don't always listen to adults, so doing them recreationally behind the parents/adults backs is what we see today. Unless the supply of these power drugs can be stopped, more and more will fall pray, even if they don't intend to. Children are weak minded in that sense and it's up to adults to make sure they don't fall pray. It's just that many teens are far more persuaded by peer pressure and accessibility to the drugs which makes the situation very difficult.

When I was a brand new rookie, less that 4 months out on the street. I had to respond to a call in the inside the city Pasqua reservation. It was a disturbing the peace call with a heroin addict as the problem. I asked him if he understood that using the drug could and likely would kill him, he said yes. I then asked him why he used it. The answer was simple, "because it felt so good".
You cannot prevent folks who are that weak minded from themselves.

Yes naturally it feels good. Cuts right to the core behavioural-mechanisms of the primitive creature within. What chance does willpower, good character or knowing better have against a swift shortcut to a euphoric state entirely detached from your situation or future. Especially if you were disenfranchised from society from birth, or abused, or ostracised...

So Ukraine getting the ability to defend itself (multiple countries sending aid that comes from taxpayer monies) is a bad thing. That's a hot take.
War in Ukraine is another $ scheme. Rich are paying themselves and cronies as usual, like Iraq, Afghanistan… The demand to have accountability and transparency into where every $ is going for “aid” to Ukraine has been laughed at by the DC crooks. And yet yesterday given $2 billion more :rolleyes: :bhead

There's only two explanations that you would think the defence of the Ukraine is what's mainly going on: you're so indoctrinated by your own propaganda or too daft to see through it (which amounts to the same) or you stand to gain from what's really happening even if it's just bones thrown from you lords' table.

Stop attributing things to me which I never stated
I never said anything about, "mainly". That said the US has 26.7 billion in military aid, no small number and close to 50 billion with humanitarian and direct financial.

"Bless your heart" is a phrase common to the Southern United States.[1][2] The phrase has multiple meanings and is used to express genuine sympathy but more often as an insult that conveys condescension, derision, or contempt.
Would love a productive discussion amongst civilised, educated and well-meaning people with the goal to find an equitable non-violent solution. You could call me a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. But is not likely to happen. Not here, not now and frankly not at this stage of human development, anymore - a different road was chosen.

It's nothing bud. The proportions of morality-of-payment are entirely a red-herring. It's a tiny, insignificant down payment on a business venture that stands to return uncountable billions for the next generation and-a-half at least. One calculation suggested it was roughly 1% of your actual 'defence' budget, with no American casualties and comfortably off the radar of those inconvenient private citizens who protested the Vietnam war, for instance. Surely the best and most exciting investment adventure to date!
Differences aside let's all face it: The wars will never stop, it'll just shift from here to there while jingoistic terminology, propaganda and here's-what's-in-it-for-our-faction is all that's needed to neutralise objections from the general population, too stressed, uneducated, busy and competing over petty things to cohesively move forward. A perpetual flirtation with self-destruction, weapons-production, environmental disaster (for us, not the planet) and enslavement of a species which has the potential to do something better. But you think you're so clever, and classless and free.

Who paid or the development, construction and testing of equipment sent? ( There's that pesky rhetorical again.) Ohh and there have been American casualties, as a matter of fact an AWOL SEAL was killed. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-seal-daniel-swift-killed-ukraine-official-says/
Also, would you like WW3? Because any direct US involvement, that's what you get. Complaining about the amount US aid and the size of its defense budget is laughable. Since ww2, Uncle Sugar's defense budget has allowed Europe to neglect theirs.
Who paid or the development, construction and testing of equipment sent? ( There's that pesky rhetorical again.)
Yeah yeah, it is perfectly reasonable to expect a return on your investment. Only, you'd be singing a different anti-war tune if it was your children crushed to death under exploded concrete. You do of course realise you've supported my point: you evaluate all things as business.
Ohh and there have been American casualties, as a matter of fact an AWOL SEAL was killed.
A solider who has been listed as an active deserter since 2019, not acting as an official representative of the American government and what is your point, that he was brave and a hero? Sounds like he was combat thirsty to me. You know your problem KnorB, you've been marinaded in your jingoistic propaganda for so long you've come to worship it and you mistake that for truth and justice and thinking for yourself. Zombie.
Also, would you like WW3? Because any direct US involvement, that's what you get.
I'm sorry if this offends others here present: Absence of US involvement would not have us at the brink of WW3 again in the first place and no free-thinking person outside of the US has not considered or become aware of this. In fact some of your more erudite thinkers have and are saying that too, but you have that handled nicely since about 1947. Just attach a label and go on with your day as if that's an argument. They aren't rich anyway, otherwise they wouldn't be thinkers.
Complaining about the amount US aid and the size of its defense budget is laughable. Since ww2, Uncle Sugar's defense budget has allowed Europe to neglect theirs.
I did no such thing. Your 'defence' budget is approximately 2.5 times larger than your closet single potential opponent. Do you expect an impending invasion from the Canadians perhaps? Do you know where that ratio comes from? Or another ratio perhaps. North Americans approximately 7% of the world's population controlling approximately 45% of it's wealth and resources. Is that simply because you're awesome? And then you complain about others not helping to pay the bill for your empire. Get stuffed. There is only one end-game to this and it is ultimately the destruction of organised civilisation.
KnorB and his swaggering inflexible Russian Federation-like ignorance aside, for anyone that's actually interested in a genuine experiential opinion. I live here, in Europe. We have Ukrainians living amongst us. They look very USSR in mannerism and attitude and civility but you can see they like the flavour of 'the West'. More broadly the European feeling or movement amongst the non-juvenile people of Europe is that the time to use war to settle these differences and distributions ought to be behind us. Do you wonder that the Germans baulk at sending Leopards. 70 years of peace here destroyed by what now appears to be (according to evidence) a deliberately cornered animal like Putin and you'd like us to be grateful.

Water off a duck's back mate. Last American to 'accuse' me of being womanlike was Judge in the MA who proceeded to display his presumably more brave position on the masculinity spectrum by running away from every fight he lost advantage in. So your attempted insult is like the rest of it, hollow.
Euros: US military involved in too many overseas activities. Also Euros: REEEEEEE do something about MUhhh Russsia reeeeeeeee!
Most everybody outside of the US: It's not cool to assassinate leaders of foreign nations, overthrow regimes and meddle with the autonomy of nations and start wars to harvest the wealth of the world for yourself and pay for the monster of a military to keep doing it. US: Putin hacked our paper ballot boxes, that's why Trump didn't get re-elected.
Is this a genuine question asking me to evidence my claim in the interests of a reasonable discussion amongst educated people of good will or another rhetorical question? KnorB advised me to watch for those.

You are like a Roland keyboard Shuffler. Just press on you in certain shapes and certain predictable sounds come out with a similar amount of minimal internal processing.
More bravado from the insignificant. Beg for more aid.
Does not matter a jot who says a thing. It's what they say that matters. Anywhere outside of the US apparently. Unlike your Ad hominem, which when used against someone not arguing from authority is fallacious no matter who says it.
The Ukranian's are begging for aid to wriggle-out of a situation you AT LEAST complicity allowed to unfold with full foreknowledge and preparation, including the presentation of Mad-Dog Putin's battle plan presented in its entirety and detail to them in the first 24-hours, along with your loan contracts and lend-lease agreements dividing up the next 70-years of their productivity & natural resources (at least) sitting on a plane with a dozen fountain pens on standby. And there's Shuffler, rolling down the freeway in his truck, drinking soda and not having to trouble his tiny mind with the bloody and graphic consequences for civilians.
And you think this is strength and power. Shall we look up the word racketeering together Bronk? You do like the dictionary game I observe :)
And no, for the rest of you I do not dislike Americans or think you are especially culpable in a lot of this. I've been there and I know there are people of good will and intention there. America was not great when you were all having a marvellous lifestyle and having lots of shiny toys. It was great when you represented a beacon of freedom and justice and acted with morality, nobility and bravery which you have several times since WW2 usually without gratitude or profit, it has to be said.
