Absolutely you're a good man obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent 6 months in Afghanistan as well. His wife and kids were there to greet him. Got to tell his family what a great dude their dad was.

Drugs have created a never ending cycle. Demand for many "legal" drugs are way up because of the demand for illegal ones.

I have watched it. No what the difference between this discussion and that show? There are family members that are trying to help. I will help easily family members, but I would rather see tax money going towards needed medication for diabetes than waste it on OD revival for some.

How do you know some of us aren't speaking about family members. Also I consider my close friends "family" too so that adds in a few more situations.

Anler Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Whats to investigate? People want to buy weapons, US military companies want to sell weapons. They sell weapons to terrorists everyday, why not cartels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl G? There is the second, right? If I had a rocket launcher some some of a bitch would die. Because you are not in a cartel or terrorist org thats why.

I’m assuming that you want that because the damage from drug use is self inflicted. Yet many who have been diagnosed with diabetes have it because of lifestyle choices. In other words, self inflicted. So do you plan on having a litmus test for those that deserve free insulin vs those that don’t based on lifestyle choices?

Mexico’s army is finding belt-fed machine guns, rocket launchers and grenades that are not sold for civilian use in the United States. “The (Mexican) Defense Department has warned the United States about weapons entering Mexico that are for the exclusive use of the U.S. army,” Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said. “It is very urgent that an investigation into this be carried out.” We could start by not leaving munitions behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new generation of opioids are highly addictive. It’s pretty easy to simply say, well don’t do them in the first place. Decades ago, friends of mine at a party had coke. In my drunken state I tried it. God damn what a high. I was in great physical shape already and I thought I was superman, for hours. Next day the crash was crazy. If I could have got more I probably would have, got back on the dragon. i have a lot of sympathy for those addicted. I love Satan’s soda more than I should. Ive done things while drunk that would make Jesus weep, many times. My wife forgives me more than she should. Not proud of it, not making excuses, just solidifies my perspective on addiction. We need better treatment centres, and laws to force those addicted into them. That flys against my freedom bone, but sometimes bad things must be done for good reasons. In a couple weeks it will be one year ago that I quit drinking. I never figured it would be that easy but I did it cold turkey. No matter what the vice is, addiction is real and can be hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
