How did we go from talking about prisons to talking about anal sex?

Do you have any evidence that legalizing drugs increases homicides and drug overdoses?

I guess cannabis does cause a few traffic related deaths per year, but that's a mere fraction of alcohol-related deaths.

I honestly believe that any nutsack you put forth as an example of
incomprehensible brutality (Albert Fish, Diane Downs, Alfred Hitler, Aileen
Wuornos, George W. Bush and so on and so forth) was made that way
through circumstances perfectly avoidable in a better society. Exactly what
that society would be, I have no idea, but I suspect it would have to involve
a whole lot more tolerance, much less greed and an extremely limited
power given to the tiny elite.

Most criminals are just normal people who have grown up in bad circumstances, but I think it streches idealism a bit too far to suggest a society without wackos is possible.

There are many people who had a worse childhood than Hitler, and yet they didn't become mass-murderers.

Ha! I met a cokehead the other night. She was a skank whose "boyfriend" and the "boyfriend's" "girlfriend" beat her up and kicked her out of her apartment. She was on the street and trying to catch a ride so that some guy she knew would give her some money for a half hour's work of some undisclosed kind so she could get a room for the night.

Pretty girl, but her body was all messed up - wrinkled, saggy belly from a C-section, at 22 years old! She was real ghetto trash.

I got her some food and gave her a ride to buy some shoes, but she kept asking for more from me...I had to leave her on the streets where I found her. She offered herself to me but I didn't go for it...

Not all coke users are upper class!

The PM I sent you saying I think you and Palynka are OK and that's why I'm
picking a fight with you? Is that the one? The PM that was trying to persuade
you not to follow this line of inquiry becuase you'll get burnt. That one you mean?
You're going to lose this, qu1ck. You obviously are taking this very personally and that means you will be easy to upset. Seitse has the tactical advantage! Don't run into the machine guns without cover!

Before you criticise someone you should walk a mile in their shoes.

That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes!

Really, did you buy her shoes??
