Yeah, and why do we have drug laws? Obviously people can still take drugs and if just one person does then the laws are a complete and utter failure.

Yes, the war on drugs has been a complete and utter failure that has caused more harm than good.

Nah I'm enough of an arsehole to try that, but nowhere near smart enough.

It was the first example off the top of my head, and I'm trying to remember the movie or podcast or something where I heard someone bring it up in that context (though to much better effect), but I'm drawing a complete blank right now.


vvvvv No I've just remembered, it was the Daily Show bit that John Oliver did about Australian gun control. He was speaking to that lunatic American who was all "more guns for everyone because laws are just words on paper" and brought up drug laws. I think.

I like that you can tell that what happened is the first guy found the bear in the dumpster, went and got the second guy and camera man and said, "Dude, the most amazing thing is in there, you've got to see it!" Now they're going to go get their buddy and the cycle will repeat.

This isn't psychosis, it's stupid entitlement. Working in customer service, I talk to women like her probably 5-6 times a day. They can't wrap their minds around there being consequences to their actions. "I didn't pay my bill for 6 months, how dare you shut me off! What do you mean you can't turn my service back on until Monday! *Incoherent screeching, wailing, gnashing of teeth* LET ME TALK TO YOUR SUPERVISOR!" It's always well off white women. They're so entitled they lose their poo poo whenever someone tells them they can't have what they want or they will be suffering consequences for their very poor choices.

They're also accustomed to having their demands met because most of their experience is with shouting harassment at overworked customer service staff who don't have enough time or fucks to give and will do whatever it takes just to get away ASAP.

But the police do not work like that. They are not there to provide accommodation, and shouting at them only makes them stronger.

I had a buddy in rural Idaho a few years ago who was very fond of drink drives - he'd just go driving around drinking the cheapest stuff he could find at service stations, so usually 4-Loko or other caffeinated alco-pops.

It was perfectly legal here until 2011 - as long as you weren't over the BAC limit to drive (0.05%) then you could drink alcohol while behind the wheel.

Spanish matador dies after being gored during bullfight

quote:

A Spanish bullfighter died after he tripped in the ring and was gored by the bull in south-western France, according to media reports. Ivan Fandino, 36, was taken to hospital, but later died from his injuries, Spanish news agency EFE reported, citing sources close to the Basque matador’s entourage. Fandino stumbled during a fight in Aire-sur-l’Adour on Saturday after he tripped on a cape used in a turn to engage and distract the specially bred fighting bull. The animal then pierced the matador’s torso with its horns, EFE said.
