Alcohol abuse can result in those problems as well, in addition to many acts of violence domestic and otherwise, do you want that to be illegal too?

Ask any cop what the differences are for someone driving stoned on grass or booze? Let me go ahead and tell you. There are no differences and driving under the influence of dope or booze will kill you and others. Booze and grass if you are a daily user will turn your brain into mush. But since Biden has already turned our military into a woke joke I’m certain he’ll do an executive order and tell the US military after they get their sex changes they can stay stoned on dope to calm their nerves.

Hmm, probably still won’t help me, mine was for cultivation not possession. I had a total of 3 tiny plants growing in my closet when the cops busted in for a medical emergency and noticed the grow lights emanating from there. Wound up being a costly ordeal with lawyers and fines, but I would still like to get it off my record even at this late date. Ironically I’m now thinking of quitting marijuana because it tends to sap my energy and motivation, this at a time when they are finally legalizing it.

He got fired and probably got charged too (since he drove to work). But despite how dangerous this was and how lucky it was nobody was hurt, there isn't the same outcry about the dangers of alcohol or calling for people to be jailed for 20 years for having a beer.

Pop songs are more about making and reliving memories than they are about artistic value. People tend to be nostalgic about pop songs from their youth or from other significant events in their lives and they have an affection for the songs that bring those memories back.

Pop music is meant to be disposable. A relic from a certain time and place. If you want music that has artistic merit, listen to a Beethoven symphony or a Radiohead album if you are more in the mood for something modern.

To pick one song from the list, "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band, I can see why many feel it is an insipid lightweight song. But for me, it brings back strong memories from the summer of 1976, when I went on a long road trip with my family. As we drove up the East Coast during that Bicentennial weekend, that song seemed to come on every radio station and at night, there were indeed fireworks going off all around us on the interstates.

So for me, it's not a stupid pop song. It's a song that puts me back in the family station wagon as a 13 year old kid, the smell of the burgers and fries we stopped for, the Holiday Inn swimming pool, my brother and sister fighting in the back, my Dad yelling at me for spilling ice cream on the car seat.

I didn't even know what "Afternoon Delight" was all about until I got a little older. At the time, I thought they were talking about shooting off fireworks in the afternoon. Well, that is kind of what it means but not in the way I interpreted it at the time.

It should be noted that Southerners serve at a higher rate than any other group, accounting for about 40 percent of the military despite the South only having 33 percent of the US population. I suspect that all the wokeness in the military which includes the war on all things Confederate may be one of the reasons why the Army is failing to meet its recruiting goals. Besides, what young white guy would want to join the military when they are being told that they are the cause of all the problems and are in fact, the enemy.

"It’s not just renaming bases it’s erasing any and all names of ANYTHING in the DOD named for any Confederate soldier or anyone that had anything to do with the Confederacy."

About the same time they brought up changing the names of the military bases, the Democrats also introduced into one of the initial defense Bills, the order to take down all the Confederate monuments at the Civil War battlefields run by the National Park Service. I was sent a group email about that, and the email also included a conversation about the removal of the statues, and paintings in the Capitol Building. One of the historians who commented in the emails was okay with removing the statues and paintings in the Capitol, as long as that was all they were planning to do. I pointed out to them that, that was how liberals work. They start out slow, get what they want, then go for the jugular. First it would be the statues and paintings, then it would be Confederate memorials, and battleground monuments, etc. I couldn't believe someone who makes their living from the topic of history was too dumb to even realize that. I never got a reply from that person. The sad thing is that there are far too many Republicans in Congress who are willing to roll over for the Democrats, and vote in favor of this stuff. I changed my 40+ year registration as a Republican to "no party" after January 6th, because I couldn't believe the number of gutless Republicans there were that day. I have no faith in the GOP/Republican Party any more. I want nothing to do with them. I'd rather sit home on Election Day, than hold my nose to vote for someone who I know will stab me, and Donald Trump in the back.

I think drinking milk while listening to Taylor Swift was a thing for a bit.

Because nazis lack subtlety; you can never have too many white things.

The milk thing was because certain populations are less predisposed to lactose intolerance (generally northern Europeans) and some populations are more disposed (Africans, Asians, and Jewish people) so chugging a bunch of milk was a way to prove how "white" you are.

The neo-con posters here seethe, mock, and insult with zeal. What drives this? Very similar approach was used when the vaccine narrative was questioned. Who are these folks? From my perspective, this war mongering is an existential threat to the future of my family and all that I love and Ukraine losing a few breakaway regions means nothing in comparison.

Here’s something that will tick you off....I learned yesterday since Brandon took office 110,000 people died from the Fentanyl coming over the border and this is not even counting the amount of deaths caused by criminals illegally in the country. Guess how many Ukrainians have died since Russian invaded the Ukraine? 6,114 Yet Brandon continues to send billions upon billions of dollars to the Ukraine to defend its borders while we get S H * T

So now you’re calling the Jewish Zelinsky Hitler. That’s rich. That’s original. And that is completely brainless. What countries has Zelinsky invaded? What land grabs has he made?

Your pedophile Putin has invaded the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine and threatened all his western neighbors. Meanwhile you’ve helped him make war on his own people by just repeating Moscow talking points endlessly while erasing the influences of Bulgakov, Dostoyevsky, and Tolstoy and replacing it with comic book level NKVD Putin musings.

Russia bombing women and children again? Certainly nothing breaking about that. That’s the Russian way of war historically.

We do it too. The way you win a war is you break the enemies will to fight. If an enemy knows he is putting his women and children at risk he might reconsider continuing the war.

We didn't do enough of it, which is why we have lost every major war since WW II.

We never broke the will of the enemy because armchair morons in DC implements rules of engagement that sacrificed our troops over the civilians near the enemy.

If the enemy hides troops or equipment in schools, hospitals or churches, they are legitimate military targets.

The will of the enemy must be broken. That is why we have not won a war since 1945.

George Carlin said it best:

“…the war in Vietnam, which has only been over for about sixteen or seventeen years, and thanks to the lies and deceits surrounding that war, I guess it’s no surprise that the very same condition was called “Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.” Still eight syllables, but we’ve added a hyphen! And the pain is completely buried under jargon. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’ll bet you if we’d have still been calling it ‘Shellshock’, some of those Vietnam veterans might have gotten the attention they needed at the time. I’ll betcha that. I’ll betcha that.”

These people have been engaged in sedition against our Constitution and way of life since the 1960’s, slowly working their treason to destroy our constitutional republic. They are the domestic enemies mentioned in our oath of enlistment.

Every now and then that thought creeps into my head, but I quickly squash it. I come from generations of service to this country. The country hasn’t failed us, the leadership has. It’s our task to keep the torch lit, and act when the time becomes completely necessary. I fear that time is coming sooner than a lot of us want it to. For now, I will continue to serve the idea of the Founding Fathers and keep the faith until my last breath. There is no place left to run, and no one is going to come to our aid. WE MUST STAY ON WATCH AND BE THE POINT MEN (AND WOMEN) TO LEAD THE OTHERS OUT OF THIS.

If the goal of our Vietnam involvement, was to stop Communism from infecting America, clearly it was a failure. Back then we expended millions of tons of ordnance to destroy the Communist threat. I fail to see how that should change now that they’re infecting us like a metastazing cancer.

I pointed out to her that every significant piece of legislation for veterans was written and passed by democommies.

USAR 1976-2007

My sister said the other day that she didn’t understand why I was so against socialism because I use the socialized medicine VA Hospital System for TBI care and everyone else has to pay my bills. She seemed surprised when I shut her down -— but so many people today feel that same way because so many people today neither volunteered nor had to serve even a single day to reap all their opportunities and benefits this country offers.

My Dad fought in both WWII and Korea -— retired after 20+ years. We were raised as Army brats.

Maybe that’s a man’s point of view. Speaking for myself, I wouldn’t return to pre-menopause days for anything.

Maybe it depends on the definition of “destroyed”.
