The other day, someone at a store, in our town, read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county, and he asked me a rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?" I replied, "I had a drug problem when I was young. I was drug to church on Sunday mornings. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials, no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents or told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or preacher, or if I didn't put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. "I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity. I was drug out to pull weeds in Mom's garden and flowerbeds and cockleburs out of dad's fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline or chop some firewood, and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the woodshed." Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin, and, if today's children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place. God bless the parents who drugged us!

The methamphetamine advocates aren't gonna like your post.

Yeah, LF is such a notorious tweaker hangout.
Come one, man ... loosen up. I posted Gatlin in the author block to draw attention. I knew there would be idiots showing up to pounce on it. Glad you could make it ...
You should take your own advice.

Is this another pot calling the kettle black moment?
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Palmdale just can't grasp the fact that someone can be against the war on drugs and yet not be a drug user.
Yes it would. And God has blessed the children whose parents drugged them to church, the wood shed, etc.
You think there are meth advocates? Seriously?

You don't think there are advocates of legalizing ALL drugs?

You think there are meth advocates? Seriously? ---------------------------- All the drug arguments that have been compounded for pot can be applied to meth. Begin with, "It's not the goverment's or anybody else's business what people choose to put in their bodies.". Take the marijuanna arguments, cross out marijunna then replace it with meth and you get what's coming. Working beside someone using meth is real fun. You get someone that is excited because they took something that convinces them they're a genius, but who has an empty head and tries to implement all their illusionary ideas and fantasies at the rate of ten a minute.
Yeah,but there aren't as many as you think,and damn few of anybody that can be described as being "pro-meth".

You live your life with a deep-seated fear that somebody,somewhere is making their own decisions and enjoying themselves,don't you?

LOL come on save those for 2016.

Up your nose with a rubber hose.
At least he tried first.

Where did you copy and paste that from? Do you even know what it means?

Rats and Libertarians want all drugs legalized. You can address the stats provided, or you can run away muttering insults. I suspect it will be the latter. Again.

Because you are so profoundly wrong. I didn't say I agreed with the arguments. It sure read/sounded like it. I only said that they have become a socially approved established approach that will be utilized or transferred. Meth and speed freaks will NEVER be socially approved by anyone. Not even other drug users. Both are dangerous,and one is chemically psychotic,has feet and muscles,and dangerous to everyone,not just users. It really,REALLY pissed me off when idiots try to equate meth with marijuana. It's the equivalent of saying a firecracker and a hydrogen bomb are the same.

It sure read/sounded like it. That's not what it said. Please read exactly what it said instead of what you think it sounded like.
Well stated. I know lots of recreational pot users - good people, hard workers, etc. Meth heads I avoid to the best of my ability.
Anybody that isn't afraid of those psychotic SOB's either doesn't know anything about them and the mental effects of meth,or they are insane themselves. I like to think that I don't scare easily,but you will never catch me turning my back to one of them,or even letting one get close to me. The best thing that can be said about them is they aren't contagious. Other than that,I put them in the same category as rabid dogs. BTW,to any of you that don't know,if you are ever in a position to defend yourself against a speed freak,don't plan on going easy on them at first and then escalating if it starts to get out of hand. It's easy to think that because they almost always look weak. They ain't. It is almost impossible to knock one out,or even hurt him enough he will notice the pain. You MUST do some serious damage right away. Take out a kneecap or hit them in the throat and take out their wind. That way you can get away without having to kill them.

I was on vacation a couple of years ago. I was talking to a guy on the street who sold time shares. No I don't want a time share. Something that he said stuck with me. He said he would rather hire a crack head then a drunk. He said a drunk can come and earn a few bucks then he has some money to spend. It takes just a little money and he can be out of it for a long time. He said a crack head is better to hire because they need to make more money to get their high, so they will work harder. I don't know why he told me this he just did.
The crack and meth heads I hear about seem to be mostly poor, unless they produce and distribute it. In general, they are considered to be thieves and untrustworthy...at least that is what I hear. Speaking of drunks, it's happy hour. Ta ta.
