Who pays depends on the costs. The costs associated with medical is passed on to all of us in the form pf higher insuance premuiums. Not to mention that ER cases tie up resources and services that will be less available to other cases. Lowered productivity costs businesses and of course they pass those costs onto us. It contributes to higher taxes for revenues necessary to deal with the consequences of substance abuse. That's just off the top of my head.
The fact that we all pay higher premiums due to drug use is partly due to drug use being illegal. Insurance companies will charge selectively higher premiums for cigarette usage, so cigarette use doesn't make everyone's premiums go up, just smokers. They could do the same with marijuana use if marijuana use was something people would readily admit, as it is illegal it is something that they cannot rely on people to accurately self report.
People actually admit to smoking on insurance forms?? Holy fuck, I figured they just put that there for a joke

I actually tried this, but my thumb slipped and accidentally activated FaceTime, and it was like fucking myself. Sure, I came almost instantly, BUT AT WHAT COST?

You had me worried there, with all that - tried rewriting half a dozen times thing - happy to report the worry is gone.

Awesome! The devil, to me, is a different voice but the one you're talking about I know only too well.

« on: Today at 05:27:51 pm »I should note at this point via t because i know a lot of your legal names at this point i think of you in those terms. Notable exceptions are nigel phox cainad eve and dimo. Dimo because he insists on it phox nigel cainad and eve because those are great names.
I respond to "Nigel" just as well as I respond to my legal name.
This, at times, creates amusing situations that confuse everyone.
Your real name is one of the most awesome names in the history of nomenclature. I feel sorry for it, since I can't think of you as anything other than nigel

My real name is Ross which, to be perfectly honest, I've never really liked the sound of very much. Some people call me Roscoe which is a bit better but I'd feel like a muppet introducing myself to someone as that. Other than that, I've just always been one of those poor bastards who doesn't get called Snake

« on: Today at 11:39:24 am »And yet you've been here for 170 pages.
FTR the Godwin thing is probably the saddest thing you've posted. I mean stella's squicky stuff is pretty sad too, but I've never really had much respect for her, you I did.
As I've said before I'm not here trying to convince you of anything. I'm strengthening my arguments and, in doing so, I'm analysing my own opinion and subjecting it to scrutiny to see how it holds up. You don't amuse me, you make me stronger.
You don't throw punches at a wing chun dummy because you wish to earn it's respect

FTR those last two youtube clips amused me more than pretty much everything you've posted in the last two years put together

I always wanted an awesome cool nickname but never got given one. I think thats the key - being given one. If someone introduces themselves to me as "snake" I'll immediately think "dickead" If, otoh, he's introduced to me as "this is my buddy snake" I'm more likely to think "cool nickname, wonder how he got it"
Then it turns out he got it cos he insisted everyone call him that or he'd throw a hissy fit and it's back to dickhead

« on: Today at 10:19:34 am »Oh wow! Did you really just go Godwin ITT?
Holy fuck, an informed observation. Never thought you had it in you
In my defense, it's kinda hard to avoid Godwin when someone is advocating a ban on democracy just because public opinion doesn't gel with their ideology

« on: Today at 09:36:50 am »And because there's a perverse pleasure to be derived from watching someone slowly unravel when that person is in a position to actively support policies that make the world a worse place.
I don't think he's unraveling, he really does buy his own BS.
But that IS the part that keeps me from running screaming from this giant sludge pit of fecal matter contained in this thread. Even though I'm getting an image of the shit-foam that's starting to be a hazard at hog factory farms.
(yeah, that stuff, it apparently causes shitsplosions)
It's not just the believing of his own foamy shit, but that he has the ability to help keep things in the current, fucked-up fashion that they are.
...Also finding it interesting that what he did was to argue against putting drug legalization to a popular vote.
Apparently the citizenry of Maine can't be trusted to vote for what's in their own best interest.
This. As far as I'm concerned the guy has every right to be a fucking idiot. Intelligence aint everyone's cup of tea. A nazi idiot? Okay, just don't ask me to piss on him if he happens to catch fire. A nazi idiot, with the authority (however miniscule and self inflated) to fuck up peoples lives? Okay, now he's crossed the line into - I'd be happy to see the snivelling little prick destroyed - territory.
