I have been in a voting comission a month ago in my country.

They call it democratic, what a horrible experience. 35% atenndance, my wild guess is that like 5% of it were highschools students like me who voted faggots because they didn't want to take the new sort of EU graduation exams and the rest were all the people of age 40+ who voted the same party they always do. In this I have learned that the way you lead your voting campaign doesn't matter for shit because things used to be really shitty, now they are only rather shitty and nobody wants that to change.

Well, in my country is mafian capitalism, apparently you can either vote right wing old mafiosos, left wing old mafiosos, lolcommunists, middle young new wawe mafiosos, barely 5% parties which don't know what the fuck do they even want to do in politics or parties nobody will vote because nobody knows they even exist.

I've never even heard someone say that we're not evolving UNLESS they didn't believe in evolution to begin with. If you are fine with it then no one should be surprised that yes, we're still evolving, as is every fucking other species.

Republicans are fine with letting capitalism run out of control on shit like insurance and lending, outsourcing millions of jobs (>42,000 factories in the US closed down during the whole of the Bush years) etc, and yet they somehow still think that the fatcats they vote into office are on "their" side. They vote against their best interests; it's fucking unbelievable. Shit like the Bush Tax Cuts is all they need to be A-OK with the GOP running things, sure, you get to save a few thousand dollars a year at the cost of, I dunno, paying a few thousand more on health insurance than you should and quite possibly at the cost of your job too if you're the typical low-skill labor yokel who gets his job outsourced to China.

Don't forget that Bush tax cuts = a very small bonus for individuals, at the cost of raising up a record deficit that looms over our heads like a loaded gun with China at the trigger. If the Bush cuts were completely repealed our debt would be gone, GONE, in about a decade.

Also trickle-down economics lol, failed every fucking time the GOP tries it. If there were such a thing as thought-crimes it should be a crime to suggest that such a policy is effective. Give the richest 1 or 2% of the populace everything they want, and assume that it will somehow help everyone else, that people will always invest in growing their company (in China or India that is) instead of buying a new yacht or saving it.

Moderate republicans too often are fucking morons who don't actually analyze things in a real-world context. Tea partiers should be dragged out in the backyard and put down. Just carpet bomb every NASCAR raceway and church that should take care of most of them.

If you smoke in the presence of others, you are a jerk, be it marijuana or tobacco.

If you take a hit before driving somewhere and get arrested, and get other people involved or make them bail you out multiple times without changing your ways, you are a jerk. (I stopped bailing him out after the 3rd time)

If you have loud and unintelligible stoner conversations until 4 AM while other people are trying to sleep, you are a jerk.

If you eat the food I bought and spent hours making because you get a sudden case of the munchies and can't ass yourself to get your own food, you are a jerk.

If you use my stuff without asking and leave a mess or break my shit while high, you are a jerk.

If you are too high to show me the slightest bit of respect while you are a jerk.

If you are too high to make judgments, and you fucking impose on others, show no self restraint, and cause other people problems in general, you are a jerk.

Mind you, alcoholics are often jerks too. But they don't tend to be as bad as stoners. They also don't have a gay stoner culture.

The point is, from the stoners I've met, and the drunks I've met, the drunks have always shown to be more problematic than the stoners.
