<p>By drugs, I obv. don't count prescription drugs; I mean the stuff which 17 year olds think is cool (crack, meth, etc) and regret after they're rushed to the ER at age 24.</p>
<p>Nuclear weapons: Yes, I agree with the entire Japan/WW II issue. But come on America, 5500 warheads? Seriously?</p>
<p>It’s interesting that it’s the amount and not the principle that bothers you (in regards to Japan/WW II).</p>
<p>Drugs…let’s just speak in hard drugs terms so we don’t get into a marijuana debate for the 2903821083901238901238 time. What I don’t understand is when people who have…little problems (I mean, you know what I mean…I am one of those people, I can’t lie and say I’ve had something even CLOSE to a hard life)…do hard drugs…when they aren’t using it as escape, but just to do. It ****es me off. </p>
<p>I do understand (in a way…I mean obviously I’m not in their shoes), when people who have problems or WHO GREW UP IN THAT ENVIRONMENT do it. It’s unfortunate though.</p>
<p>I think we used the nukes because after going through burma and suicide bomber planes the US realized “HOLY CRAP THESE JAPS ARE FREAKIN’ NUTS! There’s no way we can keep doing this and win without losing ton of our guys, they don’t surrender, they just keeping running at us even if they’re on fire and losing! Besides we’re losing time, got to go help the allies…”
So they just threw a nuke at 'em to save time and american lives. And…laziness. And…c’mon, we had to really test that baby…and one isn’t enough.</p>
<p>Drugs, well, you’d have to try 'em to really get that. And I don’t recommend that.</p>
<p>I disagree. Drugs are an escape for most people that do them. For them, it is just as natural for them to drink and do drugs (modeling off their parent’s and siblings’ behavior) as it is for you NOT to do them.</p>
<p>Also, nukes- well, we all know that America has self-esteem problems. Therefore, it needs to bully everyone else to make itself feel better.</p>
<p>No, there are definitely people who do it not as an escape. Or it least not a direct escape. I guess I just have a lot more sympathy for people’s whose environment pushes them in that direction that for people who just, sort of, do it…</p>
<p>Right… I didn’t say that EVERYONE did it as an escape. Obviously, there will always be people who do it to do it. However, most people that do it don’t just wake up one day and decide that meth seems like a good start to the week.</p>
<p>I was alone, I took a ride
I didn’t know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there
Ooo, then I suddenly see you
Ooo, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

<p>Obviousl I don’t mean it like that either! I’m not saying people just get up and are like METH FOR ME TODAY! But I am just more able to comprehend people who are in poverty, or orphaned, or <em>something</em> that do it, rather than ppl I go to school with (more privileged ppl, who can have their own problems of course, but who for the most part are fortunate). Obviously I can never know what’s going on in people’s minds, but this is just the way I feel…if it makes any sense</p>
<p>nukes are insurance policies. if russia sends a nuclear bomb to D.C. we can immediately counter with a nuclear bomb to Moscow. no country would ever think to nuke another country with nuclear power. that’s why north korea wanted nukes. so we cant invade their asses and shoot the Beloved Ones face off. </p>
<p>and about the drugs. you probably never did drugs. you will know why when you smoke a blunt.</p>
<p>Why do we have so many nukes? The same reason people have had any weapons throughout history: Because the side that can kill more of the other side faster makes the rules. And if you don’t invent the next generation of weaponry, the other guy will. And if he does, you’re smoked. If you are the “Good Guys” then you’ll use your power only in self-defense… Not that that happens very often.</p>
