What annoys you most about your culture?

The actual dealer usually doesn't get much for it at all, that explains why he works at burger king. He can't afford to not work at burger king. Don't you ever wonder why these guys don't seem to be rolling in money? It depends on how exactly they are doing it. If they are buying it from someone else then that is the guy that would be making the money probably. Usually even he isn't very well off either though.

he makes at least 200-500 dollars a day from dealing actually

[Facetious]

Are you saying weed should be legal? Because that would solve all of the problems you said it causes. The shit us rich kids get has NO trickle down to the ghetto. Can't grow it in the ghetto, and they don't sell it in the ghetto. If someone who has any experience with drugs in the ghetto (not just the ghetto) wants to set me straight, go ahead, but I'm pretty sure kind bud has its origins elsewhere.

Also, I have another question. I am definitely one of those people that drinks or smokes for every occasion. Practically everyone I meet drinks and smokes with a lot of their free time. The ones that don't are actually willing to come watch us drink and smoke. What do people who never drink and never smoke actually do on a Friday night? I would totally be against alcohol as a pastime if I could think of anything else to do socially but I seriously never have any ideas. Most anything I can think of would be A) just as much of a waste of time as drinking, B ) not nearly as fun as drinking and more importantly C) more fun to do while drinking.

Poker for punishment. That's what I'll be doing tonight with my roommates and some friends ... plus food of course. I think we might be doing wall sits or running up flights of stairs (44 story apartment) ... first out gets harshest punishment and only the winner gets no punishment. Fun stuff.

Pick-up game of basketball some times when we get 10+ ppl together (mostly the grad students at Northwestern).

[genocidal]

I get drunk almost every day because I'd rather be intoxicated than sober.

Yeah I mean I do those things (only I play poker for money) but poker is more fun while drinking, and basketball isn't really something people do on a Friday or Saturday night, is it?

Why does he work at Burger King then? He has to get it from somewhere. If you "make" (is this net profit, Mr. Scientist? companies have went bankrupt while "making" billions of dollars) even just $200 a day (the absolute lowest of your range) that translates into $73,000 annual income. Why would he work at Burger King where he earns probably another $12,000 or so annually?

By the way $500 a day translates into an annual income of $182,000. I don't have to tell you the kind of lifestyle that affords. Definately not the type that requires working at Burger King.

I've known drug dealers. I don't do drugs, but they are very common as a result I've encountered them. I know one who deals right now. He lives with his parents. Why would he do that if he was making enough in one day to pay rent? What prevents you from analyzing these facts?

Are you talking to me? Can you say this again more coherently? I honestly don't understand your point. "The shit us rich kids get has NO trickle down to the ghetto. Can't grow it in the ghetto, and they don't sell it in the ghetto."

You're trying to say that the money you spend doesn't go to the "ghetto"? I was arguing the same thing. I suggest that weed purchased in the "ghetto" is purchased by other people who live in the "ghetto" from people who also live in the "ghetto".

"Can't grow it in the ghetto, and they don't sell it in the ghetto"? Who is they? The people you buy from? I'm sure someone can grow or produce drugs in the "ghetto"? Why not? Lots of people do. Meth labs are in the "ghetto" too.

Were you high when you wrote your fucking post? I can't even tell if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing. Either way your incoherence is annoying.

Am I saying weed should be legal? Not exactly. But I did both imply and explicitly say that I do not think possession or even the use of drugs should result in criminal convictions nor I will say now even fines.

Also, I have another question. I am definitely one of those people that drinks or smokes for every occasion. Practically everyone I meet drinks and smokes with a lot of their free time.

I would suggest that is "stupid". The bold part is actually a point I made earlier. That's your problem you can't think of anything else to do possibly because you smoke and drink too often. Almost everyone drinks on occasion (1 or 2 drinks). I think a majority of people drink only a little and rarely if ever smoke and they manage to find stuff to do. Sports, shopping, movies, sexual intercourse (which I do endorse though dressing like a total whore is a little excessive), reading and so on.

I don't drink or smoke. I have nothing against drinking though, I just don't like alcohol (seriously, even if there is food with just 0.01% alcohol in it, I taste it). So I have nothing against hanging around with people that drink. I do have something against smoking though, I don't like it, I don't like the smell, and I don't like the possibility of it giving me a higher chance of cancer. But I won't go out of my way to avoid places where people smoke, nor really say anything about it. (Except in my car or house, no smoking in my car or house).

Anyway, I don't really like bars/disco's etc. So I don't really go out on Fridays and Saturdays in the traditional sense. But me and my buddies often go bowling, or shooting pool, or to the movies, or poker, or just go to someone's place and watch a movie there, play some game or anything like that. I like being busy, active. So that is what I usually do on Fridays and Saturdays. Though not every week, so I am also just home at times.

[gran guerrero]

that's the problem of it all though, he doesn't have to work at a BK or gamestop, I don't know why he does, he's rollin in dough and I seen it.

My guess is that its easier for him to sell it there, being that he's got a place anyone can know about to find him in, and also to waste time (I mean he doesnt go to school, and hes got so much money he doesnt really have to earn a hard working job)

also another thing that annoys me about my society/culture

sober people

honestly, you fuks need to stop acting like you know what it means to be high or drunk, or boasting about some story or another that you never did.

When I was sober I use to mess with high people cause I thought it was funny and they would think it was funny too

BUT ITS WRONG

I never find it funny when a sober person tries acting stupid cause im intoxicated no matter what it is, i find it down right annoying.

And another thing, fuck this shit sober people got against not trying shit cause they are expected by a brainwashed society/religion that these things are bad.

weed smoking is not bad, it is only deemed bad by the govt because of racism, blackies/mexi's did it, and once whiteys did it, their parents are like nooo dont do that, thats a colored thing to do. so hence forth illegal. fuck this world we live in.

I've bought weed in the poor part of Seattle, and let me say that the shit I get here in this moderately large suburban city is way better. Weed in the ghetto sucks...In fact half the time you're either getting undercut or you're being sold shit that isn't even weed.

And Face, my friends and I have the same problem. When we have no homework, and a ton of free time, it always comes back to drinking and smoking. Mind you, I usually work out during the days (I actually just got back), and after dinner, there's literally nothing to do but get intoxicated.

Now tell me your goddamned Major!

[Cops]

There's nothing wrong with drinking or smoking weed unless you have to do it, once it becomes a mandatory act in your life then your priorities are a bit fucked in my opinion. Personally, when I was 16-17 I dropped out and smoked a half quarter a day and virtually had no ambition to do anything. I was bored, and weed helped me keep my life in one spot, not to say that a person that leads an "ordinary" life will have problems incorporating this activity into their weekly routine but for me I got burned out and recklessly bored.

I think there's tons of things to do, I love to drink, more importantly I love to drink beer but summertime is here and the living is easy! Here's some things don't HAVE TO include drinking. But drinking while camping is pretty much expected.

- Camping, it's cheap and affordable
- Going to a local show, who cares if the band sucks, it usually cost like 3 bucks for a punk show
- Playing recreation Hockey, I play hockey once a week, it's usually stick and puck but hell of a lot of fun
- Go see a movie
- Go for a walk around a lake or park
- Hitting up an arcade or playing some 4 player super smash bros
- Picking up an instrument, if your friends play jamming is fucking awesome
- Getting free samples from a place that usually has A LOT OF FREE SAMPLES. GOT TO LOVE COSTCO
- seeing a play, you can call me a faggot all you want but theater is amazing
- Going downtown, there's always something
- shopping cart fights
- dressing up like pirates in shopping carts while scaring people

[MirrorriM]

Wow no offense but it's hard for me to comprehend someone believing there is nothing better to do with free time than smoke/drink. There are movies, bowling, places like Boomers (mini golf, go karts, video games, the like), Dave & Buster's (more adult kinds of video games-and hey you could get drunk while playing too), the beach (at least for me), paintball, laser tag, hikes, poker, LAN parties (could get drunk here too). I tried to include some variety and even some where alcohol could be involved too, but not necessarily the sole purpose of the activity. Drinking games are fun, but there is much more you can do!

The whole pretending to be trashed while sober thing annoys me too.

paint ball is fucking awesome. My friends are seeing a friends play, but I'm stuck at home since I'm broke and need to be up tomorrow at 6 am. I'm thinking of playing some World of Warcraft or finish reading the sixth Harry Potter book.

[Liquid Blue]

The problem, at least in the area that Face and I live in, is the cost to do shit.
Over the past 3-5 years my friends and I have tried out pretty much everything there is to do around here, and to do it repeatedly or a bunch of different things every weekend is expensive as shit. Lemme break it down for you

Clubs- 10-20 bucks depending on who you know, if you're cool with people you can get in free. Lets not forget the "parking fee" (wink wink) that is a couple of bucks to the shady guy on the road, telling everyone where to park and that he'll take care of their cars. Might be a DC-specific addition.

Bowling- like 4 bucks for shoes, 8 or 10 bucks for a singlegame IIRC- easily $14 bucks for about 30 mins of activity

Laser Tag- 7-9 dollars per game (15 mins), $14 bucks for "Ironman" matches which are 30 mins, only held 2-3 times a day <_<

Music Show- However much it is for the tickets, sometimes $10-20 bucks

Put-Put Golf- 11 bucks for a game (length depends on how fast you and your buddies get through)

Restaurants/IHOP- Lowest you're going to spend is like 8-9 bucks, and that's if you get a fucking order of fries and a water. Looking at usually $15-19 bucks here.

Movie- $9.50 (nighttime prices, I'm going by Friday/Saturday nights here)

Video Rental- $5-6 bucks

--

I can't dance in clubs for more than 2 hours, after than the loud music gets to my head and I hate the tools that end up just staring at the girls blocking the dance floor. Not to mention it takes me about 45 mins to an hour to get to the usual clubs I go to, so I don't club as often as I used to.

Bowling is nice but I really don't like spending almost 20 bucks for 30 minutes of fun, same with the laser tag. Golf is good in moderation, but we'll go do one of these things, and then realize it's only fucking 9:30 or something. That's why movies are good because you spend about an hour and a half, two hours there but we usually go to a restaurant or IHOP after, which means you still end up spending around 20 bucks for one night. Thank god my friend has a pool table in his basement otherwise we'd waste even more money over at a pool hall.

Videos are cool too, cheapest by far as well. There are different things to do around here, but if you're a college student that has to pay for insurance/bills/tuition/food/gas/whatever, it's just really fucking expensive. Shit this is just an expensive place to live.

All it boils down to is spending time with your friends. That's all we're really doing anyway, looking for something to do that's relaxing/fun/exciting- something that we can do with our buddies. When my friends and I do drink, we play poker, pool or put in Fight Night or whatever video game and just shoot the shit. It's just doing whatever you guys enjoy when you have the time to relax, some people do it in different ways that's all.

[Izor]

rofl..bowling does NOT cost 8$ a game. Its more like 3-4 some places even have dollar nights. Renting is usually like 14 bucks an HOUR, which you split between all the people on the lane. Also miniature golf isnt 11$ a game :/ It's like 6 everywhere I've gone.

Laser tag is fun but you gotta play against a bunch of little kids which really isnt that exciting..theres usually like 12 people my age, 5 adults, and 20 some kids running around per game here (7.50)

Movies - download :/
