RE: Steewith2ees.
haha nobody; certainly not I said anything about liking the US!..... Please read some of my posts if you want to read the room about how I feel about the country I was born in. I will repeat; it feels weird waking up every day knowing you are part of the 'evil empire' for lack of ambition to find a better term. I know the comparison to nazi germany is a complete american cliche'; but after you watch a cop haul off a loved one, grabbed out of the house with no warrant, arrest searrch or otherwise; no paperwork, no stated cause or reason...... after you stand in the doorway demanding to see a warrant for entry or arrest and they cannot even produce a reason but still push straight passed you and PHYSICALLY beat down a family member as they are confused saying rosaries....Well any illusion of freedom is shattered. Shattered! Also if I dissapear; please know that probably means I layed my life down for this cause.
Thank you for taking the time to kick out a bit of historical truth. I mean that sincerely.
Yea that oxycontin abundance in suburbia; that in time lead to 'fentoin' that killed MOST of my friends... I am hanging on and admittedly only alive because here in america we have a "green privelage" suboxone program. If you can afford like 600 USD or more for just the prescription, than another couple hundred USD to see the doc every month. 50 more for a counselour. and if you fail a drug-test, the penalty you ask? (how would I know id never do that...) another 50 dollars tacked on to your monthly bill and a harsh sentence....of words...that was smoothed over quickly. (don't price quote me anything lower ive been around long enough to know what I am paying for.)
"Just throw money at it till it goes away" is the core base of the US legal system. scratch. EVERY US SYSTEM. IMO of course. Before you get it twisted and think im a soft suburbanite know that I am one of those low income households. Well below the poverty line, which is a US based poverty line and not global line. I understand that too. I qualify for gov assistance but I don't personally like any interaction with the government.
I like the old old old school code of honor. "Any man that relies on or does business readily, trades information, helps any gov. institution etc is a bit weak and cowardly. You don't pay them anything it is counterproductive; well taxes if you dont like prison; if you can duck that where you live or your gov isnt directly against global interests, CONGRATS!. The Netherlands does not have clean hands either I will point out. Now I am a product of the US school system so bear with me if I stumble in llogic or historical context (our education is REDICOLOUSLY US-centric) but, well you know what your country has done better than me im sure; I will save it But I think you know my line of thinking in this regard.
I consider myself Irish by way of corktown US. The Irish are the team I am backing. 12 fishing boats UN-AIDED by the GOD DAMN UK (yea its kinda like that) just stopped russia from doing "rehearsal war practice" for the Ukraine war just off the SOUTHERN Irish coast.
I have been weak, there is no shame in taking the help you NEED it. Outside of any form of snitching which is just straight treasonous and unacceptable in for any organizatiion legit or otherwise. (corporate espionage is rampid! they go to country club jail tho.....$$$ member'.....When I caught a blade I let the gov foot the bill.....because, well if I didn't they would have taken my house. MANY TIMES I have been about one check away from losing everything. (by which I mean grab what you can haul out and protect while homeless in the winter, which for comparisons sake is considered similar if not slightly worse than Siberia (where I am). Tundra is a very real thing here.
Now that we understand eachother better I think we should be ok.
Thanks for taking time to document some truth.
