If your going to accuse me of something I would make sure I did what you think.. Since it is "even more convincing," Im kinda reluctant to not be able to take credit for another posters ideas, as I think that was someone else.
"Just doing your job, since you are a moderator on the "recovery support" circuit. I am not doing anything new, obviously, by making it into a joke."
I'm afraid you will have to explain this to me pmose as it does not make a lick of sense to me. But if your ripping on the recovery sections here at Bluelight you have hit a new pathetic low. We most likely do more good in a day then you have manged to do your whole depressed life.
And pmose I dont ware breeches or tighty whitey either.. and its so cold around here It would be almost an impossibility, more likely than the current drug war having a positive result i give you, but pretty much impossible for me to get sand in my boxers, snow yes.. and no.
but getting back to the breeches..
yeah not my type of thing pmose
But the boots look kinda handy for all the bulshit that sometimes gets dropped around here.
Black markets are associated with violence. The reason behind this is the competition guaranteed by free market laws is not enforced. This causes turf wars where rival competitors create and protect the monopoly of their territory and wipe out competition so they can be the only vendor selling and thus become a monopoly in an area and able to then sell more quantity, lower quality, at a higher price and not sharing any of the customers with competition.
Black market vendors are also prized buy criminals looking to rip them off as they are afforded little or no protection or retribution for crimes committed against them. Since they are outside the law and the laws and law enforcement does not protect them they protect themselves. The also have their own violent disciplinary system for dealing with thieves and competition. This turns into a never ending stream of violence as one side hits the other and then that side hits back and then the other side hits back for that.. and so on and so forth.
its not the drugs Pmose.. its the prohibition and drug war coupled with demand that causes the violence.
I have heard it suggested that drugs creating a violent region in the black market many times and it is easy enough to consider the ins and outs of that and still manage to bring it back around to rap lyrics.
"All I do is get high, and think of fading you all"
Im just going to start quoting you all the time as you seem incapable of leaving your posts alone. This is after quite a few alterations so we will call this Pmose vs 3.5
EDIT: I think that the fact that Black culture often values the material bullshit that the illegal drug trade says it can provide is something that needs to be addressed by the black community to help themselves with this struggle.
