Conflict bud

[Dr Kynes]

You guys are fucking hilarious, "conflict bud"...guess why there's a fucking conflict in Mexico over the weed in the first place?

Couldn't have anything to do with current drug policy in the US, no?

The stupidity demonstrated here sometimes truely boggles the mind.

even if we legalized weed tomorrow, mexican drugs gangs would still be fighting over who gets to sell their schwag to the safeway or the 7-11.

if theres a dime of profit to be made whether legal or illegal, the mexican cartels want that fucking dime, and will stab a dozen mexican peasants in the face to grab it.

the mexican cartels (and the columbians too) exist because THEIR weak and corrupt governments are weak and corrupt, not because some dumbass in carson city wants to roll a fatty.

Well, we do know that. That's why the OP called it conflict bud,. I thought.

Im not arguing over the situation but it's statistically proven that the redoubling of the "drug war" has massively increased the violence in Mexico, both from competition between cartels and from US pressure on Mexican authorities (with 2 marijuana legal US states, that's not ironic at all).

Given this, it's ridiculously LOL that an American would cry about "conflict bud" coming from the very same Mexico.

True, the drug laws in the U.S. do foster an environment that makes drug cartels profitable but when all is said an done, it is Mexico's problem that they can't maintain some modicum of safety for their citizens.

That's as a result of drug profits enabling massive corruption.

The US also has huge corruption, it's just vastly more subtle.

I can't argue with that.

I can't argue with that.

And further, Columbia is AWASH with drug dollars.

I wonder why the massive majority of their money is in USD?

And drugs making the money enables the corruption there.

Not saying I even necessarily care, I just think the irony of an American getting all "do-goodery" and crying over "conflict bud" coming from Mexico when it's that country's market that causes the "conflict" in the first place is a particularly delicious form of irony.

I don't really care either. Besides, it isn't like some colonial power is stealing their wealth. The same can be said for blood diamonds. Right or wrong those African nations have a war to fight and that takes money. But if people must moralize about where their weed comes from how about this: "Buy domestic, the dollars stay in the U.S. and help our own economy."

Yet without conflict bud, most would never get the chance to get stoned in the first place.

As I said about diamonds. We must study the inner nature of conflict, root to tip and understand it as best we can. We cannot be lazy. Maybe we want to support this War from our consumer side, till it splats like an egg. It is ugly thinking.

But, we can see from this forum, what passes for any political thinking these days.

And I mean it doesn't matter being able to express yourself, spell well, get mixed up or not that much...that still, we understand that ALL we are cleared for in a political sense, are lies after lies.... no truth, at all, for many years after the rewite of history by the victors.

Here, I hope we just want facts, to be actually informed. I scoff at opinions including my own. Facts in this world are hard to come by. They are rarely given straight up without spin.

So we have to dig. And what keeps me going is Bucky seems much less bored, so he doesn't picks the wings off you whinny flies so much.

Please bring references to these discussions. I don't believe anything anymore until I well triangulate. For example had I been more with it, I could have predicted the results of the last election. UB, early and often, did and never wavered.

So, bring beef. We are animals here.
