Dont get your panties in a bunch over smuggling. Focus on the drug user!
Just say no!



I really have to agree with this one, except we are talking aggressive pushers going after the most susceptible youth, and we are talking 11-13 yr olds here. I don't think any of those middle school kids saw the long term consequences when they tried to show they were part of the "ïn" group.

Why should the kids not try drugs? They see their parents smoking dope, eating “edibles,” and drinking booze.
Monkey see, monkey do.




Woke!

I don't wear panties.

Posting intelligent rebuttals online is hardly a good way to change minds. Ever seen your parent's minds changed over a political discussion at Thanksgiving dinner? This is no different. I come here for Baja stuff, not abortion discussions.

Peace out.

I am currently house sitting for a homeowner in Todos Santos. He is also a Gringo with a lot of Mexico exposure, and has a love for Baja. We have had many discussions over the last month, by E-mail, phone, and three days in person.

I follow US politics, and I am concerned about what direction we take in the future. I suspect that the homeowner is as well, but it has nothing to do with our arrangement, so we have had no political discussions!




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

DK and JZ get their panties in a bunch (along with you) over politics.

Stop with politics (and religion) and it won't come up. Comments from the Republican Cult is plain wrong. What don't you get? Pass the word.

Intelligent rebuttals on this forum to politics? F'ing doubt it.




US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

I can assure you that kids don't go out and do fentanyl amd meth because their parents smoke pot. Pot's never been my thing, but I've been around dope smoking hippies for 50 years and none of their kids have ever done hard drugs.
