The drugs may be coming from south of the border, but to me the real problem is why is there so much DEMAND for them on this side of the border?  If we'd stop buying, maybe they'd stop selling.

Agree with the above
Interesting that the illegal drug argument places responsibility on the supply chain - yet the pro-gun argument places responsibility on the user & absolves the supply chain
Remember that guns don’t kill people ?  Well, the actual drugs don’t kill anyone either - until the morons take them
Americans are stupid - simple 
Next question would be why do Americans consume more drugs than anywhere else ?  What’s causing that ?  And it’s not the available supply.

@sync point is unavoidable! Our culture of violence is part of  the reason why our life expectancy is declining and it's not just about shooting but about constant fear and uncertainty, feelings that are clearly related to mental healthcare, etc. 

Obesity! 

 

 

and, of course the devil is in the details
see map showing highest per capita drug overdose deaths per capita
”border states” are not suffering highest rates of drug related deaths - so the unaffordable/affordable argument really doesn’t apply. They can afford the drugs in Texas but it’s not a thing

It’s more about states/regions where people are feeling despair, hopeless/helpless & looking for relief via drug use

Since the gun manufacturers have taken control of our society an increasing number of the U.S. population are expiring before their highschool or college graduations.

As per usual, correlation is not causation.  
The US also spends more on defense than the next 10 countries down the list, yet that doesn't truly make us any more safe.
Throwing gobs of money at a problem only works with some things: I wish I could say what the immediate solution to lower life expectancy is, but tbh, it's really a slurry of existing generational/systemic issues combined with a difficult healthcare system.

I don't mind when someone contacts me after I've looked at their profile. Although that ONLY happens with people I'm not interested in.

(As if this one wasn't bad enough...)
 

I used to feel this way, but ink has become so prevalent by now that my objections have pretty much evaporated. It's gotten to the point that on the rare occasion I see an un-inked  hunk, my first impression is that something seems off.  
PS This guy is gorgeous! 🙂
