Yeah, and you know what else we need? Death panels.

I got as far as the assertion that marijuana distracts folks from "the highest pleasures, like enjoying the arts or being in nature."

I'd call that a fairly Modest Proposal.

No one else picked up on this as being satire, huh?

Nothing speaks to foolish ignorance quite like more of the same.

Healthy weight? Exactly WHAT is the UNIVERSAL healthy weight for any human being, indoctrinated morons?!

Are you somehow oblivious to the negative impact of gym boy culture - repetitive injuries, steroid damage, body dysmorphia, asshole behavior, and a fucking huge carbon footprint?

Rent boys and skinny, club kids aren't fat, but they aren't exactly healthy either.

Being big or fat doesn't automatically mean you're unhealthy. Being a beautiful, young model or ripped gym boy doesn't mean you're healthy and happy.

Oversimplification is for simpletons.

Satire requires intelligence, humor and talent. This rant may be sarcasm, but it's not wit or satire.

I am, #9. Because, obviously.

Also, ironically enough some studies have shown that moderate marijuana use actually lowers obesity rates.

Geez Louise, what's Kevin pissed off at now? Surely he knows what L., Marcus's sister does for a living. I swear if I hear one more fat joke, one more racists ambiguous slander or slight at users when the pharmaceutical companies deal legal form of just about every illicit substance known to man, and I'll tell that little overbloated ego, white upper class, sucking off the government teet punk ass bitch of a male journoterrorist where he can stick his ivy league opinion

@2: Oh yeah. Because you totally can't enjoy the arts, nature, and get high

AT THE SAME TIME! Ha HA!
