- nkrisc 10y agoAh, but you see, when well-bred people take drugs it is merely a diversion. They are of too strong a constitution to succumb to the base desires and temptations of drug use as the people of no birth do.
- thaumasiotes 10y agoThe concept here is far from ridiculous; you see dramatically different responses to alcohol in Italians (thousands of years of cultural history with it) and native Americans (hundreds of years).
- nkrisc 10y agoThat is not at all what I am talking about, and you're completely ignoring the entirely different social circumstances of people who have their own nation versus those who've been essentially subjugated by another for the past few hundred years. I think the extreme poverty and destruction of culture at the hands of the US government has a lot more to do with issues of alcoholism in Native American communities than... whatever it is you're suggesting.

I was particularly fond of Lord Sewel's cocaine brag: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/watch-the-undercover-footage-that-allegedly-shows-labour-peer-lord-sewel-snorting-cocaine-with-two-10417927.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/watch-the-unde... Hypocrisy at its finest.
