Toaster strudel alliance takes on drugs, atheists and liberalism

[paulpablo]

All the ravers I know experiment with psychedelics, hallucinogens.

Meth and Coke are STIMULANTS.

Why would a scene defined by psychs and hallucinogens dive into powerful stimulants?

The classes of drugs, experiences don't match with the characteristics of the subcultures.

sorry but aren't stimulants the founding drugs of the rave scene?
ecstasy MDMA speed and so on, my friends who were the biggest ravers ever only took these drugs.
No one i ever knew took mushrooms weed or LSD at a rave, that was more for lounging around and relaxing.

If you can't enjoy life sober as much as you do on drugs, you have a drug problem. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say you have a life problem.

I need a 12 stepper/Nazi goose-stepping meme for this...

I wish you the best and I hope you don't die. A friend of mine just did, from heroin, not MDMA. I never thought I'd start doing heroin, but I did, and really, I got to the harder stuff though MDMA and the rave scene.

I'm glad to hear you're in a safer state of life. Seriously.

No, actually fuck you. YOU screwed up your life. You can't blame it on drugs YOU chose to take over and over.

This is what you call an atheist approach to ethics. I'm going to do whatever I want, and if it hurts other people, its their fault. Veganism?

Atheists are the leaders when it comes to love and compassion.

Theists are the leaders when it comes to stereotyping a whole demographic from one post that pisses them off. Oh, wait, damn! I can't pull it off with the sincere unawareness needed. My apologies to any theists who wouldn't do that.

One of the things that sucks about being African American is the notion that everything you do reflects on your whole race and if you aren't the most upstanding citizen, some cracker will use you as an example of 'what black people are like'.

Don't be that cracker.

Why do christians always group atheists together as though they are in some kind of club that worships the same book and has the same ideals?

Strange.

Maybe cause they hang out at forums that say atheist at the top?

Well, the ones that hang out at forums that say atheist at the top do. The other ones don't. There are what, 15-20 million atheists in the USA? Care to give an honest estimate of what percentage of those are members of websites that say 'atheist' at the top?

Face it, there aren't websites, books, etc. devoted to not collecting stamps.

There would be if people were interrupting other people's Saturday mornings to try to convince them to collect stamps or use tax money for stamp-based initiatives, or stamp-collecting was widely seen as a necessary component of patriotism, or if 40% of Americans wouldn't want their child to marry a non-stamp-collector or vote for a non-stamp-collector for president. There really would be.

So, does "cracker" mean like cracking a whip? Or does it mean white like a saltine?
Inquiring crackers wanna know...

Uh, you're supporting my point by emphasizing the differences between atheism and astampism. Thanks!

It has to do with cracking whips, not (as some might imagine) a slave driving whip, but a locating whip commonly used by swamp ranchers to keep into contact with each other (and keep their cattle inline) in dense and hostile terrain.
(though the term is even older yet having different meanings as you go through time..now it just means white like a saltine overall, yes. You might take it to mean someone with deep roots in Florida or Georgia's history....if you wanted to be a little more civilized about it)

To be pedantic, which I rarely shirk from, the term predates the era of white overseers and refers to poor white mule drivers, which the old South had an abundance of in colonial times. A lot of people do think it refers to the crack of the overseer's whip, and mean it that way when they say it. A lot of people mean 'pale like a saltine' when they say it, too. In that sense, I think it may be the one racially-based pejorative that can actually hurt a honkey's feelings, if they realize it doesn't necessarily mean a pale, salty wafer.

So why not just call a nigger a nigger and be done with it?
Why must you make it us/them and bring racism into it?
