We're going down to Mexico soon for precription drugs, mostly all legit, for my parents and other relatives, some of whom are coming and paying. They have really great deals on certain things that older folks need. I tried to get some painkillers there last time, but it was all dodgy and they cost more than they do off Julio on the corner in San fransisco. Plus, you gotta have an American prescription to carry back across, unless you want to keister it.
Anyways, last time I brought some valium, (ooh, big time narcotics trafficer) back, my wife carried it where only a nasty midget could find it. I couldn't get anything else. I could have got some heroin, but that's probably a little hardcore for me nowadays, and the kind of people you have to deal with to get it, especially in Mexico, where they are killing ata pace that makes Chicago look safe, so that's out.
One time I scored abunch of propoxyphene ( a nice opiate substitue) in cancun and brought ti back. I even declared it at customs. i just told the guy, hey I got these pills, had a surfboard mishap. he said you gotta have a script to bring 'em in, but fuck it; go on.
That was back before I quit all the hardcore shit. I was scoring coke, grams of powder for 50, right on the beach. Everybody had it, the code words were motorcycle, heh heh. Cos they rented, 4x's, jetskis, parasails, etc., but no motorcycles. So anyway, I though it would be nice to score some junk to mellow out the coke, but when I asked for heroin, it was like they all freaked out, coke was cool, junk was not.
I guess all the college kids were hip to coke, but junk was for losers ( ironic, hipocritical) so they didn't offer it. Also, a nice $50 blowjob from a hot mexican babe was in order, too.
I was getting a divorce, what did she think I was gonna do, stay home and cry?
We got drunk and tore up the room, and they summoned the policia (after we bribed them not to) and we were informed we would not be leaving their beautiful country, senors, until we paid for all the damages, and a hefty fine as well. I was near broke from consumption of coke, beer, whores and pills, i thought I was history. My friend paid it, and we left. This trip will be a little more mellow. I am not alloweed to mess with whores, or cocaine for that matter. My new wife, god bless her, doesn't approve, heh heh. She's at least gonna bring me home some valium, tho.

Re: Mexican drug run
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 6:30 PMTruth be told, it would have been alot more fun without the hard drugs and excessive alcohol. If I could have had just a few drinks and maybe a toke or two, forgot about the coke, it would have been great. It was a resort where all the alcohol was free; I am an alcoholic, what was I to do, lol?
Skin diving on those beautiful reefs, hot topless women, and all I can think of is I can't wait until I can score another bag of coke, what a loser, lol. Next time I go on a real vacation to mexico, I'm gonna do a place that's a little slower, more for older people, and not the crowd that just wants to stay up all night and get shitfaced.
They even had a bar where you have to swim up to the counter to get a drink! And it was free! Well, all inclusive, food and alcohol. Coke and blowjobs were extra, snicker. -

Re: Mexican drug run
Wed, April 30, 2008 - 5:41 AMAll I could get was valium in algodones. Decent painkillers are not to be had, because they are manufactured in the US. They offered to sell my 10 mg vicodin for $13 each !! Fucking shysters! Anyways, you can buy tabs similar to Empirin # 3 or 4, but they want $90 for 30 pills! JFC! You can buy 50 of them for $50 here. Plus, they thought I was jonsing, so they offered to have a Dr write me a mexican prescription ( you don't NEED that, all you need is a fistfull of money). There's some junkies tripping around, I probably could have gotton ahold of some chiva, but I don't want to really go there.
Anyways, i just brought some valium back, they don't ash for a prescription, they even put it in another bottle for you and mislable it.
Algodones is kinda cool..... Mexicali is just a festering shithole. No wonder they are all clamoring to get across the fence. I would, too.
They don't have trashcan anywhere, people just throw garbage in the streets, there's no facilities to wash your hands after taking a dump in a "restaraunt", sewage rolling around, JFC.
We may have legitamate problems here, but folks, you ought to be glad you don't live in the third world. I been to the Philipines and korea, it's the same there, fucking livestock running through you living room, lol, cooking over dried turds, etc. It ain't so bad here, even with the man on your ass about drugs. -

Re: Mexican drug run
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 3:30 AMThat was the places rich enough to own chickens and goats. In somes places, that's how wealth is measured, jfc. OOhh look at the such- and -such family, got the new model of water buffalo, gotta get me one of those, lol
No disrespect to poor people, I'm one check away from the gutter myself.
I'm so glad now that they've ruined the economy, they are going to compensate me by giving me $1000. Too bad I gotta spend it all on bills that are past due cos of the ruined economy.
Still yet, I was at the job placement service the other day, coincidentally next to the food stamp office. So I says to myself, self, why let those lazy, sponging, no birth control using, gap tooth, inbred -baby breeding motherfuckers get all the benefits? So I go to get in line for food stamps, and what revelation did I have? In this Great United States ( insert derisive laugh here), and this is true, I swear to God, even our poor people are fucking fat. How rich does a country have to be, so even the poor people are fat? Half of all the people in there were at least 200 pounds, chugging sodas and eating big bags of carmel corn, the fat, poor fucks.They sure weren't in the line that I was in, the one WHERE YOU HAVE TO WORK.You'de never see that anywhere else.
You should not be able to purchase soda with food stamps. Or any food purchasd with stamps should be sprayed with birth control. If you can't feed your kids, why should you get more money cos you had another one, and you don't know which junkie was the dad?!!!
I'm on a roll this morning. &%&$#!!! -

Re: Mexican drug run
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 7:57 AMno offense but there is more to this than you see obviously - the american life span has dropped in certain econonomically depressed areas of the country, for instance. This is due in large part to the food "poor people" eat. This food is killing us more than anything. And the reasoon for this has to do with our economic system of free market capitolism. Corporations make a lot more profit selling processed foods. The best indicator of success in our system is the socioeconomic status of ones parents. So much of this that you speak of has to do with the commodification of our modern world. Why is it that everything must be for profit? Love, medicine, food, shelter - why? Why is it that the fility rich are buying third homes in Montana costing a million dollars while so many go without even a small apartment to live in? Why must fifty million americans be without health insurance? Why do we have the most people in jail per capita than any country in the word? Why are paramilitary units being spread across the country into areas where any fool can see there is no threat of terrorism? Why do we have a military presence in 180 countries around the world? And mostly, why do we the people tolerate all this? I think that we have been fooled, simply. The corporations who represent the controlling, wealthy elite are far smarter than us, far more sophisticated, far more organised and evidently far more motivated. We are feeling the slow, firm crush a fascist hand squeezing the sweet magic of freedom out of us.
And why do the Mexicans live like that while we live like this only a few miles away? They do because of the same free market corporate fascist system that has existed for so long exploiting third world countries through collusion with their wealthy elite at the expense of their massess. I tell you truly that I think it is an evil in us, plain and simple: evil. It is an evil that allows us to look down at other people whether they are in Mexico or bums outside Walmart and think, "get a job!" dismissing them as if they were not really human like we are - well guess what, that's exactly how the wealthy elite see us - you and I - "hey, if they want health insurence why don't they just get a job, those people" And this mentally has become quite the rage now, that anyone who is sick is sick because of their own fault so that they can be utterly and completely dismissed. Compassion is for bleeding heart liberal suckers. If someone is out of work, hey - it's their own fault, they made bad decisions, etcetera. I feel like sometimes I'm in a world mostly populated by brain washed zombies who will believe any nonsense that this system pours into them! -

Re: Mexican drug run
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 4:11 PMHaving a job anymore doesn't usually get you health insurance. My wife and I worked full time, until she was injured, and needed back surgury. We still could not afford the expenditure of company insurance for both of us ( so I insured her)- and the workman comp denied her rightful claim, leaving us thousands of dollars in the hole, with ruined credit. Then they canceled her health insurance that we paid through the nose for. Said she didn't meet the 32 hour/week requirement. Well, duh, she hurt herself at work. Now the lawyers are involved, just to make them do what was right and fair, it's gonna cost them many thousands more than if they would just have done what was right.
My wife will never be the same- and everyone's ducking responsibility.
However, when I became unemployed, we qualified for state insurance, free. Unfortunately for me, I like to be employed, so now that I am, i no longer have insurance-disqualified by not being a bum. If I wanted to stay home all day and smoke crack or do whatever, I could get it- but for the working man- I got nothing coming. Hope to God I don't get sick.
Where I work near laughlin, I have to drive up and down a 13 mile hill, rising thousands of feet through the desert, it's about an hour commute every day. A ways up the hill going home, in the heat, there was an old man dragging himself up the hill. He was stumbling, near exaustion. We stopped and gave him a ride into Kingman. He had been robbed by someone, and was trying to make his way to St Louis. We gave him a blanket, a water jug and some money, as much as we could give, be cause he was in need, and we were not.
No one here can say I don't care about my fellow man- who among you will pick up a stranger on the highway and give him money? Who among you will even stop?
It is true I have no patience for people with certain proclivities that cause themselves, and the rest of us harm. Even though I myself have had many of these afflictions.
I don't think I have been brainwashed. I guess most brainwashed people don't know it, though. This all assumes I have any brains left, lol? -

Re: Mexican drug run
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 10:08 AMThe sad truth is, food stamps intentionally pay for processed "food," which is always overburdened with sugar (high fructose corn syrup), extra fat and sodium, rather than nutrition.
They're eating Velveeta "cheese food product" out of necessity. And we're all paying for their medical bills, because of the crappy diet we're making them eat. They should be getting boxed food from a local food bank and spending their money on veggies and fruits. Honestly, though, if your choice is 3 apples or 5 cans of soda, what are you gonna buy for the 5 people in your family?
No one's really teaching shopping for the long term, but we always assume some of these folks will be off the food stamps next month. And none of our food companies – Kraft, Campbell's – are making their foods more nutritious specifically for food stampers.
Which is how you end up malnourished fat people.

Re: Mexican drug run
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 1:05 PMI certainly wasn't putting you down, Thanos - obviously you are not a zombie. But I think it is helpful to look at these things in the broadest possible way. The way you helped that guy out, that's the answer to bringing our society as a whole back into some kind of human centered form - making our society work again for us, rather than against us. When we can all feel whole and centered enough within ourselves - not afraid or defensive - then I think we would naturally create a society based upon humanity instead of commodity. Unfortunately, this is circular - harder for me to be compassionate toward my fellow man when I feel threatened, have no job, or no meaningful, good paying job, have to health insurance, have no real hope that my future will get better rather than worse. It is an unfortunate fact of human nature that when we are frightened, we are dangerous animals. I think a lot of Americans are far more frightened than they admit. I recall my fellow workers, who I knew for a long time, most of them, when someone we knew lost their job, they would all immediate start talking bad about the indivdual, blaming them for losing their job, etcetera. That showed me a lot. They were afraid for themselves and projected out onto these others by distancing themselves, feeling disdain instead of compassion. It took me a while to figure that out, for a long time just assuming that I worked with a bunch of insensitive assholes! -

Re: Mexican drug run
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 6:09 PMYeah, I'm on the verge of being frightened, certainly nervous. The wife is having serious problems again, and the lawyers are smelling blood. Sure a huge settlement would be nice, improbable anyway, but who would trade health for money? Shit, without your health, you got nothing.
I'm no saint, no Mother Teresa- I just picked that dude up on a whim. Normally I do not pick up hitchhikers. He was to tired to hitchike anyway. In my hurricane years, several people out of the blue helped me out, I was just returning the favor. Alot of times, I feel like just not giving a damn about certain people, and don't, so i'm no big time philanthropist. My giving has been limited to dropping off turkeys to the shelter on Thanksgiving. I used to do that with my 15 year-old stepson, who had taken up the idea ( as did I), that work and school was a drag, and smoking dope for a living was more fun. As we went to the shelter, I drove around the block a few times, pointing out the shitty existence these people had, most of whom brought it on themselves, hoping he would take note. Apparently he needed to learn that particular lesson firsthand, like me.
That's one thing I like about Star Trek, there is no longer the concept of money, but it was never explained how this came about, even on the version Star Trek : Enterprise.
I was thinking about starting a tribe called Utopia, where we could discuss what would it take to make this planet a perfect place. i just wouldn't want it to turn into another political tribe, where people just talk smack to each other, everybody insisting the others are such-and such.
Briefly, I think this world would be near perfect if
1) We get rid of religeon, all of them. Nothing starts a war like arguing over whos' God is the real one, and who'se going to hell and who is going to paradise.
2) Most of the people on this planet just need to, well, die. Unfortunately earth cannot sustain these numbers, even if we increase productivity and resource management. that's just a bandaid.
3) Technology must dramatically increase to the point we can have enough clean energy for all. Fusion, tidal harnesses, whatever.
Remember the old movie, Logans' Run? A person could live free of work and do whatever, sex, drugs, and so on, but at 30 years old, it's off to carousel, hahah. I beleive in the future, robotics will increase to free man of some drudgery, but if we keep on like we are, this planet will be ruined, everybody will be under somebody elses jackboot, slaves to the grind. -

Re: Mexican drug run
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 8:45 AMMy answer is a little bleaker than yours.
We need 0 technology, 0 people.
Plants and animals and fish can create their own utopia without there having to be a "dominant species." People will always instill warfare and create bigger and badder weapons with which to have their wars. Which will, in turn, always damage the plants and animals and fish for their own ends.
I tried thinking "humans at the simplest level," and everything just kept creating more and more fighting, warfare and technology.
The world would be better off without us. -
-
Re: Mexican drug run
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 8:55 AMThe World might be, but I'm not one who promotes the removal of all humans so the earth is better off. Why would I care what happens to the planet if there's no people? It might as well just fly into the sun. There's a billion other habitable planets out there somewhere, anyway.

Re: Mexican drug run
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 2:04 PMWe ought to just make some kind of agreement with all the countries on earth where there's a lottery and if you win, you lose, and must report to the thermal depolymerization tanks ( that's a real technology, they have a trial plant for turkey guts back east) where you are killed and turned into oil.
If Hitler had that technology, he could have made alot of oil out of 6 million people, kept fighting for awhile. We still would have won, cos he was hopped up in vitamultin (meth) and making crazy strategy decisions, lol.

Re: Mexican drug run
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 10:29 AMGot my new plan ready.
Let Florida fall into the ocean. Let California fall into the ocean. Let Mexico have Texas.
Everyone adopt Sweden's governmental style and politics. (From what I can tell, they're got the most sensible thing going on. We can tweak it where we to.)
Then we let the course of global warming, global cooling, and new Earth's axis go unchecked. No fighting it. No trying to save the people living in whatever unfortunate places catch the whole blunt force of the changeover.
Then we try to keep split into tribes that have little or no contact ever. No contact = no fighting. -
-
Re: Mexican drug run
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 3:22 PMYou're scaring me more than the government right now. First "kill all the people," and "don't go there, dude," about mentioning Hitler, without any apparent realization of the irony inherent, then screw California and Florida.
Then "no trying to save the... unfortunate."
Then "no contact" between who's left.

People = suffering
That's the bold, sad, sorry truth of it. People will always suffer as long as they're people. Because that's what we do and that's what we create. There is no reason to think humans are or ever will be capable of living together without fighting about something. Most of the problems people face in the world today are created entirely because people are fighting about something. (Warfare, competition – same game, different level of play.)
I thought long and hard about it. That's what I come up with. There's no such thing as Utopia with people in it. Plus, the state of Florida gets on my nerves, as does Texas. And California will likely be an island before any of this "plan" even starts to happen. I freely admit that.
So what's your big fancy plan that's so much better? -
-
Re: Mexican drug run
Thu, May 8, 2008 - 9:29 AMThe "people = suffering" "argument."
There is a film called Equilibrium, it never made it to the theater, but I thought it was better and more realistic than The Matrix:
In the first years of the 21st century, a third World War broke out. Those of us who survived knew mankind could never survive a fourth; that our own volatile natures could simply no longer be risked. So we have created a new arm of the law: The Grammaton Cleric, whose sole task it is to seek out and eradicate the true source of man's inhumanity to man - his ability to feel. .
A dose of the drug Prozium is required to be taken daily. Man has sacrificed the highs and lows of emotion for stability and replaced individuality with conformity. If anyone laughs or cries, skips their dose, or is found with banned material, they are to be killed. Sense offenders for a time were to be "processed," in other words given an interrogation before being incinerated, but the resistance in the Nether was growing too strong by weighing down Libria's system because of processing.
So the Father stated that sense offenders are now to be killed on sight.
As The head Cleric, John Preston, was about to kill his partner, Partridge, for sense offense, his partner said, "You always knew," and then read from a banned book of the poetry of Yeats,
"But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softy, because you tread on my dreams."
Partridge: I assume you dream, Preston.
John Preston: I'll do what I can to see they go easy on you.
Partridge: We both know they never "go easy".
John Preston: Then, I'm sorry.
Partridge: No, you're not. You don't even know the meaning. Its just a vestigial word for a feeling you've never felt.
Preston: There's no war, no murder.
Partridge: What is it you think we do?
Preston: No. You've been with me. You've seen how it can be. The jealousy, the rage.
Partridge: A heavy cost. I pay it gladly. -

Re: Mexican drug run
Thu, May 8, 2008 - 7:52 PMI saw that too, it was pretty cool. When I said most of the people on this planet need to die, I didn't actually mean we should set out immediately to make that happen! It's gonna happen sooner or later anyway, probably sooner rather than later. I give it 75 years, give or take 50. I do believe that if the Earth was about 6 billion people shorter than it is now, whomever remained would be better off than we are now. Assuming this event didn't involve mass quantities on nuclear weapons, lingering adverse biolological activity, or any Michael Jackson clones ,having taken up the Catholic priesthood.

Re: Mexican drug run
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 8:00 AMHonestly, I was a little belligerent yesterday. It happens sometimes.
I don't think I sounded like Hitler at any point in my argument. Mostly because I phrased things very specifically so that at no point was I EVER choosing the people who would die myself. And I even argued against having people decide which people would die. Let nature decide, that's the only natural way to do it. if we go out of our way to try to save all the people whom nature has decided to end, then people are deciding things again… and I don't see any good coming from that.
Also, let me be very specific in pointing this out: never, in any of my discussion, did I EVER say word 1 about saving myself, my family, my friends, my state, my country, my pets, my race, my car, etc. (Should be obviously different from Hitler here.)
If the Earth decides Chicago should be the new North Pole, by my own decree, I'm totally dead and no one should try to save me. End of story.
