I never listen to rap and hip hop. I can't understand what they're saying anyway, so the lyrics wouldn't affect me.

But regarding movies and TV, could you provide some examples of glorifying thug behavior? Or even define what you mean by thug behavior?

One thing that I see them glorifying lately is smoking. I don't get it; no one I know smokes cigarettes. I believe most Americans have gotten smart and given up tobacco. But lately, on TV and movies, the protagonists are always shown smoking. Why?

Tell that person who's on my ignore list that Walgreen's in San Francisco see an average of $25,000 in losses due to theft per store, per day. That's not overhyping anything. What it is, is unsustainable.

Lekri or whatever his name is made my ignore list because he's dishonest. He never, ever comments without either twisting something as to be unrecognizable or directly lying. Giving them attention only feeds their pathological ego.

Focus on rehabilitation, not punishment for non-violent crimes.

Terrible idea.

30 years ago i spent a few years in a medium security facility for forging an Rx, i can tell you that most are drug problem people...go to an AA meeting..same crowd..many people separate addiction as a separate issue..it is the one driving obsession...as if they were married to the drug....


so far their is no magic ticket to sobriety for myself i grew out of it in my 40s prohibition has given us fentanyl a lovely drug so potent a deadly dose is nearly invisible...we now see polite society seeing their own sons and daughters addicted to opiates and MAT or suboxone sobriety because this new drug is so deadly

It certainly looked like you complained about his performance i.e. what he did and said.

Trump has killed our economy and will go down as the worst president in history is complaining about his performance.

That last one I just threw in. Wow.
