1) the people hucking the drugs aren't white
2) the drug war is a failure and has done nothing to reduce drug abuse


Why do statistics say that white drug users are less likely than non-white drug users to be arrested and sent to jail then?

It wouldn’t be this timeline’s style of anime, though. So I consider it an absolute win.

That’s…not how I read it.

I mean, its how it comes out in the end though. Anime will always be around while drug users will most likely end up in mass graves if you took the "screw it all" approach to them. I mean it "worked wonders" for the early parts of the HIV/AIDs crisis in the 80s, and you can look at the San Francisco Gay Men's choir survivors to see what I mean.

Exactly. Hence why annexation would’ve been a good thing. No anime, just wholesome western-style animation. That’s a nice timeline, no?

The Simpsons and South Park are by no means wholesome.

Because they're less likely to commit other crimes that would get them arrested and get a drug charge tacked on.

South Park is merely a reaction to the FCC though? Hell in the very first seasons the FCC got annoyed that south park kept violating the limits on curse words per episode to the point it became a meme.

The Simpsons were good social commentary.

The Simpsons should just fucking end already, and South Park is crude humor and libertarian politics. On behalf of my countrymen, I apologize for said abominations of “culture”.

You're not wrong, although that's not what I meant. I don't mind drug users who sniff and inject in the privacy of their own home or coke den. I have a problem with smackheads who walk around high and act obnoxiously, even illegally, to get drug money. Weebs and anime fans are obnoxious by default. Nothing quite like seeing a grown man with a waifu pillow walking down the street.

McDonald's, the premier resistance to the ever-growing influence of Walmart Land...well who am I kidding that would be Chick-Fil-A.

This is arguably good game. You don't want a woman who's too high maintenance unless she's worth it in other ways. The type of women men want are those that can be a good wife, those that can clean, cook, be a good mother. Many women nowadays, aren't cut out for that. The type of man a woman wants is a man who carries himself well, has his shit together, has a good job, is a good provider, and keeps his woman on the straight and narrow.

Neither is Shakespeare. Which is full of sex jokes and fart jokes.
Shakespeare was the South Park of the 1500s.

Well, most of the shakespeare plays since its audience would likely fling feces, and rotten food on you to the point many Londoners referred to those closest to the stage as "groundlings". As much as Elizabeth liked him she wouldn't have been caught dead going to the Globe.
