Ironic when you know that CIA smuggles most of the drugs


Seriously, I'm not joking. Read on the Internet. The whole US of A is one huge cruel joke. So this movie was kinda pointless. So, here's the situation the way I see it:

A natural plant - the coca plant is used to make white powder that makes rich USA yuppies (youth urban professionals lol) happy. Poor Colombians pick up the coca seeds and sell them cheap to the drug lords. Drug lords make cocaine and smuggle it into US of A. However if they don't pay the CIA, the CIA Lets the DEA, which is a tool to keep the competition aside, after them. USA yuppies spend their money on cocaine to make them feel full of energy and important so the next day they can go to work at the US banks, financial institutions and whatnot. The foulest of those financial institutions is the International Monetary Fund to which the country of Colombia pays 53 percent of its GDP. The entire Colombian GDP is $387.4 billion. Naturally, when more than half of the GDP goes to pay your debts and the other half is in the hands of the 20 percent of the population it's not surprising that the majority of the Colombians are dirt-poor. That's why some of them choose to be mules. They go to US of A and think,"wow what a great country" when in fact this same country is the reason they have 60 capsules of cocaine in their stomach and are in danger to die or go to prison. Ironic, isn't it?

Gee i didn't know America was full of rich yuppies!

Sorry to spoil your stupidity, but in America the top 1 percent make more than the remaining 99 percent. We are not all rich yuppies getting high on the white powder.

Maybe life would be better around the world if we stopped the drug war and made drugs a trade able commodity. Then countries like Columbia could supply the world with legal drugs for high profit. Never gonna happen sadly.

But he read it on the INTERNET so it MUST be true! (right?)

Yes, let's make drugs legal and watch everybody destroy themselves because it's suddenly 'okay'. Wake up! One of the reasons drugs are illegal is because of their highly addictive qualities.

Nice post. The OP is referring to the ruling and professional classes, not the majority of Americans.

The same poverty obviously exists in the slums of America, not to the same extent and scale as in Columbia.

Bauer vs. Bourne, that is the question.

Ya, because the only thing keeping kids from running out and trying herion is because it's illegal. Lol


Alcohol is currently legal and is by far 10x worse than weed.
