The article below is a summary of some of his work.

People with American passports?

Quote from bronks:


I've never known a pot smoker to be racist. He'll spark that fatty with Idi Amin if opportunity came along... and they'd enjoy it.

What? I've never known a pot smoker NOT to be racist. Any time you get a little bit of saliva on a joint, everyone will tell you not to "nigger lip" it. If you have ever smoked pot, you know you have heard that expression countless times.

If all political and ethnic group are eqally productive that would be fine. Till then some have to keep their standards or just become another Haiti .

The human race has always been in conflict and will always be in conflict. There is just no way around it. With the world population at 6 billion+ there is that much more conflict.
