I don't believe they teach critical thinking in public schools anymore; if they did, more of these young folks would have the tools to smell bullshit and refuse to vote for it. There's another factor that may be in play, namely an undue emphasis on allowing ourselves to be defined by how much "stuff" we own, rather than what kind of human being do we want to be. That might be because "values" are too concentrated on "stuff", as opposed to values. Integrity, honor, the things that create self-worth are simply not being taught, and there's a price to be paid for that error. That said, my mind boggles as well - how on earth could this idiot have actually been elected ??? I know that societies rise, societies fade, but I'm not ready quite yet, dammittall. Apportioning blame is becoming well-nigh impossible in today's climate. Yes, education shares blame for some of the uneducated but, then we have "intelligent scholars" thinking the same way. This is also true for doctors, nurses, educators, parents, bankers & business tycoons (Musk 😭😭). How has education failed THEM??? Possessions?? I don't want a Ferrari (wouldn't fit) but I do want a car that is comfortable to drive, fits all 6'4" (NO not cock😳😵💫size) & is reliable. The same applies for my house, it's comfortable but certainly nothing that would even be allowed in Bel Air. People who visit keep saying that I "have too much stuff", MAYBE BUT, they are essentially trincates & books that I have collected over all my years of travel. Nothing is really of any value to anyone else because they ARE MY LIFES STORY & of the wonderful 44yrs (April 09) that I have shared with the most amazing person. We can find NO ANSWERS within these tales of failed logic & we therefore need to look at how we have failed our children since the 80's at least. I agree wholeheartedly that INTEGRITY, HONOUR, LOYALTY, SERVICE to family, community & country, DEDICATION, COMPASSION & PRIDE in self & COUNTRY are all character traits that seem to be devoid in our lives today. Education, possessions, wealth all become problematic when we FAIL TO INSTIL THE FINEST BUT MOST BASIC TENETS of human society into those who come after us.

Sorry about the customs issue. As far as what I think - only tried the standard one so far. I dig the medicine cap. effects are crazy strong, started drooling in second huff. That reaction normally takes a minute with others. Looking forward to playing with others with/on it

allrise Posted April 12 Report Posted April 12 Just went to store here in Scotland. Was told there will no longer be any poppers coming from the US, only what’s left on the shelf. Managed to get a couple bottle of double scorpio.

PozBearWI Posted April 13 Report Posted April 13 @hntnhole although it would appear that education has left off critical thinking as an objective. 1
