Imperialism and illicit drugs commonly go together. However, with Taliban opium eradication efforts in full effect, heroin is in short supply, and experts fear that a new fentanyl crisis could be brewing in the US.

    your hurt feelings don’t make much of an argument.

      Who said I was arguing with you, dipshit? What would the point of that be? I’ve seen how you act. You ignore literally everything everyone says and post clippings from a high school textbook you clearly never read and don’t understand.

      And what the fuck would I be making an argument about in the first place? You aren’t talking about anything. Shame on my comrades for engaging with you for anything other than to bully your ass for being a blight on the conversation other people are having around you.

        you replied to my comment. are you lost? lol

        and your childish tantrums and name-calling don’t impress me, nor does your bullying. all it tells me is that you’re so afraid of losing an argument to a stranger on the internet, it drives you into a blind rage.

        that’s how much control you give to strangers because you have no control over yourself.

          Are you a fucking smurf? Do you have blue fucking skin?

          Do you read the completely different words ‘reply’ and ‘argue’ and just hear “smurf smurf smurf!” in your head? You understand different words convey different meanings, right?

              You said someone used a strawman argument when they said you didn’t pay attention to what they told you.

              Speaking of tantrums. Speaking of looking like a fool.

                  It does, the message simply went over your head because you don’t understand the concept of a strawman.

                  You may be shocked to find that those cool drawings you’ve been posting have words on them. Maybe you should learn to read too!

                I figured speaking to as if you were a teenager might bear more success in your understanding.

                clearly I aimed to high.

                  You indicated that you were not acting.

                  So I was making bad arguments. At least in your perception.

                  What topic were they on?
