There'd be a lot fewer minorities if that was the case.

Quite handy that you're using your real name, real company and real account to post such an insane comment. Now we can all know who to avoid.

Are you sure it's meant as a serious statement? I took it as an observation on the sad state of the world we live in (i.e. the general apathy of people toward those unlike themselves).

Heroin, coke, and alcohol. Quickest way to overdose, even if it is fun... RIP mate, we'll miss you. My worst OD was with that mixture as well, only I was lucky enough to have people with me and live in a country where calling the emergency services doesn't end with police at your door for overdoses. Narcan in the back of the ambulance brought me back. I got clean a month later, and am still clean 20 months later. Som…

You might want to fix the footnote when you're less high...

Can we please give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he intended to note that society doesn't allocate opportunity evenly across all demographics, even though it should. Don't vote the comment up though - let it fall peacefully to the bottom of the pile where it belongs.

Agreed. I think his comment is being taken way out of context. Drop the pitchfork guys.

Legal opiates are now the biggest killer of addicts, according to at least one new study: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/vicodin-oxycontin-drug-deaths-vos-l...

In the area I live in oxycontin could be considered an epidemic at times.

(Hate to be that guy, but:) Not ‘legal’, but licensed opiates that are abused, beyond or outside of a prescription — and as such can often fall under the law. Some of those can have the appearance of licensed drugs but be imported without control or be replicas. I’d talk about “opiates under their licensed forms”.

My Dad once said, the world would be a better place if drugs and alcohol only killed people we didn't care about. Sadly the world is not like that.

There'd be a lot fewer minorities if that was the case.

your comment is probably just really shittily delivered wry commentary on the justice system, but...

logically, this doesn't follow. drugs already kill the people you don't care about (in your case, minorities, although i suspect you really mean hispanics and blacks, not "minorities").

the statement was about excepting the ones you DO care about (white people, in your case). so there would just be more white people, but no less "minorities".
