That shit is valid in my opinion. Sure, he has a brotherly compassion for the subjects, but this just means that he actually cares about what he is writing. This point is something that deserves a little interrogation. Drugs are a staple in our scrambled culture, and we should at least try and ask why before guzzling them, otherwise what's the point of the search for truth that is the so called motive for our indulgence? And what is up Dot. It is so easy to criticise like you do, and 'it's boring' is probably the most brain-dead comment I have ever heard. But it also gives us a little insight into your thinking, your self-conscious too-cool-for-thought blanket statements that show even while actively seeking out entertainment, you cannot break away from your own inability to read meaning into anything. Have you ever written anything Dot? Or even tried to ask someone to publish it? I think you should try it. Give something to Andy and co and let's all have a read. Then we'll vote. Keep it up Joeg.

Way to insight, bro. See you in the acute psychiatric ward at King Edward VIII. Durban kids need to learn to drug properly, of all these little children, not a single one was on LSD. fags. well done to Daze for taking antipsychotics and recreational drugs together.
