“It is to may amazement that someone who has all that money to buy anything they want will throw their money away on crap. I wonder how many in the entertainment industry are also throwing their money away on crap?”
It’s precisely because they CAN buy all the stuff they want that makes these people turn to dangerous pleasures. Eventually buying all the homes, cars, women, planes, etc that you want on a whim stops making you happy. They start chasing greater highs until the body can no longer handle it. If you’re rich, the dealers/pimps come to YOU and prey on your inner sadness.
They’re also constantly surrounded by people who will say or do anything to grab a piece of their pie. Spiritual happiness/love with a partner and true friendship becomes something that many of them can’t even understand.
I know some of the wealthiest people in the country and can say without a doubt that limitless money/time does not buy happiness. Human nature typically makes it the exact opposite.
Your insightful comments are spot on. I had a friend who mingled with the rich and famous years ago and I was told virtually the same thing. When you have all that money can buy, something happens in their mind that makes the normal pleasures no longer exciting. That’s when they are susceptible to the mind altering drug alternatives to life’s pleasures. It is too bad they don’t get a clue to what this web of entrapment means as a consequence. Instead they surround themselves with a drug culture that aids and abets the entrapment.
Same time marketers found the letter X or the word extreme.
It’s a rapper thing.
The article suggests nothing like what you state, that purple drank and sizzurp are just a form of pcp, it very clearly states that it is a mixture of prescription codeine and fizzy soda.
Actually, Trayvon Martin was apparently a user of a similar, but not as powerful, mixture called “Purple Drank”.
I guess you could say Purple Drank is the poor man’s Sizzup.
THAT SUCKER IS GONNA RUIN SIZZURP FOR THE REST OF US.
I have no idea if the tox screen searched for codeine.
And, I had completely forgotten about the liver damage.
I was thinking the same thing.
LMFAO!
My stomach hurts from laughing! It’s not the funniest thing in the world but for some reason I can’t stop!
Martin’s liver was that bad? Holy crap!
Martin’s liver was that bad? Holy crap!
I’m glad you liked that!
You should see my face when I take a tablespoon of cough syrup. Yech. I gag on it.
How in the hell can these morons drink cough syrup like it’s fruit punch?
Drop him off in Detroit. He won’t last.
Like Purple Drank?
Why doesn’t he just buy some decent whiskey or something. I think he can afford it.
I often have these weird moods in which practically everything is hysterically funny.
It’s like being stoned on pot,lol.
