Coffee Maybe Not a Health Drink!
perbert writes "Canadian researchers have published a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicating that excess coffee drinking (4+ cups a day) could lead to an increased risk of heart disease if you have the wrong gene. In light of other studies linking antioxidants in coffee to a reduction in heart disease, who is right? Or will they cancel out in a coffee death-match?"
And those smug, self important asshats who think they're somehow better than everyone else...
I hate them...

Err...
and pain patients use opiates their entire lives.
Yes, because they are in chronic pain, pain which hurts their livelyhood, and quality of life. Your average junky is just a tool who is to weak to live life as it is. And being that opiates are severely addictive, they probably won't quit the smack to see that life is actually quite a nice place. And because the fact that it is addictive their quality of life will still suffer. Opiates to build tolerance on their own, so said legal junky will still need more and more.
and wouldn't be stigmatized by being an addict.
Sure, like alcoholics aren't? Good example there, alcohol = legal drug, and a large portion of the population is directly harmed by it. Be it through drunk drivers, domestic abuse, or just the general unpleasantness that exists in being around them. Stigma exists for a reason, not because it is illegal.
They could live entirely normal lives.
Ignoring a fact that they are incapible of actually living a normal life. I live a normal life, I can tolerate the world without mainlining my pleasure centers to oblivion. I guess normal in the sense of that famous rat with a wire to its pleasure centers that starved to death.
Why did I respond? I already regret this.

Don't you mean
Yo' comment about Ebonics struck uh nerve wiff me. Ebonics be havin' rigid syntactic rules followed by all speakers, just as American English do. It iz uh misconception dat Ebonics iz "bad English". This be racist yo, a linguistic lynching.

200 years ago de white man pwned us, but thanks to Dr Farrakhan and Malcolm X we be free, but de white man pwnz our language to dis' day. White devils be dissin' Ebonics EVERYDAY, but if you be in the kno', yo kno' Ebonics be the language great black men like Tupac, Shakespeare and Beethoven rapped in. Your comment illustrates uh playa' hatah' attitude towards segregated societies, an' I'm gonna put a cap in yo pasty ass. Melanin deficient bitch.
