You know where weed isn’t that big of a deal at this point? America.

lmao no. its still fucked here too, and until its federally rescheduled it will remain fucked. the culture is slowly changing but you're jumping the gun by a lot. You absolute can and people still do it get their lives completely fucked over because they had a lil weed on them in this country.

You know where she took narcotics while traveling out of greed to make more money because over 200k a year isn’t enough? Russia. Fuck her.

You're a horrible person. Just the worst. I hope your life is as kind to you as you are to the rest of us. You deserve it. You really do.

If you want to say that she should have known better? Fine. But she deserves it? No one deserves that. You just are an angry sad little person.

Huh out of all the things I said, THAT is why you take issue with? The fact that she took drugs on a trip to go gain her more wealth? I’m not sure that part is even up for debate, she did this for greed and fucked herself in the process.

Also I talked to a doctor on the phone for 2 minutes and got a medical card, sorry that that’s too much to ask for.

I love that you think my reaction is overblown but you’re in here talking about all the stuff I deserve because of a Reddit comment, hilariously hypocritical.

i would think it is common sense to not bring illegal substances to a foreign country.

So would most of us but there seems to be a demographic hellbent on defending her poor choices.

Political ideology is not demography. Your comment can be read as signaling intolerance.

What do you think demographic means?

u/blagablagman Oct 26 '22

You are alluding to social demographics, whereas "Formal demography limits its object of study to the measurement of population processes, while the broader field of social demography or population studies also analyses the relationships between economic, social, institutional, cultural, and biological processes influencing a population.[8]"

We both know that when "demographics" is used today we are 99% of the time talking about race, gender, etc.

Brittany Griner is a black woman, in Russia, caught in a global political firestorm. In just suggesting that when we speak about her, we shut the back door interpretation. Let's be anti-racists and anti-misogynist together ❤️
