Pharmaceutical Companys!!

[Parallel Universe123]

So the other day Im going into the local rite aid to pick up some papers and I walk pass the pharmacy and I see a couple of old people picking up a Rx I mean this old lady and man were probally like 70 somthing and looked pathetic both of them had walkers one of them was trying to buy a gallon of milk which he had trouble lifting, When the register said how much they would be paying they both looked at each other shocked the old man had to put back the milk because he couldent afford it. It was sooo sad, I mean having to decide between getting food or getting their Rx filled so that they wont have to suffer that week. What bothers me the most is that the big drug companys like roche and phizer just sit back and do nothing except count the millions of $ they take from our grandparents who worked hard all their life only to have to go though this shit. What the fuck is wrong with America these days were they allow this to happen on a daily basis while they spend billions on a drug war they cant win. The DEA is going after old hippies who grow there own medical MJ and blacks who sell this harmless plant on the street so they can feed their childern, when they should be going after the big drug companys WHO ARE THE REAL CRIMINALS in this overmedicated country

how about all the meth users in jail, whose teeth are rotting out, the
government fixes those teeth at a tune of 12 million a year.

sound fair to you?.

[newactivist]

Are you comparing marijuana use with meth use, hoss45? Do you have a better idea or do you like bringing up unrelated issues?

Just think, if we eliminate prohibition it will save our government far more money than they need to fix someones teeth. Why are we fixing their teeth anyway? Maybe some tooth pain will make them quit screwing up their health.

Our drug companies are out of control and have been for years. They're out of control because they have too much influence in Washington, playing kingmaker with PAC's, campaign contributions and favor trading. Basically they tell the people who are supposed to keep a lid on their abuses what laws to enact.

Our sick and elderly pay the price.

In jail you recieve NO cosmetic dental work. It's dentures, or teeth pulling.

All i wanted was once chance
To let freedom ring
They told me i had to get a permit
Tags and everything
We're all sittin' in the dugout
Wishin' we could pitch
How we gonna throw a shutout
If all we do is bitch?:D

I'm with you on this. The old and the sick DO pay the price. And I think the drug companies and the insurance companies conspire together to make this happen. I really hate that. They not only influence Washington through PACs and campaign contributions and lobbyists; they also directly affect health care providers and hospitals and clinics, too. I find it unbelievable how unashamedly pharmas court physicians and how much payola-like influence insurance companies exert, too.

My experience, black drug dealers arent selling dope to buy food for their family...

They could get a normal job..but i guess they couldnt pass a piss test

[Freshy]

u can't be a criminal if u support the government with as much cash as the pharmaceutical companies do. just wait til social security fails now that they are getting rid of medicaid or medicare or whatever it was called. the question is, will they let the old and sick die just because they can't afford treatment.

"Fascism should rightly be called corporatism as it is a merger of state and corporate power." -Benito Mussolini

our nation is or is almost fascist according to Mussolini. though, it's more like the corporations own state power rather than just merging with the state.

time to start praying for 2008...

you're an idiot:D

[notanotherteensmoker]

If only they pulled out a fattie and blew rings in the pharmacist's phace. I love seeing old people toke. Like in Chapelle's Show..."Reminds me of being with the Negro jazz musicians in Harlem...good for arthritis, too!"

[brewdy]

allmost EVERYBODY know the drug companies are rippin' people off ....
what's new, they have some of the highest profit margins of any of
the fortune 500. and they development costs are high.... but this
brings int the whole health care issue in USA ... a real can of worms
people can't pay bills, or even afford health insurance. A REAL mess

Hi daima, good to hear from you. Sorry about our argument too, I can be an asshole sometimes when I lose my temper. Water under the bridge.

myth1184, I agree that most people here couldn't pass a piss-test but I don't know too many of partying age that could either. It's not a racial thing, it's a freedom thing. Like having you here because I don't agree with much you say. The difference of opinion in a debate helps us all keep our heads out of asses.

Freshy, I heard that expression from Benito before and it made me think the exact same thing.

Yeah, drug companies practices are enough to make me want to puke. That's why I buy my prescritions online, usually from Indian companies as they are 1/10th the price.

By the way, did anyone catch the Medicaire prescription drug plan touted in the White House or did Iraq distract us? The GAO says we can't afford it but the polititions are pushing it anyway. Sounds like another way for drug companies to rape Medicaire to me. They use influence in Washington to get it and we end up paying the price. Pretty fucked up.

[The Figment]

I know this is gonna sound stupid but...did you offer to pay for the milk? (Please I'm not trying to sound sarcastic) Mabey if PEOPLE tryed to help we would'nt have to worry about the Goverment and its greedy ways. We need to get involved in helpin our neighbors needs sometimes...Depending on assholes like Bush,Cheany,ect is never gonna solve the proplems we have!!

It's good to see you once again also.
Your last paragraph reminds me of lyrics to an ol' dead tune.

"There's a richman in his summer home
saying just leave well enough alone
well his pants are down his covers blown
and the politicians throwing stones
so the kids they dance and shake their bones
'cause it's all to clear that we are on our own
ashes to ashes we all fall down"

Speaking of washington influence...., why do we never hear about building seven, next to the WTC, which fell for no apparent reason? How can a building become so hot that the heat causes it to fall, but yet we have video of people standing in the hole in the building waving before they jumped?
How could people stand the heat that tons of high grade steel couldnt?
They sure didnt waste any time cleaning up the mess and fucking up what should of been a crime scene. They shipped some of that steel right out of the country. I never did see a government clean -up job go so quickly. Heck we still have polluted rivers, lakes, and toher sites that they have spent decades on and still dont have them cleaned up.
They didnt want a 9-11 commisssion to investigate what happened, but they had no problem spending 80 million dollars and wasting time to impeach a guy over a sex lie and a cum stainded dress. wow. They dont have the ability to tell the truth about a plant, and it is my opinion that dont do not have the capacity to tell the truth about anything else. Shoot...i'm ramblin. sorry. Two hits of bubble hash does this shit to me:D

Peace, and friends through truth and justice,

DUPONT's influance was a major factor in have'n MJ made illegal the first time. they (at least at the time) supplied much of the raw chemicals that pharma co. use to make their drugs. natural ingrediants are not patentable, so there was little profit in saying "got a pain?.. smoke a little green.
only sythesised compounds are protected under patent law..
