One of the cooking channel guys I watch makes $400K a year off Youtube. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I believe you have no idea what a loser is. To me it's a guy who's 43 and has nothing yet. The distance between 43 and 50 is short indeed. By 45 you should have at the very least a property of value that is paid off, or will be by the time you're 50. Or at least have a good amount of money in the bank or invested. If you're wandering around on trails at 43, smoking pot every day, being supported by the kindness of strangers, you're a loser. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Didn't Bourdain galivant the world, just sort of roaming around showing folks what it was like? And people (strangers) found it entertaining, so they threw money at him?
So, Materialism. You didn't strike me as the type. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Tony Bourdain? He was a successful chef for 25 years, wrote a best selling book about it, and was offered a lucrative TV deal because of it. Where he worked his ass off for years traveling. Making a TV show is long hours and retake after retake. And it's not fun being away from home for most of the year.
Being able to fend for yourself isn't materialism. What he's dong is what you do at 23, not 43. He thinks he's doing great, but that's the dope talking. He's homeless and lives in a tent and gets enough money to feed himself from strangers. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Of course Ed is correct here. There are millions who use it the same way millions use alcohol appropriately. And of course there are millions who overuse, just like alcohol. I think once fully legal, we will find out marijuana is less dangerous and less a drag on society when compared to alcohol. I am for individual rights, and individual responsibilities. Make marijuana legal, with age and driving restrictions just like alcohol. |

It's funny on Live PD watching people getting arrested for driving on pot. For one thing, their car reeks of the cat piss smell of it. And cops are well trained now to spot impairment. One look at the drivers pupils, and the cat piss smell, and it's off to jail for a blood test. lol If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

For every one person like that, there are probably 50 who are total losers. |
