What are the ambitions and aspirations of the American people?

[Harpy Eagle]

where are "ambitions and aspirations" on mazlow's pyramid of needs? most of us are operating closer to the base of the pyramid.

I get that you are speaking for yourself, but you should not add in the "most of us" as you do not know most of us or how we are doing.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The American Right would like to see a country that functions as described in the U.S. Constitution. That is to say, a Congress that limits itself to the powers granted in Article I, the President, Article II, and so on.

Then how come they never vote for anyone that does these things?

 

[shockedcanadian]

There are 300 million plus Americans, we all have different ambitions and aspirations.

They are also always changing as we go through life.

My ambitions and aspirations are very different now than they were when I was 20 or even 40.

The only way the Govt can help anyone meet their ambitions and aspirations is to get the fuck out of the way.

People like you that turn to the Govt to be able to meet their ambitions and aspirations are looking the wrong way.

Oh ok

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Oh ok

Are your ambitions and aspirations the same now as when you were younger?

I am 60 and I can say I have achieved many of my ambitions and aspirations. I have had a very success career both in the Marine Corps and out. I have raised two amazing children that are now adults and slaying life as they go.

These days my ambitions and aspirations revolve around making it a couple more years till retirement and golf and travel and the beach. I have no desire to gain any more promotions at work, I am very content doing what I am doing as it gives me plenty of free time as well as a higher salary than I would have dreamed of 15 years ago.

While my daughter, who is 29 has very different ambitions and aspirations.

I know found out the hard way why that drug was illegal to begin with.

It was illegal because the government was out of the loop collecting no TAXES on its sale nor use.

It causes mental illness.

No it doesn't. People with mental illness use it. You get high, you come down, you go back to normal. Where the problem is, is with people with mental issues use it 24/7 and never come down. The problem is with its unrestricted distribution.

But if it’s not illegal, at the very least, warnings should be prominent and those who smoke it in public should be in jail.

Hey, don't use it then. Pot can also be very benefical used the right way. Foxglove can either kill you but if used properly, can cure heart disease. Alcohol is legal and look at the problems it causes! The CIA did a study of LSD in the 1960s interested to see if they could use it for brainwashing, and the outcome of their study was that whatever the harmful effects of LSD, alcohol was worse.

You’re spewing propaganda.
Amazing how arrogant people can be by believing they know someone else’s circumstance better than they do themselves.
Pot causes mental illness. Fact. Pot is addictive and causes psychosis, psychotic episodes, schizophrenia, depression, suicidal ideation and anxiety disorders. These are established empirical facts. Pot has no medical benefits. That is a ruse aimed at mainstreaming. It would need FDA approval which it has not acquired (for valid reasons) and, if acquired, would then require all of the health risks be on the labeling and packaging and marketing. The industry doesn’t want that.
Again, I don’t care what drug anyone does to themselves. But promoting a dangerous substance and using in a way that affects others needs to be called out and strictly prohibited.
The pot industry is gaslighting people just like democrats do with MSM propaganda.

Bullshit. I am well read on the topic.

Hypocritical considering that is just what you did presuming to know how Stroud should run his life.

RUBBISH. Do I sound psychotic? It may increase the chances of such occurences only in individuals already with a propensity toward such dilemmas. Pot can also be a wonderful, healing, curative agent used in the right hands.

These are established empirical facts.

No such thing as an "established empirical" fact, stupid. That is like calling something an objective subjective reality.

Pot has no medical benefits.

Pot has tremendous medical benefits. It has been used for thousands of years as a spiritual avatar by native Americans, and has countless recognized medical benefits to western medicine who are only now beginning serious research on THC. Now you are talking like a fool.

Your bullshit is getting thick and annoying.

 

[Arlette]

Does anyone know?

Will career politicians ensure that the ambitions and aspirations of the American people will be met? How about Iran, China, N Korea or Russia?

Regaining our self respect after millions of our people got so easily bamboozled by a third rate circus barker.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Life and Liberty were last seen on 42nd St.
Happiness? She's still working at that club downtown on stage every night.

I see they are on your mind.

Pot has no medicinal benefit. It’s a ruse. They would not have been forced into settlement under threat of further litigation if otherwise.
Amazing how someone knows other people’s own experiences better than they do themselves.
Read about cannabis-induced depersonalization/derealization disorder sometime. I’ve had to live with that for fifty years after five years of prior pot use.
Unfortunately, the medical issues get buried by the corrupt pot industry and a complicit media.

And they’re all free to pursue life, liberty and happiness.

Oh STFU, asshole. I'm tired of your crap. Get back on the topic of this thread or I'll report you. Take your idiotic triggered ass somewhere else.

 

[Unkotare]

No one cares what you are "tired of," Salty.

I never wanted to be a grifter, until now. It looks so easy; mo' money!
