You just know there’s a plug chilling right now at that specific Golden Corral
All you can eat buffet of fascism.
Edit: Lol, yeah, keep the cameras in the schools. Gotta get 'em used to it when they are young so they don’t notice them on every street corner when they are adults.
What’s so fascist about not wanting substances around the kids?
Even stuff as mild as alcohol can create belligerents that can put students in harm’s way.
I don’t disagree really, but you do have to always consider why some things are considered harmful (and just called drugs) and others not (and usually ignored that they’re drugs). For example, I’m sure caffeine is allowed in the school. It’s the world’s most popular stimulant. It is a drug and is often abused, and many people are addicted without even realizing it. Who gets to decide which drugs are “good” and which are “dangerous?” Are they using a scientific understanding to reach such a conclusion?
Probably not but at least with caffeine there’s a societal joke about the horror of children on a caffeine high that keeps the teachers from letting the kids try the first one for free.
If we want to address that all the way though, moving the soda bottles into the nurse’s office to be used exclusively for severe headache treatment would be a good start.
If caffeine helps against headaches, it just means you’re addicted to caffeine. Headaches are the most common withdrawal symptom.
I “discovered” caffeine the summer between 7th and 8th grade. Vanilla lattes changed everything. In high school they sold us sodas and snacks between classes. By 9th grade, I couldn’t stay awake through 2nd period (geometry) without drinking a 20 oz. Mt. Dew before class. When I realized what was happening I stopped drinking Mt. Dew. It was a rough couple of weeks. It was my first experience with drug dependence. Informed my approach to drugs for the rest of my life. I got lucky, I suppose.
Dude, the problem is that a fucking buffet restaurant is “sponsoring” aka advertising at a grade school.
I don’t like this… On the other hand, I don’t fully hate it, because even though it’s scummy corporate advertising, they are helping to fund a school.
And maybe being okay with this even remotely is part of the problem.
Without drugs Golden Corral would lose its entire 16-45 demographic
You are an unfit mother! Your children will be placed in the custody of, CARL’S JUNIOR!
