If Bob Beckel actually REMEMBERED smoking pot, as he said he did, then he should remember that 1 only gets so high; after that, 1 just coasts for an hour or 2, with an afterglow of warm happiness for a few more hours maybe, to be finally ended with sleep filled with dreams that leave 1 feeling good the next morning, IF 1 gets enough sleep before rising. Smoking more will only extend that slightly less than initial high by the length of time that 1 waits to repeat the smoking. Now, smoking again the next night will certainly not be as intense as the 1st night. That hasN'T changed EITHER.
Please REMIND Bob, that it is just immoral & UNconstitutional to, year after year, lock up generations of mostly young men, (many of whom made the best grades in school), saddling them w/computerized CRIMINAL records that will prevent them from working at most jobs for the rest of their LIVES.
It is STUPID because this nixon&RAYgunESCALATED DrugWar has ALREADY almost BANKRUPTED MOST OF OUR STATES & NATION.
Remember when our states actually SUPPORTED college educations?
Now the $ are spent on CREATING PRISONERS & BUILDING PRISONS to HOLD THEM. The CONS have created a PRISON CULTURE that is truly frightening, just watch MSNBC on the weekends to understand WHAT A TRUE WASTE this DRUG WAR IS.
WE MUST SOON END IT to return to a time when it felt good to be FREE, AND so that we can, ONCE AGAIN, SUPPORT our EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, from TRADE SCHOOLS to COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES, & K-12.
It is PAST TIME TO LEGALIZE, TAX & REGULATE MARIJUANA.
PLEASE, lend YOUR words to this RATIONAL & positive cause.

(24,853 posts)Here you're just typing stupid shit that most will not read.
Good luck with that.
I have a brain, and what you've typed is fucking gibberish.
RZM
(8,556 posts)Or this is gibberish.
Just take the first set of letters and numbers:
'WhenBeckelSAIDon4CONS'
Ok, first word is 'when,' and second is 'Beckel,' as in 'Bob Beckel.' Third word is 'is.' So so far we've got:
'When Beckel is'
So far so good. But then I lose you at:
'AIDon'
Does this mean Beckel is an 'AI Don,' like as in artificially intelligent crime boss. Sort of the android version of Vito Corleone?
Or do you mean 'a Idon?' If I had to guess what an 'idon' was, I'd say some type of Japanese noodle.
I do get that '4 cons' means he's being whatever for conservatives. So my guess is you're saying he's either an android crime boss or a Japanese noodle in service of Conservatives.

(20,176 posts)Take my word for it, I get paid a lot of money P/T to write copy for social media content for NPOs and political campaigns. You're doing little more than annoying your audience. If you were tweeting your DU posts...you'd do better to find and remove extraneous words rather than spaces. If your content is so annoying that it makes reading the rest of the site harder, (and in this case it does because it's too wide for the table and the absence of spaces is preventing it from line-breaking) all you're going to do is motivate people to hide your threads and eventually your posts. Likewise, if your formatting makes it impossible to read your post (and in this case it does) then people are not going to read what you wrote.
If there is a prime rule of social media, it's "don't format your content in annoying ways."

(29,149 posts)The only reason I opened the thread in the first place is b/c it's screwing up the formatting of the rest of GD. So it got my attention. But I've still yet to finish reading the subject line, because I have a hard time trusting it's worth the effort.
I decided to add "spaces" to your subject line and it appears that it would still meet the twitter limit.

(28,784 posts)I wanted to let you know that the failure to have a line break in the words in your title is causing many people to hide your thread.
if you want people to read you - you should put a space between some of those letters.
if you don't care if people read you - keep it as is.
if you post in this way more than once here - people will put you on ignore so that you don't show up with these sorts of title lines.

(20,176 posts)When the first thing you have to do with a document for translation is transcribe it so you can input word-breaks & punctuation, it be comes the bane of your existence quickly. 25 minutes into "translating" and there isn't a single translated word on the page yet.

I immediately trashed this thread.

(8,556 posts)'Four cons and one moderate Democrat' is slang for 'The Five,' which is the 5pm weekday show on Fox News.
I guess my theory about robot Vito Corleone was off.
