  1. Ppl always got something to say instead of praying. Smh idk personally know this man but come on, there are more things that are important besides pulling someone over and messing with their stuff. If ppl want to do drugs, it’s their body. The times we live in today Everyone has a habbit. From drinking to taking medication systematically, over eating, gambling. If you gonna band one thing band them all. Especially that medication the pharmacy is slowly killing everybody with… And that’s just how I feel about it. This system contradicts itself in many ways. So does this state and the u.s.a. Everything is just wrong in this world

    • You never explained what is more important in your remark “there are more things that are important besides pulling someone over and messing with their stuff”. There is nothing more important then pulling someone over and messing with so-called their stuff. Notify me if I am wrong…slim.
