allot of sports stars have drug problems, pot and cocain don't make you a better basket ball player but there sure is a high amount of drug abuse in sports.
While on the other hand, comedians are usually funnier on drugs. Hell, I'd go so far to say that people in general are funnier on drugs.
well you could also say that people in freak shows are more interesting to look at than regular people. Back in the day people found it very entertaining to watch people with defects and point and stare. Heck people even do that today with day time tv shows. That doesn't make it right someone has serios problems and then we are afforded the luxery to sit at home and watch and laugh. So maybe your laughin at the guy but there is some serios hurt in his life, thats sort of sad. I would rather the man be happy and not have a serios addiction, than having a good laugh. You can have humor without drugs

Unfortunately I think that drugs in general are detrimental to teenagers. Some get so wound up in drugs that they don't look to the future and do anything of worth to themselves or to others. They drop out of school or get a dead-end minimum wage job with no possible advancement.
exactly. 99 percent of the time drugs do not benefit the user and can be highly destructive in their lives. I am sure you can point out anomolies but on the whole its not a good road to walk down
Originally posted by moviejunkie23But that's not the same thing, you aren't laughing at their drug addiction. If they tell jokes and happen to be on drugs and the drugs make the jokes funnier it's still not laughing at their problems, it's laughing at their jokes. What they do in their spare time is none of out business.

Originally posted by moviejunkie23So he's funny and he has problems in his life. Why is that so hard to accept? The fact that they do a good job at their work despite their own problems? I'd call that a gift.
yea but if it makes me laugh more the guys on drugs, i still don't like the idea that the guy has a problem in his life and i get to laugh more. who gives a crap???? is it really worth his pain so you can laugh more?? i would rather him have a happier life
They don't take the drugs so we can laugh more, them being funnier is just a side effect. Nothing is saying if they weren't a comedian they wouldn't be on drugs.
Originally posted by moviejunkie23Oh. That was just my way of saying that the comment "99 percent of the time drugs do not benefit the user and can be highly destructive in their lives" was a made up statistic.
of statistics that were flase.you want to go on that angle of the debate i can give you more sources, i am not making this up. weed is bad for you man. period. its proven.
just out of curiosity do you smoke Afro?
I have smoked before, but I don't smoke regularly. Like I said before, too expensive for such mild results.

according to you they do better with their gift BECAUSE of the drug addiction not despite, recognize the difference.
I am saying wether they are a comedian or not a comedian i would rather not see them suffer drug addiction. However less i may laugh at their jokes

😆 common dude you know i was illustarting the point that meant MOST people. i wasn't trying to make someone think thatw as a real statistic dude, common 😛 how would you catagorize something that broad in a scientific study anyhow??? 🙄
Originally posted by moviejunkie23Yeah but they aren't on drugs because they want to be funnier, that's jsut a side effect. I doubt they say "Hmm.. I'm running out of ideas for my act.. maybe I should take up smoking crack."

Originally posted by moviejunkie23Yeah, my post wasn't really being serious either. I saw you making up statistics so I made up my own.

Originally posted by moviejunkie23Of course it's not a good reason for people to do drugs. I never said that. My whole point was this from the beginning: You said that you wondered how many great minds have been warped by drugs, and I pointed out that a lot of entertainers almost seemed to be enhanced by it. Just pointing out that a lot of your favorite songs, movies, comedians, etc. have probably in some way or another been influenced by the artist's drug habbit.
so then your saying thats not even a good reason for people to do drugs then right?
