Can you say PECKERWOOD without giggling?

(15,359 posts)I hurt myself laughing at your peckerwood humor. However it is a question for the ages. Which should be studied and tested until we get to the bottom of the peckerwood quandary.

(13,413 posts)The chapter down here would contract themselves out to bigger gangs to be the mules for cross-border human and firearms trafficking.
Useless slacker bois with sadistic streaks who couldn't even manage to hold down day-labor work.
Back when I worked the shipyards, some of my crew and some subs knew gang members and would occasionally talk about them.

(113,130 posts)The Fucklebutts were probably fine with the Mexicans as long as they stayed on their own side of the border, taking fentanyl from China and manufacturing it into lookalike prescription pills and lacing every other street drug with it. They were the importers and manufacturers of the raw material. The Fucklebutts were the wholesalers and distribution network.
The W.O.D. is not working. It has to be rethought.

Think. Again.
(17,324 posts)...and I look for what's causing that, and the only thing that makes sense to me to is the lack of "value" that people put into life in general.
We are living much more comfortable lives now, with an absurd amount of excess everything. Friends, neighbors, community, etc. are much less important when the population thinks they can just buy whatever they need or want.
As a species, our survival depends on the cooperation of those around us but when we lose sight of that through a false sense of independent security, other people are no longer important, so it's easy to disregard the pain of others.
But I don't know. I do know I fear for us though. Our position as a dominant species here on the planet might have an closer end date than we realize.
