Lets talk about something else.


were you aware that classical french gardening in Paris was in serious trouble before you frenchies had to call over the USA's best design architect to help bring back the glory?

What % of these victims is coming from "legal" prescriptions ?
Pretty hard to poll deads anyway.




Lets talk about something else.


It's hard to find stats that tie directly to an actual prescription for the drug mentioned for the specific deceased person, but data on drug types in general is more easily accessible. Fentanyl has taken the top spot for most OD deaths, but it's a tough one to categorize, as fentanyl can and is prescribed legally, but is very frequently acquired illegally, or is added to other drugs (like heroin) to boost the effects.

As of 2016, illegal drugs (not counting legal drugs used/acquired illegally) still comprised the majority of overdose deaths, but only by a small amount.

hey man you guys had to import our "trashitect" because no frenchies could be bothered to lay off the wine long enough to get the project done.

your country had to outsource the beautification of their own capital and shining gem. if we hired a Frenchmen to design the public gardens of Washington DC you'd hear about it for 50 years in the politics realm.

i suppose tho since we saved the city it is only fair to let us rebuilt the ground level as we see fit.

Were you aware the classical US water management is in serious trouble with, the only hope of calling the worlds best architects and researchers to bring back protection to US citizens. Something the military engineers have been failing to do.

i agree whole heartedly that sharing global knowledge is a great thing. but i also think nations should have as much autonomy over their own capitals as they can. A capital, or just most famous city even, is a thing of pride for any nation. to have it's most beautiful stretch designed by an outsider would put a poor taste in my mouth. imagine if the Washington Monument was designed by a Frenchmen. we'd never hear the end of it.

mostly just trolling tho lol

THAT WAS A GIFT!

if we're being real honest the Washington Monument is just an egyption Obelisk, which was stolen in design from much older cultures. gobekli tepe for example.

Lal.. yeah, I've been there, seen it from up close... It's not really that impressive. Perhaps if they had used a foreign designer to make something better... ^^ I liked Abe's statue more though, although he's a ripoff of a sitting Zeus in an old Greek temple :D
