And there in lies the problem, its not funny, or entertaining. The 'problem'
is.... people say whatever they like to someone else and have the impression
that nobody cares. I suggest you 'chill out ' as any adult knows, the
words you use, gives insight to your upbringing and intelligence.(if you
even care. as most young folks today could care less) Just because 'crack'
is a 'commonly' used drug where your from , some folks haven't a clue as to
what it is. Try a little respect, it goes a long way.

Thanks, Carlos!

After a little bit of a deviation, we have a final answer.

On the "crack" crack, let me just say that when I first read that post, I
tho't, ....."YES!"
Go figure.... ;~D
May I further say that the person who was offended by that comment....well,
maybe they SHOULD be on crack! (Or valium).

Okay, nuff said on that topic.

Thanks all for your input!

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Umm...it's a commonly used phrase used to say someone doesn't know what
they're talking about. It's not meant to get a laugh or entertain. It's just
everyday slang jargon used by millions. You've never heard anyone tell you
or someone else "you're on crack..."?

I'm almost 37, have a college education, was formerly a beginning computer
programmer, before the dot-com crash and my subsequent layoff, and am not
ignorant by any degree or young enough that I have this slacker attitude as
you suggest. I'm not even in the same ballpark as the person you've
obviously imagined me as being.

As far as crack, if you don't know what it is, since it's all over the
television, then you've been hiding in a cave. And, wakeup...crack's used
everywhere, in every major city.

Again, it's a commonly used phrase that no one I've ever met has ever been
offended by until now. You people sound like a bunch of sensitive sissies.
Suck it up and get over it! (pssst: now I am being offensive...) Cry all you
want, I will NOT apologize for using a commonly used phrase that gets used
daily by people from all walks of life.

Go on with your life, people. Life's too short to get upset over nothing.

Thanks! There you go... The OP understood it wasn't offensive in nature.
Kudos! Glad you've gotten everything straightened out, BTW. (oops...more
slang? Someone else my get offended!)

IMHO s/"to say"/"by"

It doesn't.

Population of the world = ?(???,???,???)

Ratio billion:million = ?(???):?

Percentage of people who use that phrase = .?%

never used the stuff.

"I'm unemployed and middle-aged" would've been sufficient descriptive
though how that's supposed to make a difference is beyond me. And I
could be wrong, but isn't that a little too old to have used/be using
crack ?

?

See above "Population Percentage" comment.

figures; I don't find that phrase offensive; inappropriate perhaps, but
not offensive.

NO....its degrading and a reference to doing dope...do you do crack? so that
you could Identify someone whos on it? Common to who?, just because you live
somewhere where crack is used commonly doesn't mean everybody does.
College?....talk with some intelligence then. I obviously have much more
respect for my folks and proud in the fact that I am street drug free. BTW I
live in Los Angeles, I know all about it, yet for some strange reason, I
don't infer that people I talk to, nor there folks, are on it. Again, just
because you have heard it said numerous times doesn't make it ok. I hear the
'n' word all the time, I don't use that either.



BULLCRAP....sad that you promote the use. You watch too much TV news.

I wouldn't expect someone like you to appologize, and your wrong...lets ask
grandma shall we, whats that ? oh it wasn't around then.......

Yeah its all 'nothing', the typical apathy that DOES Exist everywhere.
