Why Are Cons So Stuck on the Idea That Paying Income and Property Taxes Is Solely to Support Lazy?

Question by The Right is Wrong: Why are Cons so stuck on the idea that paying income and property taxes is solely to support lazy?

I mean you cons love the military right? How about the FDA? The TSA? There must be SOME government programs you like…try to focus on those.

How Long Does It Take to Get Over a Cocaine Addiction?

Question by brittanyb: How long does it take to get over a cocaine addiction?
I’m watching a movie right now about a cocaine addiction, and I’m curious as to how long it takes for a person who is addicted to cocaine to get over it completely. What happens to a person who stops using? Like what happens to their body?
Thank you for the info so far..

But does anyone know the typical time it takes a person to feel normal again when they try to stop using? Like the typical time period of vomiting, achy, etc. before feeling normal again?
