Well, you're sort of like the first person I've come across who loves to see all letters in caps all the time.

[@tomanderson5863]

Yeah the culture of provinding the leaf of death nice

[@MrJabber22]

Wonderful! Thank god there is a leader in this world, in this case being the President of Bolivia, having the the will and courage to stand up to America and say we will not fight your senseless blood soaked war on drugs! There is no reason for Bolivia to rack up a huge body count of civilians or drug members fighting over who gets to supply drugs to the American market the way Mexico does.

GREAT POINT MADE STARTING AT THE 19 MINUTE MARK AND ENDING AT THE 20 MINUTE MARK...LISTEN UP.

They should charge the consumer, without consumers, there is no need for cocaine. Are all these people blind? They just want to blame to farmers.

[@DrGaryGreen]

I don't have to post. You said it perfectly.

[@GluttonForSex]

Heh, sorry, I missed that. Loving how sentences in all caps look like is kind of an unusual thing to be into.

[@lionking789]

To Correct some poeple, in Bolivia not everyone chews coca not everyone considers it part of the culture. It is only used by aymara and quechua people so it therefore part of Bolivian culture but not as a whole. Secondly did anyone actually see this video? i see some coments that makes no sense with whats being said here. They are actually praising bolivia's unique way of dealing with this issue. ofcourse its not perfect but it is a balanced argument...

[@myabbyohabby]

*STRONG SORRY ABOUT THE MIS-SPELLING. AND NO I AM NOT YELLING I JUST LIKE THE WAY CAPITALS LOOK WHEN I TYPE.

[@myabbyohabby]

NOT REALLY.

[@ragatso666]

[@myabbyohabby]
