    They do, it’s called potassium cyanide because that’s the only way to stop bigotry

    May as well make a pill that eliminates individual freedom and stimulates our brain cells to do as we're told while we're at it.

    well you know they probably wouldn't if they could.
    and i think you can probably guess as to why.

    irmy would probably be more then half right if the way it worked was to supress,
    instead of curing the underlying motivations of/for minlessness and hatred of all logic to begin with.

    "what do you do with a mad" -rogers

    people can learn not to hate midfulness. learn to distinguish an occluded survival reflex from what they actually want.
    people learn from what entertains them. what they see and hear. what people around them assume and the basis upon which they do so.

    Even if the pill existed few racists would take it. Where would their self esteem and identity come from? If you are not white what are you?

    yes it would have to be slipped into the water or the air, on a massive scale, along with something to lower the human birthrate, and that would have to be funded secretly by big governments, because otherwise there would be no profit, and 'big pharma' isn't driven by charity or good intentions, whatever romantic notions entertainment might flog.

    (if nature were guided by personality and intelligence, as most religions try to imply, our pollution coming out of cars and other uses of combustion would provide the desired effect, which obviously it does not).

    Already exists. It's called Lysergic acid diethylamide.

    When your conscience hits you knock it back with pills.

    So-called experts are taking another look at the efficacy of psychedelics for helping people deal with life problems. Those of you for whom REAL acid was around back in the day---can you imagine what would happen to Trump if he took some! Shawn Hannity? Rush Limbaugh? That guy that runs Infowars? Yes, "they" were giving some form of psychedelic to soldiers who were not aware of it. They were of course, looking to weaponize it. There was an interview years ago on 60 minutes, I believe, and one guy that was given some was still messed up.

    As if bigotry were constrained to whites... :confused2:

    My immediate thought from the start!

    I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that he's tried it. Almost everyone with a sense of adventure back then did. I know a lot of intelligent people who did it and none I know are messed up. They're still intelligent independent thinkers, now accomplished. They are not bigots and are contributors not victims.

    It's pretty likely the guy was messed up before and that became his defacto excuse. Whaddya wanna bet he's getting benefits based on it?

    In Australia I get the feeling that bigots are seen as objects of ridicule.

    No the pharmaceutical companies couldn't make one big enough for that fat cow Roseanne Barr


    ABC canceled its hit sitcom "Roseanne" on Tuesday after the show's biggest star, Roseanne Barr, went on a racist Twitter rant.


    "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said in a statement.

    And yet, his career wasn't completely destroyed. He was in the Seinfeld reunion season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and was never vilified by his costars.

    That was in the early days of the dumbing down of America; it's had much success in the intervening years.

    I would imagine a psychological breakdown of sorts would have to happen. I don't know if there would be any way around it for some people to be honest. It's like, when you peak you really have to face the facts. If you're not prepared for that it can be a total wake up call.

    Personally, I have experienced milder yet similar feelings experimenting with medical marijuana edibles - specifically chocolate bars.
