Not if many drugs have negative side effects.
They aren't "drugs" in that case.
Like many people, you are reacting to words you don't understand.
Many films seem to be made by people with no life experience or education.
There was a fairly good TV series called Banshee. It took place in PA where I grew up.
The show was supposed to be near Danville, PA which is a rural area. The story centered around an Amish mafia, there's no Amish in that area, and a Native American reservation and there's none in PA.
Also, the main character robs the Museum in Harrisburg PA and it looks like a NYC museum with fine paintings. In reality, the museum is tiny and dedicated to PA history, not paintings.
It was as if it took place in an alternate universe.
In reality, the writers probably did zero research and just heard about things in PA. I find that pathetic.
Yes, back then I recall thinking that you could not get a relationship with a girl your own age.
Boys were like "kids" to pretty girls who were the same age.
As you've said, that's jail material now.
In my state, you can be four years older than someone under 18 and get away with it.
You need to learn to explain yourself as do many on here.
You can say something is great or horrible without an explanation.
Anyway, I will watch anything with Arnold but the theme of the film was dumb.
If I died and there was a clone ready to roll out to keep a version of me alive I'd be greatly appreciative.
The goal was to be lame and disturbing rather than overtly funny.
So, his goal was to annoy and disturb the audience. If you get it then you will laugh at his attempt to be purposely annoying.
His comedy was passive-aggressive.
It was unique but not genius.
A genius comedian would be funny in some way know one had thought of before.
I'm not a Trump supporter or a Republican but you are correct.
It's heinous.
Why do you think he said that, is the question.
Did you ever listen to a drug commercial?
Do you follow the side effects of various popular drugs over the years?
I work in psychology and many psych meds correlate to the development of dementia later in the life of the user.
ADHD stimulant meds can stunt the growth of children because they cause the child to burn through calories that would help them grow. That's called medication induced anorexia.
Years ago there was a fat-loss drug called Fenfen that caused heart mutations and killed people.
The list goes on.
Since drugs are a business and not a public health product companies are quick to market things and if there are horrible or long term side effects, you can't entirely prove it, so there's little liability.
So, there's logic to what he says. It doesn't mean you have to agree with it but it's not the hysterical proposition you are making it out to be.
That's not what he said, so you have a fantasy about him with no factual information.
I have read countless books on the topic.
The best accounts are not books but first hand documents written by people of events that happened to them.
Such documents aren't sanitized and are much better than history books. In addition, you can find such documents written by Native Americans explaining their thoughts on the topic.
Meanwhile, the situations you expressed are individual incidents. It's like saying Native Americans were good at making shoes and somehow that discounts the massive violence and bizarre beliefs they had about other people.
It doesn't.
Also, what one tribe did that was positive means nothing about the whole history and behavior or NAs collectively.
It's like saying Amish people in PA don't believe in technology or war as a way to deal with the entire West being obsessed with technology and war. Exceptions do not disprove rules.
If you are actually inclined to read, then research documents like I described. There's plenty online and free to read.
Look up "Native American Torture Rituals" for instance.
Thinking you know what you are talking about when you know nothing and researched nothing is mental illness.
