Bad influence

Let's use a complete generalization to stop people using complete generalizations!

Deathalicious · 2013-01-23T15:07:43+00:00

To be fair, there are probably plenty of fat stoners.

Mimsy_borogoves · 2013-01-23T15:26:41+00:00

I think I see some strawmen here.

Why is he smoking weed in a suit?

A legalize weed and fat American joke? Wow, this will be voted to the top.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but political cartoons are not allowed in R/funny right?

backbank · 2013-01-23T14:48:44+00:00

I hate to be that guy, but this is a perfect example of an ad hominem fallacy. Yes, the parent is fat, poorly dressed, unattractive, and presumably a bad parent, judging by the kid's size and ice cream cone, but that on its own doesn't make the argument any less valid.

All that said, whether weed smokers are a bad influence or not, and how that compares to our whole obesity problem in America, is a completely different story.

el_bhm · 2013-01-23T14:21:36+00:00

I am right because someone is ignorant about their problems.

Just because she is ALSO a bad influence, does not make her wrong.

Did it have to be about fat people? Come on, so tired and old. We get it. You have Anti-Fat Hysteria. What dose that have to do with pot?

gujek · 2013-01-23T15:04:29+00:00

Totally nailed the potsmoker stereotype there... Businessmen get high erry day

Emperor_NOPEolean · 2013-01-23T15:57:40+00:00

To be fair, none of the people I know who smoke pot dress nearly that well.

snang · 2013-01-23T13:51:34+00:00

It's funny because they're fat.

ry4ns18 · 2013-01-23T15:41:50+00:00

He's wearing a suit. Its a cheap one. He works a low-tier office job and knowingly lit his joint in front of a child. That woman is unfortunate to have a low metabolism and suffers from an eating disorder in which she relieves the stress of losing her husband in Afghanistan through binge eating. She now can barely afford basic goods and tries very much to instill good values in her young daughter. To keep her daughter away from the grim poverty, she treats her to ice cream often as it is one of the child's favorite things.

Stereotypes help no one.

BrokenStrides · 2013-01-23T15:35:35+00:00

Yeeeeah, except a lot of pot smokers look like the woman in that picture instead of a guy in a suit.

mambypambyland · 2013-01-23T15:44:17+00:00

Now that's what I call a strawman.

tgellen3692 · 2013-01-23T18:13:50+00:00

Hidden_Obviousness · 2013-01-23T15:33:54+00:00

Does anyone really have an issue with smokers in general? I don't take issue with considerate smokers, although smoking indoors or in an enclosed area is pretty annoying.

kernelhappy · 2013-01-23T16:05:07+00:00

Can someone PLEASE develop a reliable, affordable, easy to administer field sobriety test for marijuana?

I see the lack of a sobriety test as the only real argument against complete legalization. I don't smoke and while I realize that some people can smoke and drive, or smoke and work, not everyone can (I know I couldn't back in the day).

It actually baffles me that it doesn't already exist. I would think that it could be a hell of a money maker and there has to be a stoner biochemist out there willing to do more to make it legal.

BurntTheToast · 2013-01-23T18:34:21+00:00

How is this funny? It's just a bunch of pent up anger not humor.

awesome_nards · 2013-01-23T15:32:47+00:00

I love the way how the pot smoker is wearing a business suit lol

In_My_Penis · 2013-01-23T14:57:29+00:00

They are both bad for you. I love how not smokers act like the white knight of substance users. You're still sucking smoke into your lungs and intoxicating yourself.

ZekeD · 2013-01-23T15:15:32+00:00

Well, he is. He's making a statement that it's ok to openly do something that's illegal purely because even though it's illegal, it makes him feel good, so fuck laws!

(Note: this has nothing to do with whether or not it SHOULD be legal or not. The fact of the matter remains that it isn't. You pay the price for the choices you make. Simple decision: if you don't wanna pay the time, don't do the crime.)

IAmAKanyeWestAMA · 2013-01-23T14:49:47+00:00

it also could have been a picture of Mayor Bloomberg pointing at a responsible parent with a large soda and a hand gun saying he was a bad influence.

lol is that a black guy smoking a joint in a suit

BillPayr · 2013-01-23T16:00:30+00:00

Was in Seattle for a Seahawks game, they legalized bud there last election. Walking down the street I noticed at least 50% of adults are cigarette smokers, yet any time you happened to get the slightest wiff of weed smoke, those smokers would start freaking out looking around frantically trying to see where it came from, bitching the whole time loud enough to make sure everyone gets an earful. "I know it's legal but come on! Fuck!"

TL;DR hypocrites areassholes...

Remember parents of Reddit: Don't expose your kids to freedom.

But really did they have to write "Freedom" on her T-shirt? If this is a political cartoon I feel like titles like that should be intentional.

icydeadnoobs · 2013-01-23T16:11:35+00:00

Woah how does everyone know it is weed? I just thought it was a business man having a smoke break, what did I miss?

GiovanniTunk · 2013-01-23T16:21:33+00:00

There was this show, cops or something like it, where this dad was brought in for possession and the cop gave this huge speech on how that's a bad influence with his kids around blah blah blah and the days just says that she's flat wrong and how dare she call him a bad parent and that he can't wait until his child is old enough to smoke together. The cop was completely speechless. Got a giggle out of me.

Nucking-Futs · 2013-01-23T16:22:41+00:00

TobySaunders · 2013-01-23T16:28:27+00:00

That is indeed ironic, however, as great as cannabis is (& it is one of the best plants on Earth in fact), smoking it in public violates the rights of others not to ingest it. We let people drive cars & violate others' air in that way, but public drug use is, I feel, another issue.

Strawman

DandyTrick · 2013-01-23T17:10:21+00:00

I am for legalization as much as the next sane person, but this kind of absurd strawman bullshit is why people for legalization aren't taken seriously.

Implying that EVERY pot smoker is a completely normal well adjusted man in a business suit isn't convincing anyone of anything, though it DOES make pro-legalization activists look bad by making it seem like we can't form a legitimate argument for legalization.

Loese · 2013-01-23T17:15:29+00:00

Exactly how many weed smokers in suits do you know? Also bad generalisation.

OnkelMickwald · 2013-01-23T17:18:05+00:00

Because 'classy' people smoke and dirty dirty unhealthy people never smoke.

wiszkidd · 2013-01-23T17:29:11+00:00

logic makes no sense. if the argument is the smoker should be "arrested" for being a bad influence, he should be. the second hand smoke is a bad influence.

WebWolf7 · 2013-01-23T17:41:14+00:00

A good point, but I can't say that I have ever seen anyone smoke pot in a suit before!

I like when obese people ridicule smokers and pot smokers saying "Do you know how bad that is for you". I was smoking a cigar outside with my friends when a grossly overweight girl walked by and berated us saying "you're killing yourselves put that out!", we all had to bite our tongues to not say anything lol

I mean really? The people yelling at each other weren't that bad...

Mad-Dee · 2013-01-23T21:46:40+00:00

You'd not find it funny if the woman was a trim, sharply dressed businesswoman and the pot smoker was a scrawny teen in a rasta cap and filthy, baggy clothes with stink lines coming off of him.

This is just as stupid as the people you're mocking.
