OK, let's see:
- those who "don't feel like eating" when you are out for dinner before going out nightclubbing

They couldn't just not be hungry?

- those who wear dark or reflective sunglasses at night, even in a club
I keep my exposure to places with eardrum-busting noise levels to a minimum. Others will have to comment on this.

- those who chew gum in clubs (apparently, amphetamines have the effect of tensing your jaw muscles and chewing helps)
Some people seem to chew gum ALL THE TIME! Does this mean they never come down?

- those who don't drink alcohol but stick to water, soft drinks, or energy drinks
Honey, there ARE people who don't like booze or its effects, OK?

- those who drink loads of alcohol but just don't get drunk
You got me here. On the few occasions I've drank loads of alcohol, I've gotten thoroughly plastered and paid dearly for it.

- those who go to the toilet often
They couldn't have a kidney infection? Or be on diuretics? Or have cholera?

... are all most probably on drugs that night.
You seem much better acquainted than I with this subject, so I will bow to your expertise.

But I thought mindbenders were illegal in Monaco, too. Am I wrong?

OH! THAT'S RIGHT! NOT AN ISSUE! MONACO IS AN ABSOLUTE DICTATORSHIP!

All this I found out during several visits to London where ecstacy/cocaine/etc are very VERY commonly used.
DANG! I was over there a year ago and missed all the fun!

Almost everyone was chewing gum & had water bottles in their hands. When I asked for a beer, the bartender asked me "Why would you want to drink alcohol?". It was surreal :-)
Maybe he was trying to cure you're bad habits?

I just realized going out to parties and dancing 'till dawn is probably not your thing and has not been for a couple of decades, so sorry if these are not relevant -g-
< doesn't realize mike is hot > "I have just given the order to our missile forces to launch on Monaco."

Re suicides in the US - You guys are unhappy, what can I say? :-)
A gift from Mr. Clinton.

You begin to see a connection between the stupidity of Clinton in cheering on the bubble and the consequences?

Err... all I see is that more and more people find life in the US unbearable :-)

It was pretty bad in the Great Depression following the bubble of the Roaring '20s too.,

That was answered long ago.

From that link, I get the feeling that your answer to my question (which you cannot bring yourself to say in as many words) is: "No, zonder, I am definitely not happy with the way Bush has used, and still is using, my tax dollars to invade a country that was no threat to us Americans."

I think he screwed up, OK? At this point, I think he KNOWS he screwed up.
