M28 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share #322 Posted October 24, 2016 Drug use to me is a problem caused in most cases by parents who never gave their children the sell esteem that comes from a mother and father that deeply Love each other and their family and who manage to organise their work and home life to be ordered and free of all forms of poverty. This requires a Goverment that is supportive of this and thinks deeply about how to create the conditions in society for this to occur. To a large degree misery in family life is good for business and many goverments in the world actively support the disintegration of the family. With every divorce, lawyers get paid, courts get paid, houses have to be sold and bought which in Australia if close to 50% of people are getting divorced it is a real money spinner for the Goverment when houses are sold as they take massive amounts of stamp duty. It Spurs the economy as two sets of furniture has to be purchased and so on. But back from the very boring to me world of drugs, bums and dysfunction and onto the objects of my desire The Leica M and the legend of sofort and the artistically beautiful derrière. Neither have I seen where are they? Where is the Sofort sub forum? Who has a sofort ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have I seen where are they? Where is the Sofort sub forum? Who has a sofort ? Briefly since as you say it's way OT: I see very little correlation between drug use and the stability and closeness of family background. I believe it's a far more complex matter than that, as is alcohol use. The line between use and abuse is not something that can simply be measured in units of happiness. Love is not a bad thing, obviously, but it can just as easily accompany all sorts of less welcome manifestations as can neglect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted October 28, 2016 Share #324 Posted October 28, 2016 drugs are a complex problem with complex solutions the reason one person takes drugs may be very different to the next person drugs destroy lives. they take students out of university, fathers and mothers out of families, scientists out of research and destroy those for whom we eternally loose their contribution to the human race the solution is a complex mixture of education, stable society, mental health policies, law enforcement and source eradication There are no magic simple solutions ...

dkmoore Posted October 29, 2016 Share #325 Posted October 29, 2016 Hello Peter H, In the United States there is most certainly a correlation between the family unit and drug/alcohol use of family members. Statistically speaking, inner city folks are far more likely to be addicted to drugs. Those same people are primarily raised by single parent households with varying conditions. In general, if drugs and alcohol are prominent in a family, very easily a social factor, it tends to follow generation after generation. There is certainly a correlation unless I am misunderstanding your point. M28 is absolutely correct in his statement that many governments thrive and in fact take steps to widen the poverty gap as it benefits them. We see this in the US with the Democratic party as well as many other Socialist countries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted October 29, 2016 Share #327 Posted October 29, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Leica M10 aka M240 was announced 4 years ago and released about 3.5 years ago. I was disappointed that it was such a minor improvement on the M9 and yet the price escalated dramatically. I was delighted at the arrival of the M APO-Summicron 50mm f2. and waited for a much improved iso camera that was not the M240 with a big sensor full of megapixels so that I could see wall sized photographs using my projector. I have been waiting patiently for Photokina 2016 to see the new M and to order it. and what did I get? I got offered a sofort A glorified Polaroid camera. WHY, WHY LEICA ? Why do you do this to me? You used PHOTOKINA to announce a camera that was used primarily to photograph nudie shots that you never had to send to the labs for developing. Champion move. Leica announced the latest M 19th of November, so sit tight for another month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

likealot Posted November 5, 2016 Share #335 Posted November 5, 2016 You know, whenever I notice a long thread late I just read the first page and the last. It's the perfect indicator of whether the contributors have lost their patience and steered of course. The ability to jump from Sofort to drugs and family within a thread is very unique to this forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M28 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share #338 Posted November 7, 2016 Ok so when do we expect a release date?

jaapv Posted November 7, 2016 Share #339 Posted November 7, 2016 Call Leica and ask. As for a Sofort subforum - it seems Andreas has not gotten around to it yet. In the meantime feel free to post your images in the Photoforum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
