That's the whole point of all the crazy joking around on here...

Some of you keep ragging on Stephen, but he is making a valid point...

You can't act like the gas station is contributing to problems in the neighborhood. In reality, it's the exact opposite. They are only offering what SELLS in that market, plain and simple. If it didn't sell, they wouldn't offer it. Pipes and razor blades are next to the checkout BECAUSE of the problems in the neighborhood. But the problems in the neighborhood don't exist because the gas station is selling pipes and razor blades.

If you make them get rid of rooms for rent fliers, or pipes and razor blades, do you really think it will make any difference? It won't. People will just get the stuff somewhere else, and meanwhile one of the few small businesses that's still trying to make it in that area will be out some portion of their revenue. If you press the issue far enough, you'll eventually be stuck with all the same neighborhood problems, but now you'll have no gas station.

It seems some people want to attack the symptom and not the disease.

Awesome, my malt liquor and lock picking tool store should be open any day now....

may i rent a space in your store to sell razor blades, pipes, and handguns?

if they want it, i should sell it to them i guess....

jason_contentdg · February 26, 2009, 11:09:39 AM

Of course you can fsu813, and if you need a place to live I'm renting rooms by the day in the back. I also buy copper by the pound, so if you have any bring it in....no questions asked.

Karl_Pilkington · February 26, 2009, 11:25:05 AM

yeah I just cleaned up my attic and have some room in my basement....heck I'll rent by the hour!

I really think if you wanted to clean up financially, open up a shop that sells nothing but quarts, lotto and smokes when everything goes to hell I'll be in business thankfully my home is zoned commercial, get me a hotel motel license, a pig in you know what.

Johnny · February 26, 2009, 01:17:12 PM

Screw that, go all the way. Sell crack... Give the people what they want!

Springfielder · February 26, 2009, 04:15:16 PM

Are we out to trash all of the businesses here in Springfield?

Pi · February 26, 2009, 04:42:22 PM

I think we are out for pure entertainment value under the guise of anonymity. Or maybe that's just me.

Sounds like 3 Layers is getting the message: Soon to come, wine/beer/malt liquor? at three layers.

WTF? No Rebel Yell? Crazy neighborhood y'all have there...

Oh and for all you crack dealers out there, you DO KNOW that I am an adopted Colombian right? Doesn't matter anyhow, we don't have the stuff anymore, the Mexicans and Springfielders have the market cornered. GW helped us BOMB it out of the Country!

BTW, I noticed today Home depot has razor blades, metal box, pen, battery, draino, bleach and some other chemicals grouped at the checkout counter. Is someone going to do something about it? Can dangerous people make some addictive or even bomb out of it? People, get serious, terrorist are much more dangerous than crack heads. In fact, I bet you can get all the tools material needed to take down a house there. Gee, they even rent dumpsters.
