...what's even the reason to open it?

    So people who cannot afford it will not keep opening a series of brand new boxes just to sneak a small square to smoke drugs off of.

    It's ok, be glad you're clearly too European to get this. Leave the Americans to deal with their problems

    But you don't have aluminum foil over there. You only have aluminium, it's a completely different situation, you wouldn't understand.

    as everyone knows, aluminium foil is completely unusable as drug paraphernalia.

    We use lead foil like God intended.

    Of course we do, but at least in Western Europe we take better care of them. There's generally social welfare programs, shelters, etc. In Amsterdam there's shelters where they can safely use crack so they have access to clean supplies.

    The question "like we DON'T have them" is kind of silly. It's about how predominant the problem is, not whether we also have a couple.

    The US has several times the crack user per capita compared to Europe, depending on where in Europe.

    I ve heard from someone in europe how a shopkeeper frequently has candy bars stolen.

    The candy gets tossed on the street, its the foil they want.

    100% South Georgia!

    Also to ruin the joke: people who use methamphetamine will use a piece of tin foil to vaporize the crystal.

    "All of you" "You all" general Americanism for referencing a group of people.

    Unless that's not what you are asking

    You are thinking of y'all, which is a southern American slang contraction of "you all." However, this person put "ya'll," so it's a contraction of "ya will."

    Either way, neither really fits on the context of the sentence. I wish they had just said poor addicts if that's who they meant to imply. Shame on me for projecting if I'm misinterpreting.

    "Y'all" spelled "ya'll" bugs the shit out of me. It's my "I'm a descriptivist until..." Moment.

    But "we ... For y'all people" absolutely is how they'd say it where I'm from. The quotes around the word read to me like they're shaming them (which, honestly, in the South, I'm sure I'm sure they are), but the sentence structure itself is perfectly in line with how it's normally spoken in my experience.

    I do try, but it's tough walking out my front door every day, and the world is that much shittier because there's crackheads just leaving trash and detritus everywhere they go. Smoking their drugs in broad daylight on the side of the road. Dodging the needles with every other step. Listening to their arguments and fights every night. They make everything shittier by their presence.

    I get the frustration, but don't be mad at the crackheads. Drug abuse is just another symptom of the shitty system we live in. Be mad at the people who are responsible for that system instead.
