You're No Hero

[Goat Whisperer]

Because were selfish and want our economy better for ourselves, perhaps.

I find it hard to believe that having billions of dollars freed up would not allow us to make SOME progress in the areas of rehab and prevention. If neither of these things were useful, why do we do them at all?

And like I said, we should have non-violent crimes have no prison time, unless if there are repeat offenses.

Wouldn't that completely eliminate your idea of deterrence?

Just challenging you. You're a debater, and it's good to see you standing your ground and thinking through your positions.

 

[Goat Whisperer]

True, but I also don't like to beat a subject to a point where there is nothing else left to say.

I do congress, because we all have to listen to each other and get a chance to speak. This is why I don't do one on one debate.

back to the OP ..

they're saying he's a hero because he's given back.. he tried to help those who were thought to be helpless.. i dont care if he died an addict.. that to me is a hero..

I found a rather interesting article.

I'm not out to disrespect the dead with this thread, but i got the idea from another forum. I never knew who the fuck DJ AM was before this dude passed away. I know MTV has been shit for a decade but they're making this dude out to be some type of hero/savior for drug addicts. I don't think this is right! Who gives a fuck if you kicked your addiction, who made you an addict in the first place? Unless you were forcibly held down and drugged up the only one that gets themselves on drugs is themselves. If you hadn't fucked with drugs in the first place you wouldn't have to kick them would you?




We as a state here (those who actually pay taxes). Have to pay for these fucking addicts to go to methadone clinics to get drugs to get off of drugs... does that make sense? it doesn't to me.

You're very immature when it comes to this subject. :nod:

 

[GuesSAngel]

you wrote too many things to quote so i'll just do the ones that stood out to me

Sorry, not a good idea. As far as weed goes, good idea, but not serious drugs that can kill people or get them full on a addicted in one use.

Alchohol is hard to kill yourself with on the first time, however, a drug like cocaine isn't. And it certainly isn't a addictive the first time you use it.

But wait...didn't you just say that it is addictive in one use? Really don't care who your mom works for. Every person will have a different reaction to drugs.

Too bad NO ONE would have any motivation to be rehabilitated.

This is really bold to say, and again not everyone is the same and there are some people that have motivation to be rehabilitated.

I'm not sure how immaturity plays into an opinion. Maybe because I'm not an addict myself? which btw I'd never be.

 

[GuesSAngel]

Immaturity plays into your opinion because you have no knowledge of addicts. So you really don't know what it's like.

 

[Dana]

Yeh I'm sorry I don't associate myself with crackheads and the like.

 

[Zorak]

If they associated with you they'd be taking H until they didn't wake up.

 

[Dana]

well fuckuverymuch

 

[GuesSAngel]

Again, immature. Don't worry everyone grows up eventually. Even you will some day

And some of us have family that are addicts. My uncle finally kicked his heroine habit a few years before he died. I'm proud of the fact that he beat it and hate him for ruining his family's lives. Everything isn't so cut and dry as "It's your fault so screw you."

Who the fuck are you to tell me I'm not grown up simply over an opinion? I don't give a fuck if you agree with me. no one said you had to. That's the wonder of the opinion.

My name is Alicia, glad to meet you...that's who I am, thought you already knew. You have a lack of knowledge...and there is where your immaturity shines.

James...is that you? LMAO

I never said anything about the maturity of your opinion. You said you don't associate with crackheads. Well, congratulations. Some of us don't have the luxury to do so.
