I choose not to throw my pearls to the swine PS....Just HAD to throw in the Biblical thing Quite to the contrary, my mind is never completely made up. No one can know everything about everything, as there is always new information to be accounted for. We all have life experiences and outside information which guide our opinions in one way or another. If I were to tell you that I am 100% rock solid about every belief I hold, Id be a liar. What did I learn today? Freedom means different things to everyone. This is why its so damn hard to come together for a better america. While everyone here stands up for our gun rights, there are many other things we will never agree on. I guess 'constitutional rights' means different things to different people too.

Good luck to you and yours. If you think im completely blind to the horrors of drug addiction, you would be incorrect. I grew up in a small city that had the second highest rate of heroin addiction per capita, in the entire united states, in a city of around 15,000 people. Ive seen friends and family turn into disgusting shells of their former selves, three of my very best friends died from overdoses, and my mother is hopelessly addicted to this day. When I was a kid, my mom was normal as can be. She partied in her younger years, but completely stopped when she found out she was pregnant with me. My dad did the same. They made a good life for me, they worked their asses off, but I had everything i needed, and all the love many grow up without. We went of vacations, they bought a nice house, decent cars, good reputation, and we were the picture of a 'good as it gets' family. When I was 19 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. They cut off both of her breasts and ran her through almost a year of painful chemo and radiation. Her hair fell out, she was in constant pain, she was a fucking mess. Her doctor prescribed her oxycontin for the pain, a little at first, and finally building up to 160mg. Now heres the kicker, Once she was done with her cancer treatments, he cut her off. No offer to wean down, no methadone, no nothing, just done. She was sick for days and all of a sudden she was better, we thought it was the end of it, nope. One of my cousins used heroin, and gave mom some because she was so fucking sick. This continued her addiction then, and it still persists now. But I dont blame my cousin for giving opiates to an opiate addict, she was in pain and I understand that. I blame the fucking doctor for leaving her with zero options and basically driving her to it. He could have referred her to a clinic, or a rehab, or whatever, he didnt even try. How the fuck can you have a licence to prescribe medications and not be aware that your patient is hopelessly addicted, then cut them off and be rightous about it. The system of restrictions is what drove my mom to use illegal drugs. But shes not alone, thousands of people are introduced to opiates a year, by their doctor. Many of these people also turn to heroin and the like. When a system is so fucked up that it gives out terribly addictive substances, then expects everyone not to get addicted, it is destructive and irresponsible. There is no winner here, the system failed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunman1 1,753 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 One more time And the discussion was about "CHILDREN", not adults...post #44 and #45 Any person who thinks it's ok to allow "CHILDREN" to have ready access to drugs under any circumstances is a fucking piece of shit in my book, but I may be completely out of my fuken mind so perhaps it doesn't matter, and it's just one man's opinion anyway. I used to tell myself all sorts of lies to make me feel OK in my own skin, I just had to be right. Folks with no moral compass make decisions all the time which adversely affects everyone else, just look to Washington D.C., or perhaps their own state house, or maybe even their own living room I too will fight for the wellbeing of all our children. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it started off about kids, but it made me think of my mother. I miss the days when she didnt need a substance to be normal, it fucks me up more and more as the years go by. I have a daughter who absolutely loves her grandma, but grandma can only be around when shes 'ok', because when shes not ok, shes a fucking mess. When she has her shit, shes ok, when she doesnt, shes not. It fucking sucks for everyone, especially for her. Darth sorry my responces to three members posts have taken your thread into a legalize drugs and hate the country arguement. I also apologize Darth. I have a bad habit of derailing threads.

Big John! 2,062 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) You two should not apologize for this one. Sometimes threads get derailed for the good. You guys got some bad shit off your chest and brought in a first hand view on how things can go sideways for good people. While addiction can be fucked up for the addicted. I think it is much harder on the family and friends that have to deal with it. Edited July 11, 2014 by Big John! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
