Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I have next to no sympathy for drug abusers that end up homeless due to their addiction. It was their decision to take that first hit, it's their responsibility. The desperate shifting of blame to literally anyone but themselves absolutely disgusts me.

Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with you.

Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you there. People know that shit like drugs and alcohol are bad, it's their own fault they got in so deep.

Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Well this thread gave me a chill.

Re: Controversial Opinions

I'm not sure why you're incapable of sympathy? I have sympathy. I don't believe it's helpful to subvert blame, or that we shouldn't acknowledge that some people fuck up their own lives. But surely we can still be capable of sympathy, and even act on that sympathy by trying to create (and support) programs that help people get back on their feet. Just because someone's made mistakes and developed addictions doesn't mean we should turn their back on them.

Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed.

Re: Controversial Opinions

What if the person turned to drugs because of something in their life that has beaten them down to the point where drugs is the only thing they feel like they have any control over?

Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

DA, but what a ridiculous excuse. Yes, they're still responsible for that. Self-destruction is a decision.

Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, but usually when people self-destruct aren't in a good state of mind. Yes, it's ultimately their responsibility to improve, no one else can do that for you, but I think a civil society should have easily accessible options, support, and accommodations for those needing help. Punishing them further for making a dumb mistake won't improve anything.

nayrt for the record

Re: Controversial Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not excusing it. I'm explaining a possible cause. Some people don't see a way out.

Yes, some are permanently self-destructive no matter what but there are those who need to be worked with, to be shown it is possible to have a good or at least functional life beyond needles/pills/powders/etc.

Looking upon a person who needs help as "disgusting" or dismissing or minimizing their situation (calling it a "ridiculous" excuse) is not helpful.
