Yes. It's not like he could have said, "No one told me drugs were bad. There have been no examples of people crashing and burning on drugs anywhere! I had no idea." He made the personal choice to start drugs. I wish more people would take more personal responsibility for their actions. He was thirteen and not a baby. Forget, "He should have known better." He did know better and still took drugs.

Just so we're clear here, you're literally arguing that a human being deserved to die because of a bad decision he made when he was 13 years old. That's literally what you are arguing.

Here's hoping you're a troll.

At no point did they say he deserved to die.

They said that he was being stupid for doing it and that they don't believe that he didn't know what he was doing was dangerous.

That's no the same as thinking that someone deserved to die.

They're saying that he was being stupid for doing it, and that they don't believe that he didn't know what he was doing was dangerous, and also that this means it's wrong to feel compassion for his death. Because that's what happens when you're addicted, and it was his choice to take drugs and get addicted when he was 13. This whole discussion is taking place in the context of a lot of people who really strenuously object to the idea of feeling any kind of sympathy or pity or compassion for addicts, especially for ones who die.

Show ONE comment where someone said that he literally deserved to die and that it was literally wrong to feel sorry for him. just ONE.

While I admit there's a certain amount of hyperbole going on in this thread, I think this comment comes pretty close:

Taking drugs is an action that is KNOWN to lead to addiction. Anyone who makes that CHOICE to take drugs does not get to act like a helpless victim when the KNOWN consequences arrive, as they WILL DO.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
That comment still doesn't say anything at all about deserving anything. That comment says that addicts shouldn't pretend that their addiction wasn't started due to their choices.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-21 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine, it was a stupid choice. People make stupid choices all the time. But neglected, possibly abused, and under-educated 13-year-olds don't always MAKE rational, good choices. Your average addict doesn't stop using until they hit rock bottom - which it sounds like Cory never did. Never served jail time, which is what made my cousin stop using (for now, at least, we'll see if it lasts).

Actually he might not have had an idea. And even if he did, he was THIRTEEN. Do you really expect him to have processed that information the same way an adult would?
