I am lovely. And not stoned. So by all accounts you lot are a bunch of crackerheads who can't get through the day without booze, ching, whizz, eckies, meth, crack, smack, weed etc whereas I like nothing more than a nice cup of PG Tips and an ogle at burds in tight lycra. And I'm the bad guy?
More tedious than some tee-total twat that goes on about how much better than he is than everyone else for not drinking/taking drugs? I bet everyone you know can't wait to invite you to parties... Just because you watched a couple of 'don't do drugs' videos at school and you may have a couple of depressingly awful friends that take drugs doesn't allow you to feel superior to everyone else. I've been partaking in drugs for a long time, and the last ****ing thing i'd ever do is hang out with dreary people like yourself that would judge me whilst I'm getting smashed. Let alone big myself up in front of others for taking drugs You may have some dreadful friends, and I'm not surprised in the least, don't ****ing think you have the right to label every other **** because you think you're better than them I'll remember to never invite you to any not606 events, but that must be a theme from most of your social circle, **** inviting some boring judgemental **** like yourself to anything Classy of you to defend sex offenders in your next paragraph though You realise time doesn't forgive sex offences right?
Toby - ( serious point ), Life is full of choices - including whom you choose as friends, eating too much / too little , drinking alcohol, taking drugs etc. YOU are permitted your choices. An enlightened society will educate people to help them to make informed choices - for the benefit of ALL of us, eg to 'prevent' smackheads from being allowed to drive a car. If you choose to privately risk your health / life, despite the 'education' to warn us, then that is your prerogative - Groveranger is demonstrating that anyone who places themselves at risk to their health, should not expect any sympathy when the risk manifests itself. - that emotion is his prerogative - but Society needs to protect others who are at risk due to the indulgences / over indulgence of 'substances' - and THAT is the right thing to do ! - because I do not consider it fair that there should be risks to my well being because of the 'selfish' choices of others - that's not being boring - that's making a choice to want to continue to live. Many of my 'boring' choices have been based on many people, who I have personally known, having their lives cut very short by the choices they have made - or by the actions of others who have made the wrong choice. You don't have to make the wrong choices, or to excess to have a good time - if wrong choices or excess are essential to you, then you need to choose proper friends that can make your life happier - without the health risks to yourself . -- and THAT is nothing to do with any 'boring twat' thinking that they are superior to yourself - if that is what you think, then it shows how insecure you must feel about your choices. Regarding the comment about historical sex offences - just because it happened a long time ago doesn't make it less of an offence - and deserves to be 'actioned.' However we are aware of Groupies who will 'prostitute' themselves to get close to their idols. If, in achieving their limelight, they are groped ( or more ), it doesn't excuse the offences against them - but if they choose to not disclose the event for many years, the victim risks a lack of sympathy towards them,
You could have summed that up in about sentences, you don't get bonus points on here for writing superlong paragraphs. Well done for also completely missing the point
Toby You are ( partly ) correct - I could have just said that you obviously feel insecure about your choices if you think that others are superior to yourself. The rest of my post was for the benefit of anyone capable of understanding the ' bleeding obvious.'
I am the life and soul of the party, I shall not list the feats achieved whilst stone cold sober here as there is simply not enough time. Whether or not I feel superior to anyone has little to do with their drug or drink consumption and all my friends either drink or do drugs of some sort or another and they don't get their panties in a bunch because I choose not to do the same. I don't walk around pubs with a sandwich board saying "repent and lay off the bevvies" I have nothing to escape from, I don't hate my life so much that I feel the need to blot out the world every weekend. I'm not so stressed with my life that I have to alter my perception of reality. I am confident enough in my own abilities that I don't have to try and compete by doing just one more pill or pint than my mates on a Saturday night. I don't puke my kebab all over the pavement and take a piss in someone's front garden. What you choose to do with your money is entirely up to you but maybe everyone on here wouldn't be ripping the arse out of you for kipping on your stoner mates couches if you spent less on skunk and more on rent. I'll just nip out and put the kettle on.
See, this is where you've got things wrong. I don't take drugs/drink to escape from stuff/block things out/etc..., I do it because it's interesting. I like testing my limits. It's not a competition. I've not thrown up anywhere in years and I don't walk around causing havoc. Booze is actually nice. I've mentioned why I don't currently have a flat at the mo, but it's work in progress. You going to try and point-score about the fact I'm honest on here? If I gave a **** about what people like yourself thought of me I wouldn't bother telling the truth and I'd just make **** up Venom-style to pretend my life isn't as depressing as his is. You accused people that take drugs of being 'boring'. Look at alwaysright, he doesn't take drugs and he's boring. You may have some boring friends, as mentioned in my previous post, but don't think every **** is like that. It just makes you look like an ignorant judgemental prick otherwise
Toby I did point out that we all can make individual choice - but that society needs to protect innocent people from the adverse effects of the wrong choices that some make. I couldn't give a **** what you choose to do with your life - as long as it doesn't pose a risk to my well being - so carry on 'testing' -and see how interesting you'll look on a mortuary slab - but that's your choice -- and I hardly call that being a judgemental prick.
If you don't like to eat unhealthy food ,drink fizzy pop, booze, smoke or take drugs then you have more time to sip mineral water and read a good book. Super's GC book club
I'm not sure if Toby thinks I'm a puritan ! I certainly am not. I have vices that far outweigh my virtues - but I'd like to think that they won't directly, adversely impact on the well-being of others -- I might feel sad if he (anyone), uses drugs or drinks to excess to be 'interesting' - but if done in the privacy of his own home, I haven't a problem.
Personally I agree with some of your comments in thinking there is nothing wrong in drinking & smoking, including cannabis. Have I indulged, yes, and you are absolutely right 'It's not a competition' - as soon has it becomes a competition or you can not control your choices (intake), that's the time to stop.
brb I need to clarify my position. I may not choose to make the same decisions as others - but if you (anyone) make decisions that may harm your health - that is your prerogative. I DO make decisions that are not always good for my health - but they are made in circumstances where I will not pose a risk to the well being of others - that is my point. #St.alwaysright.
It is hugely ironic that I gave up drugs when I could finally afford to buy them in copious amounts. And I've now been sober for six years. Without this period of sobriety I would be long gone, yet I still teeter on the edge as a result of my propensity for gorging on all things sugary, fatty and acidic. Now I smoke 40 a day and drink upwards of 25 coffees between 6am and 3pm, and I self-harm on an almost constant basis. My mind is in constant turmoil, meaning I often contemplate the futile nature of my existence. I envy those who can go through life without the need to prop themselves up, yet I do not regret a thing. Mistakes have made me who I am today, and I'll go knowing I made the most of a **** hand. My wife and kids are secure. My chosen charities do well from my generosity. And I like to think I'll be remembered as a jolly good egg. My biggest regret? It's a toss up between falling in love with Charlton Athletic and once stabbing my own bollocks with a Biro.
