A Four Page, Golly! If I may clarify some points for the record. I am selfish, not a great personality trait but there you go. My form of selfishness isn't going to the pub and refusing to buy my mates a drink just because I don't want one. I don't sit at the end of a meal and piss everyone off by saying the drinks bill has to be separate and I'm only paying for my own bottle of Perrier. At a party I don't lecture anyone having a smoke or a spliff, I just make sure it is away from me because it stinks and I don't want to go home honking of weed. My selfishness is wanting to know that if I have an accident and need to go to hospital that I am not at the back of the queue behind an A&E full of wasters who either fell down drunk or got into a fight whilst drunk. When I get cancer (odds on certainty) I want to be able to be seen pronto and not after someone who has been smoking 60 Marlboros every day for the last 40 years. There is so much sh*t in the world that I can't change, if I sat there wringing my hands over every last thing I would not be able to get out of bed in the morning. My choice is to try and make decisions that are right for me and that I can look at myself in the mirror and my kids in the eye and tell the truth. I don't want my kids to grow up thinking it is ok to take what ever drugs are on offer but I am not so stupid to think that they won't give them a go. If they do then at least it will be with a knowledge of the risks involved from Shandy to Smack. And if you really think that caffeine is such an awful drug and because I drink tea I can't have an opinion on someone taking Heroin then all I can say is "No more from the defense M'lud"
Upon consideration, you're best staying off the drugs. Having a conversation with you on speed would be purgatory.
Cars are inanimate objects until people drive them. Should we just kill everyone to be on the safe side?
Perhaps then, my insurance won't keep on rising - despite my superb no claims record - and when I question the yearly increase I am told that I have to pay for the indiscretions of others - and that has been my point in this thread. ps - you do know that it is people who kill other people ?
Guns and rockets need a person to fire them. If I may lighten the mood a little "You're an inanimate f*cking object!" (In Bruges, quality fillum.)
Refusing to go to the pub and your buy mates a drink means their a tight sod or have no mates, albeit if only non alcoholic. If someone goes to the hospital because of drink, then yeah they are a pain, but wasters really?...no more than the arsehole that didn't give a toss while driving and 'wasted' someone's life. If someone has smoked 60 Marlboro's a day for 40 years, they've probably lived a damn sight longer than a certain percentage of the population than health freaks, not that I would recommend it. And why Marlboro, sounds more like health propaganda is feeding your choices. Then you justify caffeine with Heroin, while moving away from your original sentence of weed, so why was the comparison not there instead of choosing the latter, hence sub consciously condoning or having no evidence of its affects just to justify a comparison. Therefore condoning it sub consciously but not wanting to consciously As for shandy to smack, you conveniently want to dismiss the link with car's that cause thousands of deaths every year, I guess you must be a driver. So there's your smack, death in an instance not over 40 years. What ever way you look at it your going to die, just accept it
I think you missed the point. I DO go to pubs and I DO buy rounds of drinks for mates, I DON'T sit there and judge them for drinking but if they get pished and up to the antics of the feeble minded I DO call it a night and leave them to it with NO SYMPATHY when they can't get up for footie the next day or expect every other fecker to feel sorry for them if they have a hangover. I was told to more or less f*ck off and have no opinion as I drink tea so if anyone thinks I am the same league as a heroin or crack addict then you be the judge as I obviously am not allowed to. I don't care a jot if it is Marlboros or Silk Cut, if you get cancer because of it then you are a drain on finite resources. I have evidence of the effects of weed. I have evidence of what alcohol abuse does. I also have evidence of what heroin does to a person and their family. If you want to jump in anywhere on that spectrum feel free. As I have never mentioned cars on this thread other than taking the piss I am not sure what you think the link is. Cars don't cause any deaths, the twats driving them do. If you want to start a thread on bad drivers I would be happy to join in. I have never driven drunk by the way. just saying.
