As it happens, I donate and have volunteered for charities that help animals and humans. We are allowed to not choose sides, right? I simply wanted to ascertain, what you consider to be more precious What're the drug addict's circumstances and history? Some warrant help, while there are others that don't want it. Why should I save his life if he's just going to waste it?

So you think that donkeys should live in the lap of luxury when children are starving and dying? *opens mouth* *words inserted* Not really. You set yourself up for ridicule when you say these things.

Well, I'm stepping off the board for a bit. I come on here to unwind, and that's not happening now. Have fun, chill out, and I'll probably catch you all later.

Typical how? If there's anyone to blame other than the addictee for an addiction, I'd love to know how and why Better than being in an abusive home or homeless though, surely? And certainly from what I know of, there's four or five within a bus journey of Luton - can't vouch for the rest of the country, but I'm basing my judgement on my experience, which is hardly unreasonable. You might want to look at why people turned to drugs in the first place, and who supplied them? Well, I gather that some homeless people avoid hostels and shelters as they are as likely if not moreso to find violence and difficult experiences there than they are on the streets.

Does it matter? what about the individuals parents, family or children even. And there is a possibility that they may reform, therefore possibly becoming an asset to society

See we should help people who want to get drug free. Congrats Neil I can only imagine how hard that must have been. TBH it all seems like it was another life now, I feel like one of the lucky ones as I got a break and managed to stay strong enough to keep myself away. I dont regret what happened as I learned alot from coming out of the other side of it all. Now though in my job I have the ability to help others who are in a similar situation, the insight I have from being in that position is invaluable. I made my choices, I had to make even more to get back to where I am now. Will power is not easy to come by when you need it the most and that is the hardest thing for alot of people to cope with.

Thanks guys but the only reason I brought it up is because it seemed relevant to the arguement. Like I said it almost feels like another lifetime ago. I was just trying to point out that people can move on, not only that but alot of the time you dont know what has gone on in peoples past. I dont seek recognition, I am just me, but I am a good person and a big part of me was built on life experience. Sometimes to become a better person you have to know what it is like to be the worst.

I've dabbled quite a bit but didn't get too involved. I thought I was in control, maybe I wasn't. However it doesn't play a part in my life, but I wouldn't change the expirience, and for sure will help me in future years
