He's from my hometown, this came close to dominating yesterday's news coverage.
It was the the lead story on the late night, non Super Bowl station's newscast.

yeah agreed mate, but I'm saying you can't just blanket statement. I do it all the fucking time though so I'm a fine one to talk lol
It's about that rock bottom imo, and the 'gift of desperation'. From my personal experience, and what I've heard, you always cling onto being able to control it, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Only when you are in that state of true desperation, on the edge of the precipice so to speak, comes that 'choice' to seek help - again with that word 'choice' not being quite the true sense of it being complete free will.
Again, given that each of us is unique, and no 2 people are exactly alike, my annoyance, for lack of a better way of putting it, comes out.
It's all good though

I agree that many do use things as excuses (poor me I drank because of blahblah situation, poor me I took heroin because of my mixed up childhood, etc etc), but there's a distinction between an excuse and a reason.
As someone said already, the thing is to take responsibility, which is a huge move forward imo - this doesn't mean that valid reasons can be just brushed aside as merely excuses.
As you've stated, it isn't black & white - nothing concerning human brains ever is

I enjoy a good debate that maintains a modicum of respect, so no worries.yeah agreed mate, but I'm saying you can't just blanket statement. I do it all the fucking time though so I'm a fine one to talk lol

And yes, rock-bottom, I agree. Which is probably the biggest factor in why psh died. Hard to see yourself at rock-bottom when you are considered one of the best actors of your generation and receive all the laurels that go with that.
But again, choice is the crucial factor here. FOr me and from what I've experienced,
choice precedes wilpower.
Willpower is derived from personal choice.
Whether it's willpower to inject yourself with hardcore drugs, or willpower to seek help. But the willpower to shoot up, for instance, comes after making the choice to do the drug.
Could you fire intravenous drugs into yourself? I couldn't. And I'm an insulin junkie! I have to inject myself many times each and every day. But insulin injections are sub-cutaneous, not intravenous, big difference.Comment

And that all fucking pertains to this how? Since A. She wasn't a junky, and B. It fucking has nothing to do with this and shows you for the rotted piece of twat you are.
Btw can you prove she was on meth or a junky? Pretty sure that is a bannable offense. She had bad enamel on her teeth actually and it had nothing to do with drugs in any regard. I didn't fix her teeth either. Would you like to continue talking?
So apparently you actually have no clue at all.Comment

That's a good point....some things are more easily addictive to a greater number of people.
There actually ARE casual heroin users out there. Not many, but there are.
Nicotine is another one that is one of the MOST addictive drugs ever. Smoking cigarettes is the hardest addiction for people to quit. And that one leads you to the most horrible death you can have.
Alcohol...probably the second worst. For most people it's no big deal. But a lot of folks have a genetic physiological propensity to become alcoholics. I've seen so many of them in my life.
But in the end...it shouldn't be up to other people to COMMAND another adult person in a "free" society as to what they can and can't do with their lives.
At one point Heroin was 100% legal. It was invented by the Bayer company and sold over the counter at drug stores (no prescription).
I was listening to an interview with Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster from the old Munsters show) back when he was still alive. He was running for Mayor of some town and was a Libertarian.
He talked about how when he was a kid he used to go down to the drugstore for his grandmother and buy heroin for her when he was 8 years old.
His grandma wasn't an addict by the way. Nor where the majority of people who used it.
But doctors started seeing that it was becoming habit forming and the next thing you know...the U.S. Govt. stepped in (in all of it's wisdom) and made it ILLEGAL.
What happened next? The percentage of junkies ROSE, and they created an entire new revenue stream for organized crime.

The most embarrassing thing that could ever happen to a reasonable, well adjusted person would be to have that thread bumped. But you're a sociopath and you're not really capable of understanding when you are being made fun of and when you look stupid to others and you don't understand what it's like to feel embarrassment and shame and you'll never stop lying and trying to manipulate and downplay the facts, if you think you are "winning".
What a surprise that you don't really post here at all anymore after being laughed out of the business.. but feel the overwhelming need to chime in about drug addiction and drug laws. Hmm..................Last edited by TheSquealer; 02-03-2014, 01:44 PM..
Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

Nope...everybody makes "bad decisions".
I've had some of the funnest times in my life making "bad decisions" on the weekend.
But people with addictive personalities aren't partying and having fun. They are in a spiral and out of control. I've seen it.
You aren't partying and having a good time when you are sitting all alone in a room shooting heroin, or popping Oxycontin like candy, or drinking bottles of liquor.
My idea of "bad decisions" is getting a room at a casino here in Vegas (so I don't have to drive anywhere) and then getting shit faced and acting stupid and fucking. Then waking up the next day with a hangover regretting it and getting back to "real life"
I don't think it works that way for people who are addicted to alcohol, prescription pills, etc.-Robbie

It sucks but I am less sensitive than I used to be for people with drug addictions who off themselves.
He was a good actor but it always urked me a bit that him and others feel they have to use their middle names to be referred to.... what was wrong with just Philip Hoffman?

Actually a lot of the time with the middle name thing it is about the SAG union. They can only have one person with a specific name in the union. If there was already a Phillip Hoffman they may have made him use his middle name. Then, legally, any film has to bill him as Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
I don't know if that is the case with him, but I know with some actors it is. It is why Michael J. Fox uses the J.Comment
