Watched quite a few people die, or worse from alcohol. System-related, you think?jaynewcastle wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 1:47 pmJust watched a documentary this week about Whitneys Houston spiralling drug adduction that ended up costing her her life.siliconlife wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 7:17 am Still incredible to me that people think the problem is drugs and not the systems we have created to deal with them. Perverse, inverted view of society, imo. But hey, maybe I just think that everyone deserves some compassion. After all, if you'd been born into a different family, this could just as easily have been you. I'm not saying the girl doesn't deserve punishment, I'm just saying some of the stuff people say on this forum is fucking cold af.
Good to know that it wasn't the drugs but the system actually to blame

Not a particle of doubt in my mind. Definitely system-related.siliconlife wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 2:02 pmWatched quite a few people die, or worse from alcohol.

How long did it take? Decades? Meth seems to work a lot faster than that, and fucks up people of all classes.siliconlife wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 2:02 pmWatched quite a few people die, or worse from alcohol.

The fastest death I have seen that was alcohol-related took about I dunno, a couple of minutes, I guess. Drunken barfight, watched as medics tried to help the guy while he choked on his own broken neck. I've seen domestic abuse cases linked to alcohol rise over a couple of years. etc. And then you have the creeping effects that take hold of the older generations to boot.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 4:10 pm

Really just commenting on the unsympathetic, holier-than-thou, and in my view hypocritical opinions of some of the comments we see around here. Everyone makes mistakes, I hardly think an 18 year-old girl needs to be condemned by people she's never even met when the police have already got her, and will deal with her accordingly.
If you look at the vast majority of people who are deep in the narcotics industry, they come from backgrounds of poverty and abuse.

Re: 18Yo Waitress Arrested for Drug Trafficking in Kandal
You just assumed a whole string of baseless excuses for the alleged criminal and turned her into a victim, is it such an impossibility to you that she could actually be a complicit drug dealer who should be held accountable for breaking the law?Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:52 pmYeah, but she's 18 and possibly not very bright. IMO someone set her up to sell the drugs and she's probably addicted herself.
Can we assume that if someone you care about was the victim of a crime, violently assaulted for example, by a perpetrator who was only 18, possibly not very bright, perhaps an addict or had maybe been told by someone else to do it, you would be just as compassionate and forgiving?

Well, she will be held accountable for selling drugs and dealt with by the law. I have no problem with her being arrested if she was selling drugs, but that doesn't stop me from feeling sorry that 18 year old kids are taking and selling meth.Chad Sexington wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 6:22 pmYou just assumed a whole string of baseless excuses for the alleged criminal and turned her into a victim, is it such an impossibility to you that she could actually be a complicit drug dealer who should be held accountable for breaking the law?Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:52 pmYeah, but she's 18 and possibly not very bright.

She will be "dealt with" legally, but in the big scheme of things, her arrest is not going to change anything. Maybe she will get sent to rehab, but I don't think there are enough facilities for all the addicts out there.
Cambodia seems to be awash with meth and it makes me sad and angry that it is everywhere.
