Amy Winehouse found dead (6 Viewers)

[Enron]

That's great, I'm supposed to feel bad for somebody who squandered chance after chance to do good things with her life by marrying a toolbox and becoming a drug-addict just like I'm supposed to feel ashamed that I have no sympathy for people who make stupid decisions.

Doing drugs (dangerous drugs) is like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. You know not to do it, if you die doing it you're an idiot and you're no big loss to the world and if you stop doing it you're still pretty silly for having done it in the first place. :hellyes:

Way to be compassionate to your fellow Juventini.

Compassion is for people who aren't at fault for their woes.

i understand where you are coming from but not all the fault lies on her, many many people could have helped but didnt

It sounds harsh, but I'm inclined to agree. You never know how things really went down though, it's not all black and white ( no pun intended ).

That is true, but there are others who tried to help her but she rebuffed their overtures.

That's if she ODed of course, we don't know yet.

Edit:Ken you beat me to it

I was referring to Sergio being a success story and you mocking his success.

it's easy to speak as you do when you have no comprehension of struggle.

 

[JuveJay]

I'm guessing IZ works for Samaritans.

You call it success, I call it recovering from a mistake. To me there is a difference between the two.

Believe it or not that quite untrue, I have been affected by drug abuse in my life. But you are correct in assuming that I don't know how difficult it would be to get off, let's say smack. Probably because I know it can kill you instantly and wouldn't try it.

No, but I think they do very important work. Barnardos collections is about as charitable as I get

have to agree here , never been tempted by trying the crap because I value my life way too much

 

[JuveJay]

It does feel good to stand on the edge though.

So we shouldn't praise those that make mistakes but are able to learn from them? Then let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

There are different types of success. Each man is his own story.

I'm sure you've made mistakes in your life, and probably learned from them.

we definitely should redemption and rebirth is for everyone. " Unless a man is born again he can not see the father in heaven"

There are different types of mistakes as well as success. I don't intentionally do things I know will fail or be a bad idea or destroy my life. In today's world I am highly sceptical that those who choose to do drugs haven't been informed of their dangerous nature and lethality. Knowing something is 'wrong' and doing it anyway is different from thinking it's 'right' and honestly misjudging the world around you.

There's nothing laudable about doing what you have been informed and 'know' is wrong then stopping it, In my opinion.

I've made as many mistakes as anybody buy I've never expected praise for fixing what I was responsible for breaking. That's called responsibility and it's a basic requirement of a functioning adult, again IMO

Not everyone is due redemption. But if one is willing to strive toward the light, then there is a possibility for reward.

Amy Whinehouse never sought to get better. I feel no compassion for her.

People who find a way out of similar situations are a different case.

Responsibility is something gained, learned. No one is born a 35 year old librarian.
I don't think former drug addicts want or need praise for fighting their demons. But I'm sure they don't appreciate being lumped in with Amy Whinehouse. There is a difference.
Anyway...

I once worked a job where we did things that were dangerous and potentially lethal everyday. We knew the possible results but worked anyway.

We had a saying "If you're gonna do stupid, think about it. Then do it well".

 

[IrishZebra]

I didn't lump them together, I said a paragraph about Winehouse and then one about addicts in general.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

I guess she doesn't have to go to rehab now

 

[Gabriel]

Am I the only one who thought Sergio wasn't talking about himself but rather his username?
