Wrong again. I have been using heroin for years and I am a fully functioning adult. I have a career, a girlfriend, and a family who loves me.
Ever seen a moderate heroin user? Of course I have ... but then again, have you ever seen a bear that could play basketball? Of course I have (on TV) ... but the fact that ONE out of a MILLION (or a thousand, it's still a very small percentage)
Again, wrong. Yes, I am a moderate heroin user, my girlfriend is a moderate heroin user, and every one of my friends are moderate heroin users. I graduate from college with a full scholarship while using heroin throughout every semester. I currently have a job with a great salary, including health and dental. So wrong again, gugglebum.
It's about the closest thing I've ever seen to laughing in someone's face about their woes -
Give me a fucking break. ALL YOU EVER do, is sit your ass in front of your computer and point out every mistake people have made here in DC. Why don't you try posting in OD or TDS and see how far that gets you. The only reason your behavior is tolerated here is because DC is a more tolerant forum.
And the sentence "You have absolutely no clue what you're preaching about" is hilarious too.
It turns out to be so that I KNOW MORE HEROIN USERS THAN YOU
, mostly because it just takes a look outside my window to see a dozen.
I really could care less how many heroin users "you know". Unless you are using regularly, which you obviously aren't and I would be surprised if you've ever used at all; you have no basis for this defense. It's as if I said "Oh I married a black woman, so I know what it's like to be african-american"
So when I, who have been in direct contact with dyacetalmorphine since I was 3 years old get told "you don't know what you're talking about" I do tend to get very, very annoyed.
And when I, who have seen three friends D-I-E because of heroin (two OD's, one mugging that went too far) am told "I still mantain a succesful life", I just gotta say I don't really give a fuck, and the fact that 0.5% of them do mantain one doesn't mean the 99.5% don't matter... specially when that 99.5% involves dead life-long friends of mine.
Would you care to cite some sources for those percentages? Nah, of course you wouldn't - you'd rather stand on your little soapbox and make unfounded accusations, just as you always do.
I don't have much more to say to this except for one last incendiary line:
I despise heroin and I wish everyone caught selling wholesale amounts of it would be hanged from a fucking tree with their cojones in their mouth.
You've never had "much" to say from the very beginning, guglebum. You contribute nothing positive to this forum other than spread misinformation and criticize those who aren't even asking for your input in the first place.
Does this make me unpopular on BlueLight?
Very much so; especially with every heroin user you insult with your typical blanket statement.
I feel absolutely NO SIMPATHY for people who try to tell me that heroin is great and that their lives are fucking perfect.
Keep your sympathy to yourself. My life and the lives of my friends are proof that you simply (and always have) regurgitate rhectoric and it's a pathetic attempt at best.
