I don't buy it. Thanks for the advice. It is also a persons choice to shoot up heroin, doesn't make it a good idea. Never said it wasn't their choice (in fact, I did say "people are responsible for themselves"). I said it was bad.
You do realise it is entirely possibly to "shoot up heroine" (heroin* FTFY) in an entirely controlled and safe manner, with very little risk involved?
Is every single operation patient a raving addicted madman? Nope. Which is funny, because they shoot up heroin on doctor's permission; in one of the safest buildings you can be in!
It is also possible to abuse it. But that is the individual's choice.
Do you think that cheeseburgers should be illegal? They cause just as much, if not more damage.
Our minds are incredibly complex things and we know almost nothing of the world. Do not draw lines in the sand so easily.
LOL. I don't think considering a heroin dependency being a bad thing is an "incorrect stigma".

I don't really understand the point you are trying to make with that. Not really related to anything IMO. Seems like grasping at straws.

Really?.. Similar to above. But I'm willing to argue a simple obvious point. How many "hamburger" users versus heroin users are there in the world? Percentage wise, how much greater is the frequency of "damage" (whatever you meant by that term). I don't have any sources, but I'd be willing to bet everything I own that heroin users suffer far greater amounts of "damage" and at a greater frequency per capita than do "hamburger users".
Are you literally trying to argue that you think shooting up hard drugs recreationally is a good idea? You would tell your children when they grow up, or a sibling or best friend. "I think you should go get some heroin and shoot it up. That will help you out and improve your overall quality of life" ???
Also, I never stated that drugs or porn or anything should be illegal. I will emphatically state however that some things are "bad" (as in the literal definition of the word).
I have no expectation that what I post here will change anybody's mind. But it is the internet and I can voice my opinion (as can anyone else). I'm not attacking anybody (I've made many "bad" decisions in my life). But I will state my opinion on some things and then politely defend them if somebody takes the time to try and refute a statement I make. I can't make anybody believe something is "bad" or "wrong". But I can say it and let them decide for themselves.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Good job reinforcing an already incorrect stigma.
