True I dont know
My own child died of a heroin overdose so I do have some experience with clinics, courts, addicts and treatment programs
If she wanted to be sober she wouldnt be shooting up in the house with her kids and with her dealer

Its possible he intentionally od’d her to rob her
Thats what happened to my child

Easy. Welfare pays per kid and a lot of recipients don’t spend it all on the kids.

Clearly, you just don’t understand. Someone has to be a dealer. Those drugs won’t sell themselves.

“Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.”

Here’s a tip. When you respond to a post, try to have a point. It makes things soooo much more interesting for the reader.

Best,

Oh, sorry. I thought you might know how that ends. But of course, not everybody's familiar with the quotable Hilaire Belloc:

"Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
May all my enemies go to hell."

That's not my sentiment. That's a satirical quote, meant to point out the irony of people whose vindictive spirit and whose enthusiasm for dealing out death flares so openly even during this most Blessed Season.

Best,

MDO

“meant to point out the irony of people whose vindictive spirit and whose enthusiasm for dealing out death flares so openly even during this most Blessed Season.”

I’ve dealt death in my life and have no wish to repeat the experience. However in this particular case this person dealt their own hand and then played it to its logical and inevitable conclusion.

I played no role whosoever. Nor will I accept anyone trying to imply that somehow I bear any guilt or responsibility for the actions of others.

Trying to stop people from this sort of behavior is a fools errand. And forcing others at the point of a gun to pay for it is profoundly immoral and decidedly un-Christian.

So take your sad little attempt to inflict guilt on me elsewhere.

Merry Christmas.

I was referring to your recommendation that addicts be given every opportunity to kill themselves by the millions and then be shoveled into mass graves.

I did not say one word -- not one word --- about government-crafted taxpayer-funded solutions.

So you can take your deflections and ...reflect on them.

I’ve got a question for you. Why would the Obamacare providers infiltrate WV with their drugs? Do you think it’s possible that in the plan to shut down the gun-toting, Bible-thumping, redneck’s coal mines that step TWO was to get them hooked on drugs? Wasn’t there a big heroin addiction in China’s history before the revolution?

had to do research...the demoncrats know all this. I bet Jarrett and Bill Ayers know about it, too. THEY’RE DOING IT HERE!

By this time, there were literally millions of addicts in the country. The new government immediately set about coping with the monumental problem. Peasants were persuaded to plough in their opium crops and sow wheat or rice instead. Neighbourhoods were mobilised in a massive educational programme. The street committees which governed the neighbourhoods held study groups in which the evils of opium and heroin were discussed. Families of known addicts were educated not to blame their addict members, but to encourage them to seek help. Addicts themselves were impressed by the fact that they were not blamed for their addiction, since they were considered victims of foreign governments and other enemies of the people. After their cure, they were given training and then placed in paying jobs. Many of them were hired by the government to work with other addicts.

At the same time, pressure was placed on the dealers. Those who surrendered were accepted by the community, re-educated, trained for meaningful work and given jobs. The rest were packed off to prison, and the worst offenders were executed. By 1956, the People’s Republic of China had virtually eliminated its drug problem.

I wonder how many of these states are important to demoncrats...

And you, ma’am, can take your passive aggressiveness into the next county and on your way out kiss my rosy white backside.

Nothing but love,

“Oh, sorry. I thought you might know how that ends. But of course, not everybody’s familiar with the quotable Hilaire Belloc:”

I have no trouble imagining you looking over your glasses at me with disdain while you sniff condescendingly as you say that.

I’m also quite certain you’re not familiar with the the esteemed Friar Lurker and his equally pithy and eminently quotable retort.

“B*** me.”

These people that think that it can’t “happen to their family” have their heads up their butts. It can, and does, happen to even the best of families.

One of my best friends’ 24 year old son is a heroin addict. He came from an upper middle class family and had all the “advantages”. His mother is beside herself but the heroin epidemic in this area is unbelievable. To think that it can’t hit close to home is to be living in fairyland. It doesn’t just attack the lower socioeconomic population....it doesn’t discriminate.

I will keep this woman’s children in my prayers.

Just watched it. That was bad but my county is worse - unfortunately! Makes me very sad. Horry County, SC had 101 opioid deaths in 2016 and 1043 doses of Narcan administered in 2016 and the numbers are going to be higher this year. Astonishing.

Their experience with opium over the centuries led to zero tolerance. The genius who created the modern Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew is probably the greatest national leader in history!
