Addiction has NOTHING to do with being irresponsible. It has mostly to do with a mental disorder, would you goto a relative that had cancer and say "fuck you, your better off dead because you arn't worth living anymore?, I hope not. So what is the difference between cancer and addiction, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!.
BULLSHIT!!!!!
addiction has everything to do with being irresponsible, weak willed, and having a complete lack of impulse control
i refuse to feel bad for people who are in situations because of their own choices and actions
if someone dies of lung cancer because they chose to smoke for 50+ years, knowing the health risks...
if someone is dieing of diabetes and other weight related health issues, because they refuse to take care of themselves even after they have been hospitalized on multiple occasions...
if someone drinks themselves retarded and kills themselves driving off the road and wrapping their car around a tree...
someone who is withering away on a pill addiction, that they have already lost a gal bladder to, along with losing a few jobs, their car, most of their friends and the better part of their family over
i will not feel bad for them, they will receive none of my sympathy while they are here, and i will not morn them or feel remorse when they are gone
they chose to smoke
they chose to take 0 care of themselves
they chose to drink and drive
they chose to pop pills
these situations are not the same as:
a healthy, active woman who develops breast cancer
a child who develops type-1 diabetes
someone who loses a leg in an accident when a drunk driver runs into her car
someone who develops a health condition due to an allergic reaction to a medication
these people are in a situation that was not a result of their own poor choices
