Why is it strange, you usually bow out way before now and say yourself that the library is closing. So i thought it odd that being a sunday night where things usually close earlier, that it doesnt seem to be.

Eh, you're the last person to call anyone an obsessive troll given your track record of bans on here. Or retarded for that matter.
What an idiot.
Did He say unto her "I shame you also" or "Women, where are your accusers now...neither do I condem you; go, and sin no more..."
Fact is, addiction issues are often made worse by the paralyzing fear of possible being shamed and or by being shamed.
The emotional pain so great that the person is simply no longer able to look at themselves other than when an emotional cost so much greater than said pain has become the price.
As Bradshaw so well put it - the shame that binds.
We're often talking about a soul not unlike, say, a dog in one of those animal rescue centers so emotionally destroyed that it takes quite some time to first begin to somehow help it build its sense of emotional well-being to where it is even ready to begin to deal with others and or its reality once more.
Think of the Lord. How He would go and hang with those basicallt spit on by the rest, His very heart "to seek they who were lost..."
These issues are not as easy to evaluate from within what basically amounts to the vacuum of one's own "well, if it were me..."
These issues are no different than when our young men and women come home from a war so emotionally changed by it that they end up with great difficulties ahead - even when that is the last thing they'd wanted or would want for themselves and or their loved ones.
Crucible is right - one ought to walk in another's shoes on this.
At the same time, he is being a huge, huge hypocrite. He continually denigrates women who's shoes he has not walked in.
You...ought to be ashamed of yourself, C...you're being a hypocrite through and through.
To your...loss.

and from the bolded, one might consider that we are raising a generation of children/young adults in an environment of violence and perversion - it's no wonder that they are struggling to survive
when i see a pic like that mom with the needle in her arm, i'm looking at a woman trying to commit suicide
And take her baby with her? And maybe someone elses family?
Wait, earlier you said they should be executed.

if our laws were just, she would never have had an opportunity to become addicted
You do know a load of people become addicted because of the nature of opiates who are given to them as prescriptions at first right?

so?
if drug laws were harsh and enforced, they would not be able to find an illicit source to feed their addiction
Since that is what you think should happen, why does posting their pics publically in the midst of their "crime" bother you? You seem to be flip flopping on this issue.

not at all
public executions to act as a deterrent
much more effective than public shaming
Public shaming does too, and not as many people die.
Why are you concerned about her committing suicide when you would kill her anyway through execution?
ok doser
lifeguard at the cement pond
not sure that it does
i think it lets society feel like it's accomplishing something
singapore has harsh drug laws, and they don't execute many drug smugglers/sellers/users
they know to stay away
her committing suicide does no good for society
executing her publicly for drug use would
Your entire post is gibberish.
Makes the people you shame want to slap the hell out of you. That's it.
Stop trying to justify shaming people, you're the one to be ashamed.

Not in the West it wouldn't be oh "pious" one. Executing drug users wouldn't fly and you know it.
Or maybe you don't. It's not like you care one way or the other when there's trollin' to be done is it?
Spoken like the addict you obviously still are. My condolences to the loss of your conscience.
I am no 'addict', and you are no 'Christian'.
"Allow this post to shame you".. :AMR:
All you've done is so your ugly character in that you would actually say that to someone who is an addict. You're on a one way trip to Hell with that atrocious mentality.
