Everyone loves a druggie .. don't they?

Why is it we're expected to feel sorry for people who die of drugs overdoses?

Yesterday F1 Boss Max Mosley's son died after allegedly injecting a load of heroin, the London papers described it as a "tragedy". Any Winehouse is tottering around the Caribbean and the press would have us believe it's "terrible" what's happened to her. Then there's Doherty..

I'm sorry, but if you choose to take hard drugs and you die it's your hard luck. I have no sympathy. At all.

Like AIDS, there's no excuse for living in Britain and not being aware of the dangers that can befall you if you do something utterly bloody stupid. There's nothing tragic about ignorance.

The family's of those who die would have you think differently of course, the dead druggie will always have been a good boy/girl who NEVER got in trouble with the police, they will also have been bright, happy and outgoing until the drugs got hold of them.

Hang on though, did these drugs wander down the street and bundle the druggie into a car? Was said corpse forced to take substances against their will (twice a day, every day for six months) - I think not.

The simple fact of the matter is, if you take this shit you might die and if you do. IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT. I have nothing against people taking drugs, if that's what they want to do, fair enough, but don't expect me to believe they're saints and don't expect me to help them out if it all goes pear-shaped. It doesn't matter it's heroin, crack, booze or Haliborange, if you can't take the consequences, don't touch the stuff!!!
