I don't know how to say it any plainer. 'Class' is really indicative of 'social class' and that's all about who's better than who. It's all quite ridiculous, really.
There are values like manners and tact that are appreciated by the same people who fall into the 'class' trap, but overall I think it's a bunch of hooey.
It makes me thing of that Dr Seuss book where one group of people buttered their bread on top and one buttered it on the bottom.
You're quite the passionate libertarian, aren't you?
I'm really not sure if I can use that label since there are several issues that I have a completely opposite view on, like capital punishment for example. I could give two shits about political correctness and I think affirmative action is horseshit. I guess I consider myself an anti-dogmatic realist.
She was never officially charged with murder, they let her go. Lastnight she herself OD'd and is in a coma. She has already had one major OD in the past which left her unable to control the left side of her face and weak on the left side of her body, forcing her to walk with a cane - and she's only 23 years old. We're all just waiting for her to wake up so we can see how fuct up her body is now. I'm also curious as to whether or not the OD was intentional. I strongly suspect that it was since the amount of drugs was absolutely staggering.
Jeez, I would have thought that her dad's death might have convinced to keep away from drugs... I hope she wasn't trying to kill herself or anything, though.
Well it's not exactly a bullet hell shooter (but close enough). Trust me, though, you will die a lot in that game. It's the small, barely visible bullets that are more likely to kill you, anyway.
OD on purpose = suicide. I can totally see her wanting to commit suicide. The stress of being addicted, of watching her dad die, of being arrested and interrogated while detoxing, and of being permanently disabled at such a young age - yeah it all adds up to not really wanting to go on.
why someone would OD herself? i don't see the point...
I myself can't see the point in even getting into anything like that in the first place. Yeah, I can see wanting to escape reality or get a "good (momentary) feeling." But everyone should know where these things will take them. I've considered trying something to just forget things (once when I was having my own pity party), but that would've been only if I was going to give up on life. Once you make the wrong turn it's harder to get back on track, and the only place these roads lead to are dead-ends.
Quote from Opium:
Something tells me you've been visiting some church that tells you what to think.
My parents taught me how to speak, as well as when to speak, how to dress myself, what to do and what not to do, etc. What if we were all abandoned / left to fend for ourselves at a certain age that was too young?
My point is; were never too old to get wise instruction. In fact, we should demand it for our own sake/s. That's why God... er, let me say that's why our parents (should) love us enough to let us know how to live, and what choices to make so we will have a happy life... and, when it's our time to go: a happier death.
ETA: Opium, I really hope your friend makes it... with at least a desire to go on. I realize she's in a lot of pain. And I do not mean this to be insulting in any way... But the best witnesses, the one's with the most powerful testimonies are those that God saves and redeems from sin and death. May God help her.
In our English class today we were talking about how we want to die. I asked my English Teacher how he would want to die, and he said that he would want to be on his death bed, and then start doing heroin. we were like "haha, that's funny" but then he was like, "No, I'm dead serious" and we were like "oh...". He also teaches the Theory of Knowledge class, and he's a pretty funny guy in general.
Yeah, the only problem that came up was how he was going to get it if he was on his death bed. Maybe if he had some REALLY good friends to go get some for him or something.
