And whose fault was it that she took them? her own.
If I offer you the chance to stick your hand in the fire and you take it, who is responsible? you are.
That is what drugs do to you my friend, Amy Winehouse was not born say, mentally backward, which is the picture you wish to portray - that occured due to her lifestyle choices and the people she chose to associate herself with.
Her boyfriend didn't 'drug her up' - she did that herself, and from a young age as her childhood friends described. My friends from time to time smoke weed, nobody 'drugs them up' - they choose to do that themselves, it is their own (in my opinion stupid) choice that they wish to do this. Amy, from what i've seen, was a rather feisty and independent woman and was certainly not a pushover (not that excuses bad acts anyway).
Her family did try, even in the glare of the public which they were led to do - but you cannot help somebody who does not want help and who ultimately can only help themselves.
Where have I been disrespectful? I simply take issue with the likes of yourself who apologise on behalf of people who choose to take drugs and defend drugs themselves, the likes of who seem to think that drugs are a disease you can strangely 'catch' - drug taking isn't a disease nor should we pretend it is one and maybe when we start treating it like a bad habit brought about by choice then maybe we'll avoid another death like this one thanks (again) to drugs.
I rather like Winehouse myself, but that doesn't mean she's not responsible for her actions.
Absolute nonsense, I don't need to meet Jesus Christ to know he was the son of God nor do I need to meet Adolf Hitler to know he was an evil man. An addiction is simply a word for the weak minded, you become 'addicted' because you allow yourself to become 'addicted' and fail to stop yourself, instead preferring to take drugs and live the lifestyle that they lead you upon. A thief steals because he wishes to, a drug user takes drugs because they want to.
To prove this point I ask the question, does anyone think the chances of Pete Doherty giving up drugs after one of his friends dying (as i'm sure many already have, we've all heard of the incident at that party) are there? of course not, these people want to take drugs and they know the harm they do - her mother and father warned publically, and she has now sadly faced the apparent consquences of her actions.
