Amy Winehouse found dead

[flatface]

That's not an excuse at all. You could say that about anything - I'm sure pedophiles don't like being pedophiles either. She chose to start doing drugs. I cannot begin to fathom how incredibly easy the majority of us and her (when alive) have it and there is absolutely no reason at all why she couldn't have initially or even in the end looked for help to resist drugs. It is a shame Amy Winehouse died. What dwarfs that shame into oblivion is the tragedy that an illegal and unhealthy industry has once again claimed the life of a bright young individual who wasn't finished making her mark on the world.

Absolutely disgusting how you can make a comparison between people who have a drug addiction to paedophilia... I've seen it time and time again, these people want help and do seek help, but their environment means that it just leads them in a vicious circle through no fault of their own - these people such as Amy Winehouse are not criminals, simply victims.

The Wikipedia thing is amusing. Also, people seem to be caring more for an alcoholic, drug taking singer than 92 people who died in Norway. Silly.

i don't really think it's fair to compare the two
although saying that yesterday when i was on the bus i overheard a WOMAN asking where norway was on the map and if it was 'that country beside france'
i was like .............................

Well, they're both problems and are illegal..

[flatface]

Well, they're both problems and are illegal..

But both at complete opposite ends of the scale :S?

Well, they're both problems and are illegal..

they can hardly be classed in the same category :rolleyes:

how is paedophillia even comparable to substance abuse? it's a bit deeper than "she could have stopped had she sought the help". it may have been the case it became a strong mental affliction and by that time had she given up she may have certainly relapsed because it had carried on too long.

If she was so deep into drugs it's a shame she didn't stop sooner, or that she even started doing drugs at all then.

You are comparing pedophiles to people who use substances? You need select your comparisons more carefully

The comparison is between a person with rational behaviour vs one with irrational behaviour. The comparison is solid and reaffirms that people with addictions, whether it's being addicted to drugs, peadophilia, theft etc never wanted to get so deep into it but they did anyway. I in no way compared the crime of being a pedophile to consuming illegal narcotics thanks, I was merely comparing the similarities in assorted addictions.

Yes, I would agree.

Yes, illegal?

I can fathom why people would take drugs. Because they want a bit of a fun, it's natural to experiment and want more from life.

What's your alternative to fun? Locking a thread on a forum? Sending out warning PMs? Generalising in threads? Having no social skills and never going out? Oh wait I'm generalising now too. No doubt more accurately though.

Drugs are not always fun. Sorry sonny.

Apparently you're incapable of perceiving fun things to do other than doing drugs and using Habbox. Shame.
