Shinra is pretty much out of his mind, I don't exactly think that's late breaking news. I mean, he makes an ok argument that sane person could really say they disagree with (Crackhead baby will not be happy), of course, he fails to address the fact that no one is actually arguing that at all, so...

"Crack baby is unhappy" is NOT the same as "Religious group exploits addicts" at all, shinra. I know that when you get upset you stop seeing logic and reason, but try and stop raging here long enough to realize why using someone's addiction to alter their bodies forever despite the idea that they may be rehabilitated in the future isn't exactly the shining light at the end of the tunnel you seem to think it is.

"Crack baby is unhappy" is, to say the least, gross oversimplification, and I tackled the 'religious group exploits addicts' argument which you conveniently chose to ignore. I don't feel that anyone can genuinely support the freedom to make your own decisions and then get upset when the people who make those decisions have to live with the consequences of them. Sure, there's ethical issues behind what this group is doing, I won't deny that, but the end result is positive for everyone involved except the drug addict.

I can't remember, Joxam, was it you who gets casino checks because of your native american heritage? Because, last I checked, there's no industry that exploits addiction more than the gambling industry. The cherokee casino near me has a bank right in the building so people can take out loans and cash advances. Vegas is built around the concept of free beer, so people get too drunk to realize they're leveraging their house as collateral for a bank loan. So, we should close all the casinos, right? I mean, what they're doing is absolutely reprehensible.

I post that but actually I have no intention of ever looking at this thread again.

That is a low I had hoped to never, ever see here.

Don't post in this thread again.

But then again there was pretty much only one person not singing with the chorus in this thread.

So I guess there's only one thing to do.
