Personally I think That you can't fully understand what being a "waster" is like until you've been one yourself.
I used to be a "waster" I'm not defending My actions or decisions. If you get mixed into the wrong crowd or have problems then it isn't that hard to start using. Wether it's alcohol or drugs. And It's hard to get out of that stage without an intervention.
Don't judge if you aren't willing to be judged.

Most ignorant rant ever.
Or thread for that matter, a lot of my friends are addicts, so am I... But in everyday life I give, help, listen, care, love and so do my friends.
Being an addict doesn't make you a scumbag, bashing on addicts does that.
Nuff sed personnal rant over

You disgust me. Your attitude disgusts me. Every single word in your OP makes me want to vomit in my mouth.
As somebody who has struggled with several forms of addiction over the years, I can tell you from experience that your sort of attitude is the very reason why you are seeing people in gutters, 'wasting their life'. If not for people like you, particularly the ones who make our laws, these people would be getting the help that they need medically and physically. Perhaps they may not have even gotten addicted to whatever substance they abuse.
You clearly haven't got a clue about addiction, it's effects and it's consequences. One does not simply wake up one day and decide to ruin their lives by snorting a bag of coc aine, or drink a few bottles of vodka from a brown paper bag. Addiction creeps up on you like a cat hunting a mouse, and once it has hold of you it grabs onto you tightly and doesn't just 'go away'.
Anyway, I really could care less about whatever ridiculous response you come up with, I know it will be filled with lies and nonsense.

Personally, I loath adults who don't know the difference between "there" and "their" way more than I could ever loath any addict. At least they're not pretending.
By the way, the most interesting, smart and succesful people that I have met in my life so far have been addicts in some way or another. For what it's worth, just years before I received my PhD, I was working as a cargo hauler at the airport and was high on anything that I could get my fingers on.
Glad that it wasn't you who got to decide if I was to be given a second chance.

Fair enough.
I usually don't say such things - I produce enough typos myself.
I just can't stand people making threads about how superior they are compared to others, wondering why such low-lifes are even allowed to exist if they're full of typos.
If you wanna portray yourself as superior to others by written communication, you should probably be able to write a sentence without confusing "their" and "there".
If you do no such thing, I will not hold typos against you. Only if you come on as in a smug, superior way.

Not worth saying much else really........
So many people today are so quick to put down others when they have no idea what is going on within their lives.......
I have worked for the last 20 years in the community supporting people with various issues including problems with drugs and alcohol, housing, employment, HIV/AIDS, abuse, homeless, ex-offending, rape, just to name a few....
We all have problems, some worse than others.....
You don't know what has gone on within their lives to the place where they are at present. But with the experiences I have had working and supporting clients over the years things can get better for certain individuals over time. Those people you see in the street may be in a better position some time in the future if they are given the correct support and care. The workers who assist these people are normal human beings like you and me, but they are not so ignorant as what you are.....
Think about things before bellyaching and pointing the finger, you never know, some time in the future you could be one of those people on the street, it can happen, I know for a fact because I have seen it and I have also lived through it. You never know how life is going to pan out and if the s**t hits the fan in your life then I can assure you that you will be trying to get the support to try and put yourself back on track.....
Please think before opening your mouth, speaking before engaging your brain is a dangerous thing to do........
Not worth saying much and yet you have a lot to say lol

Why try to reason with him, he's obviously not intelligent enough to take in any rationality.
For christs sake, he can't even spell his own username. What is an equalizer?

If that is the only reply that you can manage regarding my post, then I feel very sorry for you. You are either a completely blinkered individual with no understanding of life and what goes on around you. Or you are a completely selfless and stupid person. Or you are just posting on here just to create unneeded mayhem and chaos....
I hope you are happy by what you have achieved on your thread. It may be a good idea to actually take heed of what people are actually stating within their replies to you....
Always remember, you never know what is around the corner, you may one day be in a position where you need guidance and support, and I know for a fact that you will receive it because there are some great individual workers out there who will do their best to relieve your anxieties and pain....
Maybe one day you will think back at this post you have made on ATS when you are in a less fortunate situation, but even then I don't suppose you will post a thread to say how wrong you were, because that's just the kind of person you are.....
I wish you all the best and hope that one day you will open your eyes and have an understanding of the real things that are around you in the world today.....
