You didn't read the article, did you?

They are trying to raise money for the family to bury their dead.
So, trying to help a family in need= promoting drug use?

I thought you were a leftist?
Where's your empathy?

Right? I mean how stupid must this family be to think people are going to want to give them money because they had a junkie for a son?

But you expect people to care when a terrorists son gets whacked?
So, the sins of the son should be held against the family? Then why do you have a problem with that terrorists son what got killed?

Not at all. I said you should keep up with the conversation if you are going to participate.

Seriously, try to keep up.

Seriously, stay on topic and try to focus. You say one thing in one thread, and then say an entirely different thing in another thread.

Troll on!

Actually, you can go back through the other thread an notice that I haven't given an opinion on the other thread. 
I am curious why you would feel that a family that was obviously so good that their kid was able to get their hands on enough pills to overdose, should recieve any money from others. What happened to personal responsibility? You seem to be doing exactly what you are accusing me of doing. Why is it right what happened to the other kid, but a family that was is so incompentant that they have a junkie son should get your sympathy or money from people who work for it and are able to raise their kids the right way?

No, but you inferred an opinion in that other thread.
Personal responsibility? The kid is dead. He can't do nothing about his addiction now, can he?


The other kid was in a warzone, a known terrorist associate, and was killed by military action. Big difference than drug over-dosing. And I'm sure some muslim charities and Al-Qaeda have already given money to the family of the kid.

So, tell me what is wrong with high school friends of the deceased putting on a fund-raiser to raise money to help the kids family with burial expenses?

His family should have personal responsibility. That was their son. They should be the ones to put up the money for the funeral. If his friends cared that much, they should put their own money up instead of asking others to pay for a waste of life junkie. In fact, his friends were probably with him when he was doing drugs. If anything, they should be willing to put up their money seeing as they are partially responsble.

He overdosed on prescription pills.  That probably means he stole them from Grandma or he was severely ill himself.  And while it's possible he was a junkie (if she had the right kind of prescriptions) more likely it just sounds like a suicide attempt, soon to become a successful suicide.

Not sure "junkie" is a fair description considering the limited information.

So... yeah.  Depending on the actual details, I can see it either way.  If the kid was dealing with a serious illness and chose suicide as the way out, or just choose suicide for any number of reasons, I think the schools going too far.  I also think the family should have been more circumspect with what information they made public, but eh.

But if the kid was a drug abuser then, while I don't agree with the schools decision, I can understand it.

Why don't you go bait somewhere else?

It's always nicer here when you are not around.

Now, off you go.
