Empathy. You should give it a try some time.
You are only adding to the sum total of helplessness.

Just another person addicted. Why don't we just save everyone? Why don't we just ban all those "horrible" and "evil" substances. Why not pay for their medical care. Why not take away his/her freedom to decide their own life, because y'know it's for his own good.

ffs people make their own choices. Let them make it even though you disagree.

The empathy is weak with you.

If Amy Winehouse kills herself, at least we have Duffy. She has a similar sound.

Make available institutions that will help people who have problems with drugs. Done.

People who are caring enough to work for these institutions. Done.

People who are caring enough to work for agencies to get people noticed. Done.

And yes, people who are out there who care and will do just about anything to help someone make a decision to remain hospitalized and receive professional help from specialists. Done.

Don't enslave her. Done.

Her decision, not ours. You can hope, pray, wish, encourage and be agressive with support for partnership programs to aid indivituals who are seriously struggling with substance abuse and drug addictions, but one thing you can't make them do, how to live life the way they truly want to live. "Truly want to live."

"Character is judged by what we do when no one is around, ultimately."

Don't say you don't care, and don't say you care enough, because when something happens to you in the future, you're going to be regretting it.

Does that mean you have to try to make yourself justified in doing all that you can? You can be your own judge of that, by the examples you are setting and the way you are living life from day to day, not just trying to attend church on Sunday, and calling yourself a good or half-decent person.

Obviously the women has issues. Laws are generally created to maintain order and protect people according to how its creators see fit and what may or may not be just. To make a law for one single women, you need to look at the bigger picture, how is it going to affect everyone?
For a 1st world nation, you don't just wage war without thinking about the consequences. It will cost lives, affect the people, cause the economy to be reworked, takes up a lot of time and money, affects international status quo and so on.
Why sacrifice for one women? Is it because you care, or because you think it's right?

You want to get to know someone, see what they do with their time 24/7/365. Invest or move on. Reap or sow, live or die, win or lose. Time and effort.

Sell yourself short, become a statistic? To condemn her, you're pretty much saying that there is such thing as "worthless human life on Earth."

So now it comes down to testing it. "Is there true and lasting happiness in the sacrifice of other human beings?" Mindset, some may argue, does happiness even matter? But we'll let you decide - on how much oppurtunity and vision for the future is forseeable by your example of saying "whatever you [feel] like saying."

As if your words here were going to echo from cyberspace to reality?

"To care or not to care." -what say ye?

tried it....didn't like it......she's an adult, able to make adult decisions...if she wants to commit suicide via drug use...so be it...it's her choice.

as long as she does not hurt any innocent people...i.e. killing them while driving under the influence......fvck her...it's her own stupidity.
