    If you did, I meant.

    Would that be the attitude you'd pass on them?

    'Of course you should try an E darling, it might kill you but sure the high is worth the risk'

    Because if it is that is worrying.
    Putting words in someone's mouth isn't 'good arguing. An e won't kill you anyway.
    Anti drugs (as in, a blanket opposition to drugs without considering variables) arguments are always ALWAYS so flimsy. And it's tiresome.

    You've been misinformed - drugs in and of themselves aren't potentially lethal. Too much of them/underlying medical conditions are the factors required to make them so.

    And you sound as though you are in denial.

    But I know you are smarter than that Dudess. Drugs killed Amy Winehouse and have killed countless others, there is no point trying to say it was anything else.

    I don't know how I'm going to carry on after hearing the news that someone I didn't know has died.
    Hopefully prescription drugs can see me through.

    What drugs killed her? Salvia? 2C-B? Nitrous Oxide? LSD? Magic mushrooms? Speed? Mescaline? MDMA? Weed? Ketamine?

    To anyone saying how her death highlights the cold reality of drug use, get a ****ing grip.

    Do you honestly think the average clubber is milling benzos, honking on crack pipes and banging up in the jacks?

    So when 98 people are killed it's a tragedy and when one dies it's not?

    She didn't do it on purpose to try and steal Norways thunder. She's a human being who was troubled and died. don;t berate her just because she was a drug user. Any one of the 98 people who died in Norway could have been drug users. Does that make their death less tragic?

    It's sad whenever anyone loses their life, it's sad for their family, their friends etc. I'm sick of reading people taking this opportunity to preach their warped ethics. This has nothing to do with Norway. The news just broke, of course it's going to covered.


    RIP Amy

    Whats your view on alcohol?

    That it is dangerous in excess or if you drink and then do something stupid like drive.

    The difference is one glass of wine probably wouldn't kill you but one shot of heroin or one E could.

    Get off your pedestal.

    They are two different things.

    Driving is statistically the most dangerous thing people partake in.

    The day before I saw my father drink a bottle of Guinness he took me to a warehouse like structure where people were chanting, and at one point their leader dispensed small amounts of a drug.
    Then we all said
    AMEN

    Of what? I'm not in denial - I just know what I'm talking about. You clearly do not.
    But I know you are smarter than that Dudess. Drugs killed Amy Winehouse and have killed countless others, there is no point trying to say it was anything else.
    Wtf?! You're just ignoring what people are saying. Drug abuse - taking too much of a substance - is what killed Amy Winehouse. Surely you can see that that's not the same as occasional dabbling... can't you? You'd do well to stop believing tabloid tripe. One e won't kill you, one line won't kill you - find me an example of this happening without other factors coming into play...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,673 ✭✭✭AudreyHepburn


    What are you on about?

    I just think people are trying to make little of drugs use and having seen what it can do as a First Aider I don't like that attitude.

    It's just not worth it to me.

    But perhaps I am just misinformed? Maybe I should go do a few lines of coke and smoke some hash and then come back and comment?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 338 ✭✭MightyMighty737


    Haven't read the thread, but the person I feel most sorry for his her Dad. He always came across very dignified in the media and seemed a nice guy. Despite all she'd got involved in it was clear how much he loved her.

    I think the point is not that Amy's story isnt tragic but that Sky and other news organisations see this as being a more worthwhile story to broadcast continuous updates about, presumably because shes famous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,003 ✭✭✭CorkMan


    I'm sure all of us would like to be a member of the 100 Club, but unfortunately that can't happen.

    (I meant "us" as in people, not a dig at Amy Winehouse dying young)

    I'm pretty sure you'd have to have weak heart for an E to kill you, or else it would have to an impure tab. For one shot of herion to kill you you would also have to have underlying medical conditions or else a dirty needle or something. Most heroin deaths are from unclean needles etc. not the actual drug which is actually not all that damaging to the human body apart from its unfortunate addictive qualities.

    No it couldn't.

    I'd say "Frada Jnr/Fradina, sometimes you need to take massive risks to achieve greatness. Learn from your old man, live a little. I love you son/daughter."

    Then they'd say "I love you too Dad" and we'd go on a mad kaner together.

    Well in fairness the news JUST broke and they're still covering Norway at the same time.

    Very misinformed.

    I don't see anyone making little of drug use. You sound like someone who has heard and believed all the made up horror stories that parents tell their children so they won't use drugs.

    No - just stop spouting stuff that you can't back up? You still don't get it do you? Or you're choosing not to anyway. The stuff you've witnessed is due to drug abuse, not trying drugs/taking a small amount occasionally. You've no doubt witnessed lots of alcohol abuse... do you think that's the same as having a few drinks and just getting a bit tipsy? Because that's what you're saying re drugs, which is of course ridiculous.

    I think you're just jumping to massive conclusions based on one person's death. Perhaps you need to think about the issues in a more mature way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 376 ✭✭laughter189


    At least Amy's death will highlight the fact that drugs are dangerous .

    If only one extra person listens and one life is saved , it will be worthwhile
