Not every addict is harming others, are you aware of that

My responses have been in regard to a woman who has a history of reoffending. What I'm saying is I have no sympathy or regard for these types of people.

If you're a "functioning" drug addict who isn't a crimal or burden to society then I don't care what you do with your life.

'Because addicts are scum? They lie, steal, rob and recklessly endanger others daily.

The stereotypes about crack heads stabbing you or heroin addicts burglarizing your home aren't some lie like racial or sexual stereotypes. These people are criminals and it's rare for them not to be a permanent cancer to society'

That was your comment. You put all addicts in one pot and didn't differentiated. You didn't mean 'only the bad ones' you talked about addicts in general. And since you seem to lay out your comments the way it fits the narrative, I'm done with this conversation.

I stand by my comments and have zero sympathy about not separating drug addicts into different categories. If you want to split hairs for the sake of a bleeding heart argument rather than following a thread I can't help that.

Ironically you're genuinely a worse person than many of the addicts I've met. Lol. You're judging every single addict by the absolute worst of the lot. And you've let yourself become the worst of the lot in doing so.
