You have to submit to addiction. After that, you've made your choice.
Using the concept of "addiction" to justify anyone's actions is bullshit though.
If you like a bit of the smack (or whatever the fave of the kids is these days) and you go mug someone to get the cash for that? That's you making the direct moral choice that your enjoyment is more important than someone else.
Addiction has become a catchall excuse for any bad behviour when it's up to everyone to be personally responsible.
Is Harvey Weinstein a poor misunderstood sex addict, or a rapist sex pest who's trying to excuse his morally repugnant behaviour?

Tell me, if a child gets addicted to smack who's fault is it?
Is it the child or the scumbag that targeted them and got them hooked?

Opiate abuse is a socio-economic issue. Look at the reasons for people abusing not the people doing it. There's a reason that opiate abuse is pretty much constrained to one class in the UK and that's nothing to do with people pushing or otherwise, its because of a lack of education, lack of social mobility and lack of opportunity (all of which you Brexitwunts have made worse). The dealer in nearly all cases was a user first.
Comparing Opiate abuse to having a ciggie isn't quite as stupid as cerebus' false equivalence, but it's getting there.

What a lot of bollocks you spout.
Smack is the cat's pyjamas and is no respecter of class or socio-economic status.

The relationship between deprivation and drug abuse has been proven time and time again, call bollocks all you want.

And the fact that there are lots of drug addicts who don't suffer from adverse socioeconomic circumstances is also well documented you stupid boring cunt.

Are you two really arguing the difference between
statistics (Div) and the fact that statistics are irrelevant to the individual (Pruf)?

The main thrust of my argument is:
Dinny is a cunt.

ladies and gentlemen of the jury
I say that there is a cunt in this room. And I shall not shirk my duty to blind justice to name that man.
Mr Prufock - Do you see the cunt in this court room?
And are you sure - beyond a reasonable doubt - that is to say what the man on the Clapham omnibus would understand -that he is *the* cunt?
Then please point him out to the jury, and describe to these good ladies and gentlemen *why* he is a cunt.
