Because of the prevalence of opiate use, all of us should take a few minutes out of our lives to watch the video.

Okay, I'll be your attending curmudgeon for this evening:
WHY should I intervene if a doper wants to kill him/herself with an overdose? "Saving a life" is just postponing the inevitable.

As someone who has had occasion to be prescribed large amounts of codone based narcotics for various ailments/surgeries in and out of the service, I can say with some authority that, when on one's own and caring for one's self, it can be quite easy to lose track of when you took your last dose and when you should take your next dose as you still hurt a good deal even though, according to observers, you were already as high as a kite. Do that enough and you are well overdosed. Me? I just got mad at a Coke machine when it took my money and didn't give my drink. I broke the machine and fractured my hand when I punched it (I did get my drink). I didn't know till the next morning when I woke with a sore hand and someone told me what I did.

Mate, my daughter has attempted suicide eight times over the past year and a half. She's in another country, so there was no way for me to intervene (or not) in any of the incidents. She was "saved" each time, a few of them by what could be classified as "heroic" measures. From a Christian perspective, I have to wonder if the various EMTs and doctors who saved her each time did her any favors.
Kindly don't presume to lecture me about my religion. You have no idea who any of us are or what we've been through.

The same applies to you and all those "dopers" that you don't know but are willing to pass judgment on.

I can't believe I'm the one calling for calm but, come on guys, Please cease poking each other with the sharp sticks of religion, family and personal experiences that differ from your own.
Please?
