You just defined yourself as being selfish, relegating others to obscurity and despair just because you don't think they're worth helping. Who the hell do you think you are to decide that about other people? They're sick and in need of help, and if you'd deny them that because you don't think they deserve a chance at redemption then you are absolutely selfish, not to mention remarkably full of yourself.
Not everyone can necessarily be saved, but every life is worth trying to save anyway, no exceptions.

Some people aren't worth helping and some people are simply beyond help. That's not selfish, that's just plain fact. Sorry, but I have an extremely black and white view of drug use. Working with users for 4 years did nothing but fill me with contempt. As I said, I'm not selfish but I do draw the line at feeling sympathy for people like that.

You're also disgusting. Please do everyone a favor & never go into any kind of public service position ever again. You seem to be an icily hateful individual & no person, drug user or not, should have to be subjected your borderline personality disorder treatment.

Edited by Lucius Aelius: 12/23/2015 3:34:47 PMWho the -blam!- are you to decide certain people aren't worth helping? No one has the right to decide that, not you, not me, not anybody. You're right that some people are beyond help, but there's no way for us to know who those people are without trying our best to help everyone, and if you don't agree then you're more a part of the problem than drug abusers. At least drug abusers have the excuse of being brain-addled to explain their behavior, what's your excuse for being such a shitty excuse for a human being? There's far more self-centered people like you than drug abusers, and it's people like you who think they know better and are better than other people that stop so much important work from being done in the world, all because you're too self-centered to be bothered to care or help anyone other than yourself and your own loved ones. People all over the world need to help each other more, not less, with NO EXCEPTIONS, that cannot be stressed enough. We are not gods, it is not our place to decide who should be helped and who shouldn't be, we couldn't possibly know enough to be able to decide that, and if you are actually deluded enough to think you can than you and people like you are one of the biggest things wrong with this world, far more so than a handful of smackheads who can't get their shit together without help, and maybe not even then but at least we can help them and see who can be saved by trying. Nothing else would be humane. And for the record I'm an atheist, I don't believe in helping others because some God says so, I believe in it because it's the good, right and humane thing to do, and it is whether you like it or not.
