Breaking Bad....Only in America
#51
RE: Breaking Bad....Only in America
Ah, that is one of my complaints of the show is that it doesn't show the effects of meth on the body. I mean there's that scene where the kid is in the house with the addicted parents and they have sores all over them - yet he never develops those sores, nor do his friends. Meth does rot your flesh including skin and gums, your teeth fall out etc, certainly not as bad as Krokodil (I just looked it up those photos are horrible), but it does have a rotting effect and that your organs are slowly eaten away.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

The show wasn't meant to be a an ultra realistic documentary on meth and what effect it has on the body. I think you're maybe looking at it from too literal of an angle.

...and a far less offensive product.

Maybe this has been mentioned, but...WW didn't even want treatment. He got into meth to leave money for his family.
