Irrational to not want to needle exchange dedicated to helping these people extend their addictions? I am 16 & I haven't smoked a single cig. People do this to themselves, and if it gets them killed then good riddance! The last thing we need is needle exchanges that encourage this sort of behavior. The best thing to do is just let them kill themselves. Rid ourselves of this filth!
So I'm filth?

And a degenerate?

I imagine there is something analogous in Atheism.
Well not in atheism, nothing's really in atheism [literally], but amongst atheists, I imagine we do. I usually use whatever it was that kept me from not being in that situation.

Other than bring people out of desperate situations and elevate them so they may become working, functioning, productive members of society, thus benefiting the whole?
You use individualism, and then you use the plural "us."
Which is it? Forced YOU to carry the weak, personally? Or forced EVERYONE to carry the weak? If it's everyone, why do YOU care, Mister Individualism? Is the fraction of a penny your tax dollar, and everyone elses tax dollar, goes to towards providing medical assistance and rehabilitation facilities for people who overdose from a drug they could have taken for any number of reasons really something you're missing?
Wait, you're 16. You don't even pay any taxes. And you never smoked a cigarette, eh? Good for you, that'll go away in about five years when you're working, I imagine... Back to the topic at hand, though, when you've experienced the world for yourself, and not under the sheltered, pampered little existence your mommy and daddy provide for you, or IF you ever experience it, you'll begin to understand.
Until then, you'll have to forgive me for sneering in derisive contempt at your screen name and your posts when you say I am a lowlife and degenerate, because the hell, trials, and tribulations I've gone through and overcome make me far more of a man, far more worthy, far more powerful, far more respectable, far more resilient, and far more acutely aware of reality than you ever will be. Your warm, cozy little existence will leave you shivering in the howling cold that awaits you once you need to leave mommy and daddy's shelter, whereas I've not only gone past the part where I killed the wolf and wore its fur, I LOVE the biting, painful, bitter cold. It's my world, my home.
Who is truly the degenerate lowlife? The man who becomes addicted to a drug he took to numb the pain of a tortured life, survives a fatal dose of, overcomes, and eventually removes from his life in spite of the fact he is fighting against the tide? Or the child who passes judgment on others, an armchair moral authority, without having any insight or understanding to what his counterpart experiences?
I think we all know the answer. Don't we.
