    I just feel sorry for his kids. A fatherless Christmas isn't something I would wish on anyone.
    Well it is really, because as we are being told without drug users there would be no drug trade so if u use or buy
    drugs u are partly responsible for the misery murder and mayhem that surrounds the trade. This guy was in the
    public eye and on his show carried out many segments through the years vilifying drugs and all associated with
    them, thats just sheer hypocrisy
    Blatant promotion should be outlawed
    but

    Not necessarily.

    You could argue that he knew full well the damage the drug was doing.

    The guy obviously had troubles. Who are we to judge?

    Well, what would happen if he fully condoned drug use, and admitted his own use? He would lose his job, that's what. He may be a hypocrite but he's not stupid. I, too, would vilify drug use live on air and I'm sure he felt like he needed to - it's not socially acceptable to use drugs and to portray drugs as anything other than repugnant is seen as disgusting by the public. He was hardly going to say how much craic drugs are on-air and risk losing his job.

    Do you think people really think about the Peruvian family enslaved by the drug trade while they horse cocaine up their nose? Of course not. As the old saying goes: "Out of sight, out of mind". It's sad but true!

    I am probably a tad too liberal to be having this debate with anyone, anyway.

    I 100% agree with u that people dont care,we are just a selfish society full of selfish people who dont care about
    anything or anybody once we are ok ourselves and get our buzz . The thing is we see where we have ended up
    at the moment with our greed and selfishness ,and dont think for one minute that it is not all connected,all just
    another sympthom of the malaise we now live in
    Blatant promotion should be outlawed

    I find life exceedingly simple, u make choices u fuck up tis ure mess,u clean it up ureself ,dont be looking for excuses or trying to pass the buck and the thing is im extremly happy 99.9% of my days are good, thankfully my health is excellent,im solvent,i work
    hard and i enjoy it and as u obviously know nothing about me i can also tell u when i socalise i am generally considered the life
    and soul of the party and i can achieve this without artifical stimulation( i dont smoke,drink or do drugs)
    And in case ure wondering ive had plenty of challenges in life and everything i have i have gotten the hard way
    So dont be a bit worried about me,u see i just describe the world as it is, im practical i say it as i see it , the world is one big
    sewer and i have to live in it i dont have a choice, so i get on with it ,but i wont look at it through rose tinted glasses as so many
    want to do. Lift the corner of that massive carpet and brush all in under it
    Blatant promotion should be outlawed

    Well now respect mmmmmmmmmm? we wont go there u see cause id say id end up with an infraction.
    I actually know lots about life cause ive had some serious knocks but the thing is if i get a good innings im
    at least half way through so im not going to get too bothered about the whole thing as nobody has got out
    alive yet.

    Giving real respect and giving the impression that u are respectful are entirely different things enuf said i think

    a man could not be happy with such an imbalanced perception
