Reply #92: no FFS, the drunk didn't choose to have a disease that affected his brain

[pitohui]

i think many people honestly don't understand what addiction is, they live in a dream world where the drunk has a choice in his actions

the drunk is a slave and the majority of alcoholics/drug addicts are not cured, we don't have effective treatments

the death penalty is too harsh, the drunk didn't ask to be what he was or to pretty much have his brain taken over by an alien substance

think about if it was you, or if you can't imagine that because you won the genetic lottery, think about if it was someone you cared about, because addiction is so prevalent in our genes, almost everyone knows someone who can't beat alcohol

most drunk drivers hurt no one but themselves, yes, there has to be punishment when a life is taken, but the death penalty is too much
