People say all of the same things about alcoholics and drug addicts. It's defect with the person, they're irresponsible, they lack self-respect and discipline, they're just bad parents — I've heard literally all of these about substance abusers.
So for me, this comment doesn't seem to highlight differences as much as similarities.
- logicprog 7y agoExcept that you can have a chemical dependancy in alcohol or drugs, so if you want to, you can realistically argue that continued addiction is the drug or alcohol's fault. How does that work for continued addiction Facebook? And if we're talking about how the addiction started, yes, if you get addicted it is your fault, if you knew there was even a remote possibility of getting addicted. If someone decided to poke a beehive, is the resulting sting the bee's fault, or the stick's, or is it theirs?
