- dctoedt 7y ago> Could you explain in more detail why people who want to get high deserve to die? They don't deserve to die — but it brought to mind when one of my (intolerant) relatives once described comparable behavior as "flunking the too-stupid-to-live test." Which in turn brings to mind that the Darwin Awards don't seem to get much publicity these days; perhaps it's to avoid encouraging daredevil idiocy? I guess the awards are still a thing: https://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2018.html https://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2018.html
- univalent 7y agoNot people who just want to get high. Heck, I do that myself. Just seems extreme folly to have poisonous snakes bite you on the tongue. Right near the brain.
- idDriven 7y agoI would argue its a combination of miserable life circumstances and lack of availability of better options. Have you ever heard of the drug Krocodile? It's most prevalent in Russia, a cocktail of horrible chemicals cooked down with a little codeine. It's a death sentence if you use it for a year, and not a nice death either (consider this a massive understatement). Even the people who use it know this, they just lost the will somewhere along the way to care.
