I still feel that part of the mass hate for him on this board comes from people who just want to kick someone who's down. An easy target.
I used to feel sympathy for him. I thought he was just a different but harmless guy who had lost his way. Now, I'm not so sure.
Honestly I don't know how I feel about addiction and personal accountability. Sometimes I feel like....you have to take responsibility and get your shit together but then a different part of me is like.....maybe that's too harsh? Maybe people like that need love and guidance, not disdain and judgement? But when you've fucked up your life and the world's shitting on you and you KNOW you're making bad decisions, who's fault is it if you're still not changing your ways? Are some addicts just incapable of it?
idk. There was a time when I was kind of in his shoes. But then again, we're just very different people.
Sometimes people come along and they want to change things. I am one of those people and I will assist in furthering our country for the better. - Xsquader
