I had friends that would go through an 8-ball in a night (3.5 grams) as a group of 3 and they weren’t that crazy. 7 grams for one person in one night is crazy. 2 8-balls for a him and a bunch of bitches doesn’t sound that insane. Not sure how much he spent, but coke was about $60 a gram in NJ in the late 90’s (the last time I knew about these matters). So he’s probably spending at least $700 for those 2 8balls. Peanuts for him I’d bet.

I mean, those are his fucking children.

I can speak from my own experiences… big time drug addicts arent good parents. They might start off that way and have good intentions but they always mess it up. The addiction always takes precedence over the kids… thats why they’re “addicts” and not just “users”
I dont know about Sheen personally… but like i said, In my experience, big time drug addicts are not good parents.

Whatever happened to his brother?[/quote]
This one time I was at a pay phone, and I saw him walking through the rain. He dipped his head to light his cigarette and the light hit him just right… I lunged out of the phone booth and gushed:
EMIIIIIIIIILIIIIIIIOOOO!!!
He turned towards me and tipped his hat, then turned and sauntered into the darkness, a silhouette among the sinister.
THAT was hilarious. The editing really emphasized how much he is frying himself out. The section of that interview I saw originally was not so bad. He has been looking like a complete has-been old man. In fact I finally concluded he is going full throttle both guns blazing because soon his looks will be completely gone. At this rate so will his ability to act. I figure he is trying to make another 100 million before it is all over and that is what this is about. He already is on record a decade ago for admitting that there are whole scenes in movies he cannot recall performing due to partying later but not while acting. He has partied too hard for too long. At his age to think that lots of blow and chicks other than the mother of your children is what is important suggests he lacks some wisdom. Yes for the uninitiated I grew up in Chicago and was involved in this sort of stuff in my college years. I remember doing my girlfriend and her friend on blow. Blow made me horny and it did so every time all night long. I remember in Kauai it was so pure it actually relaxed me. 7 grams could kill anyone and the truth is he will return to it and it will kill him unless he actually outgrew it recently but that is very doubtful. It is easy to put the booze or the blow down for a while…very hard to leave it there. Immediate gratification, fullfillment and pleasure or the alternative - ho hum living like the people he is putting down. My bet is that Charlie’s spots do not change and he is dead in 5 years.

Rrrrrriiiight.
Because I hear living like a rockstar, banging lots of hot chicks, being ridiculously rich and famous is undesirable…
[/quote]
It would lose it’s appeal real quick. His life is swirling the bowl and you wanting to emulate it. Not saying it wouldn’t be fun for a day or two, but this is honestly not preferable to being a good father. I’m guessing those that say it is are twentysomethings that don’t know shit about what is important.
[/quote]
Just a question though…but aside from the apparent media coverage (that I have missed because I don’t watch tv), why are his exploits so damn interesting to people and why does it bring out all of this judgment?
I mean, do we have a record of how he is as a father or are we just looking at this from the outside?
He’s rich and in Hollywood. Even without the drugs and women, his life was fake anyway.[/quote]
No record. But I guess it’s always fun to assume he’s destroying these kids lives.
[/quote]
That is what I was getting at earlier. People have absolutely no idea if he is a good father or not.
[/quote]
It’s just the stereotypical knee jerk reaction that the general public has whenever they hear that evil four letter word.
Drug(s)
Lol at all the people judging a man they’ve never personally interacted with.

Thanks for the answer.
I think that’s why some celebs get into drugs. Imagine you have money to burn and you’ve gone as far as you can with booze. I guess drugs are the only option.
Well, that or The Lord.
I think once time travel is perfected it will only be used by the mega-rich due to the likely high energy cost…so then we may see a drop in drug-related crimes among celebs but more death by dinosaur or hypermutants (depending on whether they choose to travel to the past or future)

We don’t have any idea what percentage we are seeing, he could be better or worse. I’m not advocating taking his children away.
However, I find it unfathomable that you believe that domestic abuse, rampant drug and alcohol abuse and regularly frequenting prostitutes could make for good parenting, no matter how many bedtime stories he is reading his children.
It really doesn’t matter to me what happens to him, I am just saddened by the people that think his lifestyle is preferable to being a good(ie boring)father.
I was raised in an alcoholic family. It wasn’t boring but you bet your ass I had (have?) issues to work through.

That’s all I’m saying.
Does he do any of this when he has custody of his children?
I’m not making the case that reading bedtime stories would make up for all of the other crap we see, I’m simply stating we have absolutely no idea how he acts around his children.
Looks like Charlie Sheen is available to do a potential reality show after all. In a short statement Monday afternoon, Warner Bros. Television confirmed that after â??careful considerationâ?? it has decided to part ways with its highest rated star.
Additionally, the production company said that it had not yet made a decision about the future of the show.
Two and a Half Men was renewed for two more seasons before Sheenâ??s continued outbursts, as was Sheenâ??s contract. There has been no word on what sort of severance Sheen might receive.
In a text message to the Associated Press, Sheen responded to the news by writing â??they lose,â?? followed by the word â??trolls.â?? Sheen also said that his next move will be â??a big one.â??
The real losers in this potential situation seem to be the cast and crew, but then again they havenâ??t ingested any tiger blood to justify their star power.
Thoughts? Sound off below.
Have a TV question? Check out the latest edition of Ask Amber or follow Amber on Twitter.
So the top paid television actor, who is the highest paid actor, basically parties everyday and bangs the hottest of the hottest girls (Every mans dream, lots of hot girls and lots of money), for the last couple decades or so and all the sudden its a big deal.
LOL at media fail

I think you and me are the only ones on the same page. Hes innocent until proven guilty. If there were bruises on his kids or reports that he directly harming his kids then thats one thing but if people are just speculating that hes a bad parent because of his behavior infront of the media then thats not enough.

innocent until proven guilty? Of course He is guilty don’t you remember when he was in court charged with killing his wife and wife’s boyfriend then He went all crazy and broke ina hotel to steal sporting memorabilia?
What planet are you from? Charlie Sheen is guilty but I think to continue producing two and a half men without him is just plain stupid.

Sounds great but everything gets ‘over-familiar’ and old without additional meaning.
I put the time I have spent fathering my daughter way way above the time I have spent banging chicks. After my divorce I was back at it with younger girlfriends until I realized I was choosing them over my daughter and it made her miserable. I put things back in their proper rank by significance and I am really happy I did that. I start a new contract downtown tomorrow and maybe I will meet the perfect gal - I really do not care. I am over all that external validation crap. I have a fantastic relationship with my daughter and I have her every single weekend and she has been opting for additional week nights here as well.
I think Charlie might be a great father - We do not know but his life is clearly about the goals of a younger man and he may look back and realize he blew it when it comes to family.
