And for the record, tolerance can only happen with disapproval. If you approve of something, you can’t be tolerant of it, because you already agree. The fact that I disapprove of all the drug use and still go out of my way to help is the most f-ing tolerant thing a person can do. Part of the problem in today’s culture is this idiotic confusing of tolerance and condoning. They are almost opposites. If you want to talk about not having a choice, I don’t freaking choose the way people make me feel. I don’t choose the natural reactions of eye roles and sighs. What I do have control of is dragging myself out of bed, racing to the scene and physically doing all in my power to help. Intolerant my fucking ass. That is dumb and hypocritical beyond words.
Are you looking for approbation for doing your job?
Just because everybody else does it doesn’t make it right.
Yes, because you can blame that fat bastard for being diabetic, so it’s okay to “role” (sic) your eyes.
You might want to consider a change in vocation. Just sayin’.
Not my vocation, and I never claimed it was anyone’s fault asshole. And if people like me didn’t do it in the areas I’ve lived, then people just don’t get care. Unlike you some of us actual believe in providing poor people care enough to do more than post about it on a forum, even the people they don’t like.
Whatever, you’ve proven yourself highly judgmental and hypocritical. I entered into a discussion with you because you seemed reasonable, but you’ve lost all credibility and respect. I’ll leave you to your irrational judgmental hypocrisy.
Then why do you “role” (sic) your eyes and sigh like a bitch? Because it’s not their fault?
That’s pretty judgmental Bro.
I should have known you were a fucking volunteer. I’ve noticed most volunteers are glory hounds that got picked on in grade school. What, the fire department wouldn’t take you?
Hope you got all of the name calling out of your system. Thanks for the afternoon’s entertainment.
AHAHA! Now you’re going to assume I’m and EMS volunteer (I’m not (nor was I the one claiming you shouldn’t ever judge people)) and then judge and insult all EMS volunteers, stay classy. You keep defending tolerance and not judging people by insulting and judging all the people out there voluntarily offering free emergency assistance. I’d go on, but your own insulting words to a plethora of heroes (not me) speaks for itself.
Actually, I wasn’t speaking of volunteers, just you. And I love it when the DoubleDouche calling me an asshole admonishes me to stay classy. That’s rich.
The whole EMS thing started with you trying to use some pathetic Homeric simile to prove an esoteric point. The poor execution isn’t surprising when considering the source.
“most volunteers are glory hounds that got picked on in grade school”. Okay, gotcha bud.
I am 100% positive that you have never know or interacted with anybody whose bodies are addicted to opiate based pain medication.
The word vomit that you just spewed out is why people are afraid to ask for help. That and doctors prescribing Percocet and Oxycontin with zero regard for how people will become physically dependent.
You sir, need to be quiet when discussing something you clearly have no experience beyond what you heard in church.
And you sir are 100% wrong I know it intimately. And I know that it was a choice he made The Only Exception is when the doctors addict you. I’ll give you that one. but even then Prince had the resources to rehabilitate himself and did not do it. He made the choice to stay an addict. I’m sorry you think people are so helpless, but they’re not. You are the master of your own destiny, you are not controlled by a drug.
You’re laughable,
But, at least you recognize yourself for what you are.
This demonstrates your ignorance.
“most volunteers are glory hounds that got picked on in grade school.”
Repetition - the refuge of the ignorant.
Ah, the “ignore the incontrovertible evidence to the contrary of your claim and get mad at the people who bring up the facts” defense. Either you meant the insult to most volunteers or you are a liar. Either way you’ve openly confirmed my assertion of being an asshole.
I don’t blame you for getting mad though. If I’d said something that ignorant, intolerant and idiotic about some of the best people I wouldn’t like anybody to bring it up either.
You’re right we’re all just helpless pawns we don’t make choices life is done to us.
If the surgery dates given were correct, he was early on in his addiction and may not have fully realized what was happening.
This could possibly be one of the most ignorant things I have read on here in my 18 years on this site. You clearly do NOT know what he was dealing with intimately or you would have never written this.[quote=“verne, post:69, topic:217292”]
You are the master of your own destiny

In most instances correct.
Again, clearly you do not know anything “intimately” about chasing the dragon.
Just because you say it doesn’t make it true. You’re the intolerant racist and your over reaction to the subject confirms your guilt,
With respect to prevarication, again, it’s you that has misrepresented the facts, intimating a profession other than one in which you are not engaged.
The ultimate revenge is that I am not you. Yippee.
Have a nice life you miserable fuck.
And, I’m not mad. Rather, I am amused by your laughable logic and childlike outlook.
Well, that escalated quickly.
He got his feelings hurt when I called him intolerant. I’m such a meanie.
Nope, the only thing I ever took offense to you’d notice, if you were literate, was your constant stream if insults against EMS workers.
Your simultaneous coddling of poor innocent drug addicts whom have no choice in their addiction while insulting the motivations and childhood struggles of the people out there helping addicts not die is more than a little baffling. You’ve successfully gone past asshole and narrowed yourself down to idiot or troll. Maybe one too many tokes? I think you should probably seek some help if you’re serious or quit trolling.
