Philip Seymour Hoffman is dead

[LeadRoundNose]

I'd like see how the nasty liars here can compare with him and his accomplishments.

I'll wager that most of them will manage to accomplish getting through their lives without being found dead with a heroin needle stuck in their arm.

Then it was a murder, not an overdose.

The police are looking for the dealer that sold Hoffman the heroin laced with painkiller that's been killing so many users on the East coast. It's a wonder it hasn't spread across the country by now. Hoffman had 70 packets of the stuff. He must have been afraid he would run out.

It was fifty.



Yes it is. Oxycontin and Vicodin are so much better.

Oh really.

really. in order to cause problems it has to be much more than a small bubble.

Go on believing that.

In the interests of accuracy, Hoffman had 70 heroin packets.

I see four who presumably supplied Hoffman with heroin have been arrested. Source: 4 arrested in Philip Seymour Hoffman drug probe - CNN.com

So, that is a good, but it makes me wonder if the police would expend this much effort to analyze details, find and round up suppliers to a more typical drug abuser found dead in a rough section of the Bronx with a needle in their veins?

This death is tragic for the Hoffman family, but no more so than the family of a non-celebrity.

No. New York is very liberal and does not regard drug dealing as a violent crime but a business transaction between two willing parties.

The liberal response is ultimately going to be to legalize heroin use, tax it, and regulate it so that the streets don't fill with adulterated product.

Bullshit.

Nothing but self-serving fiction.

That's true of most of the world but its a sideways slip and does not address my comment. Most of us will not accomplish what he did. And, of course, most who do an accomplished life will not die of a heroin overdose.

My point still stands - that the nasty haters don't accomplish anywhere near what he did and yet, they believe themselves to be somehow better. They're not. They're just haters.

Democrats have been trying to legalize heroin for a while now.

This will just be more ammunition for liberals.

Thousands of junkies die every year, and nobody gives a rats ass. But when a famous liberal OD's it's, oh how sad.

You have it wrong. As I explained earlier in this very thread, it's not the drug over dose people mourn. It's the contribution of the departed. When someone famous dies, no matter the circumstance, it's not the circumstance that is regretted, but the loss of the contributor to society.

Politics has nothing to do with it. In 2008 when Charlton Heston died, I did not mourn him for his politics, but for his art. What a pity it is that some small minded people fly their politically partisan flags at eye level. That tends to blind them to so much more.

Don't assume that addiction and genius are mutually exclusive traits.

actually a lot of real geniuses have been using drugs or having other "dark side" in their lives - strong will and talent have nothing in common.

Go on believing that.

I do not have to beleive it. I know. But you may go on beleiving the small bubble in a needle is going to kill ya

it takes more then a small bubble to cause

a vapor lock in the heart

I know.

When a celebrity dies of a drug overdose the manifestations of their accomplishments should be stripped from them.

But Repubs should get a pass for doing drugs on the tax payer's money, right?

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/11/trey-radel-florida-republican-cocaine-bust.html

Rep. Trey Radel, the 37-year-old freshman congressman from Florida who once said, "Tupac is what I'ma be listening to in my car," was charged last month for cocaine possession. Politico reports that Radel was hit with a misdemeanor in Washington, D.C., on October 29, and is due in court Wednesday. It's like Rob Ford meets Florida Man meets Rep. Peter Russo from House of Cards.

If he were black, he'd be in jail and my bet is that you're just fine with that too.

LOL, do you want us to make a list of Drug of using Negro politicians too? I'm really not in the mood but we can if you prefer.

I am, by no means, an expert on addicts.

However, when I became a Staff Sergeant, I had to attend extensive courses on recognizing and counseling addicts.

Several things were give to us. An addict is someone who lacks will power and self esteem and uses drugs as a crutch.

No addict will ever stop unless and until they want to!

There is only one way to stop an addition and that is TO STOP! Cold turkey and once and for all.

During my 22 years in the Army, I actually only encountered three "addicts". All three fit the profile and the only one who actually kicked the habit was the one who actually recognized that she had become addicted and had the guts to quit. It wasn't easy and she went through a lot of agony, but she had a support group to help and, last I know, she was clean.

I personally was addicted to tobacco. Smoke 2.5 to 3 packs a day for many years. I knew I was addicted but just didn't want to give it up. Couldn't see the problem.

One morning, I found myself coughing up bright pink blood into the bathroom sink. Did so again around noon and by afternoon, my wife drove me to the emergency room. Went into the hospital for four days, learning I had pneumonia, and was discharged. 15 years later, after quitting cold turkey, I have not had the slightest desire for another cigarette.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up... don't wanna overdose?... don't do the drugs. Duh.
