I may have pressed wrong button and posted this elsewhere,I aplogise if I have.
Dog walking, thinking time.
Why does Radio Scotland in droning voice keep telling us that ex amount of peolple have died thru taking comtaminted heroin? Apparently is contains Anthrax and a few bods have died. Surely, they shouldnt be taking the bloody stuff in the first place.
Thru' no fault of my own,I have been treated for Breast Cancer 4 times and continue on long term stuff to try and keep it at bay. I sometimes have to argue my case to get a more expensive drug which has less side effects.Why should resources which could be spent on me and others like me be used for twats who bring it on themselves? Dont mention, smoking, too much alchohol, obesity either!!! To get into the Chemo Room,you rung the gauntlet of patients hooked up to their treatment fagging it outside,i know they maybe on the way out, but I dont care,but why waste the cash? I know, I know, I shouldnt let it get to me,but it does.

What a horrible thing to say whoisasking - I thought her comment was very tongue in cheek.

You are just proving beyond all doubt that you i) have no sense of humour and ii) no sense of grey areas!

WhoIsAsking · 13/04/2010 13:36

Jesus wept.

LittleMrsHappy · 13/04/2010 13:36

In what way who is asking? , she is probably correct in what she is saying, although I am sitting in the glorious sunshine in by garden while the monkeys play.

Is also thinking people wishing death on another, is a twat! for having a addiction! and 0% intellect!

DramaInPyjamas · 13/04/2010 13:37

I smiled at dustycups comment - probably becaure it is true!
Some people on here have no sense of humour at all.

DramaInPyjamas · 13/04/2010 13:39

above probably (BECAUSE) it is true!

LaurieFairyCake · 13/04/2010 13:41

"The culling of "undesireables" is probably only a few decades away, once the earth's resources start to run out, it's only a matter of time."

Bloody hell Malifience, that just sent chills up my spine

fallon8 · 13/04/2010 13:48

tarty highetc,Yes, i am suggesting that ,i certainly am far more worthy than that and I make my views very plain.One woman I knew , smoked all thru' her chemo, and still continues,how can that be worth the time or money.
No one actaully forces this stuff on to addicts,they choose to do it. I had a tough upbringing too but made the choice not to do that.
if I think my funding is going else where, then like all the other peolple i have come into contact with over the years, we make our views well and truly heard.
Should this happen to, you may wish to step out of your box and stand on it too,because no one else will do it for you.

i wasnt joking!!!!! its true!!
and anyway having a shit sense is better than having no sense of humour whoisasking

harleyd · 13/04/2010 13:51

oh get over yourself love, you are not more worthy
ffs

WhoIsAsking · 13/04/2010 13:55

I do have a sense of humour, cheers. Just not one which extends to laughing at "druggies" and alcoholics.

LittleMrsHappy · 13/04/2010 13:55

fallout your a idiot well and truly, your selfish behavior and attitude is what is wrong with this county, your too simplistic for words.

Cancer or no cancer, it does not give you a get out clause for pathetic-ness and extreme selfishness.

Loads of people have cancer, or had cancer and do not share these views!

your not above or below anybody, you go and think this in that tiny little bubble of yours.

Just because you did not go down that route give you a almighty holiness over people, its pathetic attitude to have and your pathetic in thinking your attitude is "OK"

To wish death on someone is scum!

dustycups · 13/04/2010 13:56

fallon!! i hate the way you say people choose to do it, and you chose not to, ffs!! have you never heard of desperation, when you get to that point when you will do anything to escape the pain!!! your obviously a much stronger person that me and many others but it dont make us lesser people!!!

wastwinsetandpearls · 13/04/2010 13:58

I have had to pay for most of my medical treatment by selling my house as most of the mental health budget in my previous town was taken up treating addictions. I don't know if that is true, it is what I was told by my doctor and a consultant in hospital.

When you may be facing death and money is a factor you do think things that you would not normally think.

fallon8 · 13/04/2010 13:59

eric nor etc. Im not interested in you and your"addictions" ot anyone elses.I am interested in having to fund it tho'
by the sound of it, you know FA about cancer and it long term affect on me and my family,brain, gear,mouth.
I still dont give a toss about how many people have died thru' contaminated drugs. A young man said he would still keep taking methadrone despite the risks and listening to a mother who'se son has just died from it,and many of you would still condone that would you?

LittleMrsHappy · 13/04/2010 14:02

fallout your a idiot well and truly, your selfish behavior and attitude is what is wrong with this county,with me, me and more me, your way of thinking is way too simplistic and unresponsive to any decent comment.

Cancer or no cancer, it does not give you a get out clause for your pathetic attitudes to people less fortunate and in dire situations, I do not believe any addict want to be reliant on any drugs to keep them alive, the same way I am assuming about your cancer drugs!

Your attitude is beyond extreme selfishness and also misconstrued if you think the money saved will go towards you

Loads of people have cancer, or had cancer and do not share these views!

your not above or below anybody, I hope that tiny little bubble is secure!

Just because you did not go down that route give you a right to anything in this world, your holier that you attitude is abismal and disgusting!

To wish death on someone is only word one SCUM!

Sorry had to edit, as dc were clambering all over me and my post was

WhoIsAsking · 13/04/2010 14:04

Shit. Sorry Dustycups - I went away from this thread and then came back and read your flippant post and then wrote something stupid. Apologies.

(can I blame the fact that I'm a bit sensitive about the word "druggy"?)

Sorry again.

Carry on everyone and ignore me.

Kaloki · 13/04/2010 14:08

Dear god, I take back my positive wishes for you! Apparently you are much more worthy than me

paisleyleaf · 13/04/2010 14:08

I didn't think anyone had died from methadrone.

LittleMrsHappy · 13/04/2010 14:09

Whos condoning drugs we just do go down and think they should die, or it should not be funded for them!

I do understand cancer, having watched my own father suffer and die from the disease, I understand the heartache is has on all concerned and not just the suffer!

I can related immensely to a cancer suffer, when my father asked me for a shot gun to ease our pain, not his was gut and heart wrenching to the highest point I threw up their and then!

Even until the last day he still though of us and not himself. He was 41!

Oh did I mention that he was a alcoholic and the NHS didn't have the money to cure him, so he tried to cure himself and died with renal failure by going t-total!

dustycups · 13/04/2010 14:09

ill forgive you whoisasking!

i always consided myself a druggie, so dont mind calling others it, but if it offends you i wont say it again!!

WhoIsAsking · 13/04/2010 14:11

No, no, no.

Don't stop saying it on my account - as I said, I came back to the thread, scan read a bit up, saw your post and the mist descended. Ha! I think it's the fury at the whole "Drug addicts are not worthy" thing which has sent me slightly doolally.

Anyway. Lesson learned for me. MUST READ WHOLE THREAD.

fallon8 · 13/04/2010 14:13

stinky pinky,,,luckily, I do have perfect genes,I do not carry braca 1 and 2, and therefore,hopefully, my daughter, who has to contend with this since she was 6,will not inheirate this disease,neither will her 2 brothers.

Paisleyleaf - there are a significant number of deaths related to methadone every year - if you google methadone related deaths, you will find lots of info specific to whereabouts in the UK/world you are.

Methadon is a substitute given to herion users to try and wean them off the drug. Methadone programms are strictly supervised BUT methadone is still sold on the black market.

Not to be confused with Metha DRONE, which is a different kettle of fish all togetehr and is described I believe as a 'legal high'

DramaInPyjamas · 13/04/2010 14:23

OP obviously posted to gain some sympathy and agreement..
All she has done is made herself out to be a bitter, pathetic, nasty excuse for a human being..

wubblybubbly · 13/04/2010 14:24

"The culling of "undesireables" is probably only a few decades away, once the earth's resources start to run out, it's only a matter of time."

Who decides who the "undersireables" are then?

OP I've got breast cancer too, my DS is just 3. It's a sickening diagnosis, unfair and cruel and I still feel very angry about it. However, it is not a justification for wishing harm to other people with their own issues. YABVU.
