Its called compassion. You really want someone judging you when you're at your lowest point in life and making a terrible mistake?

One of the problems we're having is our compassion is being weaponized against us. We're being told to use it in a way that's hurting society. Compassion without thoughtfulness and just laws is a vice. That's where California is deeply mired at today, and they want the rest of the country to slide off into that abyss as well.

Those who have perpetrated this evil against us have oh so much to answer for. I hope to be around to see it delivered.

Enabling bad behavior is not compassion. It is quite the opposite. I'm all for helping someone that's fallen on hard times. That means helping them get back up. Those that don't make an effort to get back up have chosen their lifestyle and we shouldn't enable it in the slightest.

Giving out narcan is just the same as offering abortions. You want to use recreational drugs? Suffer the consequences. You want unprotected casual sex? Suffer the consequences. Stop enabling bad behavior.

You did read what I wrote, right? I never condone bad behaviour and in fact said

"Compassion without thoughtfulness and just laws is a vice."

Some people are drawn into that world for any number of reasons, but that shouldn't make it a death sentence. Its not the drug users sole fault, especially when the government built the system that creates the trap they're in. Enablement isn't compassionate and California's a perfect example.

If you won't judge me at my worst, then you don't deserve to judge me at my best.

What does that even mean? Why would someone be judging whether you live or die at your "best"?

Think about this... Say you're trapped in your car after a wreck, and its on fire. Someone runs up to help you out, but stops and goes "Convince me you deserve to live. Maybe the wreck was your fault, so you deserve this?" Sound like a good idea?
