[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad, but I'm not sure she was very talented.  Her song "Rehab" was fun because it was ironic to see someone in a Beehive singing on a Phil Spector-like song singing about rehab.  Unfortunately it appears that she was being literal.  She was a druggie who refused to change, and somehow she got lucky enough to be put in a hairdo and on a record.

She sure squandered an opportunity in life, and I don't have much respect for that.[/quote]

Addiction is a terrible disease, and it is really sad when it kills.  Unfortunately, it kills lots of people - but we really get a look at it when someone famous dies.  It is a mental issue though, and although we tend to feel like addicts should just kick the habit, it's really hard and requires a lifetime of work.  Plus, it's really hard to convince an addict they need to change while in the midst of their habit.  Overall I think blaming the addict is just as bad as blaming someone who is depressed for not "snapping out of it".  [/quote]

That's the best thing about people with zero empathy.  Everything's a cut-and-dried moral issue...that is until their child ends up with an addiction problem.  Then suddenly it's a personal tragedy that we all should care about.

It's also one of the reasons I find American strain of conservativism so revolting.[/quote]
