What are people thinking when...

[starchief]

I watch a lot of Live PD and crime programs and see a lot of ways people screw up their lives. It got me thinking. What are people thinking when they first say ...

1 I think I'm going to give this meth a try.
2 I think I'm going to give this heroine a try.
3 I think I'm going to get a tattoo on my face..

 

[Glenn's Take]

My parents hate me so this will teach them.

 

[rmattox]

They are thinking: "This is what it takes for me to feel good/happy about my life".
Everything we do, we do because we believe it will give us what we want.

Too many times. Why not be the parent you didn't have and end the cycle?

Sadly enough, I really do think I'm right on this one.

Yes, and equally sadly, more so perhaps, those parents have it coming

Thinking?

Most people livin check to check

Drux make u feel good

Cant get ahead so mofos risk they freedom

Courts dont really lay down the law

Prisons/jails are a burden on tax payers... way too costly to house drug addicts small time dealers/users & petty crime thieves

Rehab & mental health facilities are lacking proper resources

 

[TurnipDaBeet]

Aint tough enough on REAL crimes

REAL bad people

Sheeeeiiit

Pretty sure it always starts when Lori with the big tits hands you the crack pipe, needle, etc... The tattoo is a result of the first two

I had a buddy explain alcoholism to me like this one time...

Ya know that feeling you get when you've had too many drinks? Not like just a drink too many, like a few too many drinks and now the night is going tits up in a hurry? Well, you don't like that feeling, do ya? Spinning, out of control, sick, dicombobulated... And the whole game with drinking is to play right up to that feeling w/o actually feeling it, right? Well, alcoholics actually LIKE, if not love, that feeling. It's exactly what they chase and why you can't understand it. End of discussion.

2 I think I'm going to give this heroine a try.

That's the bad one right there. I banged Lara Croft one time and the next thing you know, Brad Pitt is doxing me on face twit.

2 I think I'm going to give this heroine a try.

They’re prolly thinking something like, “I’m gonna try dating a courageous, admirable woman with near super-human qualities, instead of the slutty crack whores towards which I usually gravitate.”

I guess the answer to my other questions is what I did when I saw that I had misspelled heroin (I actually did). I said to myself, "That's not right and I'll probably pay for it, but screw it."

I blame, in reverse chronological order, video games, rap music, heavy metal music, psychedelic music, beat poets, Elvis Presley's hips.

After dealing with these people for years, the only "reasonable " reason i can come up with is, their life, in their opinion, is so bad, this helps them get througjh their miserable day to day life. In this day and age, everyone knows what Meth and Heroin do to you, and yet, people continue to try them.

Yeah - sucks living in America in 2020. No fear of starvation, freezing to death, armed marauders taking your land. Just awful.

I don't think you can blame Elvis' hips, unless you saw him live and in person when he could still move his hips (pre-army). They didn't show that disgusting stuff on tv back in those days.
