And people have pain- physical and/or mental, emotional- that are helped by drugs. Addiction is a disease. It should be treated as such.

You sound like a very compassionate person.

Tell that to people had traumatic experiences despite the fact that they are neither military or law enforcement.

Orcoaba is a vegan. So don't try to be logical. Their kind only knows how to preach not practice humanity. Animals are smarter than them which is why they eat meat. They would rather have compassion for nonhumans.

Do you not understand the word "usually"?
Everyone has traumatic experiences.
Soldiers and cops have them on a loop.

"Addiction is a disease," is the biggest load of bullshit propaganda ever.
Drug use is a choice. Without that initial choice, there is no addiction.

I said nothing about help not being available to people.
But, if I had to choose which to help, I'd choose the dog, because the dog probably didn't lose its family because it was curious about crystal meth.

He could be one of countless military veterans who fought and bled for this country and was told by the government when he got home that they couldn't afford to pay for his benefits because they'd rather use those tax payer dollars to take care of illegal immigrants and people who are able to work but choose not to.

The illegal money is nothing in comparison to the cost of the wars in Iraq, and large tax breaks for large corporations that are labelled "offshore" if illegals are willing to work (most of them are), then that money is invested back into the economy, I do agree the healthcare system (especially veteran healthcare) is extremely flawed, and should be a top priority

all I was saying was that the man is no better than the dog... that's what people seem to forget throughout life and religion... they think the human species is so much better than any other because we walk up right and talk... we think god has blessed us beyond recognition for other living creatures... when in retrospect, were the same as the animal seeing we once were animals in the wild...

Well Said man, well said. A LOT of Veteran's are homeless still, while illegals get a free pass, section 8, welfare, food stamps, medical, etc....

Ok, I'm not saying that illegals deserve that many government benefits and protection and that stuff, but...
a. Most are fleeing from gang, violence and drugs and are looking for a better life
b. Many do hard labor jobs such as working with crops for little or no pay. Someone's gotta do it. Will you?

Yes, and I work with part of the medical system where I see this daily. People have blind support for the Democratic party, but they are directly responsible for causing this issue. Veterans not getting the assistance they need is entirely a Democratic sponsored bill. Illegals getting benefits is a Democratic sponsored policy. All of these policies are hidden inside of bills that were passed as they were attached to issues that were "headliners" so no attention was paid to them. I don't like either side, personally, and my personal views fall in the middle. But nobody can argue facts, and these are the facts. Until these issues become media topics like race and what sex you prefer became, you won't see any solutions.

why do you assume he's a drunk? Because he's homeless?

dumbass

Hey Random pussy... why you mad?

He could have been a victim of the system. You know... Worked a lot, and all his money was given to his boss.
