Soory about your loss but it has nothing ethically to do with most mongers on this site.
Don't quite know what you mean by "do not turn your back on someone in need"
However, although an addict would do well by going into rehab, get some treatment , etc., etc., etc, if the addict is a she and doesn't take that route, she would be better off getting the $ for her fix from someone like me instead of some disease infected dirt bag who is only interested in getting the most from her, possibly cheating her on the fee she charges and dropping her off in the middle of now where w/o holding up his end of the deal.
Just sayin.
I can't agree more with everything you've said. Any parent in his situation would rather it be me, with a warm clean car, a bill of good health, every intention of feeding her at the drive thru if she'll eat, and dropping her off safely where i picked her up. I may try and bargain with her, I'm only human myself, but she will absolutely walk away with money, and unharmed.
Now, let's see what he's up to...AMPs if i recall correctly...i wonder... has he vetted all those women he's had illegal contact with too make sure every single one of them are there of their own free will? B/c if not, i say shame on HIM. While his son was an addict, and as you stated, i am very sorry for his loss, his son had a choice, all he had to do was want to get clean, and stick to it, thousands of addicts do this daily, that's a fact, whereas, these poor women, forced into slavery, have no choice. So, my point is, there's a place for his kind of rhetoric against us mongers who choose to see addicts, and it's not here, especially while he's wallowing down in the mud with the rest of us.
