I’m sorry I didn’t mean to sound argumentative. You are making a lot of good points. If I’m understanding you’re saying that people who have a higher risk for drug addiction could suffer from addiction after being exposed to it in a completely legal and legitimate setting (example dentist pulled your teeth and you got prescribed codeine, you liked how it numbed your emotional state, and now you want to use it to cope with your other non-related mental issues)?
Long fingernails digging inside a vaginal canal are not the same thing as a woman letting her genital hair grow to its natural length… one will cause pain and bleeding and possible infections. Other is maybe you’ll get it in your mouth sometimes…
Thanks for taking the time to do that for us
Doing street drugs or abusing prescription drugs is completely different from being put under anesthesia or having a dentist numb your mouth. They’re two different animals.
I have sympathy for homeless people but I also realise they aren’t all good, harmless innocents (just like those who are lucky enough to have a home aren’t all good).
Some encampment activities were difficult to talk about — a disturbed camper throwing feces over the 97 Street bridge on unsuspecting passersby and cars.
Gangs are preying on vulnerable campers, setting up “taxation” tents like trolls under bridges, demanding payment for the use of safe consumption sites, or a chance to visit an agency to get free needles, or pick up a cheque
A 16-year-old girl was being sex-trafficked around the encampments. She was found in hospital with 75 per cent burns — under an alias.
They were sex trafficking a child, setting up wires to behead cyclists… those aren’t good people.
But yeah the solution isn’t to shuffle them into prison. They need homes.
“It’s worth every dollar. These are human lives. By making this new investment, we are going to put individuals on a new trajectory in life,” he [the mayor] said, adding that city staff are hearing from other municipalities across Ontario and the rest of Canada, as many grapple with how to deal with homelessness.
There is a security hub, washrooms and showers separate from the units, and a service room. One of the 50 units has a toaster, toaster oven and microwave. Laundry is done off site. An indoor community space, which will include a kitchenette and laundry facilities, is not open yet.
Each unit, which costs $21,150 to build, comes with a bed, bedding, mini fridge, smoke alarm, personal heater, air conditioning unit, and storage space. The units are side by side, with a door at the front and a window at the back.
How is it different? He profited from it, did he not? Shouldn’t you feel bad or guilty for watching movies he got money from producing or having his name/company attached to, by your own logic?
Sounds like with that one specific incident it was that chick being shitty at her job. I’m a female and have had female mental health providers treat me like garbage too. It’s not a woman vs man thing. Some people are just shit humans regardless of their sex.
Do you not watch or enjoy any of the movies that Harvey Weinstein had his name or company attached to? Cuz it’s a shit load of films and stuff you are saying people shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy without being judged for it because that guy was a monster.
