  1. Once again it's not black and white. Use can can become worse leading down even worse paths especially if there are additional issues to deal with. Poor use can create these additional problems whether they be mental or physical. That one page is meant to help alleviate that so that seeking help and/or quiting is more likely.

    Also, heroine addicts aren't a closed system, they affect themselves and those around them. You might not even be able to tell if someone is one just by looking at them. They could be cooking your food, teaching our children, cleaning your teeth, having sex with you... Unless of course you watch too much TV and think they just crash out in drug houses and in hallways of run down apartment buildings...

    I may be wrong, but the ones that AREN'T crashing out in drug houses, and hallways of run-down apartments are the ones that know how to do it right, and have it under control (as much as a drug such as heroin can be controlled) and can shoot up properly, therefore making this page of information only applicable to the ones that are the least likely to see it.

    I dunno, I guess the worst ones in the bigger picture are the ones that get others hooked on it. From what I've been told by a family member of an addict, the high only comes the first time or so that they do it. From then on out the use is to attempt to get back to a "normal" state, and away from the severe withdraw symptoms. For someone to get someone into something they know is so bad is out of my understanding. I don't have it in me to drag others down to my level if they're doing better. I'd rather have them pull me up to help me get to a better level.

  2. Because the other issues can hinder quiting...or worse.

    Death=quitting. Problem solved. Sorry, but if someone does something as dangerous as heroin and dies from it, I have no sympathy for the person. For the family and friends that are left behind I absolutely sympathize with.

  3. Once again the point is missed. It's not let me show you how to do it right, it's let me show you how to do this more safely so you don't die (or worse) before being able to quit. The whole context is seeking help, not making things worse and eventually quiting. It's not a since you're already doing it thing.

    I get your point, but it IS a "since you're already doing it, do it right" thing. I don't see how it can't be! I get that the whole premise is to encourage quitting, and this is to help try to reduce some of the difficulties that go along with the use, while seeking help quitting. I don't see WHY it should even be in the same pamphlet!

    Again, I get the idea, but I think it needs to stick to the ROOT PROBLEM of heroin use, not reduce the "sideline" problems that go with it. Do you get what I'm saying? I'm not asking you to agree, I just feel as though the same thing keeps being said because we don't think the other understands what is being said!

  4. So your failure is my fault? Please.

    :wtf: I don't get you there man....

    Plenty of people think I'm wrong, but those people are usually dealing with my opinions rather than facts. My opinions are mine, if people don't agree, that's their business.

    Even when proven wrong, you don't give up, from what I've seen.

    Are you passing this advice on because it worked for you? I wondered what the secret to your "looseness" was.

    Nice try at humor, and at taking a jab at me! You're getting there!

    So, if you're so anti-social, what are you doing on a board that's a bunch of people that joke around, get together to ride, etc....? Not complaining, just curious....

  5. and once again you also miss the point. The whole point of the pamphlet is stopping and to seek help. This page is added to help lessen other health risks that can compound issues while these people are to be seeking help. You realize are only looking at a single page of many right?

    Yes I get that this is just a small part of it. I just don't think it should've been a part of it. If the purpose is to get them to stop, don't tell them how to do it right, as that's almost like de-criminalizing it.

    So, do you tell the kids, I know this is wrong, and you will get in trouble for it from me, but here's how to do it, since you're already doing it? Then don't do it after I show you the right way to do it.

    I'm pretty sure that from ME, it's going to be more like, don't do that, and if I catch you doing it again, there will be serious punishment.

  6. I think you've got north and south confused....

    not at all! If that disgusting stuff doesn't make you puke when it's going in, the amount that comes out the back end will make your head explode....Or somethign like that...

    I'll try to remember to snap a pic for Yota's collection. :D

    You may want to make sure 1000rrdude get's to look at it, although he SAYS that he doesn't want them sent to him.... :dunno:

  7. You can make that claim about anything. Love the caps though, nice touch.

    If you didn't do such and such in the first place then such and such wouldn't be needed/happening..legal or illegal. Glad you live in a black and white world where most don't.

    I'm just saying that as long as they're doing something illegal, and not getting any help for the root problem of heroin addiction, let 'em do it wrong.

  8. No. Like I said it's ~1 page out of 10, it's about context. They have a large problem with heroine related illnesses/death and are trying to alleviate that. I don't care for the delivery of that page but in context it's not that bad.

    What part of Heroin being illegal is not understood? IF THE HEROIN WASN'T BEING DONE, THE RELATED ILLNESSES WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!

  9. Shoot me a PM after friday and let me know what you find out. If I had the ability to scan it I would throw it on the dyno and put a heavy load on the car. I would think then the problem could be found.

    Oh how I wish we had a dyno for driveability work! Dyno's aren't ONLY for measuring horsepower! A dyno, a good scan tool or scan software, and a 5-gas analyzer and you can fix just about all driveability problems, as long as you know what you're looking for in the information!

  10. Yeah, I know what that crap is, but I was just trying to get the wheels turning in SWing's head. Chances are they just did it without looking to see if it actually needed it, but hey why not? its another $60 for them. The throttle body wasn't SWing's problem, so why are they "fixing" something that isn't a problem or the reason he brought the car to them

    Yeah, I agree. FIX the problem, THEN suggest other maintenance that may be needed, and the importance of said maintenance.

  11. You really dont think you bring the bashing on yourself? You really DID eat paint chips didn't you? You talk about wanting to own your own business but you don't even know how to spell or use proper grammer. I AM a business owner, I know what it takes and you dont have it.

    It's spelled grammar, Sam..... How do you stay in business spelling like that? :lol:

    I think fonzie's post on reply to him sums it all up, especially the last part of it:

    It's like that old Mark Twain quote, about "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool... Than to open it and remove all doubt. "

  12. Club chicken (grilled chicken, cheese, bacon) and a vitamin water from the cafeteria. Sad that it cost me more that a whole value meal at Wendy's. Work cafeteria FTL.

    But is it better? It doesn't take much.....
