Clarification on the last post

[clex_monkie89]

1. I was raised by drug addicts. My mother and step-father are five years clean, my big brother is about a year or so clean (and in prison) and my dad is in prison and probably not clean. I have seen them smoke crack. I have seen people OD in front of me (at fourteen nonetheless). I have seen my big brother go through heroin withdrawls. I have had lightbulbs stolen by tweakers who then smoked them.

There is absolutely nothing you can ever say that will make me think doing crack, heroin, meth, X, coke, glass or whatever is anything less than fucking horrible. I repeat: I do not care if I offend you. SIXTEEN YEARS of my life was spent with drug addicts.

2. Re: Drinking. As those of you at WinCon know, I don't generally mind other people drinking. I just don't feel like going out and being the only sober person there. Really, the biggest thing there is just that drunk people? Are usually nowhere near as amusing to sober people as they think they are. And, relating to part the first up there, I have already spent enough of my life nodding along to people who make no fucking sense at all.

It's weird, cause I like drunk posts, and drunks at WinCon kinda rock (they talk about COCK and PORN and WINCEST and J2), but I cannot stand being around people who are drunk, like, because it's Friday.

3. If you don't know the names of a large chunk of the people you've slept with you're slutting around. If you've ever had a Maury Povich kind of "I don't know who my Baby Daddy is because I've slept with half the town and they were all right around the same time" moment you're slutting around.

Slutting around is not just having a lot of sex. If you're an irresponsible idiot about it (USE CONDOMS, PEOPLE. RL IS NOT FIC.) then... Well. You could totally be slutting around. You could also just be a great big idiot.

So much word to this. I've led a really sheltered life for the most part (compared to yours, really really sheltered) but I have alcoholism scattered all over the place across both sides of my family, and married a man with the same. I rarely have any alcohol at all, and when I do it's generally been a sip of wine to be polite. I just don't like the taste and am doing my best to keep it that way, because I figure if I ever start, there's an above-average chance I'll never stop, and having been around more than enough drunk people at college... why? Drinking because you like the taste or even for a little buzz I can see. Fine, whatever. Drinking specifically to get drunk ... way beyond my comprehension level.

I just can't bring myself to respect stupid people (or smart people who do stupid things deliberately) and it's hard for me to understand why anyone with any self-respect at all would want to be stupid. And drunk people ... definitely very stupid. Smoking-stupid and smelly. (Most) Drugs-stupid and dangerous. Unprotected sex with one night stands - criminally stupid.

People who accuse liberals of moral relativism and/or immorality make me laugh. True, I don't really care what you do with your own life, but your rights end at your nose. If you're irresponsible, you force other people to live in your mess with you, and probably clean up after it in the end. That's not fair, it's not right, and it's not something I will ever be able to tolerate.

(Sorry for the book. I think this rant has been building up for awhile. One of my cousins-in-law just went and married a girl with a meth(!) problem and I could shake him until his teeth rattled. They were friends before she got hooked and I imagine he thinks he's going to save her, but frankly, I don't think he has the first idea what he's gotten himself into.)
