Hard News: "Meth contamination": the…, in reply to izogi,
” I wonder how often staff float between HNZ and commercial agencies.” Well one that I know of anyway. She now works for one of the real estate robbers and announced a year or so ago that she had just gained her P testing certification.
Very dubious I thought. -
Speaker: The Uncomfortable Silence, in reply to LIISA,
"I think you might be underestimating the ease of treating both of these conditions, sorry."
Yes sorry is appropriate. The patronising "It's harder to treat than YOU think" is one of the brick walls we come across. It's too hard so we'll just do nothing.
I'm not likely to underestimate how hard it is to treat a disease I suffer from, neither did I imply it was easy. -
Wouldn't it be great if addiction was treated just as type 2 diabetes is. Both diseases develop in adulthood (mostly). Both so easily treated.
Twenty years or so ago I read of a hospital somewhere in the UK where people dependent on heroin could pick up their required dose from the hospital daily. All these people were valued, high functioning members of society. There was no judgement made; the patients just managed their own lives with the help of the drug, just as diabetics do.
I'm so sorry you lost your brother Amberleigh. Awesome brothers are so important to their sisters. It's just too sad. -

And nasty and ugly and horrible and crime fightin' guys were sittin' there " -
Speaker: A Disorderly Brexit, in reply to Matthew Hooton,
Yes. That the EU is not a democratic institution is a salient point not often made.
And that the Remain faction was finaced by the big banks makes one question what their motive for remaining is. Well it's fairly obvious.Lord Owen, the Eurosceptic former Labour foreign secretary, said: “The EU works in the interests of the elite - the one per cent - so it is entirely unsurprising to find that the campaign to keep us in the Union is financed by big banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.
