i think people who have never experienced traumatic events would not have the capacity to understand how it truely affect you. it's easy enough to sympathize with the victims (and sometimes the criminal) but you can't really understand without going through similar situations.
now it's easy for me to say that i'm glad i went through the shit i went through last year because of the person it made me, but what i went through wasn't getting anally raped or loosing a loved one forever. it's just bad shit.
so i guess what i'm trying to say is that we can't really say that the drug is a good or bad thing, 'cause we've never gone through anything nearly as traumtic as rape, war, or death. (i'm not saying everyone on this board hasn't, but you know what i mean).
also, closing this thread is fucking stupid. we need some name calling before we can do that
