[QUOTE="Blighty, post: 714235, member: 21991"] Regarding the video "Weak" is such an emotive word ! After all, sick people are often weak, immune systems can be weak, babies are weak compared to adults, very old people are often weak, the poor are weak ... it does not mean we hold it against them and look down on them just because they are weak! Society should try to support them to improve their situation. In a similar context an addict is weak just as any person with an illness is. But in the video it seems that they want to use the word to shame all addicts in general that they should not need support. I think addiction is like a disease. I am sure there are many shades of gray in people's differing situations. What I get from the video is that this guy seems to be very angry. [/QUOTE]
