If you use that kind of logic, how can you possibly hold anyone responsible for anything?
I'll admit yes they do have the choice in the begining, and that's their responsibility. But when they start to get addicted it is a disease they can't control. That's my stand anyway.
And Mikey argues that they can quit if they want to. Well only if they know they're addicted in the first place. Denial is part of the disease.
My stand anyway, argue it, analyze it, shoot it to bits, try and make me look like an idiot, but I'm not changing it. Not that you were asking me to, just my argument.
