Do I really have to see sores and wounds (meth ads) to read DU?
It's all over Huffington Post the last few days too.

I do what I am able to help others. I don't plan to take meth and don't want to see that any more. It's disgusting and upsetting.

1. Since it's part of life,
and since those ads might help someone, somewhere.......I suggest that you learn to get over your squeamishness.

2. If you really want to know how to avoid all of the ads, PM me.
I'm not putting it here because I don't know how DU feels about circumventing advertising.

14. I know what you mean.
It's neat to log out from DU and not see any bad teeth.

5. I've given many cycles previously but cant do so now.
Just not bootstrappy enough I guess, no matter how much and how hard I work.

12. I don't mind the others, but the horror and shock is more than I am able to absorb.

7. Someday I'll tell you the story of a young man I saw in his coffin yesterday, a fellow who,
in a different kind of America, would have made one hell of a History teacher, big, attractive, clever . . . but he never made it there and, maybe if you knew what it's like to be thrown away because of your problems, maybe then you could STAND in the face of the truth about us.

You don't know anything about me or my life dear. I stand up for truth and work to help others constantly.


I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and your loss.

13. I think some don't know what meth does. To me ads are better than jail as

a deterrent. You, I, and many see it once and that's enough, but there are many that don't see ads in the same timeframe. Many people may pass through DU on searches, not being members, and it might help someone in net-land. Anyway, that's my thought... I actually never realized how really incredibly serious it was, the effects and all, until I watched a program on it a few years back.
