Answer by Made_in_America
Unfortunately, the news media is sensationalistic and will cover something like this in detail only if there is a death. You will occasionally see a story about it only when the news media has ‘down time’ with nothing else to report.

Is the government’s drive to cut binge drinking among young people being undermined by the alcohol industry?
Oct 29th
Question by .yEAh.: Is the government’s drive to cut binge drinking among young people being undermined by the alcohol industry?
The alcohol industry continue to advertise their products and young people are being hooked into their adverts, for example, the WKD adverts, “Have You Got A WKD Side?”

Answer by The unborn
Its not the alcohol industry.
It s the government them selves.
They make heaps of money from exise tax on alcohol but they do not want to be seen to be profitereing from social probs so they do some crummy anti alcohol campain to brain wash us into thinking they are trying to do the right thing.

Celebrity – Is being poor a bigger crime than actually breaking the law?

Question by Go go Gadget: Celebrity – Is being poor a bigger crime than actually breaking the law?
R. Kelly, R&B singer charged with child molestation rebounded quite well, with multi-platinum selling records during and after his trial. Sell-out shows on tour.
Mike Tyson, world-renown boxer, spent 6 years in prison for rape and he’s still making money throough film and book deals. If any of us were convicted rapists, could we even get within 500 yards of a movie set?
Robert Downey Jr, actor. Here’s an idea, let’s line up all the heroin junkies in America to audition for the lead role in the next summer blockbuster.
Kobe Bryant, NBA star. Charged with rape. Seems like it’s been all-but-forgotten. Hey, he did get the Lakers another ring last year and he’s the best player in the NBA!
O.J. Simpson, ex-NFL star and small time actor. Hm. Can’t call this one, but something tells me he still has access to luxuries the average murderer doesn’t.
Mickey Rourke, actor. Seems to be getting a lot of big movie roles for an alcoholic who has beaten his ex-wives. Wonder if my employers could overlook arrests for domestic violence.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, rapper and small time actor. Ex-con? Ex-drug dealer? Worth 0 million+, working with movie legends like DeNiro and Pacino? Not bad.
Eminem, rapper. Skirmishes outside night clubs, violence against the mother of his child, weapons charges. Sounds like a winner.
Roman Polanski, movie director. This guy drugged and sodomized minors. He even fled the country to avoid prosecution. Hollywood still came to his defense. If I am rich, I wonder if people will still come to my defense if I am drugging and violating minor children.
Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, rapper and entertainment mogul. Jay-Z was charged with stabbing a man and pleaded down to a lesser charge and was given 3 years probation. But, he’s rich now. Would you overlook my attempted murder if I became big and powerful, too? Would you let your kids around me? Well, apparently beautiful women don’t mind, do they Beyonce?
Tim Allen, actor. Yep, Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor spent 28 months in federal prison for cocaine trafficking. Still love the guy.
Paris Hilton? Lindsay Lohan, anyone? The list goes on..
I understand they can afford top notch attorneys to get out of the situations they find themselves in, but is there really a stigma associated with being a criminal or do we just dislike poor people? Some of the lists did the time or were accused before the fame, Tim Allen. What do you think? I mean, would you pay to watch a film starring the local sexual predator the next block over? Would you let a convicted rapist within 50 yards of your home?

Is all drug addiction bad? What is wrong with being addicted to sleeping pills?
May 16th
Question by thetigersnameistony: Is all drug addiction bad? What is wrong with being addicted to sleeping pills?
I have been addicted to sleeping pills for a while (probably years.) They are over the counter. I take them only at night to sleep…it’s not like they are disturbing my life in any way.
I actually don’t know if I am addicted because I have not tried to fall asleep without them and once recently I actually fell asleep without them and slept through the night. I just love the sleep I get using them and hate “trying” to fall asleep. I could sit up all night easily without them. With them I just fall into sleep and I love that.
What is the big deal? This is my secret shame, because I know the idea of addiction is negative, but is this something to be concerned about.

Answer by longview (For Da Ben Dan)
OTC sleeping pills never worked for me at all. It is impossible for me to imagine someone being addicted to them.

My boyfriend goes from being a totally normal, caring person, to a really mean defensive jerk when he drinks?
Mar 22nd
Question by Lost Girl: My boyfriend goes from being a totally normal, caring person, to a really mean defensive jerk when he drinks?
Ok, so my boyfriend of 4 years (he’s 32) is one of those super nice guys by day, but (sometimes) when he’s had a few drinks…he really gets defensive and mean. It’s gotten worse over the past 1 year or so, or maybe my level of patience has diminished.
For example, we will meet for a dinner somewhere between our houses, and I’m guessing he makes a drink “for the road” before he meets me. This “roadie” will probably consist of 2-3 shots of vodka with some mixer. We’ll have 1 or 2 (usually if I have 1 or 2, he has 3 or 4) drinks at dinner, etc. Then, we’ll talk later in the evening (after we’ve both gone to our homes) and he’s slurring. I’ll ask, “hey, are you ok? How are you slurring? Are you drunk?” Come to find out he’s stopped for a “roadie” beer or 2 on the way home. Mind you, he’s made a whopping 4-5 mile drive home. He gets WAY upset/defensive with me and we usually end up in some sort of arguement over the phone.
This is just one example of the “during the week” issues. The weekends are an entire different story.
My question is…at what point does a person become an “alcoholic?” I know that’s an odd question, but I guess my fear is when do I pull the trigger on this relationship. I don’t do well with quick mood changes, that’s my job (kidding…), and when he drinks super quick like this, he’s really a different person. However, it’s not like he wakes up and drinks, and he doesn’t drink everyday (at least not to my knowledge). So…is he, in fact, an “alcoholic?”
Also, why is the anger honed at me? I’m sure he doesn’t like me nagging him about the drinking, but the guy already has one DWI, and he needs to watch driving around with open containers in the car.
I hate being “mom,” but I also care about what happens to the guy. I knew going in that he had a drinking issue in college and shortly after, but I figured he would outgrow it because most people do when they, I don’t know…have to work and GROW UP???? HELP!

Why is being a drug addict a disability?
Nov 26th
Question by sonofEatonWrite: Why is being a drug addict a disability?
Come on, why is it my problem as a taxpayer if some junkie starves? Wasn’t it was his/her stupid decision to snort coke or shoot heroin or do whatever they do anyway? I say they deserve some sympathy but not money when we have a war and unstable economy to deal with.
Best answer:
Answer by dime for your thoughts
Is your a Christian then you would go by what the bible says if someone is hungry feed them if someone is thristy give the some water… and it goes on. In the book it says God will see this and reward you. He will not turn his back on you if you do not turn your back on a fellow man. The new Commandment Love each other! LOVE EACH OTHER. Those ppl can change and help what they’ve torn down.
On top of that you dont want those druggies robbing and stealing from you. Break them off so your car dont come up gone.

How can I stop being so afraid of needles?
Aug 12th
Question by c.: How can I stop being so afraid of needles?
As far having a blood test, or even when given novacaine at the dentist, I cannot STAND needles. They just terrify me. If I have to have a blood test done, I’ll be thinking about it all day and freaking myself out even more, while the pain from the needle only lasts about less than 10 seconds in itself.. I know I’m not the only one with this problem, and sorry for complaining. 
I wish I was a heroin junkie, then I wouldn’t have a problem with needles haha.
Seriously though, how can I overcome my fear of them? Advice?♥

Answer by yoyo
I used to have fear of needles too. I just took it and closed my eyes. The pain is less painful then being stung by a bee.

When is a Careful Driver at Risk For Being Stopped For Drunk Driving?
Jan 3rd
Most everyone has a general idea for reasons why a police officer will pull over a vehicle for suspected DUI: speeding, weaving, crossing the center line, running through a red light, etc. However, in an age where more and more police officers choose to “specialize” in the detection of drunk drivers, don’t always assume that driving carefully is going to help you avoid being stopped. Why? Because at a time when police officers enjoy the low risk, high reward notoriety of DUI vehicle stops, it only takes one convenient, yet legal excuse to pull you over.
DUI arrests have in many places become the arrest of choice for police officers across the nation. Unlike other arrests, stopping people suspected of DUI usually does not entail a police officer running the risk of a violent encounter, while also allowing he or she to claim the performance of a valued public service. As a result, please do not let the truth get in the way of reality: many police officers are looking for an excuse to pull your car over. Here are some tips to watch out for:
1.) Watch who you put in your vehicle. If you’re possibly driving near the legal limit your rowdy friend leaving the bar and getting into your car is trouble for you. Many police officers make it a practice of lurking outside bars, nightclubs, sporting events, etc. waiting for the “designated driver” of the intoxicated passenger. Why? Because police officers know more often than not, although you may not be AS intoxicated as your companion, chances are you’ve been drinking with them. Whether you’ve been “designated” driver or not, don’t be the focus of a disturbing trend to arrest a passenger for public intoxication as a pretext to questioning you, the driver, for driving above your state’s legal limit for intoxication.
2.) Do not drive too far below the posted speed limit or be too attentive. Police officers have told me that they enjoy tailing a vehicle so attentive that they stand out from the flow of traffic. Believe it or not if road conditions are such that you are the only vehicle in a group of cars traveling significantly below the speed limit, you are getting the officers eyeballs not on all those speeding around you, but on your automobile. In such a circumstance it is only a matter of time before the trailing police officer will initiate a potential DUI traffic stop.
3.) Have a nice car? Don’t show it off. Keep in the middle of the traffic flow. Police officers are people and take note of an attractive car as much as the next person. Beautiful things can inspire many things in a person; admiration, envy, sometimes jealousy. If you’ve been drinking do not be eager to show the world how fast your car is, it’s turning ability or the noise of its engine. If you do, be prepared to blow into a police breathalyzer. These hard earned wonders of your car you may be so proud of are not an advantage to avoiding traffic detection.
4.) Make sure your car has been properly registered with your department of motor vehicles. Yes my fellow drivers in many places your license plate can be run for no reason other than that you are driving a vehicle. As a result, make sure your license plate fees, registration etc. are valid so as not to allow a police officer a great excuse to pull over your carefully driven automobile for DUI.
