The compassion of socialism.

[Kadagar_AV]

Okay playing the devil's advocate - your friend actually committed personal abuse of his body - so why should the state have to pay for his health condition that he brought on himself from his behavior?

Because humans from time to time error... even law-abiding ones?

Again, third time, there is a difference between up once, and having something as a habit.

If you have something as a habit, that hurts you, you are to blame.

If you however try to live a good life, but get dealt bad cards, the state should help.

I am GLAD my taxmoney went to helping him. Would not you be? Could not you be in the same situation once?
