Question by candigal: What comes to mind when you think of a “drug addict”?
Are “drug addicts ” bad people? Is drug use a choice? What is the eccomomic status of most people who use drug? What are some of the names people have for drug addicts? Do you think treatment works? How are “addicts” different then “non-addicts”? This is for an essay I am writing. Thanks for your help. Also do you think that there is a certain eithnic group that has a higher rate of substance abuse?

Answer by Hell’s Own Harlot
Drug addicts are not necessarily bad people. They lack self control and are under a notion that what they want must be gratified RIGHT NOW. They lack any type of concern for how their behavior effects others and personally, I consider it a slow suicide. Treatment only works if you want it to. You have to be motivated and most drug users aren’t. There are not any particular ethnic groups that are more prone to use than any other. You have losers in every race of people.

Question by Guardian: Tell me if I got a good introduction and claim(thesis) to my argument of inquiry essay.?
My topic is should is Should juveniles be tried as adults.

The purpose of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate which can allow them to develop an understanding of what they have done wrong, and how they can change such behavior. The purpose of the criminal justice system is to punish the wrongdoer for his conduct, protecting society from the criminal and also to rehabilitate. Since the 1960s, the criminal justice system has reduced its emphasis on rehabilitation, therefore there are far less parole and probation officers than there were at that time. This theory means to punish the offenders in the system.
On the other hand, juveniles still have a chance for rehabilitation. All of this can be achieved by going through various social programs which includes incarceration, drugs, alcohol and psychological assistance. My opinion on young people being charged as adults, it is not there fault, they have values like everyone else but they should know the difference between right and wrong and there are just some crimes that children should not get away with.

Question by vp: Could “rehabilitation” have cured Daryll Hair’s mental sickness?
While ICC claims that Aussie umpire Hair has been returned to international cricket after “sufficient rehabilitation”, do you think an unfair umpire can become fair after rehabilitation. If yes do we need to put all other australian grey shaded cricket personalities , e.g Malcom speed, Benson, Ponting Hayden, Symonds, Clarke under rehabilitation too?
I meant Darell Hair.
