If
there's something that'll make me vomit faster than a mouthful
of ipecac, it's hearing the term safe-injecting rooms for
heroin users.
The modern plague that's hitting our major cities will not
be reduced by bleeding hearts softening the idea of shooting
up in special rooms and calling it safe.
As anyone with half a brain will tell the warm-and-fuzzy
tossers - injecting heroin is not a safe pastime. No matter
what the sookie Political Correct Handbook has to say on the
matter.
It's certainly not safe for the poor souls who use heroin,
nor for the silly old buggers who happen to sit on a used
needle - as I did the other day.
Talk about a pain in the arse. There I was one minute sitting
down to have a nice sip of tea and the next I was hopping
up and down like rabbit on speed. Ooops, sorry, bad analogy.
But you get the point. If people want to shoot up that's
their affair, but let's not trivialise their death-defying
ritual by saying they do it in a safe-injecting room.
Instead, we should tell it like it is. How about: Wrong Track,
At Harm's Length, Do-Inject-Yourself Rooms, High-Ways to Hell,
Hard-Shot Cafes?
