It's no one's fault but her own. That's what free will is about.

Exactly, people die all the time because we do things that we know are dangerous, for the thrill or in order to escape. My best friend died in a motorcycle accident ... They are very dangerous especially for children, does that mean we should make it illegal for responsible adults to enjoy riding motorcycles because its dangerous and even more so for children?

The same argument can and is made about Guns from the prhibitionists on the left ... They make the same arguments for gun control that the right makes for the drug war.

The fact is pharmaceutical drugs that we put our children on for ADD or whatever and that we take ourselves for depression or for lack of focus or for sleeplessness or for anxiety, they are just as dangerous and are often more dangerous than most of the illegal stuff. What makes the illegal stuff as dangerous as it is - is the fact that you cannot guarantee the quality, so people get some bad stuff and it kills them.

Its all double standards on both sides and the reasons are greed and corruption. All their talk amounts to lies and propaganda, their policies sole purpose is to support the corrupt systems in this world all in the name of peace and security, or in the name of morality and God.

It is all racketeering and fraud and grabs for power by playing on the fears and stupidity of the masses.

Only a fool would go to a library or pay money for "peer reviewed journals". Wiki is peer reviewed. No one can claim there aren't numerous mistakes, half/truths, biases, etc in old encyclopedias.




Wiki is one of the best damn creations of the internet age. It's a shame something as useless as facebook gets credit for anything. That is nothing more than a waste of bandwidth. Can't wait until the day google plus or some other social net site goes to the top and tumbles facebook to pennies.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I don't take anyone seriously when they use Wikipedia as their "credible" source.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

You don't have to go to the library, there are PLENTY of actual credible sources all over the place. Wikipedia is not one of them.
