Totally agreed. One of my friends has a really sexy mom thats in her late 30's and i was going to go with her until i found out about the god and cult like shit.
But I'm hearing about dealers going to them to find new clientele? I may have to go check it out now
Also saying your powerless over a drug is kinda IMO

Quitting drugs is not about "willpower", that's what's BS here. Quitting drugs is about making new habits and new friends that circumvent your addiction. Failure to do that on your own is not about lacking willpower, it's about being human and not having complete control over everything that happens to you.

It's not a cult though. It's a support group.

And this.
Some people LIVE with drugs all around em, temptation just up the block. Makes it kinda hard to quit with just willpower alone when you got kids to feed, bills to pay and you work a shitty job. Just saying.

I think you should go to an NA meeting before you pass judgement. I guarantee that not all of em are religious freaks or seem like they are part of a cult. It just REALLY does help if you want the help

Give him a break, he's new, and he's from Texas so he needs a bit more time than the rest of us. He probably just doesn't know how to use the reply-to feature.

Which team can I be on?

Mainstream media has become comedy to me over the years. It's rather entertaining.

Interestingly, the only other Piers Morgan interview I've seen was with David Icke.
"They're not laughing with you, they're laughing at you!" Fuck you Piers Morgan.
He seems to get a cheap thrill/ego-boost by giving freethinkers a voice on his show just so he can shut them down with establishmentarian logic in front of a sympathetic audience.
(And I'm in favor of gun control.)

I absolutely agree. Piers Morgan needs a completely fucked up person to make himself look good.
Alex Jones obviously needs some help.
