Loz, your opinion is a valid one but that's all it is, your opinion. It's not fact. All "druggies" are not idiots. There are a number of them that have had horrendous pasts, coupled with an addictive personality and a naivety resulting in them ending up on a downward spiral they can't get out of.
I don't have sympathy with all addicts, some I have no sympathy for at all. But the ones that you can see are in pain, proper pain not just "Dr, I need some diazepam because my life is so messed up" pain, I do sympathise with.
You have no idea what has happened to drive someone to become addicted to a substance, legal or otherwise. It is human nature to do anything possible to dull the pain. Unfortunately, some people are weaker than others.
Do you feel sympathy for someone who feels a pain so strongly they take their own life? I do, it saddens me. And therefore it would hypocritical of me not to feel sympathy for Amy Winehouse or any other addict of her ilk, as effectively what she has done is committed a long, drawn out suicide. Indeed, it may have been suicide, rather than accidental overdose. We don't know yet.
