North Buffalo

Oh its never easy, but these folks were not battling they were active with no thoughts for anyone but themselves or the collateral damage they were doing to themselves and those around them including their kids. Sorry, but addicts need tough love, enabling makes them worse until they accept help. Im all for giving help to the willing. But active addicts are a bain on our society.

Having lived thru it with my brother and feeling really powerless to the point that I knew even a rude awakening wouldnt change him yeah Im cynical. Verbally I do my job with care and kindness to all... but those folks are still a waste on society that dont even try.

I hear you, but for the ones that dont want help, wont receive it, but are only coming in drug seeking because they cant find it on the street and walk out in the middle of exams because they realize they will only be getting advil, it gets really frustrating, especially because we offer psych help as well as detox.

last quote was a frustrated quote, yeh that was crap. And yeh if they were not druggies I would have felt differently. Two less scourges that were caught up in their own manipulating drama... little sympathy... see it way too often in my ER wasting resources.

A quote from Abraham Lincoln about the alcoholic but could be attributed to the duality of human existence including OJ... Is he just a bad man or more complicated, though it throws out my argument about not caring about the murder of two bad people by another: https://silkworth.net/pages/washingtonians/abraham_lincoln_on_alcoholism.php

I hate OJ for what he did or became, but I can't lose those memories of simpler times when he was just the Juice and a childhood hero...

Not speaking for Neo, but probably both..

just saying back then stuff like this was happening Jerry Butler was notorious never made the papers. Mom was a counselor and I heard stories as a kid about lots of football players though they didnt murder anyone. And again she and Goldman were notorious drug users... Ignoring what he did for the Bills and how little the NFL helped players emotionally struggling post career given how much they made off them nuff said, but back when I grew up OJ was every kids hero... So allowing his number to be used now to me is wrong. Guess we will have to disagree.

Bobby Hull still is, lots of hypocrisy out there Trump is still allowed to be President

If it happened now sure, back then to a bunch of drug addicts meh

If they had been black and not rich barely anyone would have cared

Yeh because he murdered two white cocaine addicts its a big deal. Not excusing him but really dont care about them. Not being able to differentiate between OJ the football player and OJ post football isa problem.

They were nowhere near the player OJ was... nuff said.

May have to ignore you Dark on this one... read on. You were not there when OJ was, guess I cant expect you to understand... His later in life stupidity notwithstanding.

Hey understand why they dont officially retire his number, but it should not be used imo. New guy couldnt hold OJ's jock so why do it.

Fair enough, but he wasnt with the Bills then. Doesnt lessen what he did as a Bill just distract people who cant handle the duality that is OJ

Sorry for those of us who grew up with OJ this is blasphemy. Later in life he sucked. But with the Bills he was unreal. Handed me and my friends oranges as we chased Bills on our bikes while they rode in old fash model Ts down Delaware Ave, signed a superman comic book at Buffalo airport. He was larger than life back then. His number should never be used.. seriously disappointed in the Bills.

Drafted Turcotte, LaVoie and was Leason... Boldy went 6th. Just did two rounds. No idea past that.

Had 2 assists snd a goal last night. The goal was after a shot that goaltender deflected off my shin pads square right back into his own net. Happened so fast almost did realize I scored, lol. PS We won 6-3

What vet did you go to 35 years ago? I worked for one in High School and that is how we did it.

Probably, but it did two things this playoffs, made the Leafs weaker and St. Louis deeper and tougher to play against. I forget the price but short term, the Blues became really tough to play against in a long series. That line has been wrecking havoc in these playoffs...

Better

I admit I thought he had to go, wasnt sure about the deal but was hopeful til I saw Sobotka and Berglund coming back and no young center. TT had no idea about. Wanted the deal if it was worth it... it wasnt
