Bastards They Are
FOUND by Joesph Kelly
in Stoke-on-Trent, UK
Found in a public toilet in Stoke-on-Trent. Written on the back of the lid of a box of budget teabags. Tragic.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Lol.. Well that was harsh but in a way just lol
Not tragic. True.
Yoda this was not!
I'm getting a more pirate-y feeling...
OMG Marty, that was so funny I nearly spit my drink all over the monitor! hahahaha
Also, who writes their big advice on the back of a lid of a box of tea bags and then leaves it in a public bathroom? I suspect the author knows a little something about needing methadone him/herself!
So you took something out of a toilet...?
Wooot a letter from Stoke on Trent ^_^
Drug addicts are people too...thanks for giving us one more reason to feel like shit.
the person who wrote this is a bastard
That'd be like saying "People with cancer are bastards, let's put them to sleep." Addiction is a disease. When will people get that?
yeah, addiction is a disease. but using is a choice. One that is made every. single. day. Or, the choice NOT to use is an option, too.
Spending money on heroin or coke as opposed to groceries and electric bills- that's a choice.
Addiction is a "disease"- sure. But an addict still has choice. Either succumb to the "disease" (thereby destroying family, career, etc- bastards they are) or choose to get off the train. Don't tell me there's not a choice. Addicts recover every day. "it's a disease; I don't have a choice" is a cop out. Nothing more.
This is from an addict who doesn't want anything that feels like a drug unless it really is...desperate.
,Methadone, ,Morphine, ,Good, ...why were these words highlighted?
I'd LOVE to meet this person face to face... I'm a clean, recovering Heroin addict for 12 years, now. I used for 4 years, and will never, ever touch the evil crap again. I'm also on Methadone, and it's helped lots of people get over there addictions.
One thing,
ALL SAINTS HAVE A PAST,
AND ALL SINNERS HAVE A FUTURE.
For the people who chose life, only choice to pick. =o)
For the people who are still struggling, choose life.
Way to go Holly, that's great.
I don't really know what to say.
People that say it's a choice- it can be one hit and you're hooked. After that you don't have a choice. It's one bad decision. I've made a bad decision before, so has every one else here, luckily not that severe
damn i KNEW someone was gonna steal the Yoda thing!!!!!!!
"Frustrated still in Asheville, NC
That'd be like saying "People with cancer are bastards, let's put them to sleep." Addiction is a disease. When will people get that? "
some people are not responsible for getting cancer. most people are responsible for being addicted to drugs.
i thought it was a haiku at first
I don't get it. Are those supposed to be commas? Apostrophes? Either way, why?? How about trading some of those commas in for a period or two?
People who play havoc on punctuation are bastards! BASTARDS THEY ARE!!
Thank you Amanda. The way to deal with the drug problem isn't to blame the victim. As humans we all have a vulnerability to drug addiction, to say they should die for being addicted is to condemn yourself. They are you!2
This note is just as good backwards. I'll add in my own punctuation for flavor:
Are they Bastards? Good for asleep. Them put morphine. Them give methadone. Addict = Drug. Give? Don't.
