hunkygraham1 - We Didn't Own An iPad (2013)

hunkygraham1:

As a boy who was raised in the 1970's and 80's I have decided to rewrite this Billy Joel track, listing just some of the things that I can remember from my childhood. Enjoy the memories!

​Startling to recall that I too collected rubbers.​

The only way to help addicts is to treat them as sick, not bad » Spectator Blogs

Russell Brand:​

Peter Hitchens is a vocal adversary of mine on this matter. He sees this condition as a matter of choice and the culprits as criminals who should go to prison. I know how he feels. I bet I have to deal with a lot more drug addicts than he does, let’s face it, I share my brain with one, and I can tell you first-hand they are total nightmares. Where I differ from Peter is in my belief that if we regard alcoholics and drug addicts not as bad people but as sick people, then we can help them to get better. By we, I mean other people who have the same problem but have found a way to live drug- and alcohol-free lives. Guided by principles and traditions, a programme has been founded that has worked miracles in millions of lives. Not just the alcoholics and addicts themselves, but their families, their friends and of course society as a whole.
