laurence2, I sit my kids down and warn them of the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes like most parents do, but without acting like a sanctimonious pr!ck. Should my kids ever become involved with any of the above, I know that i'd be there for them no matter what, because that's what parents do.
I don't condone what Pete Doherty is doing to himself, and it is ONLY himself he's doing it to, but he is ill, needs help, and I for one wish him well, as I would anyone trying to overcome an addiction.
As to whether I've dabbled with drugs in the past or not, is it relevant to me having an opinion?
rugeleyboy, if you actually read what I posted before, you will see that I winked after that comment.
I DO like Pete Doherty, think he has talent, and enjoy his music. Does that make me small minded? As for idolising him, did I say that? No! Thought not.
