"about drugs, about alcohol, about pornography (whatever that is). what business is it of yours what i do, read, buy, see, or take into my body as long as i do not harm another human being on this planet? and for those of you out there who're having a little moral dilemma in your head about how to answer that question, i'll answer it for you - NON OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS! take that to the bank, cash it, and go fucking on a vacation out of my life."
To a certain degree, I agree with this. Some people are blinded, however, with the 3rd party effects that things have on people. Overdose on drugs? I pay for your hospital bills. Get depressed? You bring other people down.

So whilst I agree, there is more too it than what most people thing. I guess I am getting off topic.
