since you enjoy mischaracterizing arguments with bogus analogies, what you are effectively saying is, "well, I don't understand or give a shit about how these people or their families or friends feel and therefore have no interest in actually remedying their situation, so I'll just do "what i can" to ensure this particular misery endures while pretending I've furnished aid, elevating my own sense of self worth and superiority in doing so."
this is actually the reason why i respect barkingturtle's position on veganism even though i dont entirely agree with it. he actually changes the world for affected individuals. He sacrifices his time and resources to provide a better life for them rather than delivering organic chicken feed to slaughter houses or writing a $20 check for someone else to do it.
i guess another way of looking at the issue of safe injection sites is providing clean saws and medical aid to people who enjoy removing their own limbs. At least they won't get infection or die!

Melon you started this conversation out so good, engaging me with logic and reason ... but now you're just being nonsensical.
Needle clinics don't exacerbate addiction: both the WHO and the AMA found as much. Yet you keep going on and on about how terrible the clinics are making things, when that terribleness only exists in your head. Meanwhile, in the real world, the two biggest health organizations on the planet both found the exact opposite.
So look, all I'm asking for is logic and/or evidence that needle clinics actually make the world worse. That's all. Can you provide that, or are you just going to keep on asserting how bad they are simply because "Melon declares it to be true"?
