Name a *drama* that's ever glorified alcohol and how it was glorified. I'll disagree with you and say no it wasn't, it was used as a dramatic tool, and the drama itself was telling a story.

Right. It seems like there are two camps... the ones that regret their pasts, they own it, apologise from the heart and force themselves to overcome the shame. Then there are those that haven't changed at all... the stupid ones that cannot deal with the crises, can't accept any wrongdoing, attempt to threaten and harass their victims all over again, they go down in flames - they eventually burn all their bridges and I believe it's the industry that finally cancels them, which is why we see a 20 year gap - people like this think they can intimidate their way through their entire lives.

It was this part:
"The more I read your comments, the more I understand the pressure celebs face that drive them to suicide and drugs"

It's in the artists' contracts, they are asked to declare any issues that could come up.

Don't worry about diversity, everyone's different. You have the chance now in NZ to start treating people as individuals again, not groups.

The wounded party sees the person that beat them up on TV, living it large. That's why it happens. School bullies are as thick as planks and/or so arrogant that they think it's all done with.

You see how self-important you are? You think actors care what you or I write on MDL? "Eh?" "Woah!"
You're treating people who are better than you as if they're inferior. It's condescending - you mention a person's mistakes, being needy, hitting rock bottom - you think you're better. Wake up to the real world, you're not special.

Actually this has got me thinking, LA. Why not write/transpose an article that explains just what the appeal of this movie was? The exotic cast, the story, the wide demographic appeal? What's the average box office for horror movies? I'm also curious what the average cost of cinema tickets is in South Korea...

Great, amazing!
The actors look as if the novelty's worn off a little from these publicity shots 🤭

In what way, can you provide a quote as evidence?

Thanks for the link, interesting results, and disappointing. It isn't an illness or a disease... It's only treated as such to facilitate using the health infrastructure. A heroin addict that switches to propofol, or whatever, can make it look like those schemes work, but it's a management system for places that are overwhelmed. It would be nice if the cost and the fallout of those schemes was born solely by people like you that support it.

Agree, she's become one of my favourite singers too since castaway diva, I might never have got to hear her voice without Woo Young Woo.

That's more like it. My guess is otherwise, glass half empty, yours is half full.

True.

Ok, let's end the discussion, you've gone all emotional.

Ok thanks, I see what you mean. I was implying she had potential and I often wonder why it doesn't work out, I wasn't inferring that all actors that don't become leads are bullies. It's a bit like if I said all bears are animals therefore all animals are bears.

Thanks, well written. Are you saying that addiction is written into law? From what you said, it's consumption and possession which are illegal. Anyway, I feel we're splitting hairs there. I'm just one that believes the laws in SK are right.

Here's a scenario...
Imagine a society strictly segregated based on legal or illegal drugs. Imagine your capital city where the north allows drugs, the south does not, with an enforced partition line across the centre. Which half would you assume is the better place to live and which would be economically greater, which would provide the better world for your children? Would the south have a problem with drug addicts?

Good point - it's possible. I think news outlets verify the details before releasing a story, they will be sued heavily if their reporting is flawed. When there's smoke without fire it dissipates before we get to hear about it.

Addiction is not criminalised. Criminality depends on the legality of the means/substance and the behaviour of the individual.

Who is "us"?
I specifically included a condition to those I regard as supremacists.
I look at empirical evidence where drugs are concerned and don't accept your vague assertions to the contrary - do you have any evidence to support what you said?
