Artie Lang outmassing Phil Heath on nose width

Those first 2 or 3 years when Howard came to satellite and had Artie at his side, that was the absolute prime of the show.

Yep.

Howard had to get rid of him. His suicidal behavior and the criminals he associated with made Howard make the move to fire him. Howard comes across as a lunatic but in reality he leads a boring life of going to work then living as a hermit. He didn't need the danger of that loose canon his work area.

People orchestrate their own fate, largely.

It’s not society’s responsibility to “save” someone. If help is required, then great. Here. If you abuse help by taking it with less than sincere intent or fuck up again and again, you’re on your own.

Drug addiction is weakness. Disease my ass.

Everyone screws up, to lesser or greater degrees. Me. You. Everyone. However, folks who are determined to meet destruction need to be given freedom to achieve just that.

Fuck-ups with very few exceptions become lifelong fuckups, harming everyone and everything with which they come into contact.

This guy would seem to be a fuck-up.

Let him meet his fate.

I like the cut of your jib, son.

Just curious, have you been addicted to something before? The weakness response is usually spouted from someone who has not dealt with it from the first person POV.

No. Never.

But I do have OCD, so I know of compulsion on a “stress sweat” level.

Drug addiction is weakness.

Some are predisposed to developing addiction, yes, but they still have to allow this to manifest and to take a foothold.

No, please tell it.

Haven't had a chance to read his book.

OCD is the biggest weakness of all.

No, weakness is giving in to it. I was confronted with it, explored what it is within me, and chose to fight back. Because of my strength, OCD has not derailed my life. Ever. I’m going to be 48 in January.

Strong as an ox, bitch.

Drug users give in to their genetic predilection towards addiction.

Drug addicts are weak.

But thanks for coming out.
