"One time I asked a friend of mine what he would do if he had a friend with an addiction" The key word there is "friend." It is a strange word if you look at it with fresh eyes. What is the "i" doing there? Why not just "frend"? Obviously a very old word, probably Danish in origin. I think we have to draw a distinction here between: (1) friends; and (2) people who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire, and would take the opportunity to steal your wallet once you had cooled off. I support the former, I damn the latter. Anyway this is not a fit subject for the board, let's take it elsewhere.
