Lesson for today: Don't try to change someone who has quick access to a lighter.

Or you should arm yourself - tit for tat, baby!

OP should just cool his head and take baby steps for his friend.

I've got a better idea. OP should change their name to the Human Torch.

Being honest, that's actually pretty hot.

Now fire is funny... But a flaming clown... Is not funny...

that pun was ??

That's just so wrong that your friend abuses drugs. What did the drugs ever do to him/her that makes it ok to beat them?

But what if the drugs deserve to be beaten?

When did they ever say that they were going to beat their friend?

IT'S A JOKE.

Umm. Read it more carefully. It's funny.

Is it physical abuse or is it more psychological?

Better tell that friend your didn't catch fire for nothing.

Maybe you should just hire a person who does this for a living. So then you get to keep all your hair and your friend might also benefit!

I know the economy is bad these days. But having my hair on fire was never on my potential jobs list :/

Why are you such a hot head?

I guess his plan backfired

I suppose his plan went up in flames.

No brother, they expect one in the wreckage.

This was wild from start to finish.

Its a shame when you have a friend that abuses drugs. Its sad to see them addicted and against stopping. Hopefully you can get more help for them before they do something stupid to themselves.

Or someone else ... like OP, for example? ;)

In my personal experience, interventions that don't involve professional help or support rarely work. But I can understand your concern for your friend.

Sounds like your friend might need a dose of anger management to go with their rehab

they might not have anger issues. some people that ate addicts will do anything to keep getting drugs because addiction does that to you. makes you prioritize drugs above all else
