Its a trade though, and there's no way to be %100 sure what he will spend it on, it can be on food, smokes, anything. Plus i cant be responsible for his action, if i was responsible for that other ppl did i would have a shit load of stress everyday. Don't worry about things out of your control.

I have had multiple discussions about something similair with my friends.

They say its ok to buy a bike from a junk becouse if you dont buy it someone else will.

Well guess what? 90% of the people who buy bikes from junkies say that shit and that clientelle accounts for 90% of the stolen bikes in the netherlands.

Ye i laugh in their faces when their bikes get stolen obviously ^^

what about this... what if instead... u told him that you would buy the next 30$ worth of shit he needed .... say food or whatever... would he still sell it?

it's like how people wont give bums money but they are happy to go volunteer at soup kitchens or donate to charities which will give bums food and such

this is a hard question... i mean if u were to buy his whole property from him you'd be abusing his addiction... which may or may not be ethical... i mean it's business

the question is... are you abusing his friendship? As a friend you do have some responsibility over the welfare of your friends... i think everyone on LP would agree with that...? no?

So as a friend, I think you should at least take 30 minutes out of your life to make sure u do right by him. Call 1 800 396 9389 and ask professionals what are the best methods for helping your friend. A 5 minute conversation might inform you of some counter intuitive things and not only actually save you some time in the long run, but maybe save ur friend's life.

No, you should offer YOURSELF to your friend because sooner or later he will fuck another ass!!! Rofl....

EDIT: Oh, you didn't say it is afriend if yours; I still wouldn't do it, I wouldn't want to have any sort of connection / trace to him

"someone else will" -_- how does that make what u do right ffs However i take the cash, that person is free to choose what to do with his life, money and belongings, if he sells that stuff insta-buy it.

what he said
& thats pure business u have no right to even care what he d do with the money

if its stolen tho i wouldnt buy it

If you dont deal heroine somebody else will... does that gives you moral immunity to dealing heroine? is that even close to the same situation? no. try again. It is the same argument for the same type of situation, your making money by enabling something thats bad for someone else. try again.

This...

wtf is with your answer travis lol thats pathetic, i just prooved how "because sombody else will anyway" its not a moral justification for anything.

There is no ethical dilemma here, maybe if the guy was using the money you gave him to fund a child exploitation ring it would be more of an issue.

in this case i would not buy it

No in that case you would ask him for a free service in his new business instead of the guitar hero game

where's the option for taking advantage of his addiction and haggling down to $25?

Not at all. You almost definitely have a desire to help your friend but you have absolutely no responsibility to do so.

Yes, if you ask an ex friend or two of mine!

This is so funny. No one has said that the guy has a drug problem and we should help him deal with it. Buy Guitar Hero because you want it and its a good deal. Then if he is a true friend, get him the F off drugs. Call an intervention, talk him out of it, something. I don't see why your one moral stance on your friends drug problem is whether or not you should buy his old junk from him. It should be HOW YOU GET HIM OFF DRUGS THATS IMPORTANT

Buying stuff from druggees is not morally wrong, whats wrong is that you are letting your friends be druggees.

letting be? his friend has no free will? he is not your child, you can talk with him about it, try to help him out but if in the end he chooses to do meth well that is his choice and it should be respected.

It is an ethical question, but it is also Guitar Hero fucking 3 with a wireless controller for $30. This supersedes any moral debate that this could provoke.
