00:00:03.000 Alright, the lighting's not great for this video, but I have a confession to make, so I'm gonna make it.
00:00:11.000 I have a disease, and my disease has led me to steal this Orbit watermelon chewing gum.
00:00:17.000 Despite the fact I have enough money to easily pay for it, I suffer from a disease that makes me steal things.
00:00:24.000 See, I always thought that if you make shit choices in your life, that it's down to you and you should have some personal responsibility, but I recently found out that addiction is a disease.
00:00:32.000 In light of all the modern bullshit that's going on with all these spoiled cunt celebrities, I had someone explain to me that addiction is a disease.
00:00:39.000 And I said, Well, addiction is not a disease because there's a choice you make at the beginning.
00:00:43.000 I don't know a disease on earth where you make a choice at the start, which begins the series of events.
00:00:51.000 If you have an addiction, you make a choice to get up, get dressed, go meet the person who has whatever substance, purchase it, go home, and inject it.
00:01:01.000 There's a whole bunch of choices before the actual act itself.
00:01:05.000 And they said, No, but addiction is a disease because it's been shown in their brain that.
00:01:08.000 When they withdraw, I'm like, yeah, I'm sure in your brain you can see brain chemicals, you know, obviously certain things you enjoy.
00:01:14.000 And if you miss something, you can measure it.
00:01:17.000 I understand all of what you're trying to say.
00:01:19.000 I still do not see how addiction is a disease because there's a choice at the beginning.
00:01:22.000 But they corrected me.
00:01:24.000 They said, no, addiction is a disease, even though there's a choice at the start because it's very difficult to quit.
00:01:30.000 And if they don't do whatever activity they're doing, whether it's gambling, whether it's taking drugs, whether it's alcohol, whatever, whatever, you can notice in the brain serotonin levels drop, et cetera, et cetera.
00:01:39.000 And I said, okay, well, you know what I like?
00:01:43.000 Free shit.
00:01:44.000 I like free stuff.
00:01:46.000 So even though I make the choice to steal, I have a disease because if I don't steal, it's very difficult for me not to because you can measure in my brain that I'm pissed off having got free things.
00:01:58.000 So I started small with my Orbit chewing gum.
00:02:01.000 But I actually intend on getting big time.
00:02:05.000 Banks, cars, I don't even know.
00:02:07.000 Whatever.
00:02:07.000 I can take whatever I want now.
00:02:08.000 I have a disease.
00:02:09.000 Stealing is officially a disease.
00:02:11.000 If having addiction is a disease, And the choice at the start of it completely has nothing to do with your own personal responsibility, and you have absolutely zero part to play because you're ill.
00:02:22.000 Well, then I'm ill.
00:02:23.000 I'm ill too, and stealing is my affliction.
00:02:26.000 So I want you all to feel sorry for me.
00:02:29.000 So when I go to court, I want all of you to be protesting outside that the judges don't understand that I have a disease.
00:02:34.000 It's not my fault I steal.
00:02:35.000 It's not my fault that I get up, get dressed, go to the place where I'm stealing from, consciously try and hide my action, steal whatever I steal, and leave because I have a disease.
00:02:44.000 And I want the entire justice system to reflect that.
00:02:47.000 Just like with the junkie.
00:02:48.000 Everyone feels sorry for them, they get counseling.
00:02:51.000 Millions and millions of dollars are spent trying to rehabilitate these diseased people.
00:02:55.000 That's what I deserve for my stealing.
00:02:57.000 I want exactly the same thing.
00:02:59.000 In fact, if you're a murderer, it's not your fault.
00:03:02.000 It's a disease.
00:03:03.000 Yeah, you made a choice to chop that person's head off, but if you didn't do it, you might have been unhappy because they really annoyed you.
00:03:08.000 And the only way you could think of to satisfy your urge was to fuck them up, so you went and did it.
00:03:13.000 And even though you made a choice at the beginning, it's not your fault.
00:03:15.000 Addiction is a disease, stealing is a disease, anything bad anyone does on earth is a disease.
00:03:21.000 None of us are responsible for anything we do.
00:03:24.000 There's zero personal responsibility involved in any of it.
00:03:27.000 We're just feathers in the wind, floating through life, hoping we don't catch some terrible affliction that allows us to steal, not allows, compels us to steal.
00:03:37.000 Orbit watermelon chewing gum.
