You are purposefully missing my point.
Scumbags are scumbags. Blaming inanimate objects for their scumbag behavior is illogical. Blame the scumbag. Quit getting your panties in a wad about inanimate objects.
Or better yet, hold the scumbag responsible to go to the Lord and mend his ways.
They are "inanimate objects" when they are sitting on a table. When they get to your brain, they become part of your thinking (or lack thereof) process. They are no longer inanimate, they are now part of your consciousness. The consumer makes them "animate."
It's just like a vial of cholera. It's harmless on a table, but introduce it to your biology and it can become a deadly threat to everyone around you.
