tell me, though, aside from the fire breather's lung issues & the flame being so close to your face, how is the danger of doing fire spinning any less than that the danger of fire breathing?

I can be told that a plate is hot and touching it will be painful, and I will learn something.
I can burn my hand on said hot plate and I will have learnt something too.
I personally, would prefer someone to tell me the plate is hot and I believe I will learn just as much from them doing so as from burning myself.
(...)
Which child is better off, the child who has burnt his hand, or the one who never will?

I think its pretty general to say 'well no one seems to mind people getting high', so how can they complain about people doing stupid human tricks with fuel and fire? I for one am not in any part of that 'general consensus'. Many people say they are okay with it because they know that it doesn't matter what they say- people will still do it, and they feel their words are wasted. Its why people don't speak up against Fire Breathing- but people should speak up.

I've always been a big boofhead and was smoking and drinking all my life(...) I've recently become interested in tough drugs like Heroin, and have been shooting up over the last two weeks or so. (...) I may be get some pot from a friend pretty soon, and im looking forward to it.
And also, I KNOW HEROIN IS DANGEROUS! I am fully aware of the risks, this post is only to find out more about the toxicity of smack, and any tips I can get on perfecting my newbie pumping goodness.
So please tell me: where can I get good stuff, how can I tell whether it's good stuff or not, how much do I take at a time and how do I make sure to find the vein?

If we would now supply informations, would you approve, Dave?
You're saying that people here on the board are pretty laid back and accepting when it comes to recreational drug abuse... even though this is a vast generalisation, I wonder which drugs you're referring to? Tobacco, alcohol, pot, amphetamines, hallucinogens, cocaine or heroin? (in this order).

You have just advocated for "abstinence-only education." That is a disproven philosophy for reducing harm.
The only way to effectively engage in harm-reduction is to educate people about the precautions they should take and the risks that they are taking by engaging in a risky activity. They should also know alternatives.

I did not write this article to deprive people of information. I am a strong believer in free will and I will not participate in any paternalistic attempt to withhold valuable information about firebreathing on a fire website.
If this site removes valuable information in an attempt to provide abstinence-only education in regards to firebreathing or any other activity within its scope, I will withdraw any contributions I have made to the site and I will leave. I find abstinence-only education to be unethical, immoral, not in the public interest, and contrary to the Hippocratic Oath.

As for spinning. You know, one of the most overlooked and underconcidered things with fire spinning is that we are standing in the middle of a black cloud of smoke laced with fuel particles, kevlar particles and who knows what else. I would have to say the fire isn't nearly as dangerous as the smoke..................
Now, yes, it truly depends on how frequently you spin with fire, but the side effects of cotton mouth, coughing and black boogies tell me it isn't the safest of choices to do either, not in the long run but in the end they are all choices, aren't they?
