sometimes people get sd
sometimes life is cruel
shit happens
that is my EXACT POSTION
Substance abuse is one of the single largest drags on human society.
It literally killed the Chinese fucking Empire. Or do you not remember the Opium Wars?
no SHIT the world is crulel
only an autist would interpret my statements as 'soft'
people neeed DISCPLINE
you can provide that with penalty OR incentive
No, they need purpose.
Substance abuse brought down China, after two thousand years of steady rule with only minor hiccups.
It's currently bringing down the United States.
incentive is FAR more effective
This is where commies were right.
otherwise, we'd pick totaltiarianissmm
rateher than free markets driven by incentive
Give people something to do - together - and they will support each other.
And it doesn't even need to be The Great Cause.
No they won't.
give people an incetive to to do something togetehr
THEY do
Have you ever seen a former methhead who goes to church? They're a huge fucking drag everywhere they go. A perpetual blight on society.
i have know meth heads personally
and each one turned to drugs because they didn't have any other influence in their life
Party culture is a thing. The adherents of said culture actively try to recruit others into their "culture," and their "party culture" is a huge part of why the United States is struggling right now.
they weren't challenged or were given cards i mpossible to play
not everyone is the same
some can't fucntion under pressure
some can't function WITHOUT pressure
Lol I wouldn't absoove them of their responsibility for heir own downfall
Party culture is there because youngsters - and middle-aged - don't have anything better to do.
and those that turn to drugs usually are the later
Or it's expensive, which is the same.
In my experience, the deserving poor are out there. Even people on disability. Most of them are just kind of lost, as if they're waiting for their life to attain some kind of purpose.
Party culture is a purpose in and of itself. Party animal types are not searching for meaning. They have it.
Legalize drugs and you'll probably start to see things get less shit
they don't feeel alive unless they are on the edge
With that lot
in your world, they feel dead
Legalized drugs, cuts into criminals pockets
They lose money
because your world is rather dull
