No, they are a problem. So is social media and pornography. Masturbating every day, being on social media or mindlessly browsing the internet for hours every day, and spending 10 hours a day playing video games. These things have been normalized. These things are a problem for humanity and we all need to have a conversation about it.
People come after me for being anti-drug and say “alcohol is legal!” And I’m at the point where I’m just like “you know what, I would make that trade. Alcohol is involved in half of all violent crime and over half of all fatal car accidents, we should outlaw that too. I would honestly outlaw it just to get you to shut up about making meth legal.” Of course, then I get called a fascist, or an equivalent, even on here.
I love to relax with 1-2 quality cold beers occasionally. But obviously 1) people can’t be trusted with alcohol, 2) idiots won’t shut up about how we should have no rules of any kind because alcohol is legal, and 3) prohibition fucking worked (alcohol consumption was cut by 30-70% during different parts of prohibition, despite loopholes).
Alcohol just isn’t worth it.
I mean for fucks sake, we just had cities brought to their knees, police defunded and murdered, violent crime skyrocketing, and businesses burned down, because the police had to arrest a guy for drunk driving (and the drunk wasn’t having any of it, likely because he was fucking drunk)
And their argument is “well it’s just going so gosh darn well with alcohol, let’s make meth and heroin legal too!” Fuck.
Nah man we can keep alcohol. No reason to allow big government to control more of what people are allowed to do in their free time.
This is a free country. I’ll drink at home or at a bar with my friends if I damn well please and you will not catch me voting for conservatives if they start playing the moral superiority card on Americans again with that bullshit.
Sure we can. But it costs tens or hundreds of thousands of lives a year. And retards will use it constantly for their idiotic “all drugs should be legal” arguments, because they’ve never studied history and don’t know things like alcohol was crippling America before prohibition, or that the Chinese empire was effectively destroyed by opium.
Drug and alcohol abuse are largely a symptom of a dysfunctional society. People self medicate when they dont hsve pleasure or meaning in their lives. Also if we can eradicate most child abuse we would drastically reduce drug and alcohol abuse to near elimination. Being a victim of child abuse is main culprit (even when people dont realize that's what it is)
Drug and alcohol prohibition is only treating the symptom, not the cause.
The biggest predictor of a young man being a murderer is being raised by a single mother. Should we legalize murder and prohibit single motherhood? Does that make ANY FUCKING SENSE AT ALL???
Drug and alcohol prohibition is extremely effective, and a much easier solution, and I’ve never seen evidence that what you assert is true. Should we allow drunk driving because it’s a “symptom of a drinking problem” which is a “symptom of child abuse”? Your argument is so fucking stupid.
Seriously. Video games aren't the problem. Drugs and alcohol are.

Just masturbated to this post
Isn’t masturbating pretty normal?
Yes. Masturbating every day, and to weirder and weirder genres of porn, is not.

In actually not arguing in favor of either. just sharing facts
