Yeah, because I’m thinking, that the root problem should be the focus instead of blaming a symptom…

By now I’m not sure, if you don’t want to understand what I’m trying to say, *or if I hit a nerve - which I didn’t intend to do.
~~I’m got education so people can finally be self responsible and I just don’t see this as a bad thing. ~~ I have no clue, what the original idea of sentence structure was, but here what I meant: If education would be good, we could give people more self responsibility - and that’s what I would really like to see (adding: because then people won’t long for a leader) Blaming a drug alone keeps this shit happening, as it’s missing my main point, that this is a social problem, not a drug problem.
If you get rid of all opiates, people with problems will drink - and a withdrawal from alcohol can by deadly on its own, while one from opiates isn’t.
But this isn’t about a competition of drugs, this is about the social problem, where we don’t treat people with problems or give them a way to deal with itWe’re all just one fuck up away of losing our home.
Of course people turn to drugs, to deal with their shit, as they don’t see another way out.
You have to give everyone some fucking perspective and some options, else it’s just hopeless.And of course, this isn’t the only problem, where people turn to drugs.
We also use drugs medically, but some people try to self medicate and get into problems.
I just don’t see how we can solve this by blaming a drug, when the problem is in a complete different department
Edit: just saw some auto correct mistake
Edit 2: seems I had a stroke
I never retracted anything, I just made myself clear (again), that the problem is a social one and you can’t just blame stuff like drugs
I just can’t stand the argument, that drugs are the whole problem - because it leads to even more social problems and can be used as an excuse for war by a government
I didn’t want to get personal, but you told me I’m lying, while I just said what my experience was - and if at least 2 dozens others I know.
There are also people who had problems with opiates, speed, coke, alcohol etc
But all of those tried to keep their social role up with the help of substances. And I personally struggled sometimes as well, as it’s an easy relief (for some honeymoon phase). But I couldn’t stand being dependant on something and so never really developed that exact problem.
I was always aware, that I’m trying to cope with something and that is my actual problem.That was my sole critic
And let’s maybe try again:
I think, we’re having a social problem.
Just like guns can’t be freely distributed in our current society, drugs shouldn’t be as well.
But it’s a social problem. A gun doesn’t kill someone, a drug doesn’t forcefully inject itself into you.
They are things, they can’t be blamed.We need to work on the social problems, that give us gun violence and drug problems.
But we should start by taking responsibility.
Drug land isn’t Disney land, where nothing can hurt you.Edit: that’s why I think education is so important, and everywhere we’re cutting it down and blame stuff instead
Of course, because a thing that can’t act on its own is a very weird thing to blame.
People have some might over their decisions - at least in my understanding of a free will.
I can’t blame something. I can blame a doctor who didn’t tell me everything or a dealer lying to me, but I can’t blame a substance
I didn’t say that
They are dangerous, but they are also commonly used in medical situations - like pretty much any surgery
Why isn’t everyone becoming a junkie?
In my personal experience, everyone having trouble of getting rid of an opiate addiction, tried to mask some other problems with it.
The drug itself can’t be really blamed, because it’s not jumping into your mouth.
People put it there.So, why do they do it?
They shouldn’t be handed out like candy, as they did in the USA.
I’m with you on that.
Still doesn’t make my stuff a lie, especially what I said about myself
That was not what I meant to do
I’m not blaming anyone.
I’m just saying we should focus more on mental health problems, than punishing drug crimes - because drugs aren’t the problem, but how we as a society handle people with problemsI thought, I made that clear enough with the “trying to function” part
Isn’t that a pretty dangerous argument?
I don’t see any difference between male and female ability in regards to intelligence.
Saying that their brain develops differently seems like an invitation to the argument, that women aren’t mentally able to do the stuff men do.And I’m a cis-male - but I want to have every individual to live free regarding to their own will.
What do I care what you do in your bedroom and with whom or how anyone there identifies?Propaganda for “traditional” baby-bearing systems are usually fascist and prepare for war, because they need more people to die at the front.
How can anybody be interested what I’m fucking doing with myself or my partner?
It’s just my/our personal thing and it should be of no one’s interest.Else, where do we stop?
Should we make anal sex illegal, because we need babys?Fuck all this shitheads trying to influence everybodies lives, just because everyone should live the same life as they do
Ok, got maybe a bit of topic, but I’m a bit picky, when it comes to differences between male and female brain development - and in the end capacity
Sometimes I’m just afraid something new will destroy my love for the thing
Like Dune, I’ve loved them books, but the old movies were just trash and I was really anxious about the new ones.
Weights for fishing (lines) are usually made of lead - at least in my youth they were
Nope, absolutely not common
Just saw a handful in the last 1-2 years
But can’t remember to have them seen before, so yeah, comes as a suprise that this stuff is suddenly here
Practically still a wire - but with superconductivity
I’m pretty sure you could sell bubbly baths to men, just by arguing about the heat insulation of the foam and how much more effective it is to keep the water warm

I’m not sure if there are exceptions.
In the last years I’ve seen quite some big trucks in my city - something with RAM?
but as you can probably see, I’m not really a truck guy and have no clue
AFAIK the thread was about green and black tea - and suddenly there was rooibos.
So I was more focused on the tea plant itself and the variations we get/make from it

8·10 days agoI’m currently quite happy with GrapheneOS on an older getting pixel, but as you said, the choice in platforms is pretty much non existent.
So, I’m rooting for Jolla - and hopefully even some more diversity
I’m currently pretty hyped with my pre-order Hopefully it works out… Although I’m afraid my banking apps will be on risk and I’ll need an alternative
If anyone with Sailfish OS (and their android compatibility layer) running could chime in…










Nice to puke on anothers experience just because it doesn’t match with your opinion
I didn’t say that a lot of people can handle it now, because we are facing a social problem and we shouldn’t distribute it freely
It’s not my fault, when you don’t read more than the first sentence
And now I’m fed up with this “discussion”
You don’t want to hear another perspective anyway
Wish a good new year, hopefully we don’t land in this situation again.
