i disagree there needs to be order in the land. drugs and illegal porn are items that cause crime and downward slide of society. they do not make things better, they cause harm to one self and others
even when someone does drugs and claims they have right to do what they like
they are in deed causing harm to others, as they are impairing their judgement and causing them to do bad things that harm people, either directly or indirectly.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Let's say I do drugs (alcohol for instance) Do you think it's ok for you to put me in a cage because it's your opinion, I harm myself directly or indirectly?
What if your opinion is that my eating habits are causing me harm or the people I cook for. Would than would you then use violence (harm me) to prevent me from (in your opinion) harming myself and others?
What do we do about people who hallucinate (without taking drugs) that they are the absolute decider of the universe en are so high on power, that they imagine the can use violence to impose their opinion on others and punish the sinners who don't abide by their commandments?
when it comes to the safety and well being of others, then what you are doing is a negative effect on other people , it could even encourage others do the same, then yes i think something would be needed to treat the problem or even just get rid of the problem. what ever means it would take to get that influence away from others.
"You" don't solve drugs or other problem through violence. That violence would even create more drugproblems or other problems. Sadly most people are addicted to violence because they do not want to take the responsibility upon themselves to help people in need of help, they want some violent entity to solve the problem for them. And try to create their idea of utopia with the violence of the state which always ends in more death, destruction and misery, than what the original problem consists of.
I don't do drugs alcohol etc. If someone has a drugs related problem I talk to them not get the state to put them in jail so it's not my problem anymore, I would not find myself a caring human being who tried to make the world a better place if I let them be kidnapped and locked up in a cage. But that's my personal opinion.
