It is true.
In France, there’s something called “SIAE”, an acronym which basically regroups all forms of associations and companies dedicated to the social integration of the most fragile segments of the population.
I intervene at the end of the integration journey, where people have already dealt with their biggest challenges (addiction, lack of personal hygiene, severe depression that prevents them from waking up in the morning and go to work, etc.) and are ready to get a job and work, but still need help to find an employer who’ll give them a chance.
It’s pretty neat and fulfilling.
Can you share it as well?
Because, what I want you to keep in mind is that when I say: “I want to ban all addictives substances”, it’s not an isolated idea.
I of course want to make sure that those who need help in this regard are properly taken care of, so that the damage done by the ban is minimal.
At the end of the day, I’m fully aware that the current generation would obviously suffer from such a ban, because there are hundreds of millions of addicts.
However, I also do believe that all the generations born after us who would grow in a drug free world would usher in a healthier society and a better world overall.
I don’t agree with the OP of this post for the most part but I’m not a huge fan of Wrathion and Sabellian either so far.
At first Sabellian looked like he was going to be the adult of the two but he’s just as childish as Wrathion so I kinda wanna slap them both but we’ll see how they develop.
What is defined as an addictive substance? Both as what is the limit for how much alcohol and/or caffeine a product can contain (tea, sour milk), and how dynamic will it be in regards to new types of substances with addictive traits.
Enforcing the legislation, we already know that the ‘war on drugs’ is moot due to the never-demising existence of illegal drugs. For not to forget that alcohol is much easier to produce illegal at home, which brings us to the next point:
Sickness and death risk from consuming products of varying quality from ever-changing sources. Look at how bad drugs or ethanol kills people today. All avoidable by legalisation and regulation of the whole production line to ensure safe products of high quality.
The only kind of restriction of addictive substances I can be in favour of is one reasoned by a health standpoint - as in how much damage each specific type of substance does to the body based given how they are used. Some are inhaled, some are consumed, and some are injected. Some types of addictives and ways of usage is healthier/less damaging than others, you can’t count all as equal. Safe products in safe environments beats hazardous products in stigmatising environments.
This would indeed require more time to define in depth.
Addiction wouldn’t be the only criterion either, toxicity and neurotoxicity are quite important too.
It’s moot because we’re too soft and it’s barely enforced.
What was the motive to make this thread. Not going to bash you just genuinely curious
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I wish I saw more of the less represented races
That is neither civil, nor respectful.
You want to discriminate against new players by forcing them to roll a Race they don’t want to, or roll on a realm they don’t want to be on because they can have their preferred race on that realm.
I see our forum has brought forth the next Karl Marx with an even worse version of the Stalin-Communism.
OP, in all honesty you should consider to get yourself committed to a mental institution. Because in my 24y on this planet I have never read before something so harebrained than your idea for a video game here.
By other words there are no clear point where a line of legality can be set. Which with your attitude make a slippery slope where anything containing any traces of illegal substances is banned and demonised.
I can see angry mobs burning milk- and fruit farms, and farmers being witch-hunted.
Such a society will keep create stigmatisation and exclusion, this time with a higher degree of violence and homicide.
That is not the outcome. Both homicide- and drug-related deaths will increase with your solution as you wont be able to remove drugs completely from the society. Rather you will get even harsher conditions and even more violent gangs producing, distributing and selling drugs, and the main victims will be your clients.
Legalisation and strict regulation on the other hand will decrease both drug-related homicide and drug-related deaths due to safer environments and safer products, removing the criminal gangs from the equation altogether.
