The never ending creation of new drugs...

So sad that anyone even needs to turn to artificial happiness to survive.
 
scare tactics.........whatever happend to the 'natural order of things'?.......the kid who swallows too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own (who would have swallowed too many marbles yet again)
 
Wait sorry what is this about energy drinks?? I can't see anything about them... both links are the same PS, dono if you planned that or not
=P

But holy that throat slashing just sounds crazy! Can't believe this is sold in smoke shops...
 
what really doesn't make sense to me is that beer and whiskey do the same thing and no one cares to mention that
 
Do we really need these folks if they do such stupid things? Sad, but stupid... stupid.

Whatever one thinks about the purpose of life, most people agree that it involves rising above the mere struggle for existence.

Don't you?
 
It bothers me that there are people that want to ban bath salts because people are eating them, or snorting them or whatever there doing with them. You cant stop producing everything that would be harmful if used incorrectly. You cant fix stupid. Not to sound mean but some things you just have to let happen. If someone is looking to get high, there going to find a way. We are not going to stop it. But really, Bath salts! Come on.

No one wants to ban actual bath salts. This is about a drug that is called "bath salts" to evade the law.

From the link in the OP:
Quote:
"It’s confusing. Is this what we put in our bathtubs, like Epsom salts? No. But by marketing them as bath salts and labeling them 'not for human consumption,' they have been able to avoid them being specifically enumerated as illegal," Horowitz says.

Don't you?


yes! i do!.......but what most people don't get is that by letting the stupid live and then breed more stupid people, it makes living a bigger struggle for the intelligent....as long as we keep finding ways to save dumb, humanity itself is doomed to the stupidity it worked so hard to save. After that humanity is doomed to extinction....that like all that was before us from dust to dust fade to black

Agreed.

Here's the thing: "Stupid" is not an inherently genetic trait. It's the result of a combination of an individual and his or her environment. Someone who is brilliant in one context could be a complete idiot in another, and vice versa. You can't eradicate stupidity just by letting the "stupid" people kill themselves. The only way to get rid of it would be to make people and society completely uniform, which I'm sure you'll agree would be a nightmare.

Moreover, how do you define "stupid?" Where does innocent foolishness end and unforgivable idiocy begin? Who are you to make that call? Who is ANYONE to make that call? And since when is the disregard of sympathy a good thing for humanity? Perhaps all you mean by "stupid" is someone's propensity to die early. But it's clear that that is no longer the final word on someone's worth to humanity.

Now, I am NOT advocating a nanny-state in which people aren't allowed to make mistakes and own their failures. I'm just saying that "letting stupid people die" effectively involves either total authoritarianism or complete anarchy, neither of which is a good thing.
 
Wouldn't all the stupid people have been out of the gene pool?

I mean your theory has had maybe 40,000+ years to work now, and if it hasn't by now it's not going to.
 
Ever since the beginning of the "War on Drugs" people have been developing homemade synthetics to substitute drugs that got schedule 1 status. The inherent problem with making drugs illegal is that a lot of people still want to get high, so they look for alternatives. Often times the alternatives are just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than the drugs you can do serious jail time for.

Have you seriously never seen an idiot child of sensible parents, or a sensible child of idiot parents? Come on, now.

Yes, genes are a factor, but I promise you they are not the whole story.

Agreed fully.
