Why is unhealthy food considered different to certain illegal drugs? (2 Viewers)

[staticsiscool]

There seems to be a large amount of posters who think

a) all illegals drugs are extremely harmful and should be illegal even though this impinges on our freedom etc

b) the government cannot force us to eat healthy foods via the banning of unhealthy (therefore harmful) and addictive foods because this would impinge on our freedom




Lol you guys

how can you justify these views

illegal drugs are likely to negatively effect people around you, ie family members and bystanders.

where being fat doesn't effect other people that much (relative to other drugs)

 

[staticsiscool]

Yeah MDMA is likely to make me love them heaps and want to hug them so I guess you Are right

 

[staticsiscool]

Cigarettes and alcohol cause far more harm to others


Do you see why you are extremely hypocritical

 

[spartan31234]

no, because alcohol and cigarettes are regulated

Being fat is a negative influence because it often leads to depression and self-esteem issues and also increased healthcare costs. You say "ciggies and booze is okay because its regulated." so why don't we regulate MDMA and marajuana?

We do.

 

[Cazic]

We do.

You don't think that maybe he was asking about an equivalent set of regulations to those for cigs and booze? Just maybe?

 

[Riet]

we don't regulate them. We ban them flat out and force people to get them from drug dealers.

I don't even like smoking marajuana but can see that it should be regulated similar to tobacco and alcohol. Like tobacco in that it has warning against smoking etc., like alcohol in that you shouldnt drive while under the influence.

the only time government needs to protect people is when their liberty is under threat

hence, drugs should be legal, driving whilst under their influence should not

Is that even true? How does smoking a few joints affect your family members in comparison to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease, etc. associated with obesity?

 

[staticsiscool]

how does having a pill containing some mdma compare with being a fat cunt who has a blood alcohol reading of .208

lol you kids

and your misinformed hypocracy

 

[Slidey]

We do.

No we don't. Could you stop being so ignorant for once?
