| It's a losing game putting out reasonable arguments as to why this hysteria is bad. Some people want to control others and just don't care what the reality is. They would never ban alcohol, they consume it. They would never ban cars; they drive them. They would never ban fast food; they eat it. They will never ban sugar; they love it. All of these things have cause a million times more misery than opioids ever have, by all measurable statistics (deaths, injury, domestic violence, etc) But if there is something someone is doing that they aren't, their measurement of pros and cons will change. Statistics and comparable things of pleasure/damage will never be considered. |
HN is also guilty of this in otver contexts.
