How would a society where the majority of the voters were addicted to porn, drugs, and gambling change?

Question

Specifically, do you think the laws would become more liberal or less liberal and why?

I asked this question in another category to see if the responses would be very different. Thanks All.

Answer 1

~~~ Good question canron4peace! Now ,if we're assuming that these voters are actually out there voting (on the right day),I'd say of course the laws would become more liberal,because most people don't want to go to jail for doing things that come natural to them. Such as drug abuse or other addictions which may be restricted by laws. I don't know anything about porn or gambling so I won't comment on how I think things would change there, but I do know about drug addictions. I've often wondered how society would change if all drugs were legalised. I think it would cut down on alot of crime and free up room in the prisons and jails for more deserving individuals. I doubt that will ever happen though, because most junkies don't have it together enough to go vote. Too bad, the cops should be focusing on catching the real criminals. They know who they are. ~~~

There can be several turns on this. The sky is no limit as to what can occur.

One key word here is -- majority. A majority is ~ 50.1 %. So maybe, too, we must consider that by majority we mean and might speculate on the qualitative influences as well as look at straight numbers and percentages.

Another word here is, addicted.

Maybe what imports most is, such a society would not be a society at all but a gaggle, a mere point of activity sharing a consensus of instability without the capacity to deliberate or write laws of any efficacy, for there would exist too little intelligence evident for this state of unrest to have arisen in the first place; no evident incentive will have existed to write laws that assume it can carry and endure as a society.

Liberalism or conservatism here are misnomers I suppose, because you would have to have one or the other first to measure the second and determine where next to proceed.

Such a scenario as you are giving us is at once both the extremes of liberalism and conservatism interacting with no inherent controls whatsoever -- rather, an explosion has occurred.

In your scenario, all founds on passion and not civility, most if not all is in disorder and chaos; thus this condition would resolve to actions by attrition -- and the result, the last man standing, the one most inherently centerd and stable -- unless of course some outside source steps in to quiet the scramble.

And perhaps these two factors would be the inherent solution that would hold sway.

But mine is as arbitrary a thought as any -- of course. But I think we could best ascertain by observing this very thing occurring now in certain parts of the world.

They would change to reflect that which is dominate belief of the rule of law. And if the majority wants change, so it appears that addiction would no longer be such and porn, drugs and gambling would be wide open. It's been that way in the past, all things evolve, some evolve spirit ward, or backwards.....we as humans don't appear to learn too much from history. But I guess baby steps are better than none at all. Right...

Answer 4

to change the society one has to look at the way society is running and also why it is running the way it is doing so..


your point that How would a society where the majority of the voters were addicted to ****, drugs, and gambling change? ... is really valid and serious and has far reaching impact on the nation and world over. If given serious thought , we can see the end of war , poverty and exploitation.

Let us look at this.. A society is collection of Individuals , males females .
they contribute by way of services, production, and taxes..

They will need some entertainment which is legally morally and socially approved by Govt, Religions and Society.

An Adult learns to behave the way he is conditioned from Childhood..
So a child learns from parents behaviour.. who are addicted to addicted to ****, drugs, and gambling, ..

so change can start from here. .Separate the children from these type of neurotic parents who are otherwise blemish on social health.

secondly child/youth should not be in the atmosphere of easy sex in School, colleges,

Drugs should be experimented in controlled manner to show the ill effects on health

Religious leaders go on hammering against sex as dirty, sin, not to be enjoyed.. so a Double Bind situation develops in the mind of youth..

body demands sex and preachers talk it as sin..
this creates ground for neurtic behaviour and youth feels insecure of self, guilty fearful they drink and turn to Drugs.. and also in the name of having easy money to finance the drugs habits, go for gambling..

thus to develop the healthy society, needs healthy genreation, ,needs healthy youth, needs healthy homes..

Answer 5

I think I more Liberal, well same feather flock together and they, once a person have already started doing something that cannot be resisted will be doing until the end...

Answer 6

Conscientiously, and therefore their own benefit. The chemicals don't balance, irregardless of spirituality, and that is truth.
