Why are you conservative, why are you liberal, why are you independent?

But what does a helpful confrontation with addiction look like?
An intervention?
REhab?
AA?
Jail.
Morality school?.

Scientists discovering the gene or genes that cause it would be helpful.

Because liberals aborting those with Down syndrome isn't brave new world enough for You?

Also, suppose in attempting to murder someone I unwittingly saved their life?

You mean the inverse of liberal welfare policy?

Looking for genetic solutions to societal problems is a good example of where liberalism takes us down a rabbit hole.

Much better to find societal solutions to genetic problems.

That's the tragedy, though. Liberals search for genetic solutions to social problems, and social solutions to genetic problems.

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Yeah, liberals are the worst.

We should all post-modern-ly destroy all Western Civ since the enlightenment, and finally be rid of the cancer of individual sovereignty.

Didnt you hear? The state needs babies, you Marxist.

Not going to happen.
No gene in sight for addiction.
Addiction is a strategy to manage goal incongruence and it's resultant stress response.
Avoidant strategies to avoid emotional pain result in a lack of successful approach strategies and the net result is a stress response that must be managed somehow... addiction is the somehow.
Some genes increase the likelihood of certain substance addictions over other mental health problems.... that does not imply a solution to the underlying problem by any stretch.

Huh? They already know there's a genetic component. Why would they not attempt to solve at least that part of the problem? We don't let diabetics die because they eat their feelings - we approach both the physical and mental ends of the disease.

Please, Neo-Marxist.

Nah. Marxists are the worst. It's sort of like when you feed a magui after midnight. Marxists are to liberals what gremlins are to magai.

You really are hysterical, aren't you.

As soon as somebody mentions that we ought not pretend like immoral behavior doesn't harm anybody else, you are a like, OMFG you want the state to force us to have babies!!

Do you even listen to yourself?
