Yes, it makes society better.
How does SSM make society better?
You can be vague or specific but I'd like to know.
More people have the freedom to live the life they want.
Standard murder etc disclaimer applies.
I'm not convinced that more people having the freedom to live the life they want is better.
A few states have legalized the use of pot. As an ex-doper, I recognize that the buzz of pot pretty much robs one of ambition. Maybe it's just for a few hours, maybe it's for the rest of your life. It's nice to be mellow but it can be taken way too far. I'm sure that you're all for the legalization of pot but do you at least understand the drawbacks?
Plenty of legal things have drawbacks. Alcohol, cheeseburgers, and cigarettes are three examples. Yet we have the freedom to use them if we want. Pot isn't any worse than alcohol.
But, keeping with your theme, what is the drawback of allowing gay marriage?
Why do dopers always say "It's no worse than alcohol?" It actually is. You can get stoned up in about 12 seconds. It takes a while to get ********* drunk. You have to put in some effort. Smoke outside, slip on a pair of shades and no one knows you're stoned unless you give it away with your actions. Drink a pint of whiskey and people smell it on you. Pot and alcohol aren't comparable in a lot of ways. I've never seen a bunch of stoners have a brawl over a dropped doobie.
Haven't we covered the many drawbacks of SSM in the previous 200+ pages?
So, I'll ask again, why do you insist on asking questions that have already been answered?
