There is no correlation. People of all incomes become addicted to all sorts of things. And it was perhaps wrong of me to phrase myself that way. I suppose the motivation for that parenthetical was just subconscious--as I've seen some

Then go to a thread about oxygen and water. This one's about opiates.

Even with heroin being illegal, I've seen people get it without a problem. They have to resort to no crime to get it other than getting it itself being a crime. But this hurts no one. What hurts people isn't getting it, it's

We're not talking about inherent bad, or about oxygen. We're talking about addiction to opiates, which ruins lives and kills people. I've seen it first hand. Stop this nonsense.

> No, it's a good thing. It means people that are addicted (by choice or not) don't need to resort to crime or desperation to buy essential medicines. This seems twisted to me. Okay, so they don't do crime, but they get th

Can you explain more how competition, availability, and legality will stop the more addiction-prone (low-income, chronic pain among other health problem) parts of society in America from doing drugs and becoming addicted? If I read your ar

I suppose ther person at hand and many others had things happen so unexpectedly and quickly that he might not have had time to mobilize all these requirements for a job. It bothers me that a handful of these problems seem possible to be eas

This is a great answer, and something I'd never thought of.

I didn't mean to imply that I'm unsympathetic toward the homeless--read my question again, I tried to be as clear as I can that I just need an explanation for the job thing. It's become more clear to me with other answers. O

I always have to wonder why people don't work at least minimum wage jobs, to solve the base problems like hunger. I apologize if I'm missing something or if I seem really ignorant. Actually, I realize I am totally ignorant in t

You're right, and I wasn't saying this article is groundbreaking, or that the progress is tremendous. I was just defending the figure/comparison as a reasonable one to make us aware of the progress in this early stage of EV

This exactly. I assume most people in Japan use cars for local trips/commuting and will return home at the end of the day. After all, they have a brilliant long-distance transport system that vastly eliminates the need of a car for lo

I wonder what the per-home number would look like relative to other countries. I'd think it's probably pretty high. Good for them, I say; they're still showing the rest of us that electric cars can work… and that takes a

I think it's reasonable to count those. People use them, maybe even more than public ones. They serve a huge purpose and are an important part of having electric cars in society. They're very much on-par with gas stations for t

I'm completely with you on this one. Downvoters have their hopes too low clearly.

This exactly. I deleted my Facebook years ago, and everyone about whom I care communicates with me via iMessage (short), Skype, and email--which in my view are the simple, not too problematic originals. My family, spread across two coast

We do not assume that violence would cease without guns. We just know that there would be less violence. And since we're not gun enthusiasts, it's a bit less violence at no cost to us. And at not too much costs to gun enthusias

I was gonna say, having heard a gunshot as well as the other stated things that could sound like gunshots, I think gunshots are categorically louder and more identifiable. That said, I'm not a gun expert so I could be wrong for differe

Because it's its own category of violence. Like any other category, it's not a matter of 'deserving', but rather just a statistic category so we can discuss and analyze it. What a strange question. Why do we discuss it

I'd also like to add that I am in fact interested in the history of Socialism, among other things taking off in this time period, and the book itself is still not in the slightest bit interesting to me. An explanation of why it's

Not much about Hitler is news to me, from any of these responses. I'm not discussing Hitler and what we can learn from him, however. I'm talking about the book, for which my point stands. It's very poorly written, full of h

It's always just been a handful. That goes for any good-doers of the world. Out of a pool of X people who are fortunate enough to have the capacity to do Y good thing, only a handful actually do it. Works well enough.
