Off topic & small talk: Chatterbox (Page 1393)

I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. Not everyone is only responsible for themselves and it's also far too easy to break it down. Some people don't even have the mental strength to take responsibility for themselves.


Eat as much McD as you want, catch as many diseases as you want, but stop putting others in danger. Your example is not at all comparable to the topic of "drugs" because I am simply talking specifically about the fact that you are no longer in control of your senses. Drugs simply change your consciousness and that puts others in danger, in whatever form.

The vast majority of people are responsible for themselves. Every decision you make will affect your life. Each of us is mentally strong enough.

Of course it's comparable. You can develop addictive behavior. Is there a sugar addiction? Sugar doesn't change your consciousness, but it does change your eating habits and your mood. Best example: children You are what you eat. I haven't had any sweet drinks for 4.5 months and I notice the change. Also, McD's puts others at Risk and fast food can be addictive. You can become addicted to anything. It starts with the Happy Meal (back to the children). The psychology behind it is really awesome. Clever, but perfidious at the same time.

No, definitely not everyone is mentally strong enough. And yes, you yourself decide to get into the car drunk, but from then on you are certainly not only responsible for yourself. Because your responsibility can cost the lives of others, even though this could have been prevented if you hadn't been drinking. Every decision you make can also affect the life of another person. And no, not everyone is mentally strong enough. Many people have mental problems.


You write about addiction, although I am actually talking about harming others because you are not in control of your senses. And if we're talking about harming others because of substances, then we're talking about drugs! If I eat mekkes all the time, I'm harming myself and my body. I've never heard of anyone changing so much as a result of eating mekkes that they committed a crime. It happens a lot with drugs (alcohol is one of them). So your comparison is really garbage. I repeat, my contribution is not primarily about addiction but about what happens (to other people) when he takes it. This also happens without an addiction when consuming these substances!

For sure they can, but just as sure they are not registered on GJ - at least not unless Matthias is sitting in Malta with a PSC printer and has to write here every day "Sorry, daily limit reached", as is often the case with gas stations.

In addition, these are German PSC cards that were not obtained through a prohibited act, such as illegal gambling. The whole thing was merely the result of remuneration, as is the case with Freecash and the like. Here, everyone is responsible for declaring the amount in their income tax - incidentally, this is also stated in almost all terms of use.

frapi07 wrote on 08.01.2025 at 16:23: GJ buys them. From there it will be traceable to the place of purchase (let's take a German online store). GJ doesn't sell them on either, but gives them away. It's like getting one at the gas station and giving it away as a lottery ticket. Paysafe can trace it back to the petrol station, but no further. I think it could be the same here, although I don't know the internal details.

That's what I was getting at, whether you have to worry now because the GJ Paysafecards are from here and you might be exposing yourself to an illegal act.

I don't think I expressed myself well enough. Regarding McDonalds or other companies: the companies produce unhealthy products. Products that harm several generations, see USA. It's a much bigger crime that companies that are only out to win are putting people on unhealthy food that causes serious illness and affects billions of people than someone driving drunk and causing harm, BUT: it would be just as bad to ban it. I mean, you can visit the yellow M once a month. But the problem is that such products have slowly crept into everyday life. If I compare this with my younger childhood (when I was still living in Italy), I can see that the frequency of visits has increased. The main reason: McDonalds only had one branch - at the train station of a larger city, I live very close to McDonalds and it wouldn't take me 5 minutes to get to the McDrive. In addition, fast food chains were more accepted by society and the trend towards eating out (Lieferando and co.).

I understand that people harm others when they are drunk or under the influence of drugs (sometimes even fatally). But a ban wouldn't do any good because these things would then be obtained illegally. Prohibition in the United States - Wikipedia Please read it, because it says exactly what I told you (especially in the 3rd paragraph). It's also logical. A ban would therefore achieve very little and these things would continue to cause crime.

So, whether it's unhealthy food or any other substance, you have to know your limits and not abuse these things. Anyone who seriously tries is capable of doing this.

Never mind leave it. I'm interested in drugs and what they do to others. I'm not interested in some big corporation and any weighing up of which is worse or better.


It's also fundamentally about restrictions. 0.0 blood alcohol limit would also be great, otherwise your driver's license would be taken away for a few months. Only allowing it in closed rooms would probably also have an effect on adolescents and then how they deal with alcohol later in life.

And no, you're not always able to. I know that 100% because it affects me and my life so far. And it really p**ses me off when you try to judge it from above like that! In this case, you just don't seem to have a clue.
