OK, the "sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll" vs "lawyers, guns, and money" thread is totally one-sided and far too easy. Let's up the ante:

No because gender discrimination is wrong, women should be allowed to enjoy sex just as much as men and should be allowed to enjoy it as often as they want.

Sex, rock 'n roll, and welfare-level poverty, of course. Since it actually allows for the propagation of the human race.

I'm sure such a totally business oriented society would have cloning or something like that. In fact, that would probably explain why there was no sex.Dalton wrote:Sex, rock 'n roll, and welfare-level poverty, of course. Since it actually allows for the propagation of the human race.

Sex and rock'n'roll I'm fine with, but not drugs. Poverty is a slight minus, but I can live with that.
I just can't fucking stand clean, sterile environments.

hmmm...can we have both? Lets say I start out with sex, drugs and rock and roll. Get all the sex I'll ever need then become a lawyer then get all the money I'll ever need? Actually that sounds like a good plan.

youd still become a despised lawyer, which wuld force me to dislike you. I have an iherent distrust of anyone who knows and can contort the law better than I do.

As long as I have my friends around I'm fine, hell who needs money? It's nice but if i can't have sex, I can't have a family and that's not on! I wouldn't mind living in poverty if I could make sure my family got an education, clothes, accommodation and food, and if I work for it - So I'm providing for them, but there's only a few £'s left over for me (that would be Welfare-level poverty, without having to be on Welfare and leeching off society), after paying for everything they need - then I'm fine. No 'recreational' drugs though and, as I'm in the UK, I don't need to worry about Health insurance as the NHS will provide medical care.

It boggle my mind that 6 people so far have chosen to go without sex for the rest of their lives. The only way I'm going without sex is if my dick gets chopped off, and if that happens I'll kill myself.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Who cares if you're poor? That's what drugs and booze are for. Being as I'm never going to be rich anyway, I'll take sex, drugs, rock 'n roll, and poverty.

With the sex, drugs, and rock, if I don't like wallowing in squalor, I always have the drugs to take a decade or two off of my lifespan.
However, I would prefer being rich and powerful, kind of like the villian in a movie. They're only bad guys because they can't get laid, after all. I spent fifteen years on this planet without sex, I'm sure I can take another 50-85 years of it.

Not exactly phobia, just unwillingness, and suppression. Heavy indoctrination. I mean I know there is nothing wrong with it, I'm just uneasy when it is discussed.

Depends. Keith Richards has lived into his sixties, I believe (ignore the fact he's officially the ugliest man on the face of the Earth). Jimi Hendrix didn't didn't take nearly so many drugs as Keith and he died young.Zoink wrote:With the "drugs" part, what is my expected life-span for option #1?
