(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My friend and I were arguing about this today and we still have to finish the argument. But I was curious to see which you guys think is worse.

I'm not going to say what I think yet, but I want to know why you guys chose what you chose.


Edit: By CHEATING I mean copying, stealing someone's work, making yourself have an unfair advantage, getting the answers for a test, rigging a competition, etc. I am NOT talking about disobeying your bitch and getting it on with another girl.

Alcohol shouldn't be sided with illegal drugs BTW.

Illegal drugs aren't as morally wrong in my opinion. I realize there is a portion of the population that can truly do them as they wish without becoming addicted. Chances are I'm not one of those people due to my genetics. I worry more for those who do said drugs thinking they won't become addicted, but actually get hooked such as me.

I would have to say, without any hesitation that cheating is worse however it depends what you mean by 'cheating'. Do you mean 'cheating on a partner' as in, having sex with someone else behind their back, or do you mean 'cheating on a test', which while it undermines the system is no where near as bad morally in my opinion or do you mean 'cheating someone out of weath', such as when con-men trick people into giving up their money, which in my opinion is awful and cruel. It's an ambiguous term.

As for illegal drugs and or alcohol. I see no moral issue here at all. It's your body you should be allowed to put whatever you want into it.

I disagree, from a moral point of view, alcohol is nothing more than a mind altering addictive substance. Just because our government sells this one with high levels of tax, yet bans Cocaine or Methamphetamine doesn't make one more or less morally right, it just means our government is hypocritical.

Alcohol is not on the same board as Coke or Meth, maybe marijuana. My point being that alcohol has been accepted longer and can be controlled much better. BTW I am for legalizing marijuana.

I'm sorry, I have to disagree. Alcohol is more addictive than most drugs, it causes unpredictable mood swings often resulting in violence and it causes irreversible deadly diseases such as Cirrhosis of the Liver. More people die to alcohol abuse than any other drug, and that includes Nicotine. The amount of violent crime cause by Alcohol is also considerably higher than any other drug and it's addictive qualities are so strong, stronger than all but the most powerful opiates such as Heroine, that alcoholics still feel withdrawal and cravings DECADES after they've quit drinking. Ecstacy, Marijuana, LSD, Cocaine, Psilocin (Magic Mushrooms), Thujone (Absinthe), Mescaline (Peyote), STP and Phenethylamines (Nexus, Infinity etc.) are all less harmful and less addictive. Just because the law and political campaigners make out as though Alcohol is the exception doesn't mean they're right. Far from it. There is actually excessive levels of misinformation on drugs and as a chemist, I find the laws on drugs baffling and rediculous.

Just so people are aware. I have in my lifetime tried Alcohol, LSD, Ecstacy and Thujone. The only one I enjoyed was Thujone in the forum of Absinthe (which is actually legal in UK although not in mainland Europe or USA, all USA absinthe has the Thujone removed and just puts excessive amounts of Alcohol in it to "make up for it". Any absinthe that's more than 40% is fake). I see little difference in any of those drugs and in both cases I was slipped LSD and Ecstacy without my knowledge. They both made me very ill, as did Alcohol for that matter. For this reason I am teetotal and have been for 6 years. (Yes, that's no drugs of any kind including alcohol).

This is like asking what's worse, stubbing your toe or breaking your leg, lol. Drugs can affect you really long term, and is the more moral defying action

Yes, but drugs are what you are doing to yourself, you are not directly affecting others.

Then again, I feel morality is odd. It changes very often and continues to change today. For instance, if I asked someone on this site if they rob houses, they would say its wrong. But ask about piracy and it's all good. Then again, that is more of ethics I suppose.

I can't dispute most of what you said, but this particular fact is a result of the considerably larger amount of people that drink alcohol as opposed to doing drugs.

But, that aside, I think cheating is clearly more morally wrong. Drinking and doing drugs doesn't hurt anyone but yourself. Unless you're driving, too. Then it would be morally wrong. But I digress.
