You’re making a false equivalence there, comparing a drug to a human being with thoughts and feelings. If you change your sentence to “I would abuse my partner if I had one”, one involving an actual human being, people would be telling you to get therapy even if you remained single, because it’s unhealthy way to think about human beings.
I’m not equating abusing alcohol to abusing people, it was a poor word choice on my part, I should’ve said something like “drink too much alcohol” to make that more clear. I’ll edit that so it doesn’t look like that’s what I’m doing.
I don’t think you understand my rebuttal. My point is that you’re equating a substance abuse problem with treating someone with basic respect. They are fundamentally different issues.
I’m equating people’s desires to avoid those situations. Not the situations themselves.
I see. I don’t necessarily see those as equal either, but I respect your opinion.
