Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The negative things are what give people instant satisfaction!. If the short term effects of people's actions are satisfying they will choose to do those things!. People can't see the long term effects of the positive things, like giving charity, raising a family, not gambling, abstinence, not drinking, not smoking, reading books, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Seems to me that this is a blanket assumption that we all love the same things!. That's not true for all of us!.

also, not all of us hate the positive!. In fact, I don't know many who DO hate the positive!. In fact, most of us respond quite favorably to positives such as love, acceptance, compassion, etc!., etc!.

So, in my mind, that makes this question a moot point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is no "good" and "bad"!. There is only what you perceive to be good and bad!. You think drugs and teen sex is bad!? Other people think its good!. You have to realize teenagers have been having sex all throughout human time!. Since the human life expectancy was lower hundreds or thousands of years ago, teenagers got married and had children because they were pretty much at the half point in their lives!. They didnt think it was bad back then, so what makes it different now!? A few hundred years!? Just because time passes makes it wrong!? Since when are drugs bad!? I only believe drugs are bad when they are ABUSED!. And for example, marijuana is a plant grown from the ground!. It is natural!. I believe if it is on this planet it is suitable for humans!. Its only frowned upon because of the ABUSERS and cause trouble and it turns out they were high when they did it!.

People love negative things because they are held away from them!. People want what they cant have, its human nature!. I bet if alcohol were legal at any age, it wouldnt be as special!. There are some civilization throughout time that used drugs and hallucinogens and it was fine for them because it was tradition!. Thing are only bad when the government says they are bad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The question is fucusing on only half of the truth and with the given cases, people who indulge in such cases can be called reactionists!. They react to anything that is established for the good of the whole!. It is like the opposition parties in Philippine politics!. They react to whatever is decided on by the admin party without thinking only because they are the opposition!. Thus there is no good in the admin party!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it just satifies the human mind!. I mean whats more interesting a story about a teenager who is having sex constantly while shooting up or some old grandma knitting!.!.!.while that may have been a horrible analogy i think you get the idea!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a dark-side in all of humanity!. We like to see bad things, that make us feel better about ourselves!. We love to say "I'm glad that I'm not like that!." Plus, people are perverted!.
And nobody wants to see good things, because either they already have them, or they're jealous!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Emotions!. An evolutionary left over!. Good is usually boring!. Bad is exciting!. When we lived closer to nature we were in fear for our lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
