Thats some strange logic. You have to weigh pros and cons.
We allow people to drink, a recreational activity and thousands of people die( actual harm) every year from DUIs.
Shouldn't we go ban alcohol consumption/bars then. Surely a recreational activity is less important than something fundamental like free speech.
- boomboomsubban 8y ago>Thats some strange logic. You have to weigh pros and cons. Your argument was that "these incidents don't seem like that big of a deal." So in your fictional world where those three incidents are the only harassment that has happened, it's still a big deal as the system may fail the next time. In reality, there is already a mountain of harassment that the system failed to punish. Free speech does not cover harassment.
- dominotw 8y agoYou didn't answer why we allow alcohol consumption.
- boomboomsubban 8y agoMuch like speech, misuse of alcohol is already against the law. And people that have shown themselves to be unable to consume alcohol safely can find themselves stripped of various freedoms. Your argument is all over the place. From "no harm is being done" to "the harm is limited and already being punished" and now "harmful behavior should be tolerated."
