Because we can't close corporations for a rules violation.
- wnevets 8y agoI mean we could
- leesalminen 8y agoKind of like how we could implement the death penalty for marijuana possession?
- wnevets 8y agoIt's not like there aren't countries where that exist.
- leesalminen 8y agoRight, but should we? Probably not. That’s what I’m getting at.
- wnevets 8y agoIf we really cared about stopping marijuana possession, a death penalty that was objectively and consistently applied would probably work very well.
- rhizome 8y agoArguments by analogy are not worth anybody's time.
- 1stcity3rdcoast 8y agoArguments by analogy are an excellent way to compose an argument. Socrates built entire ethical systems using analogy.
- rhizome 8y agoYou only have to look at what we have above, a changing of the subject from corporate punishment to...execution for marijuana possession. That is bad community'ing. As an aside, I've got some bad news about how Socrates' method worked out for him.
- yeahitslikethat 8y agoIt worked out really well for him. You've heard of him thousands of years later. Thousands of years from now persons will continue to discuss him and you and all of us'll likely be forgotten.
- leesalminen 8y ago>> Because we can't close corporations for a rules violation. > I mean we could The post I was replying to talked about “closing” a corporation for a rule violation. Closing a company is akin to “killing” it, not “punishing” it. I think the analogy stands.
- ionised 8y agoWe can, we just chose not to.
- leesalminen 8y agoWe chose not to because it’s a bad idea. That’s what I’m getting at here. “Killing” a company for a rules violation is also probably a bad idea.
- ionised 8y agoKilling a company for repeated rules violations is perfectly okay with me though.
