What is the correct amount of time for a tradition to exist before it deserves to be protected?
- erikpukinskis 7y agoIt's not a question of whether new traditions deserve to be protected. Of course many do. It's a question of whether argument-from-tradition is a valid argument for continuing a practice. For relatively new "traditions", it's not. You need other reasons.
- magduf 7y agoThere's no tradition that should ever be protected just because it's a tradition. If people want to do something that's a tradition and is totally harmless, that's fine, but then it shouldn't need any protection. You only need "protection" because there's some reason the tradition can't continue without it.
