Except we only apply that thinking to things we don't like, and that varies from individual to individual. If alcohol results in more deaths than hate speech, do we ban bars? Or do you think you should be allowed to make grown-up decisions because you're not the one killing people?
edit: And to be clear, I fully support a private company's refusal to do further business with 8chan as much as their contract allows. But I tire of these arguments about how somebody died, so we have to do something, and ignoring all further reasoning.
- LargeWu 7y agoThat's a completely irrelevant comparison. People who die from alcohol-related deaths have a choice whether or not to consume alcohol. The 29 people who died this past weekend in El Paso and Dayton were not given a choice whether they wanted to get shot by terrorists.
- TallGuyShort 7y ago>> People who die from alcohol-related deaths have a choice whether or not to consume alcohol. That's not always true - many people die as the innocent victims in DUI collisions. If there were more people dying innocently from alcohol, would you support shutting down bars that had been used by people who drove drunk, because other individuals lost their freedom?
- LargeWu 7y agoTo TallGuyShort, since I can't reply to you: Bartenders can be held criminally responsible if they continue to serve somebody who is obviously intoxicated, and who then goes out and kills somebody in a drunk driving crash. If bars continue to have problems over serving they can lose their liquor license. That's the analogue here. 8chan is the bar that's over-serving.
