If you have a nearly full cup, and someone dumps a bunch more water at it, who do you blame for the mess?

- scarejunba 7y agoThe logical fallacy comes from the implicit nature of it being your cup rather than a shared cup. This is more like "if the park is crowded and a big family decided to celebrate their birthday there crowding it even more, who do you blame for the crowd?" Or "If you've got four bicycle stands and four of you bike to work but then a new guy joins and he bikes to work too". Of course you can still apportion blame/responsibility based on idle time, personal v commercial use, but who came first is less convincing when equal rights apply.
- eru 7y agoPerhaps. Though I don't see how they are adding congestion? If people would take their own cars instead, that would congest the streets just as much, plus use up parking space.
