A lot fewer people smoke now in the US than several decades ago.
So let's do it. Let's isolate and restrict the hateful, the angry, the irrational EXACTLY like we did smoking.
- idiotsecant 5y agoThis seems like a decent idea until someone in power decides that you are hateful, angry, or irrational.
- TulliusCicero 5y agoYou could use the same reasoning like > Making bad things illegal seems like a decent idea until they make something you like doing illegal Therefore just have no laws, I guess? Sometimes an imperfect, abusable system is better than no system. In fact, I'd wager that's usually the case.
- AnimalMuppet 5y ago> Therefore just have no laws, I guess? No. But have a system where some single powerful person can't just make up laws on a whim.
- TulliusCicero 5y agoWell, they generally can't: laws are written and passed by a legislature. You could make this sort of argument for executive orders, though.
- raxxorrax 5y agoI think it already has been abused, the law has nothing to do with it. Just don't venture to places where that is not the case and we can agree. We have different requirements for interesting platforms and should keep it separated for the most part.
