All laws and rules of a society are compulsions if you want to read it that way. Stopping at a red light, removing ones shoes at the airport, not going the other way on a one-way street, headlights turned on in the dark, stopping for pedestrians .... these are all compulsions and public safety measures. I see the covid vaccines (now that they have been so extraordinarily tested) as benignly ... I don't see why words such as 'compulsion' and 'crime' even enter the picture.
- brigandish 5y agoI find that when people need to expand the definitions of common words to render them virtually meaningless and, more importantly, strangely convenient to their point of view and the argument they are presenting, that is the point I realise that they’re not interested in a proper discussion and leave, entirely unpersuaded.
