What if you showed up carrying a corpse with “I was murdered by the person carrying me” carved into their chest?
What if you showed up with a bomb vest? Or showed up in a stolen military helicopter?
I’m not sure what the value is of these very obvious cases where common sense dictates that there is a plain and obvious limitation to this policy. The point is obviously to limit harm that people do to themselves and one another, not to function as some sort of philosophical thought experiment made concrete.
What is the purpose of this “what about”?
- sidewndr46 4y agoIt's obviously meaningless, at least in the US. A private contract between two individuals in the US cannot abrogate the ability of a court to compel someone to testify in a criminal trial. When someone is put on the stand under oath, they're going to testify. If the wording was something like "won't call the cops if you're way too fucking high" I'd find it more believable.

I do not understand your point here. What exactly are you having difficulty believing? Do you think they intend to advertise that they provide blanket cover for every crime on earth? I am having difficulty believing that anyone would actually believe that that is what’s intended by that statement. It is much more believable that a person would intentionally misinterpret that statement to make some sort of vague joke about language.
