So laws are arbitrary and if something is arbitrary it doesn't matter, so if anyone does anything that is arbitrary (in your mind) it doesn't matter? Let's back up for a second. What percentage would you say this experiment has in being correct?

Of course it matters.

  I updated my post with a few questions to clarify your stance. The point of the question is to ask whether you think this has 100% chance of not causing issues. The next step of course would then be to say, okay if it isn't 100% safe then do you support Mexico's right to say, "hey this could cause us or the world harm, stop it".

    I think what he means is that Mexico would be just as effected if they did in the ocean, or in India or wherever.

      I'm aware. But if it did cause issues it would concentrate in Mexico and dissipate globally. But what I'm asking them is.. do they believe it's in Mexico's right to ask a person to stop experimenting on the atmosphere (global or otherwise) from their country.

    It may cause issues, it may not. It's so hard to know, we may not even know even if they do carry out these types of experiments.

      Okay, so we're at the next step. Do you support Mexico's decision to stop experiments on the atmosphere that may cause issues?

        In the end I don't think it really matters.
        MrOwnPut 4y ago
        That's a cop out to the question and discussion.
        marginalia_nu 4y ago
        It's perfectly in line with my position the whole discussion. Laws are arbitrary. Mexico is a soverign country and have the right to have whatever laws they want.
        MrOwnPut 4y ago
        So you support Mexico's stance then? I was asking for an opinion.
        marginalia_nu 4y ago
        Stop putting words in my mouth.
        MrOwnPut 4y ago
        It was a question, I re-clarified. In other words, do you think it was right for Mexico to stop this, or do you disagree with their actions?
