- xnx 4y agoCountless situations, like living in a rainy climate, have detrimental physical and mental effects, but we still allow it.
- baggy_trough 4y agoI think adults should be able to evaluate if they can put up with missing the health benefits of a window for improved location or reduced cost. Life is about tradeoffs.
- dazc 4y agoMaybe, but the reason there are rules and regulations relating to many everyday activities is that when people make decisions about their own lives those decisions can result in negative impacts to society as a whole. OK, I think not having fire protection in my building can save me a lot of rent. And yes, I have picked an extreme example to validate my point just have you have done.
- baggy_trough 4y agoI'm literally responding to the example in the thread. And I agree with you on fire safety (of course, that could also be taken too far).
