What a ridiculous take and a slippery slope.
Should car manufacturers be liable for drunk drivers? Should kitchen knife manufacturers be responsible for stabbings?
Your idea is great if you want your country to be left behind entirely in innovation.
- dclowd9901 4y agoWorth reminding that the slippery slope argument is not a valid argument at all. As with standard slippery slope reasoning, you jump to the most extreme interpretation. Yet reality shows us that you cannot, in fact, boil a frog, because at some point it just gets too fucking hot. Should car manufacturers be liable for drunk drivers? Maybe, if they include a space in their vehicle specifically to store and serve alcohol. Should kitchen knife manufacturers be responsible for stabbings? No. But no reasonable person would ever suggest they should. I might remind you also that “reasonable standard” is a legal concept.
- robertlagrant 4y agoWithout defining the reasonable standard, it remains a silly idea in this case.
