From that site:
"Should a campaign for abolishing child labor talk only about how valuable adult workers are to their employers or how happy kids are when they don't work?"
No, they should provide better more efficient alternative than child labor.
"Should a campaign trying to abolish land mines talk only about the benefits of bomb-free fields and intact lower limbs?"
No, they should provide better alternative to land mines so everybody switches to it.
"Should a free speech organization only speak out about the social welfare brought by a free press and never against acts of censorship?"
No, they should provide better means of communication that cannot be censored like that.
- AlexandrB 15y ago> No, they should provide better alternative to land mines so everybody switches to it. This is ridiculous. You're saying that anti-landmine orgs should spend their time finding more efficient ways to kill people. > No, they should provide better more efficient alternative than child labor. What if no such alternative exists? Just because it's economically efficient, doesn't mean it's right.

In a sense that this new weapon would obsolete land mines, and thus solve all problems of land mines. I don't see nothing ridiculous about that. > What if no such alternative exists? Just because it's economically efficient, doesn't mean it's right. Let us believe that it is not like that, otherwise ultimatly everyone that not uses child labor will die out, all that not uses land mines will lose a war. And no amount of negativity will stop it.
