It's not advice, it's how the law works. The law forbids or regulates things, the law doesn't give permission. Luckily for you (and any of us), the law forbids a whole lot of things. But still, the starting point is: one can do things unless they are forbidden, not the other way around.
- zero-sharp 3y agoThe post that I responded to reads: "You are allowed to do anything, until the law forbids it or stuff is regulated in a certain way. Looking at it from this point of view, the world immediately opens up for you." You're speaking on the subject of allowable behavior and you describe your thoughts as a "point of view." That's not strictly matter of fact and it can be interpreted as a prescription. "Allowable behavior" is not the same thing as "behavior which isn't explicitly forbidden by law."
