Yeah obviously there needs to be a balance. But I think it's popular right now to be unbalanced towards allowing any and all victimless crimes not thinking about the effects they do have on society overall and in the long term vs any particular specific person immediately
- ndriscoll 2y agoSomething can be legal while not being socially acceptable, and we can still strictly police related harms. Like with drugs, we can legalize them while still making e.g. smelling up an area with marijuana carry a public nuisance fine, or make littering with needles a misdemeanor (or more severe if someone gets injured). If someone's only crime is being disturbing, the government doesn't need to get involved, but we can still not want to be around them and especially keep kids away from them.
