But we are past this point. So what is the solution now?

- wavefunction 12y agoIsn't that the point of digging?
- snitko 12y agoGood question. The solution is not go full retard, it seems, but to stop doing wrong things. Whatever you do, you don't ever introduce new regulation. Don't introduce more opportunities for government bureaucrats to feed from. Because if you do, it's gonna lead to worse and more expensive things for the consumer.
- harpastum 12y agoI understand your point, and I don't want to derail this thread into a discussion on language. However, saying that introducing more governmental regulation is going "full retard" (even if the idea behind it is actually true) is reductive and detracts from your point. This is not an issue of political correctness. Saying "not go full shit-head" falls into the same category. Please treat your opposition with respect, even if you disagree with them.
- snitko 12y agoOh, ok, sorry. I never realized "retard" is super offensive in that way. It didn't sound like a very strong word to me, so I apologize.
- vram22 12y agoFunny :-) Guessing, but I think snitko may have actually meant "full retard" in the sense of "retard" meaning to slow down or apply the brakes, rather than meaning "dumb" or "mentally retarded".
