Yes, lets get back this thread back on topic before the mods close it…
Haifagirl: I guess it’s time for a discussion of laws, and what they really are.
A law, simply stated, is a way for one group to regulate the behavior of another. This regulation can be carried out at gunpoint, if necessary.
Which behavior do you really feel is so important that it requires that kind of action?
Bodek: Any behavior that can negatively affect the quality of life of other people.
So long as a bad action doesn’t cause (physical/spiritual) damage to others, I feel there is no need for a law to be out there restricting people.
Wolfishmusings: That’s pretty restrictive. Based on that broad logic, you can ban cars because they cause noxious emmissions that negatively affect me.
Wolfishmusings: I didn’t think your idea was wrong, Bodek — it just needs to be refined further. Using your logic, cars can be banned outright. Your idea was good, but needs further elaboration or restriction.
I agree that my explanation for having laws can use some help.
Anyone out there in cyberspace have a better definition?
Or is Wolfishmusings the only other person besides me in this CR?
