So his argument isn't a good one if it can be twisted back onto him. So it's a poor argument against Newzealands new law.(December 12, 2021 at 7:43 pm)Helios Wrote: Not sure what you mean
OLB was arguing that if we allow one restriction then we allow an endless stream of restrictions on people's behavior. Then he argued people should be allowed to do immoral or distasteful things. My point was by his own logic allowing people to do immoral things opens up the same problem where do we draw the line? Ultimately the point was too much freedom can be just as bad as too many restrictions on it and too.
I don’t really have an issue with allowing people to do immoral or distasteful things. My issue is with allowing people to do things that are a proven danger to other people.
If someone wants to read a dirty book (immoral) or play the accordion professionally (distasteful), ‘it neither robs my purse nor breaks my leg’.
