Replying to null

My guy, you seem to fail to understand how a functioning society works at its most basic level. There are these things, called laws. They exist because usually those with wisdom and experience from running previous generations of surviving families, towns, cities, and nations understood a basic set of rules leads to a survivable and desirable outcome. People who wish to live in lawless areas of our earth tend not to survive. You can move to the middle of the jungle and nobody is gonna enforce any laws. You’re also not going to benefit from a group of cooperating humans working to keep you alive. So take your pick.

Your position tends to be there should be no laws, specifically around drugs, because you perceive that as one individual telling another what they can and cannot do. In your concocted scenario, it’s me specifically telling the entire world what they can or cannot do. What you’re failing to comprehend is laws are a shared set of customs among a group of people. They ensure this group is one you want to live in. Different groups have different laws.

I already answered your question. The laws I adhere to in this specific case are clearly for the better and I support them. If there were no laws, I would lobby those I live around to agree to establish some for the benefit of my neighbors and their families. In that fictitious scenario, it’s me and the other people I live and work with coming to some sort of agreement on what the laws are. This is known as “politics.”

If you cannot comprehend the concept of laws, I do not know what to tell you.

Ok, so if Ross’ Silk Road customers would move to a different state in which they declare drug exchange and consumption legal, would you want to jail them too?

What if they just move to an isolated town, would you want to jail them then?

What if they stay in their homes but exchange privately through the internet?

That is where I conclude that this experiment is still a work in progress. Technologies can exist and they can be developed. They simply cannot and must not, be used to break laws. Simple.

I don’t understand. Can you answer the questions I asked more directly

We create laws to protect societies and no technology should simply hide people’s doings from the law. Simple.

Still hasn’t answered my questions. That’s some talent

I tried.

No freely willie for all Vincent.

There are rules everywhere and they must be followed.

Why they must be followed? At any situation?
