[QUOTE=Lankist;17141594]And why is that? [editline]02:28PM[/editline] It's a form of reckless endangerment, a serious criminal offense.[/QUOTE] Posting on forums should be illegal as well, it can cause heart attacks from shock sights as well as sucide from excessive trolling.
People can be abuse dihydrogen monoxide, too. We need to illegalize it immediately.
[QUOTE=Doriol;17141642]People can be abuse dihydrogen monoxide, too. We need to illegalize it immediately.[/QUOTE] Why not? If people can abuse it should certainly be regulated.
[QUOTE=Oecleus;17141630]Posting on forums should be illegal as well, it can cause heart attacks from shock sights as well as sucide from excessive trolling.[/QUOTE] You're not directly hurting someone though. Most people can deal with shock [B]sites[/B] and trolling, while everyone would be hurt if they were hit by a drunk driver. My point is: You're just making shit up now without even thinking.

I'm joking of course. Maybe

[QUOTE=Oecleus;17141826]I love how you think you are so clever, yet you missed my point entirely.[/QUOTE] I love how you think you're so clever, without having a point at all. Answer me a question, Why should the government, and the laws it makes, protect us from ourselves? Shouldn't we be responsible for ourselves? Shouldn't we be responsible for our own safety? Shouldn't it be our job, not everyone else's as a requirement of them, to keep ourselves safe? If you think the government should coddle you, protect you like a little baby, then I really have no rebuke besides you're pathetic. Everyone should strive to be self reliant, if you say that you don't want to be, I would very much like you to just simply shut up, and go back to Brave New World, and the padded cell that the government should give everyone to keep safe.
Our society simply doesn't work When everyone / too much poeple fuck theirself up all the time
[QUOTE=Doriol;17141642]People can be abuse dihydrogen monoxide, too. We need to illegalize it immediately.[/QUOTE] Oldest trick in the book.

Drunk drivers are ashamed when they hear that the person they just killed would have been saved had the victums wore a seatbelt. People addicted to drugs feel worthless when they get addicted to drugs and cannot stop themselves. They feel abandoned and unwanted. They wish someone would have stopped them before they even got into drugs. Some people don't even get this far when they end up overdosing their first or second time.
[QUOTE=cheezey;17143204]Our society simply doesn't work When everyone / too much poeple fuck theirself up all the time[/QUOTE] Drug use is a small percentile of the population, that small percent still keeps up effeciency. Some regular office workers, you'd never know it, but they're high as fuck on speed, and they're working extremely well. Drugs are personal, and the government is telling me what I can and can't do with my property. This is not their right, I should, and by all means, else wise, am, free to do what I want with my body albiet providing I don't harm anyone else in the process. Does my drug use harm anyone? No, if it did, my actions are already illegal. I'm in jail anyways, no one should be able to get off by saying it was the drugs.
[quote]People who are depressed and thinking of sucide 10 years later wish they never had those thoughts, and are glad when a government run or privately run program steps in and helps them out.[/quote] How? By throwing them in a mental asylum? Idiot.
Yes the government should intervene and regulate a large portion of things that can be used to hurt themselves or others. People don't always think straight, and this doesn't make them "pathetic" or stupid for wishing the government would have helped them. [editline]04:13PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Doriol;17143380]How? By throwing them in a mental asylum? Idiot.[/QUOTE] You're the idiot by automatically assuming that, nice job making an ass of yourself.
It's not the job of the government to "step in" and run my life. How you think this is a good idea, I will never be able to comprehend.
[QUOTE=Doriol;17143412]It's not the job of the government to "step in" and run my life.[/QUOTE] It should be there job to protect you from yourself when you are not thinking clearly.
Hey guys! I got an idea, let's protect people from there own minds! Because you know, we totally have the right to infringe on other people's rights when we decide they're insane.
[QUOTE=Oecleus;17143423]It should be there job to protect you from yourself when you are not thinking clearly.[/QUOTE] You're fucking dumb.
[QUOTE=Oecleus;17143423]It should be there job to protect you from yourself when you are not thinking clearly.[/QUOTE] Not thinking clearly? You mean not thinking like the majority? [editline]04:16PM[/editline] Right to life my ass, life is mandatory in your eyes.
[QUOTE=Doriol;17143432]You're fucking dumb.[/QUOTE] You're keeping up with your posting habbits. I've noticed of all the arguments that have been went through, the only thing you do is sit on the sidelines bitching about how the person isn't listening or how "dum" they are. You are the retard for only producing ad hominems instead of arguing your case. [editline]04:17PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Billiam;17143433]Not thinking clearly? You mean not thinking like the majority?

Take pyschology, no one who wants to kill themselves is thinking correctly.

That's how they feel? Are you telling other people how they feel now? No, people addicted do not feel that way, they can feel any number of ways. Don't generalize, it makes your argument even weaker than it already is. DRUNK DRIVING IS ILLEGAL ALREADY. People who are depressed and kill themselves are making a personal choice. It is no one else's business. Sure, they may be glad the government did that, but the government stepped in, and violated their personal freedoms. If I wanted to kill myself, and the government stepped in, I would be fucking pissed. They do not have that right. Why do you want to be treated like a 5 year old so much? Taking care of yourself, and your own life is a great experience, yet you still want the government to step in every 5 minutes and keep you from yourself. I don't get people like you, you don't want people to live, you want people to think their living. Why is the ultimate goal a long life? What good is a long life when you haven't experience anything at all?

Sanity is about as relative as morality, the primary principles of America are doing anything you want(Provided you don't step on other people's rights). If someone wants to die, you propose the government steal his liberty away and stop him, even though it would hurt no one?

Take pyschology, no one who wants to kill themselves is thinking correctly.[/QUOTE] You go take a psychology course. Someone who wants to kill themselves can do so for hundreds of reasons, not all of those render him insane, not even many of them do. Whether or not they're thinking correctly isn't the argument, it's their right, their body, not the governments. Is it ok if the government decides that the TV in your house is now theirs when you just paid for it? Is it ok for the government to tell you that your job is theirs now? Your wife? The line should be drawn before it even gets to the point where they can tell you anything about your own body.

This does not mean that everyone else doesn't. I'm not telling them how they should feel, I'm saying wanting to live a life is the normal, correct way of thinking. If you don't know that, you need to update your current knowledge. Of course you can sit back and say "If i wanted to kill myself I would want the option to do it", but if you ever really had those thoughts, you wouldn't want those thoughts. You would want to a happy life.
