--- Quote from: ebastler on March 14, 2023, 09:59:16 pm ---James, this is not about remembering the exact wording. "Questioning X" and "questioning whether a law that bans X should exist" are essentially opposites -- which apparently you still don't get? Edit, to elaborate: "I question whether a law banning X should exist." ~ "I don't think a law banning X should exist." ~ "I think X should be legal." ~ "I am advocating for X." See? --- End quote --- No. What? "I question whether a law banning X should exist" does not mean advocating for X, at all. Criminal laws are the ultima ratio of the government. Any law is a restriction on personal freedoms, and laws should not be made solely to appease morals. (This is not my personal opinion, this is literally a basic principle of any modern democracy/Rechtsstaat) You can absolutely be against a law existing but not consider the underlying thing acceptable. Here's just one example: I question whether banning drug ownership makes sense. It drives the black market and makes safe drug use harder. I do not advocate for drug use, and drug use will exist regardless of whether it's banned or not. |

Doesn't seem interested, and said it's "Too dangerous in the wild". So Locals only it will stay it seems. No surprise, he also has a personal financial stake in Locals I believe, so makes sense. But he's always preeching "take the free money", but won't do it himself. |

People just can't seem to help themselves going off the rails. |
