Save the people from themselves. They are too ignorant to have control of their bodies.
You could just as easily day “oh, ban asbestos? I guess we gotta save everybody from themselves, what a nanny state.”
This is bad logic that can be applied to any safety law. As a society we observe and mitigate known harms, because we can’t expect every citizen to be up to date on every possible way to harm themselves without realizing it or understanding the true scope of the damage being done.
So yes; sometimes as a society we decide to save ourselves from ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with that.
I wasn’t aware people used asbestos recreationally.
And are you really arguing people are still unaware of the dangers of smoking?
I never said people use asbestos recreationally. But the logic is still the same. Why shouldn’t a person be allowed to buy a new house built with asbestos if they’re supposedly fully aware of the danger and risk of damage it does to their body over a long period of time? Everybody knows the dangers of asbestos, don’t they? The commercials tell us about asbestos exposure leading to mesothelioma every day. Just let them make their own choices about asbestos, right? And while we’re at it, lead pipes, and lead paint, and grounded electrical outlets, and the list goes on.
We don’t want to have a nanny state, right? You should have to individually make all of these potentially life or death choices, all the time.
No he really isn’t arguing that. It feels just pure bad faith from you here. You understand that pure anarchism has its problems, I am sure of it
