We already ban selling of bestiality porn

2019-08-02 22:30:07 UTC  

That is also a transaction

2019-08-02 22:30:18 UTC  

i can agree with you that they are abhorrent

2019-08-02 22:30:42 UTC  

but i that the goverment shouldn't play a role in this

2019-08-02 22:30:55 UTC  

They absolutely should

2019-08-02 22:30:57 UTC  

I think we should regulate weed like alcohol

2019-08-02 22:31:09 UTC  

Government is not a sterile entity meant to do nothing

2019-08-02 22:31:16 UTC  

They are a force to advance society

2019-08-02 22:31:24 UTC  

That is why we have democracy

2019-08-02 22:32:04 UTC  

let me rephrase my statement the government shouldn't get involved in some cases and in the other cases they shouldn't ban it but regulate it

2019-08-02 22:32:22 UTC  

i agree with @SkeF

2019-08-02 22:32:28 UTC  

with the weed stuff

2019-08-02 22:32:32 UTC  

They should either ban it or regulate it, depending on which is more beneficial

2019-08-02 22:32:50 UTC  

And do gauge that, you conduct studies

2019-08-02 22:32:54 UTC  

most of the time banning it causes a lot of problems

2019-08-02 22:32:59 UTC  

Not really

2019-08-02 22:33:07 UTC  

for example drugs giving money to cartels

2019-08-02 22:33:08 UTC  

You have to look at the empirical evidence

2019-08-02 22:33:42 UTC  

And in many of those cases that is failure on the part of the government

2019-08-02 22:33:48 UTC  

i agree

2019-08-02 22:33:55 UTC  

but thats how the goverment works

2019-08-02 22:34:03 UTC  

they are really bad at their job

2019-08-02 22:34:24 UTC  

No, in many other cases, govt. intervention is better than not banning or not regulating

2019-08-02 22:34:36 UTC  

some cases yes

2019-08-02 22:34:42 UTC  

a lot of cases no

2019-08-02 22:34:44 UTC  

As I said, it depends on how the govt. actions are undertaken

2019-08-02 22:34:56 UTC  

It doesn't mean you have to abandon the govt. altogether

2019-08-02 22:35:05 UTC  

i agree u do need government

2019-08-02 22:35:33 UTC  

but a limited government is much better

2019-08-02 22:36:03 UTC  

Difference is, you are taking it as an axiom

2019-08-02 22:36:20 UTC  

I'm depending on empirical evidence

2019-08-02 22:36:38 UTC  

Small government can be better in some instances, worse off in other

2019-08-02 22:36:57 UTC  

yes it does depend on factors

2019-08-02 22:37:23 UTC  

i honestly think certain aspects of the government should be expanded

2019-08-02 22:37:36 UTC  

and others should be remove or limited

2019-08-02 22:37:49 UTC  

Border wall is an example of a big government program that is necessary

2019-08-02 22:38:09 UTC  

And other forms of immigration restrictions

2019-08-02 22:38:18 UTC  

agreed

2019-08-02 22:38:54 UTC  

SAIKAT CHAMRABARTI IS GONE

2019-08-02 22:39:12 UTC  

though i do think the government should privatize the building of the wall and other border security elements
