(...) That implies that before this ruling it was illegal to own MegaBloks in the Netherlands? Just think of the underground criminal class that is now breathing a sigh of relief and able to play with their MegaBloks in the open... -- Thomas Main (...)

(...) Yeah, but if the percentage of people who posed an immediate risk to people other than themselves was significantly higher, there would be more political capital to do something about it. Once the public perceives a lack of risk to themselves, (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jun-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) The Judeo-Christian heritage of the United States government says that it's wrong to kill anyone, therefore it should be illegal. That does, of course, lead to the obvious question of why they thought it should be a capital crime. I mean, as I (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jun-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) I agree with most of what you have said, however I'm not certain your car analogy is valid. While cars can be a deadly weapon that is not what they are designd for. A well used gun is one that is never used whereas a well used car is used all (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jun-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) It's not in that situation, either. It is noble and compassionate to try and comfort and help provide meaning to one in pain and agony. Further, not helping someone kill themselves can hardly be characterized as "forcing" them to live, Dave! (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jun-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) You're correct, but that's kind of a dumb law. There's a ton of things that you can do to yourself that you can't do to others without consent, among which tattooing and masturbation are perhaps two of the most obvious examples. Why suicide (...)
