PreacherBeelze 10/10/18 11:53:59 AM #29:	Regulations and laws are effectively the same thing. While I see the meets for what youre saying, I dont think a brothel should be placed next to a high school personally. Its all about lines. Taxes dont bother me, but some of the idiotic red tape bureaucracy does. Ive viewed randian libertarianism to be kind of utopian thinking that leads towards dystopian results, and the idea that violent revolution is an acceptable form of market correction is a terrible idea, but also, kind of what happens without regulations. Dont get me wrong though, just like many if not most leftists, Im not for all regulations. The cigarette thing is silly, I am a smoker, but whatever its not the end of the world for me and I chalk that one up to I dont mind going outside. Regulations though, serve some purposes... say in terms of waste management, Mercury output, lead, arsenic etc... Lots of regulations keep it so water is safe to drink. Loss of some regulations would change that, there is historical precedence for why some pollution regulations in particular are in place and they involve genetic defects cancer, death, and recurring effects that have permanently altered the infringeds gene pool... literally passed onto their kids and their kids kids... Some regulations make sense. Including financial regulations. Some are silly, like the cigarette thing. Anyhow, youd be surprised it seems by the varied positions the left has on regulations... the right likes to talk a big game there, but its not like theyre against them... they tend to cherry pick ones that reduce profits at ththe expense of worker and citizen safety. Those examples being typically, where the left places a great deal of their efforts in protecting. I dont feel stifled by society much at all... and am trying to think about things I cant do in society... and its pretty small... I think (I dont smoke weed) I should be able to buy weed... but see oxycotin as in need of regulating, I dont need or want a prostitute, but think it should be legal, just well regulated... as that type of regulation sheds light onto a scenario as would reduce human trafficking and abuses... as demand would sink... Anyhow, everyone is syncretic, a bit right, a bit left, a bit fringe and somewhere in their viewpoints they are flat out wrong... no one is immune to being wrong, myself included. Ignorance is a blessing when viewed as a point of learning. Its a curse when youre too rigid to see it as ignorance, and choose it, despite contrary proof... Rothbard would be ignorant imho, same with Ayn Rand... the modern right wing liberterian movement in general feels that way to me... lots of talk, sounds good til you think about unintended consequences... --- I'm a painter, https://imgur.com/BNh6Uzk <cite>PreacherBeelze posted [p:910289515] in What Polit...
