[quote=The Nexerus] I'm not sure that most people with that viewpoint fully understand its implications. There are numerous things which society deems unacceptable and that are thus legislated, but do not directly harm others. Should all of those things be made legal? [/quote] My use of "harm" is fairly broad - I mainly mean infringing on the rights of others in some way. Whether it's direct or indirect in its effect is irrelevant. Of course, the practical implementation of the belief is therefore limited, as very few things can be said to in no way adversely affect others, and thus we end up in debate of how much one is reasonably allowed to affect others. The principle isn't necessarily useful once you try to apply it practically, but I still support the theory behind it. Can I ask for some examples of what you were referring to, just to get a clearer picture of what you're getting at? I'm not sure if you're including things like the seat-belt argument from earlier in the thread, which only really affects the driver directly but certainly affects others indirectly, or...?
