The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.
Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)

Exactly my argument against socialism. If we now start protecting people from the effects of their thoughtlessness, irresponsibility, and sloth, we are eventually gonna end up with a nation majority of which is stupid, careless, and lazy. Sounds familiar? You know, like the land of the free to sue the bloody daylight out of you for making anything they might manage to hurt themselves with available within their reach?

If I'm punished for selling you something, and certainly when you are punished for buing it from me, you are not an adult. Adults take responsibility for their actions. You are a child, a puppet, a domesticated animal.

And by the way, as it's wrong to be a predator and feed on others, and it's bad to be a victim and be fed upon, who the fuck am I supposed to be?
