Reality is not up for debate. What is in your best interest is, period. If everyone believes it, if no one believes it, if negative people believe it. There is no "decision" about it any more than there is a "decision" about the mass of a carbon atom.

I didn't say anything about how people were or should be permitted to act (yet). I said an act doesn't become responsible just because you believe it's in your best interests.

Not much of a fan of representative government or the service industry or the military, are you? I'm sure the list goes on.

This is is indeed a hilarious and well balanced response to me replying to somebody suggesting that people who like representative government should go to prison.

You really missed the subtext there. Not at all surprising.

Except that's not at all what he said.

You already know this, but things like that don't stop you from posting your usual predictable bullshit.

Except it is. You're just not up to getting there.

Well, I can't argue that. My apologies for taking your statement as something related to the current conversation, and not just a pointless factoid.

So what are the qualifications that must be met for an act to be considered "responsible"?
