You know that treating people different due to genetic differences in prohibited right?

Now if we take this "too" far we can easily reach the conclusion that all substances should be treated the same way.

Actually, that's a solid claim, isn't it?


For this very reason all drugs should be treated the same way.

// Back to topic ; Calling an argument invalid by not exploring the underlying principle on which it is founded is quite rude and surely makes your rebuttal quite off-point.

Now why should we treat drugs, or organic beings, any different other organic substances? As far as I'm concerned the politicians and laws are lobbying for people who cannot act responsible and thus be a danger to society (see why people are in general not allowed to own an army or bombs in the western world) but the problem in these cases are not the weaponry, nor the damage they can cause; it's the people causing these things that are the problem here.

"Better safe than sorry" seems to be the way laws works in western society, and by infringing of peoples rights our "protective government" keeps us from harms way, right?

Well, if you wish to continue the discussion from this point onwards, please pm me and I'll make sure we have a new thread for a way wider discussion on the restrictions society impose upon us while "keeping us safe" and why this can be seen as "wrong".
