Serious / Re: What Should the US Drinking Age Be?« on: September 21, 2014, 06:40:10 PM »
It should depend on the drink. Over here, light beers can be bought and consumed at 16. Liquors and heavy beers at 18.
I personally feel that it should be 17-18, or 18 flat. 15095
Serious / Re: Why do we gaol people who commit victimless crimes?« on: September 21, 2014, 06:34:08 PM »My question is "what victimless crime could possibly warrant a prison sentence?". Prisons are horrible places; essentially de facto insane asylums.I don't know. It all depends on to what extent you can hold a person responsbie for secondary crimes or consequences. I'm merely giving some of the popular arguments in support of victimless crimes. Not saying I necessarily agree with them. 15096
Serious / Re: Why do we gaol people who commit victimless crimes?« on: September 21, 2014, 05:58:34 PM »There's several reasons for the illegality of victimless crimes. Why imprisonment is the chosen punishment for some has to do with the determined severity of the crime.I assume this is just about why victimless acts are illegal in general?To a degree. The main reason of banning victimless crime is to deter what's known as secondary crime. Using drugs seems fine on its own, but it needs to be obtained which in turn creates a market for it and encourages people to grow, smuggle and deal it. Same argument could be made for watching child pornography, buying stolen goods and others. Another popular reason is the idea that to some actions, people simply can't agree. This lack of consent makes it immoral and illegal, such as people consenting to prostitution, being murdered or somehow mutilated. Finally, there's the interest of society and the issues with determining what exactly is victimless, such as attempted crimes. 15097

You seemed to clearly insist on the imprisonment aspect in your OP. I assume this is just about why victimless acts are illegal in general?Because it is the most primary way we deal with most types of crime?I can't tell if you missed the tone of the thread, or if you're just being facetious. 15098

It seems like a good review that matches my opinion almost perfectly, but I'm not gonna watch Angry Joe. One of the worst internet personalities and an extremely obnoxious reviewer. I just really don't get the appeal. It seems like he makes good points and proper reviews, but I just can't stand his constant yelling, costumes, obnoxious behavior and his whole "theme". I get that it's intended because he is "Angry"Joe after all, but I just find the way he presents himself irritating. 15102

Even by using donuts, this could have been better had whoever made this not stuck to short single sentences.too simplistic.What do you want from an analysis of donuts? Not that I don't appreciate what this is trying to do. It's admirable to try and simplify abstract philosophies to this extent. I'm sure it'll help some with little to no knowledge on the subject grasp the very basics of some philosophies, but it's a little too superficial for my liking. 15104
