I'm always cognizant of that. How do we know DuckDuckGo is not simply lying?
No, because I don't think it's a valid/relevant question
Fair enough. Adios, Dan.
I note that you haven't addressed a single one of the points I raised
No need. Burden of proof is on you.
Problem is, by living in the same physical space as us
How do you define that? You're not here in my house; we don't live together. How is it that I occupy the same physical space as you (assuming you are in the U.S.) but I do not somehow occupy the same physical space as somebody in Mexico? Is it because there's a river between me and Mexico?
If you don't get vaccinated, you potentially hurt us
This is very unrigorous thinking. There is a difference between hurting you versus declining to provide you a benefit.
I wish there was an island-continent for everyone that believed as he does. Honestly, I'd love to watch that experiment play out as long as I didn't have to participate
There's no reason not to let it play out here. You don't have to participate. I don't want to take away your federal government, your state government, your city and county government. I just want every individual to be free to create their own alternative. You can choose to associate only with people who follow your government's rules, if you wish, and ignore all the rat bastards like me who don't like it and want some other authority. If we try to hurt you, I support you and your government shooting or restraining us or whatever you think is necessary.
There is no reason to want to consume trans-fat.
Then there is need need to ban it.
So you are down with all this and more because, "...but not at the expense of others.."
I am for him not having to pay for the consequences of people who do those things, if he doesn't want to. I believe they should be allowed to do it, and agree they shouldn't get to do what they want at the expense of others.
And without FDA approval you cannot sell the resulting food in a store.
I don't consent to people telling my stores what they can and cannot sell me.
Then you should also sign a card saying you are not entitled to medical care to treat potential illnesses caused that have direct links to the digestion of trans fats, unless you pay for it yourself.
Sure thing. I'm not entitled to that.
I'm all for "it's my body" and all that, I honestly am, but not at the expense of others.
Agreed.
But people never, ever follow those rules
You're right. There oughtta be a law.
But I don't have the right to tell some guy what behaviors he can't allow in his place.
if the smoke comes into my place, then i do have the right
Well, yes, but that's not what we're talking about.
why? cuz smoking is gross and nasty and smelly. I want to actually enjoy the food that I'm paying for, not to have everything taste like an ashtray. The same goes for both tobacco and MJ.
I agree with you that it's nasty and smelly and I avoid it like the plague. But I don't have the right to tell some guy what behaviors he can't allow in his place. If people want to get together and eat and smoke, then the right thing for me to do is to simply not go there.
To thine own self be true. (If not that, at least make some money.)
