Can you accept that gambling often does something to other people by placing the resultant burden on OPM?
If that is the standard, then again we are back to just about everything doing that. We should outlaw being overweight as that very often effects other people by placing the resultant burden on OPM. While we are at it we could outlaw fatty foods, sugar and all the things that cause people to be fat.
After that we can outlaw low paying jobs which make people rely on OPM to survive.
You down with those two?
That doesn't indicate that you're interested in learning anything out of what I've said.
So, me asking for more information and clarification does not indicate that i am interested in learning anything out of what you've said? Really? I would say it indicates that I am, which is why I asked.
Iran for an extreme on alcohol use.
Canada for a moderated and sensible approach.
I have lived in Iran so I know there approach, what is Canada's approach and how does it differ from that of the US?
My emphasis is on looking at abuse and then examining whether or not society can do better.
Society can always do better, the only question is how much freedom and liberty are you willing to give away for that "better society"?
Outlawing something or anything requires discretion.
Why?
Give examples of what? See what I mean with your criticism of chopping up questions and answers now?
Be specific on what you're asking for as 'some' examples.
Of some Govts succeeding at discouraging the use of alcohol, through offering socially responsible advice.
