Should banning things be banned?

Yes, finally. Goddamn it.

So you really think that NOTHING should be banned?  You've got to be kidding me...

Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

I object to this paranoid, and utterly pathetic mentality of banishment we have going on in this country, and the seemingly endless rationalizations we dream up. Ban smoking, ban sharp edges on playgrounds, prohibit non-helmet riding, ban drugs, etc, etc. We'd prohibit breathing if we thought turning blue would get us high.

How did I put words into your mouth?  You answered yes to the questions, and added a GD for emphasis.

You asked me a question I'd yet to answer, and then you wrote "you've got to be kidding me", as if I'd agreed.

You asked me if I think NOTHING should be banned, and at that point I didn't answer yet. I answered "Yes, finally" to the thread question in a humorous way. [/semantic argument]
