Bro, it is not possible for everybody to have free shelter and whatever. These things have to be paid for somehow and it wont be free for whoever is paying. There are ethical issues with driving any species to extinction. You didn't put them here after all. We can only manage their presence. Cigarettes should be banned, to the extent that smoking ones results in causing harm to another person who is not a smoker. Smokers are free to drive themselves to extinction. Gang related violence will drop if drugs are legalized instead. |

optimumprimus: Entitled? Be serious jor. The food is not free for the farmer or hunter that arranged for it to be put on your table. Why should it be free for you? Same goes for the clothes which you did not make from scratch yourself, and the shelter which you did not build from scratch. By the way, doing any of these things yourself does not even make them free, since you had to invest time and effort into getting them. Time and effort are money. |

@optimumprimus Assembling your furniture or repairing your car is one process out of many that got the item to its current state. Somebody had to go into a forest with a truck, a chainsaw, possibly other massive equipment, to convert those trees into the wood you can use. Are they to do this for free? To give you a car to repair, somebody had to build a car factory, obtain aluminum from another factory, electricity from a built power plant, find people who know programming to programme the machines used in building the car, find labour to work in his factory, etc. Should all these be done for free? The petrol that you use to drive your car, gotten from oil which has to be fetched out from deep underground with sophisticated equipment and refined in rather expensive refineries and dispensed to you from somebody's gas station, are you saying that it should come free? And what are we to do with Mathematics, Law, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine etc, that you did not mention. I hope you don't think these courses are less valuable. Your vision is impractical to the extent that it strives to provide free stuff for everybody. The existing systems that you say you want to improve on are put in place for the less privileged, not those that are comfortable. It is because we have the concept of money that people can afford to give free houses to the less privileged. |
