Just because you don't like something doesn't make it illryal.
Conversations here ARE sanctioned, that is why you see moderation action with some posts. The owner of this site, and any of his moderators have the right to ban anyone from here. Could be me. Could be you. Anyone.
If it was unsanctioned, then it could be a free-for-all and respect wouldn't be needed, and we could call each other names and swear and everything else. And ask the best place to get some good drugs, rather than good pizza.
We don't live in a 'free' society. We legally have to pay taxes. That's not free. We have to earn our license, keep it in good standing, purchase insurance, and be at least 16 and pass testing, in order to drive. A parent legally cannot keep their children from school, even if there is bullying, because that's a provincial offence. We cannot go get my knee replacement in Ontario at a private practice. I have to go to New York for that.
As for driving, for example, everyone speeds. It's not enforced if someone is going over by 10 or 15 or even 20 over the limit. After that, police start to charge. At 50, this is a criminal offence. And you lose your right to drive. If as doctor or teacher touches someone inappropriately, they lose their license to practice or license to teach.
We live in a country that has a lot of freedoms, and as long as those freedoms don't harm others, we can do pretty much what we want. Our charter guarantee's those rights. However, certain 'freedoms' can violate our charter freedoms. Some of those charter freedoms are the ability to get access to medical care and EMS care in a timely fashion. Those charter freedoms are violated by events like Ezra.
My two scents worth (unsure if the s or c is silent),
Anyway, I'm done with this component of the conversation....
