[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8395693, member: 23751"] Doesn't really matter what the reasoning was. It's not like the government gets it right all the time. They screw up a lot and the studies have shown over and over that laws do not prevent crimes. They simply punish them. And tickets are one of the big ways that cities get money. THAT's the reason for speed limits. Money. You keep saying that the DM should not have ultimate power. Well, the only way to get what you want is to change the rules, so those rules are what you want to implement. That's so convoluted that I don't even know what you are trying to say there, but it's probably not my opinion. It's RAW, not a premise. Yes I can, but asking the player to make accounts so that they can tell you something you aren't going to believe anyway is too much hassle. I'm not going to do that. It just means that they are a small minority. They happen, but not often enough to be a real issue. Your example was wildly different. So truth is bad, because it's the basis of social change? Got it. :rolleyes: Just wow. You challenge me for saying you want to change the rules in one breath, and then argue(again) to change them in the next. [/QUOTE]
