it is wrong to forbid things that are no immoral, or allow immoral things to be done unpunished.

"Everything not prohibited is mandatory"

Sorry, but I had to say it.

No problem. It was quite a bold proposition anyway.

But I stand by it, since I believe that, if I forbear from certain actions because they are immoral, but other people can do them unpunished, they gain an unfair advantage. What do you think of this?

(I am aware that this does not legitimize a ban on drugs, pornography, or other forms of self-destructive behavior. They're another story.)
