Because it's immoral? Gasp!
Understand the concept? Lots of activities are safe, but illegal -- drugs, pornography, gambling, prostitution, etc.
Granted, the possible effects of these activities may not be conducive to a safe, healthy and functioning society, in fact they may be downright deadly, but you don't want to discuss those effects, do you?
Oh well. My dad once said that if you have to explain morality to someone you've already lost the argument. So I'll just leave it at that.
"If it is that safe, why is it illegal?"
"Because it's immoral? Gasp"!
Only in the minds of the brainwashed is it immoral.
Here is what Hitler said about lies:
"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one."
"All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those towards whom it is directed will understand it. Therefore, the intellectual level of the propaganda must be lower the larger the number of people who are to be influenced by it."
To make it easy for you: The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one,
And: even the most stupid of those towards whom it is directed will understand it.
primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie
even the most stupid will understand it.
Looks like you meet the criteria for understanding the lie.
