Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.

Arrogance and rudeness are training wheels on the bicycle of life -- for weak people who cannot keep their balance without them.

To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.

Vester: It is possible to edit your own posts by clicking on the "edit" button. That way you can add more quotes without making a new post every time (saves 2/3 of the space in the thread).
However, I know that you might be trying to make as many posts as possible to up your rank (currently recruit).

I didn't mean to annoy or criticise - that's Norlander and Vuzman's job
However, did you think about the fact that you have posted 9 posts in a row without using smileys?

This is from a BBC article about a woman who overdosed on liquorice:
"Like everything else, liquorice is good for you in moderation," said Sinead O'Hara, principal pharmacist at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. "But too much of it is quite toxic."
That made me think... Their "expert" on consumption levels of glycyrrhizic acid works at the "Royal London HOMEOPATHIC Hospital".
She probably meant that you should not eat any liquorice at all, but dilute it in water, then take one drop and dilute it again...etc.etc. ...until all traces of anything other than water have disappeared.

I don't understand why that quackery is still legal. I think treatments that defy all science, logic and common sense should be outlawed.
Of course, that would pretty much make prayer illegal...

Yes, what we need is more laws on people's behaviour and less liberty.

What we really need is more sarcasm.
...
Yes, I think defrauding people should be illegal. I think treating people's illnesses with mumbo-jumbo should be illegal. I think putting people's lives in peril by promoting junk science should be illegal.
I'm libertarian too, but I strongly believe that personal liberty is what's important, and that the liberty to do things that affect others should be regulated, and in some cases criminalized. Fraud, and especially health-fraud, is a prime example of this.
Of course, fraud and health-fraud is illegal, but quackery such as homeopathy, reflexology, et al, continues to be tolerated, probably in part because it's hard to prove a negative, and in part because of their quasi-religious nature.
Do you really think I'm wrong on this?

Fraud should be outlawed, yes. But if the practicioner really believes in the treatment, I wouldn't consider it fraud.

You're right we can't criminalize stupidity. We can try to explain to the stupid people why what they're doing is wrong; but seeing as that is an exercise in futility, we need to criminalize stupidity that can be fatally harmful to other people (stupid or not).
Don't get me wrong; I'm 100% for the liberty to stupidly harm yourself.

I think that this discussion belongs in some other thread, and I have made a topic called 'Outlawing stupidity Vs. freedom of choice'

One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license.
