I often say if I'm diagnosed with some serious cancer I'd probably try to sail the northwest passage rather than seeking treatment. I'm sure some people want absolute maximum raw time but plenty of us would prefer adventure right up to the end and I don't think denying us that is appropriate either.

We are talking about scamming people here, not whether 76ers should be let to go on adventures.

We're talking about "having society protect them." They're the same thing. Only you can really judge if engaging in some dangerous activity is a gain for you.

		"Having society protect them" from scamming and out of context non-sense.

		That idea really doesn’t hold up to even the most gentle of scrutiny.

		Imagine if, having been diagnosed with serious cancer, you spent your life savings on a Northwest Passage trip which turned out to be a scam invented by Meta. Are you really saying that you should have no recourse against Meta for scamming you?
