Quote by: Passivist  I wonder whether the banning murder would be expressed as "forced" also. The only reason why the prohibition of killing people is not seen as coercion, is because it is a (more) commonly held view. |
I would argue that anything the government does implicitly involves force, but that's just me. That includes banning murder.

What number is a sufficient number, in your opinion?
And do you think that might makes right?
