Bhutan, after prioritizing happiness, now faces an existential crisis

Also don't confuse the law of diminishing returns with "therefore the remainder is fine," either. There's room for regulation of many of the ills of our society, but you will always reach a point where trying to stamp out that last bit you can't get ends up taking away things that make life worth living.

I can't imagine more of a hell than being forced to live a life wrapped up in bubble wrap so someone else is convinced I'm "safe."

Yeah, so you misrepresented what I said to call me an alcoholic and thus denigrate my point via an ad hominem. Instead of actually engaging with my argument on the merits, you misrepresent it and act like a troll.

Goodbye, you aren't worth my time.

Feeling bad (and crying in public) because I drew what are quite logical conclusions from your earlier two comments (about drinking and what makes life worth living), and calling me a troll because of that, makes you the loser, if not a troll yourself.

And I notice that you "cleverly" and "bravely" avoided replying to my point about the tens of thousands of deaths and crippling happening from drunk driving accidents, while drowning in self-pity.

>Goodbye, you aren't worth my time.

I already said goodbye to you earlier, before you did :). I only replied again now, in order to rebut the points in your last comment above.

You are not worth anyone's time.
