>Thats what parents and mentors are for.

It's nice that you have a parent that cares about how you are raised, or "a mentor". Do you realize that not everyone has that?

>We as a society should not have to break our backs bending over backwards to stop people from doing stupid things.

Sure, let's take down all the speed limits and see what happens. Let's tell people it's an option to wear seatbelts and see what happens. Let's deregulate everything and hope for the best. Sounds reasonable?

>People can make their own descisions and be responsible for them. If they lack proper guidance, well that just sucks.

There's this thing called "human nature". I think you should do some reading about it.

Sure. But we have to keep the bar somewhere reasonable, otherwise you won’t be free to make mistakes.
