You can’t ask for someone to do something illegal, can you?
Have you ever tried?
Aren’t there rules here specifically about that?
Kind of important ones, too, don’t you think?
Yeah, but wouldn’t the Don’t Ask Folks To Do Illegal Stuff rule be about the most important rule?
Would it be wrong to say I prefer the “Don’t Be A Jerk” rule?
Doesn’t asking people to commit crimes pretty much automatically make you a jerk?
Then wouldn’t the Jerk rule be more comprehensive?
I dunno, would it?
What sort of question is that ?
What if someone was asking others to do something illegal, but were doing so for some Lofty Higher Purpose All For The Greater Good?
You mean like NOT asking others to do something illegal would actually make you a jerk?
Yeah, can’t I just be a regular legal jerk?
You can be anything you want to be, within the bounds of the law and, while you’re here, the SDMB rules, can’t you?
As opposed to an irregular legal jerk?
Wouldn’t that imply that you need more fiber in your diet?
Would you accept that I am a standard jerk?
Who wouldn’t accept that?
Shouldn’t more proof be required? Why take the word of some jerk?
Why not? Isn’t a jerk allowed to have a point of view?
