The problem is most people don't think like that

Does it matter if "most" people don't?

Why should intellectual curiosity lead to a criminal investigation.

There have been plenty of times I've seen a term on the internet or heard one in a movie that I wasn't familiar with, and upon doing a search learned that it was unsavory. All this does is scare people into not thinking beyond what they already know.




Sorry but you're missing the point. What your parent poster is saying is that because most people don't care, there won't be any pressure to make this practice illegal. So I think you both agree that it is not good, but just explaining why they said most people don't care.


"All this does is scare people into not thinking beyond what they already know. "

Doesn't even do that, because if they don't know about it, they won't know not to search for it.
