> It's much like how in the UK they banned advertising for tobacco, and years later had to expand it so that supermarkets cannot even show the products visibly because the brand has their own inherent advertising that's visible if you can see it.

So they got rid of 90% of adverts, then adjusted it to get that upto 99%

Meanwhile you're saying "lets use brainwashing to get 8 year olds hooked because we might not get 100% on the first attempt"

I said absolutely nothing of the sort and that hostile style of arguing has no place on this site. I will no longer be engaging with you.


It's always funny to me when people feel the need to tell us they won't be inflicting their poorly-thought-out fallacies on us any more. Don't threaten me with a good time!

You are implying there's no point in doing anything as people will find loopholes (which governments can then close)

This site is no place for thought terminating cliches
