Like I said, I'm not going to play that game with you. My questions don't require you to understand how I define personal responsibility. They just require a straight answer.
And you're right, you don't have any responsibility to me to explain yourself. It just seems odd to me that someone so confident in his ideological superiority would be so intent on making up a completely bullshit reason to avoid enlightening a blind, cowardly statist such as myself. |

Pretty big leap you make. The amount of regulation is subject to what most people find reasonable. There are trade-offs. With every increase in regulation something is lost, usually some freedom. Individual tolerances differ in general and differ based on the subject in question. If I got into things you value and started "regulating" reducing freedoms you hold near and dear to your heart, you can bet your tone on regulation would be completely opposit of what you project here.

You'd think parents would be a bit creeped out by a red-haired clown in big red shoes who seems only able to communicate with children. I know I am. Ronald McDonald wasn't created for the parents. McDonald's has distinct marketing strategies for each segment of their customer base. The convenience/anywhere commercials are for adults; the "this place is really fun!" commercials are for kids.

McDonald's is successful (I have worked there, invested in its stock, and studied the growth of the company) because they deliver on what they promise. Marketing is nothing without execution - they excel at both. Quote:
