Thanks.
Someone else involved in the discussion said something similar. However, I disagree, with respect.
The most sacred law of the land is, itself, relative. We have different "degrees" and "classes" of misdemeanours and felonies, and a judge is allowed to modify a sentence even within a class or degree of a crime in order to suit the circumstances of the crime. (And I say this without saying that selling performance parts is anything close to a crime. It's just an example.)
Thanks again for taking the time you've taken w/this.
No problem! I sense a philosophy major in our midst.....you and I could argue about this point for a long time......degrees of evil......some of us believe in degrees (which for humanity sake and the goodness of forgiveness we must have within society) but degree or not, they are under the heading of wrong. Like guilt by association.......a man can show someone where to buy a gun and how to use it, and who to kill, but not pull the trigger.....has still contributed to the crime.
Anyway.....that's philosophy and arguementation and I'm not saying that selling performance parts is a crime, I'm just saying it isn't the cleanest business out there and that if one wishes to have a clean image, it's not the business to be in. It contributes to a problem on public roads, much like you are saying that supporting a forum like Kill stories does. But you know, I have to give full marks for your attempt to limit the references to illegal activity. Thank you for your intelligent remarks in return, it is nice to have some thought provoking discussion about this.
