The problem seems to be human nature. I have been on the board (most of the time, president) of our 72 unit condo association for about 30 years. With the exception of a few recent families with kids moving in, the population is adults. People are constantly pulling crap with no regard for the the impact on people around them. We have to catch them on the security cameras and confront them for doing stupid things.
The subject of this thread is no surprise to me. It only confirms that the problem is global, rather than just our little population here.
So the question becomes, how much rope (freedom) do we give people to hang themselves and the people they impact with thier actions, and how much should we legislate to prevent them from doing so?
Ideally, we would want to trust that by the time people reach adulthood, they have the maturity to conduct themselves in a responsible manner. However, the reality falls far short of that, as has been demonstrated again and again throughout human history.
