It’s isn’t. They might be lying to you but in the very least you have seen their face. Difference with online is that there’s an opportunity to screen convicted fraudsters, murders, violent offenders, stalkers and rapists. It won’t catch potential criminals for sure. But it’s something.

They run criminal record checks for people applying to work with children. This isn’t really any different. Meet some completely stranger, often for drinks, on an app is extremely risky. Most of the time it’s fine but you are extremely vulnerable of the person you are meeting has bad intentions. If they can filter out people known to have previously had bad intentions that isn’t a bad thing.

Which is why the Brits won’t do the same because they basically got away with imperialism and just slowly deflated economically due to the world wars. Nobody ever really held the British Empire to account for wrong doings. They won and lost battles and wars overseas.

The black market for illegal booze and cigarettes is in the billions. It’s not that people are buying it from illegal dealers. It’s that they make their way on to legit shelves or venues and people buy them without knowing. That could be stolen, smuggled in without paying duty, or counterfeit.
Basically levies or artificially raised prices placed on anything makes the lucrative to criminals. Same goes for designer clothes, handbags, razor blades, phones, trainers, anything really. In order to reduce the criminal element really you need to make it not very profitable. Criminals don’t tend to sell carrots because they’re basically worthless. Taxing it isn’t going to remove crime. It will require continued police enforcement.

BBC edited out boos and replaced them with applause on Question Time. It’s state propaganda.

Reply to Conscious Reality Is Only a Memory of Unconscious Actions, Scientists Propose In Radical New Theory by mossadnik
How does anyone conquer addiction if they aren’t involved in decision making? I can understand how it would perpetuate addiction and make it incredibly difficult to break the habit, but how do some people conquer it? Where does that intervention come from if it’s not the person’s will?
