I decided to kill time as I today as I now got some free time on my hands, while I do have to get working on brawl hacks, I feel that first I will pay a visit to the debate halls, as I do not think I come here as often as I should, I recently subscribed to BPC's Think Channel out of respect (I thought it would be nice of me to subscribe to another smash debaters channel, if any or you have a smash/debate channel I probably will subscribe to you as well just PM the link.)
...but I digress.
After seeing some of his video's which where filled with some points I agree with some I do not, I decided to make a thread in the debate hall about some of the points on some of his videos I disagreed with/wanted to start a debate about. There where two that I wished to start a topic on...
Before we begin, to be perfectly fair to Mr.BPC here is his channel disclaimer video.
Now on to the videos.
Prohibition and the Social Contract
Okay, I agree when it comes to Pot, however there are some drugs which should (IMO) not be legalized for example meth...
I was talking to my schools police officer when he told me about how when a home has produced Meth that area is considered a toxic waste zone. Some times even a home that just has a fair amount of meth...
Now let us say that my sister started to use meth, to the point the home I lived in was considered a toxic waste zone, that violates my rights to live in my home, on top of that I must avoid my own home for my safety.
So if a drug violates the rights of the people around you, I argue that it should not be allowed under the social contract. I mean the drug itself (Like how meth can be toxic waste.) Not necessarily what stupidity the drug influences you do when you take it.
Next Video...
Why we cannot let parents decide what their children learn
Actually, I agree with most (99%) of this video, but I would like to see a debate on this subject, but really can not think of anything to disagree with. I do have a question though, who should decide what children are taught?
Anyway I am really curious to see where a debate with these topics will head. I hope BPC does not mind the fact I am using his videos as a spring board to try to start up solid debate(s).

Meth lab waste is extremely hazardous and toxic. Waste cleanup is a major issue for authorities and property owners. Common wastes include brake cleaner, ammonia, soda bottles, kitty litter, lithium batteries, engine starter, matches, and pseudoephedrine blister packs.[18]
