I think the intent of your answer would fit into the sub-set of answers covered by my answer. However, it is possible to interpret the wording of your answer as such: there are things that I might not personally like, and none of them should be outlawed. Well, there are certain things that are part of the set of all the things that I don't personally like, like mass murder or putting radioactive waste into ice cream, that I think should still be illegal.

I'm thinking of it mathematically, like a Venn diagram, which may be my problem.

Without going any further, the murder angle is immediately persuasive....I'll change my vote.

Perhaps you could do a serious poll on victimless crimes sometime in the future..

11. How can you possibly be against putting radioactive waste into ice cream?

Although I actually think radioactively mutated nannies might be kind of cool.
