[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 73562435, member: 123415"] ...but your examples aren't in the same ballpark, as they're actions that do have a direct negative impact on someone other than the one engaging in them. For instance, if I steal your car...you no longer have your car. That negatively impacted you. If you hate the way mustard tastes, me eating mustard doesn't impact you negatively. When discussing the subset of "phobia" that refers to "irrational aversions", it's key to point out what "rational" and "irrational" are. Irrational would be where you want to treat non-victimizing aversions in the same manner that you'd victimizing ones. So for instance, if you hate mustard...deciding not to eat it or buy it is completely rational. Pushing to use the legal system in order to limit the actions of other people who eat mustard because of your mustard-dislike would be irrational. [/QUOTE]
