Is it the role of government to legislate what is right and wrong. Should they be responsible for forming public decency or is the public to decide what is moral? Or is government's purpose only limited to absolute nessacary tasks which allow civilization to form on it's own? Force

Thank you for your response SmOOtH.Sorry it took so long to respond back. So should they make something illegal simply for the fact that it's not considered moral by some regardless of it not being particularly dangerous? Force

The public should decide what is moral not just a group of politicians.
