Thanks. Exactly what I thought.

“tHe NuMbErS doN’t LiE”

“Numbers” are some paltry bs that are “expected to grow in 2023” like BTC was “expected to hit a $100k in 2020”.

Clearly.

Or maybe you (and others here) need to re-read my response to understand what the point of it was. I understand what the person was saying, just don’t think bickering over how the Jewish people are a “multinational ethnic group” is relevant to the discussion.

Context and words must be hard for you. Sorry to heat that. Would you like a tissue or a shoulder to cry on?

Loud concerts are actual form of artistic expression yet there are laws in some cities that prevent loud music past 9/10pm.

Why? Because it bothers people and interferes with their lives. This is no different.

Also, I find it amusing that you think burning a book is an “artistic expression”. What’s next? Taking a shit is an artistic expression?

This isn’t about personal property. It’s about curbing and stopping acts that cause civil unrest.

Stop trying to guise this as some personal property/rights infringement non-sense.

The fact that people are arguing for it here just shows that some of these folks here don’t really believe in equal rights and a just society. If you’re religious and/or Muslim, and a law introduced to protect your sentiments, then it is “unfair”.

That’s not the point of my comment is it?

You also missed the entire point of my comment, but keep going. Very enlightening.

I said what I said. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop trying to pick apart my words in an attempt to forge an argument which has no merit.

I guess anti-senitism isn’t a thing in your book then?

Oh wait you burned all of yours away.

If there’s a group of people with a legitimate concern, a government should hear you out and make an assessment.

You as a single person can choose to do whatever you want within reason and what’s permitted by law.

You can continue to misconstrue this further however you like, but burning books is barbaric. We’re past that point as civilized society. But feel free to continue to argue for it behind the veneer of “freedom” or whatever else you can come up with.

Nah. I’m good. But go see a therapist please.

Wow dude, wow. You are the one that actually belongs in a mental asylum.

Seek help, seriously.

“The government should allow me to shoot people in the face, because otherwise it’s stepping on my personal freedoms”

Stop trying to justify xenophobia and/or dislike for religion.

People can chose to believe whatever they want. It’s the actions and the consequences that matter in a society. If burning a book becomes an act of inciting violence, then it should be reviewed, discussed and a law should come out of it as a consequence which discourages such an act. That’s how civilized societies should work which deem equality as a fundamental right for everyone.

Your hypothetical scenario is just that and we can spend days going back and forth. We are talking about a real problem here.

I can’t believe people are arguing for burning books here like medieval morons. Torah, Quran, Bible, Encyclopedia, doesn’t matter. If it incites violence and civil unrest, it should be controlled and people should be discouraged from it. This is no different than literally any other law. Wtf?

Why can’t trans people just grow up instead of throwing violent tantrums?

Why can’t women just grow up instead of throwing violent tantrums?

Why can’t jews/muslims/insert group of your choice grow up instead of throwing violent tantrums?

See how fucking stupid you sound?

Equality means equality and we shouldn’t be selective about enforcing it. If a group of people are offended by something, grow the fuck up and stop doing it. Period.

One must not ask why, for that is questioning the laws of the universe. One must question one self, so that by understanding one self, one can understand the laws of the universe.

The real question here is, y not?

Such an unfortunate “accident”.

Insert “college is useless” dogma spewed by these “experts” who at best have dropped out of their 2nd semester in college.
