Let's think about what happened with Russia's lander and what they have been wasting their time doing the past year and a half.

And the U.S. too, honestly. We reject education here. Even China is grinding to a halt but for other reasons. The other major powers are stagnating while India is growing, and the reasons differ from country to country, but there's a common thread amongst all of them and that common thread is where their priorities lie.

Nice try troll

You all should come on down to sopuli.xyz; it's a smaller server but the admin is intelligent enough to actually ban the extremists, so we don't deal with these problems.

Well, I don't mean it in that way at all, if that helps.

I'm glad India is moving forward even if the rest of the world is moving backward and collapsing in on itself. I'm glad at least one damn country on this Earth has its priorities straight.

I believe we have at least 13 planets in our solar system, counting Ceres, Vesta, and the other three big Kuiper Belt objects like Eris, Haumea and Makemake. If it's big enough to deserve its own damn name, and orbits the sun, and is at least roughly spherical in shape, it's big enough to be its own goddamn planet.

I am tired of being quiet about this.

All of them. Any that have any sort of limitation imposed upon the user by anyone automatically turns that right into a privilege granted to you by other people, and by extension easily removable by others at any time for any dumbass arbitrary reason.

I know you're going to say this means all rights are privileges. And you're right. We don't have any rights. We need them but don't have them. This is how humanity has chosen to carry itself through this life, and the future. We lost the plot on rights a long time ago and we might not ever get them back.

“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.” ― H.L. Mencken

Yep, that's what they are.

Every right has limits.

Yeah, that's a good way to get you into a tyrannical situation you have no way out of.

Nah, blaming her is weaksauce. It's not about the art show. It's about the fact that people were hurting an innocent woman -- and she is innocent regardless of her choices -- and doing shit they're not supposed to be doing regardless of what she says.

The people who made the choice to hurt her should have been recorded and exposed so we know who to trust and who we can't.

The art show exposed a truth that humanity has to learn to accept if it's to protect itself from evil.

This has nothing to do with the Middle Ages. Stop bringing up shit that doesn't matter.

What can we the people do? Can't we make it custom to leave cold water bottles for UPS drivers on our porches? Those squeezable ice packs? Wet towels, perhaps?

An innocent man died and all I see here is petty company vs. teamsters BS

Why aren't we talking about the fact a dude died in the heat trying to put food on his table? How about that?

Every day I thank god I live down here in Florida and not that shithole up north

But freedom of association is used to justify racial discrimination, including segregation, so that doesn't really work either.

My guy, they don't care and you aren't going to convince them to care. This isn't about misinformation. This is about their little civil war they're gearing up to kick off next year. That's all they care about because their minds are made up.

It is if you've already made up your mind that Jordan Peterson, for example, is a piece of shit and therefore nothing anyone says about the matter really matters anymore.

The people downvoting him already made up their minds. They already came to the conclusion they think is correct, and so debate is no longer needed. To them, you're needlessly drawing out an argument that has long since ended in their favor, and why would anyone do that unless they had an ulterior motive?

That's how they think. They're not really wrong; whether they're upvoting misinformation or not really IS irrelevant to the grander question and that grander question is whether JP is a fraud, and to them that answer is unequivocally yes, debate over.

Don't waste your time arguing with them. Their battle lines have already been drawn.

Every day I thank god I left that shithole of a site

This also is fair. I wonder if any of the scumbags who hurt that poor woman were charged with anything.
