i dont think this line of questioning is leading anywhere meaningful

but i do have a question for you

well, it started with you asking why you don't stab someone and for you and me, its not because its against the law. Where were you going with that?

for me its because i dont want to harm or kill someone, another person in my community

whats it for you

more less the same. also because i believe in treating others how you would want to be treated, because its stupid to expect others to treat you better than how you treat them.

so it would be stupid of me to expect someone not to stab me if i stab other people

that seems fair

my point is social contracts matter

just like it would be stupid of me to expect cops not to shoot at me when i pull a gun on them, but apparently BLM doesn't believe that

far more than laws

laws come late

laws tend to come into place when there is a breakdown of social contractual order

and the the point i was going to make, which is that laws can/do give an outline for what, in the society you are in, is or is not okay. now, this gets trickier the more you abstract law makers from the people the law governs

so, when i asked what do you do or want to see happen, can become a law of your community for simplicity sake

also so that anyone new entering the community knows these things from the moment they enter

or can know these things at least

what i want to see happen really doesnt matter

but it does.

it does in the same way as your vote counts

it does count, otherwise you wouldn't have any opinion on what you want to see happen

you still have personal agency

i have plenty of opinions that dont count and dont matter

you can still more or leave where you are. unless maybe you are in NK

but i had a question for you

and this one i think, hope can be answered more easily

where are you from?

US

i grew up in Baltimore, MD

So did I.

(we got a Baltimore exchange program here?)

<:LUL:230629383071727616>

for the record, i'm not from Baltimore. I'm from the northeast.

(i should have answered the from question like a sovereign citizen)

i dont even know what that means

i just like to know where people are coming from, literally and otherwise

which part, the northeast or sovereign citizen?

the latter

they basically like to say they are a US citizen but the rules don't apply to them because the articles of confederation say so

also the name of a domestic terrorist organization.
