i agree! back to swords and maces!

😛

but yes you're absolutely right

And again, with the "well just call the police" argument, I would normally ask what if they don't show up on time. With the Parkland shooting I now get to ask, "what if the police don't do anything?"

but thats my take on pretty much every single "leftist" argument nowadays, its literally like they took a valid Issue, and cut out the last 50% of it

Emotion says „guns bad“, logic says „no guns worse because bo guns not happening“

People being offended is bad, but it breeds strength and you can't "never offend" anyone

Gun violence can quickly escalate, but if you make guns illegal, criminals can still use them so you'd disarm citizens

Censorship can help against stupid ideas, but censorship can also prevent good ideas from being spread

Child labor is a bad thing, but the alternative is that they have to find other more terrible means to survive in those countries (prostitution etc)

You always have to think of the consequences and side effects more than of what you are actually trying to achieve... and thats not really intuitive when you are guided by emotion.

You can‘t not offend.

Slavery is the worst thing ever, but maybe you shouldn't be buying that Apple phone, and starbucks latte used with african beans

😛

Even just doing/saying nothing can be offensive.

Just be sure to stay out of the UK when you say something on the internet... they jail people for wrongthink.

well, they cant get me if i'm anonymous! 😛

You really think you are anonymous on the internet?

to be fair, i used to think NO i'm not

but secret services thinking that everything is russia now despite no evidence etc, has led me to believe i can get away with it

simply because modern "civil protection" is getting incompetent

like uhm

in holland here

last month, the ING bank website got DDossed for a day

I don't think the actually believe that it's Russia. I think they're just using that as a scapegoat.

and secret services said it was russia

turns out it was a local 18 year old boy that did it for "the lulz"

Well... the media mafia on the other hand is really good at abusing laws to find people.

well i've never openly stated my identity on any open forums etc, that was connected to my nicknames Jayred or Dr.Wol

so if they find out, they'll have gotten that info from some company that has said they'd protect my privacy, which means i can sue

There is a difference between the public statements of secret services and their secret information 😁

Not if they invoke anti-terrorism laws.

Which, as indicated now by the UK, is possible.

i'm not gonna sue the state, i'm gonna sue said company for violating my privacy

Good luck with that 😁

and you are right Falko, there is,

But it doesn't do them good if they accuse a foreign power, and in the process ruin their reputation by it being discovered that their source and statement was false

Well... it‘s EU so... you might actually have luck with it 😁

i'd rather do it under US laws, EU laws don't value privacy

then again, i might be able to say i'm offended

Offense laws apply in EU now

"I'm offended" doesn't work if you're white.

i got mistaken for a Turkish person this very week

And male.

i pass off as a pale muslim 😛
