Good point Srijan!!! I agree

Captain G. What's my obligation to believe them?

Malachi and JP agreeing on something. A miracle.

😄

Although I would humbly propose this is how you come to establish laws based on ethics based on secular morality- no god required. 😉

Booyah!

Yea

No guns, no problems.

Since people can't be trusted to be reasonable.

There you go. No guns, no problem.

No life, no problem.

No wait. Pepper spray gun or CO2 gun. That's ok

No woman no cry?

😎

Cause you got "arms" in the Constitution

nihilism.

You take arms from the police too. You let them have pepper spray guns and CO2 like the rest of population. No real bullet.

Like in Europe. Only special units counter terrorism can wear bullet and AK guns

everyone just gets an attack weasel

Taking real bullet guns away from Americans is like us Europeans working 50 hours a week. Cause we have 40 hours week. People will riot.

Everyone having guns is like decentralizing tyranny, so the Govt dosn't have to answer. Like: "You guys opress each other so we don't have to."

All force is usually a deterrent - you can control people much more effectively without bringing attention to yourself economically than by force 🙂

Yes Yes

But why is so many deterrents are needed? This happens when fear is so pervasive through society. And I think weapons heighten fear instead of diminishing it.

Is that fear irrational?

God given right? 🙄

Rational or Irrational don't matter. It's real. And produces real consequences

People armed to the teeth.

It's like driving maximum speed on a highway 10.000 Rpm and worrying for a small dip in the asphalt. It will eventually happen.

Boom!!! ^_^

A mental institution is not only about rehabilitation or keeping society safe. It's about offering confort as people grow old. Especially if they dont have family

I wouldn't bet on Charity in America , since people tend to be so individualistic and self-centered. It sounds good in theory, but when it comes to the individual choice, an individualistic society is profoundly profit - maximizing.

It will only maximise disparities.

Individualist doesn’t mean self centered

In theory not. But in practice it seems like that way.

Leaving Charity at the mood of one individual introduces too many variables in the game. Every1 has a subjective threshold and acceptance to give away stuff. A greedy billionaire will donate probably less than a millionaire devoted Christian. I've met millionaires who think they are still poor.
