do laws apply to people equally?

2018-02-28 13:40:58 UTC  

I'm asking if you believe in equal treatment before the law. For example, you can't have Jim Crow or affirmative action.

2018-02-28 13:41:18 UTC  

And lynchings are actually dealt with.

2018-02-28 13:42:02 UTC  

I believe in the spirit of it, but I think the phrase is a worn out meme and it makes my agent orange act up when people use it

2018-02-28 13:42:04 UTC  

(As are the more modern terrorists, Antifa.)

2018-02-28 13:42:15 UTC  

Your agent orange?

2018-02-28 13:42:53 UTC  

I say that when I get irritated

2018-02-28 13:43:52 UTC  

You get irritated by people mentioning equality before the law? Reminds of the feminists who say egalitarianism is an MRA invention.

2018-02-28 13:44:19 UTC  

not actually irritated

2018-02-28 13:44:32 UTC  

if we were voice chatting you'd get what I mean

2018-02-28 13:44:43 UTC  

I have a hard time typing this

2018-02-28 13:45:10 UTC  

I do not believe people are equal in any way shape or form

2018-02-28 13:45:29 UTC  

That's not what equality before the law is.

2018-02-28 13:45:55 UTC  

If people were so similar, the society we have would not exist.

2018-02-28 13:46:25 UTC  

the law also doesn't treat people equally

2018-02-28 13:47:24 UTC  

That is to say, equality before the law exists because people aren't equal.

2018-02-28 13:48:01 UTC  

There would be far less need for it if everyone was equal in all things.

2018-02-28 13:48:43 UTC  

However, it is regularly violated with affirmative action, and rights being extended to some that are not extended to others.

2018-02-28 13:49:38 UTC  

Just as the second amendment is violated by numerous acts of firearms legislation.

2018-02-28 13:49:45 UTC  

why do you think it is regularly violated?

2018-02-28 13:50:22 UTC  

The same reason I think the 2nd amendment, a different legal construct, is regularly violated.

2018-02-28 13:50:50 UTC  

There are enforced laws on the books that violate them.

2018-02-28 13:51:58 UTC  

we all like the word liberty for example but people define it differently. I would say freedom from government and parts of my family would say freedom from responsibility

2018-02-28 13:52:21 UTC  

and I think those contrasting views

2018-02-28 13:53:39 UTC  

Neither are true.

2018-02-28 13:53:41 UTC  

make it so interpretation of law means a lot of people read it like poetry so I think the issue is deep in the human soul. Meaning I do not think people EVER have the power to apply law equally

2018-02-28 13:54:00 UTC  

Your rights can be violated by other groups.

2018-02-28 13:54:37 UTC  

I get that, the above statement is an example of contrasting views

2018-02-28 13:55:23 UTC  

Both of which are wrong, and one of which is yours. The government might not violate your right to free speech, but if antifa does, you have still had your right violated.

2018-02-28 13:57:59 UTC  

I will have to meditate on that. good talk I got to go to class

2018-02-28 13:58:09 UTC  

Oh, what class?

2018-02-28 13:58:47 UTC  

College. Micro Economics, Calculus, and Public speaking today

2018-02-28 14:06:34 UTC  

Lol

2018-02-28 14:07:22 UTC  

My ride called and said they were gonna be late

Now I know why

2018-02-28 14:07:35 UTC  

It snowed

2018-02-28 14:07:55 UTC  

we're

2018-02-28 15:42:32 UTC  

That isn't that much snow at all, fucking hell.

2018-02-28 15:42:56 UTC  

In Arizona it is
