Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

When you live in a country, there is an obligation to that country. You pay taxes, you fight in a war of self defense, etc.

That's a common misconception, but you are under no obligation to sacrifice your life for anyone without a prior consent.

If an organization tries to control your body or demands you to sacrifice your life, it's a dangerous cult. Run.

That’s a philosophical topic and not the law. Legally in America if you are called you must go. Otherwise you go to jail.
