We hope. Whoever actually pushes the buttons might not understand the proper order of things.

He may be, but this is a very US centered post.

You know they don't let us take our guns home, right?

On this, I think we can agree.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 3 points 5 months ago

Indeed.

Of course, they are doing all the other for you mentioned, too. Morally, even if not legally. IANAL, so I can't speak with authority.

If words matter, I'm curious to know what definition of "deporting" you are using to claim that what they are doing is not deporting people.

An individual of refined taste, I see.

The one does not flow directly from the other. A better world requires some protecting from each other, which means giving up some freedoms. A system of complete and total freedom would not be good for most people.

However, as Franken said, it is important not to give up essential freedoms. What freedoms, exactly, count as "essential" ones? Hard to say. We should have a thread to discuss it.

And really into witches.

Isn't everyone?

No, it isn't.

What does that have to do with my claim?

I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of the trouble in the US was caused by people using their freedom to do terrible things to people, and to set the stage for more of the same.

Provided they don't touch freedom to not breed, and we don't put racist ducks in charge, I think that works be the easiest for me to bear.

But I don't want kids, so it's not much of a sacrifice.
