clearly not

Also, I'm never looking for a fight. I'm looking for people to say "yes sir" and do what I say

Regarding public safety restrictions? Or are you just making the mistake that anything the EU does is progress that we will catch up to eventually?

Fearmongering ain't freedom. This is America. We don't trade freedom for safety like bitch ass Europeans, we ride rockets like bucking broncos for fun. Life is cheap, freedom is priceless.

But genuinely, sometimes the EU is just overly cautious. And in the case of the point I was making, again, just because the EU made a regulatory decision doesn't mean they were right to do so.

You can't use MOST of our candy flavorings in the EU. Do you genuinely think our candy is poisoning just because it's artificial, or is that just the naturalistic fallacy talkin

Just because the EU does something first doesn't mean they were right to

Exhausted.

I'm exhaust-ed. I have absolutely no expectation that religion will go away, which means I have no expectation that religious warfare is going to go away. Humans are tribal, tribes commit warfare, tribalism has only increased in my lifetime. You're all doomed.

Doesn't matter why it is, it is.

I think if you look at numbers overall you'll see that Islam is by far the worst. I definitely don't agree with the phrase that religion itself is violence because that just waters down the meaning of violence. But if it was the case that religion is violence because of control and dominance, then Islam would still be inherently worse than others.

I think like everything pedophilia is a spectrum. Big difference between a clandestine serial predator like a priest, and a young teacher fucking a high school senior. I'm only against it if it doesn't make my weiner move.

You find underage sex revolting, and I find furries revolting. I think both should be allowed.

I don't really see the behavior these days as progress, and I think you could use a dose of cultural relativism when it comes to things like teen or arranged marriage. Sex isnt inherently violating. Your modern western ideology isn't automatically progress, if anything it's a return to pagan pre Christian sexual mores. I fully support sexual freedom but I also think its current form is inherently unhealthy. I say bring back heteronormativity.
