Sunday School 4 years, 6 months agoJust read article about the Boston flag.
Yeah that is more indication of what is increasingly clear to me that nearly everything in the human sphere is BS. Just no integrity.
It is speech cuz there was an important political speech case concerning flag burning. There is a clear distinction between an individual acting in her individual…[Read more]

I wonder if an American politician named Bong Bong is electable.

Once again am unable to respond on your profile.
“Jay let’s keep the crap that keeps us divided even though we know that it’s false, I’m saying to you, “why?” because I believe that people who are not aware of the constructs that keeps us divided as humans when we are all one species.
I have no idea how you reached that conclusion. None. I don…[Read more]

Ok, it is working again.
Are you saying ALL people who identify as White are racist?
If so is it fair to conclude you are a racist? I can see drawing conclusions about individuals who identify with extreme political parties and hate groups but White? It is way too diverse a group to make such broad assumptions. Were the White…[Read more]

You are not making sense. So you deny racism can come from Non-Whites? The people who invented race are dead! Racism, however, is alive and well. I brought up the topic of whether racism is equally abhorrent when it comes from the oppressed vs. the oppressor. I guess you are of the opinion that it is ONLY…[Read more]

You staw dogged me a few times. I despised racism long before the contemporary cultural movements.
I think you are deceiving yourself. Correct me if i am wrong. You wrote, “What’s wrong with you White people? Further you have expressed those sentiments in words and implicitly in the nature of your links repeatedly. I have tried to get…[Read more]-
What is wrong with you? I don’t think like you do and the only people who are racist are the people who invented it and calls themselves white. Go yell at your Neo Nazi hate mongering people who calls themselves white the same as yourself. Black and Indigenous People have never done anything to you. Don’t put the way you think on me if you…-

Ysumlin are you checking whether any of us are reading your posts? You've told us there is no White or Black person. We are all one. Remember? The logic is as bad as original sin's? In what universe is a person who has no part and in historical atrocities responsible for or embracing those atrocities. If you want to play that sophmoric game i am…[Read more]

Too bad you don’t comprehend the fact that the white race is a myth and I do not see them as nothing but a myth. These laws were written by men who calls themselves white but I see them as Black Men who hate being Black. So if you and others like you who wishes to see skin colors as a race, good for you but leave me out of this because, I…

Robert the way you have framed the issue makes me think of Locke and his construct, the social contract.
Is it the state that has the power to decide what constitutes freedom? Everything an individual enjoys emanates from the state? Any way an individual is circumscribed is a result of the exercise of the state’s authority. Or are certain…[Read more]

I suppose default rights have to be distinguished from rights that are created legally and universally enjoyed like Miranda rights. Specific circumstances (being arrested) trigger the right to remain silent etc. Miranda rights were created as a result of past injustice. (Privileges are related but a different species.)

Robert, i suppose it is necessary to define terms before having a serious discussion. I think in common parlance rights are inherent and inalienable. Buying mustard is as aspect of commerce. That is a right of any citizen who has not otherwise forfeited the rights of a citizen.
Injuring another is subject to either civil liability or criminal…[Read more]

I’m starting to wish a Philosophy of Law course had been among my philo studies.
Is this ever discussed in law courses: Is having a right the default unless it’s abrogated or limited by law?
In other words, I have the right to buy mustard, engage in recreational sex, or wander near and far unless some law takes that right away or lim…[Read more]

I just read how the life span of c. elegans has been extended 500 percent. It feels to me like we are on the verge of a medical revolution and when ya extrapolate the insertion of AI into the equation it is sci fi on our doorstep. Then again so is armageddon.

Maybe the USA will be divided (or ought to be) into two countries. The viewpoints of the majority right and left are so far apart that it might be the best thing. Beats civil war or the possibility of descending into outright fascism.

Unseen…Maybe not a direct assault but by taking past actions into account, it might color their decision in certain cases. That isn’t impossible, is it?
Not sure i follow you. However the scenario i laid out is so contrary to the fundamental notions of justice that it would be shocking.

Oh and i think it was your link about Louisiana. Out of the fog…well it could have been NPR..

jakelafort replied to the topic Roeing Away… in the forum Politics 4 years, 6 months ago
Unseen, if that issue is taken on cert. and the decision reverses the plain meaning and precedent concerning ex post facto laws then this nation is utterly gonzo. I heard today that Louisiana is gonna pass a law making abortion into homicide. Imagine the scenario where some poor woman is raped and gets an abortion and then is prosecuted for…[Read more]

Man i hate that fire in the crowded theater hypothetical. It throws people off. It is only ever a 1st amendment speech issue if the government is legislating against the subject speech. In any event yes the first amendment is absolutely not absolute. It is filled with limitations. It is essentially a balancing act between the rights of…[Read more]

Unseen: agree that bucking ex post facto laws is unlikely even for a court recently infused with three conservatives who effectively lied their way onto the court by asserting, basically, that Roe v. Wade was protected by stare decisis. And isn’t lying to a government official illegal, BTW?
However, I can imagine some wiggle room for a h…[Read more]

Sunday School 4 years, 6 months agoYsumlin i share your wrath as to racism. I have since childhood.
The problem is people use labels to categorize. That just won’t change.
I am not sure that there has been a period since recorded history that is devoid of shocking exploitation. I am excluding some indigenous peoples who lived in North America, Africa, and South America. The…[Read more]
