There might actually be things you have posted in this thread I agree with but why then do make other dumb wild claims. "If a homeowner drops a thimble of anything into a drain, they’ll face significant fines." Nobody knows what you dump down the drain.

"turned livable, attractive cities into dangerous slums." Weird as I have not seen housing prices slump in value, they just keeping getting more costly.

They probably weren't being literal.

Sometimes, but not all times. It depends on what minority

I disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion. And also to try and change the situation democratically.

You'd be surprised.

No, there are many places where you want to think twice about responding to violence with violence, because if your violent response is deemed exaggerated, you end up being the one worse off on day of judgement.

Technically I suppose you could get away with killing if it can be shown that your life was in immediate danger, and not in the "old hobo waves a knife so cop shoots him in the back from thirty feet away" way like in the US. In practice that never happens, because it is very difficult to show that the only thing you could've done was to kill. Even if someone had you at gunpoint. Someone waving a rock or a knife? Lol no, unless you emerged out of a struggle with stab wounds or broken bones.

Your example is interesting because 21 feet is enough distance for someone with a knife to stab a someone before they can draw a gun (under 2 seconds)

I think most would agree that waiting to shot until you are suyre you will emerged out of a struggle with stab wounds or broken bones is too late.

Wouldn't people need to know what the idea is to give you advice about where you could sell it? Perhaps your lawyers know a good lead.
qweqwweqwe-90i · 4 years ago
Also, "it" needs to exist before you can sell it...

Minority rights.
qweqwweqwe-90i · 4 years ago
You either believe in a democracy or you don’t. Minority rights have been pretty well protected through democratic decisions.

> In most states, you can claim under almost any circumstances that a person came at you with a weapon (a rock?) and you shot them in self-defense.

Yeah, I realize I'm with water over my head as I don't understand US laws at all, and how it can legal to kill other people like that.

qweqwweqwe-90i · 4 years ago
I'm pretty sure any country would be fine with you killing someone in self-defense...

Does Texas have a law about standing your ground against someone trying to stop you?

If so, could the protestors then start shooting the driver in for of self defense?

Even if the law does not exist could the protestors could use self defense to shoot the driver anyway?

qweqwweqwe-90i · 4 years ago
You can't stand your ground going something illegal -> a criminal doesn't have the "right" to shoot at police .

> Many Texans conceptualize government and state uses of force (ie prosecution that can lead to imprisonment) as restrictions on their rights. This "negative rights" conceptualization is pretty common in the US, but especially common in Texas

So, the government/state has guaranteed a negative right to life, i.e. citizens are prohibited from actions that deprive someone's right to life, and in order to enforce this prohibition, citizens are deprived of their right to arbitrarily commit violence to each other, while the government/state has a monopoly.

Where does our right to arbitrarily commit violence come from? Is it just a "natural right"?

What's wrong with choosing rights democratically?

Google can't win? Their idea of removing third party cookies was on the condition everybody would accept FLoC, so Google still makes money while everybody else doesn't. Yes, it's an antitrust concern.
qweqwweqwe-90i · 4 years ago
You spread misinformation. Any ad company can use FLoC.

Let me be very explicit for you: privacy advocates say 3rd party cookies are bad b/c they allow tracking yet the eu blocks google from removing them b/c they think it might hurt their own ad tracking companies.
