It helps to think of getting sick as the price you pay for boosting your immune system.

Maybe they should swear in on a guillotine.

So basically anyone who wants to come here can come as long as they are law abiding and not diseased or whatever?

How do you have open borders and yet restrict criminals or suspected terrorists from entering? Either you have no restrictions or you have some restrictions. If you have some restrictions then you will have illegals that need to be deported which means you will need some kind of enforcement to do the deporting. There is no feasible way to run a modern country with truly open borders.

Affordable Health care isn’t why you are fat…

I have no problem with it. Any limitation on candy is fine by me. It’s a luxury and a treat and it should stay that way. Not sorry if the candy and high fructose corn syrup industry suffers either.

The pandemic, or rather the handling of the pandemic, IS the reason. People lost confidence in a lot of institutions during the pandemic.

It also won’t prevent you from collecting a gang and bullying people.

So nothing then. If you want something then you take it, if you are more powerful. That sounds problematic.

Well in the context of the original story, who is the Nazis? Is it the Chinese government putting peaceful Christians in jail? Or is it the Christians themselves who present a danger to society, thereby justifying their incarceration/disappearance. Seems like the answer should be obvious, and yet people don’t agree.

Nah that’s just a way to justify being intolerant while acting like you value tolerance.

Yeah? Did they throw you in jail for your beliefs? Or try to kill you? There’s a difference between expressing an ignorant or bigoted opinion, compared to infringing on someone’s human rights.

At this point the paradox of intolerance is used to justify intolerance more than it’s used to prevent intolerance.

People have been making jokes since weeks after 9/11, and too soon has been a meme the whole time. I’m assuming and hoping that it still will be in 100 years.

While I don’t disagree with you, that isn’t at all what he said.

I got a feeling it’s just a particular religion. The level of moral and mental integrity in this thread is abysmal…

Lol that’s your takeaway? If you are against oppression except when it’s against people you don’t like, then you support oppression.

Just because you really really want something to be true doesn’t make it any more likely to actually be true.

Nobody cares about crying unless you cry about stupid things. If a toddler cries because they can’t have an entire pack of oreos, it’s normal, but if an adult cries for that reason then they should grow up. If a child cries because they skinned their knee it’s understandable, but if an adult does, then they need to grow up.

These kinds of posts are ignorant at best and elitist at worst. The reality is that mass transit is great for specific living conditions and locations. If you don’t fit into that then it’s worthless and you will need a car. Either these people somehow aren’t aware, or they think that everyone should live like they do.
