  • Tories' Choices, Not Millennials: Britain's Population Collapse Cause

  • A generation doesn't get born and then suddenly decide not to have children, despite it being a defining feature of being alive.

    Some environmental factor must influence them - you can't blame the kids themselves.

    Aren't fertility rates also a lot lower?

  • Some people have to complain about how bad things are - when things work the way they are supposed to these people get upset becuse cynicism is also a mask to hide lazy thinking.

  • I guess this explains why the US ruling class hates China so much.

  • In early April 2020, Chinese authorities in the southern city of Guangzhou, Guangdong province, which has China's largest African community, began a campaign to forcibly test Africans for the coronavirus, and ordered them to self-isolate or to quarantine in designated hotels. Landlords then evicted African residents, forcing many to sleep on the street, and hotels, shops, and restaurants refused African customers. Other foreign groups have enerally not been subjected to similar treatment.

  • Women are women because they were born in to a female body.

    There is no "soul" that is born into the wrong body.

    Some people have gender dysphoria and that is sad and we should help them, but that doesn't mean we should pretend that there is some magical essence of the "true" personality.

    That concept is utterly degrading and limiting ro women.

    The mixture of narcissism and thinking they are always morally superior beings has created this situation.

  • I did think about this, but I know sweet FA about Linux; they know sweet FA about Linux; and should any problems come up in future, using Linux severely limits the chances of a casual acquaintance being able to help out.

    But you're right, it would be a decent solution... If the situation was a bit different I might go with that.

    If it was someone I was likely to pop in on to fix things for example.

  • I never said it wasn't a problem.

    I said it wasn't socially acceptable.

    Let me give you an example because it seems that you're getting too emotional to think straight.

    Theft is a problem.

    Theft is not socially acceptable.

    Does that make things clearer for you?

  • I don't know what you mean by anti vaxxers. What defamation cases arr you talking about?

    As for the rest of it, defamation laws vary from state to state, and defamation very much is an exception to to the first ammendment.

    I think you are a bit confused about how defamation cases work.

    If your comments are not protected if they are defamatory. The decision is made in the trial, not "before" the trial.

    The defamatory statements are presumed to be untrue, it is for defendant to prove that they are not true.

    If you go on record as saying something defamatory, and it can be shown be harmful to reputation, then you HAVE to be able to prove it is true.

    Otherwise people could just accuse anyone of anything all the time, and that would be utter chaos.

    You can't prove a negative.

    So it you accuse me of molesting my patients, and I have beverage molested my patients, how can one prove it or doesn't make sense.

    Here are the tests for defamation in Alabama:

    To be defamatory:

    • The statements must not be true but presented as facts (not opinions).
    • The statements must be published or spoken.
    • The statements must be read or heard by others.
    • The statements must cause injury to your reputation.
    • The statements are not protected under any kind of legal privilege.

    If this black mayor guy is accusing others of racism, then they can sue him.

    Obviously accusing government employees of racism and refusing to follow orders will harm their reputation.

    There's Tests to decide that, but it's pretty obviously the case here.

    The mayor has presented his opinions as facts. That is also clear.

    Whether his remark are true or not would be for the court to decide, and would clearly be what the court case would be about.

    The mayor has damaged to reputation of these people - and he will be found to have defamed them unless HE can prove his statements were true because HE is the one who made them.

    Truth is a (the!) defence for defamation.

    The last compounding factor would be whether he has a special kind of legal privelage. I don't know how it works for them in that regard.

    Sorry, but the longer I think about this the more I think it is you who are deeply confused about defamation law.

  • But fascism wss also heavily defeated by a world war and that didn't stop it.

    So if you're picking things that don't work, then violence also doesn't work.

    It's almost as if you are more interested in ideating about committing violence than actually solving the problem.
