For values of "unequal or punitive" = makes me feel hard-done-by.

The internet offers the possibility of direct democracy on a scale larger than a small town for the first time in history (Several small towns in New England have it, and always have). I wonder if any of our posters here would go for it.

Aww. . . did somebody hurt your feewings? Let's get you a hot cocoa.

Question: Does anybody actually give two squirts of piss about the truckers' grievances (whatever those may be), or is this just a proxy for loving/hating True Dope?

That's the Big Island. Hurlers, now. . .

Specially if it just slips your mind to announce yourselves as police. But I tell ya what. If I was a home-invasion robber, I'd crash through the door shouting "Police! On the floor!"

Can I look at the physical landscape instead? Way less disgusting. But thanks for answering my question in your own way, which, amusingly, you'd probably call "honest."

Question about terminology. . . I'm minded of a book (Ten Pound Penalty by Dick Francis) where a British politician's son asked "Are you running for office?" He replied, "If we were in America, like your friend Jeremy, I would be, but since this is Britian, I'm standing for Parliament." I know...

I don't see how her level of sexual experience is relevant.

Son, we'll never have honest discussions at all in groups bigger than what can fit in a standard-size parlor. Or kitchen table.

I don't suppose either of you has a reference to any source other than your recta? (Plural of "rectum" fer us edumacated folk.)

To quote the MAGAhats. . . "Fuck your feelings."

Not the point. You babble about "the majority" wanting this or that like it's the word from the burning bush. Until the word is something you don't like. Do you have a principle beyond "I win?" Is there any circumstance under which you could lose fairly under the rules and not piss and moan?

The point here is that GoFundMe has done huge, possibly fatal, damage to its brand. It's nice that reputation still counts for something.

The majority of Americans (who voted) wanted Hillary. Yet you follow the crazy fat kid around gobbling up his turds. What's the diff?

No, you did not. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that you had. I'll try to be a bit more careful with my wording. Everything else I agree with completely.

More abrasive than True Dope? Damn. May be that I'm just uncommonly sensitive to wokester happy talk and finger-wagging. Chaps my ass something fierce.

That's part of the issue. Another part is the presumption that a person with a gun in his own house is a deadly danger. If you support the cops here, on the information provided, ya gotta support the Toronto cops who gunned down that gunsmith. The protests aren't really about the particulars...

Yep, there you have it. "The CBC says some things that are favorable to the government." True. "The CBC receives money from the government." Also true. "This proves that the CBC is beholden to the government." Waaay-HEEEY off the diving board there, bunky. People calling you names still...

Yeah, this is why your bleat about "the greatest good for the greatest number over the greatest time" is bullshit. It's unknowable. (It also argues against the concept of rights.)
