There are already farms adjacent to cities. Farms have been adjacent to cities for pretty much the entire history of human civilization.
These days there are CSA farms just outside of cities and even new housing developments built around CSA farms.
Harassment is a crime though. It occurs independent of "hate speech". If harassment happens, then the answer is to prosecute it. The answer is not to take everyone's right to speak freely away.
You would think that modern liberals would at least give lip service to free speech. It's not something they traditionally hate like guns.
>... protected from government censoring in the US. > > Added some context.
Let me add some more. In the US, liberty is though of as something that government doesn't need to "give" to you. It exists as part of your natural condition. The Constitution exists to define the limits of government. It does not enumerate your rights.
You are demonstrating that you simply don't care about the principle at large. YOU are why we need laws protecting us from evil men that would do us harm. YOU would do us harm otherwise.
>...what need is there ever for Linux? Just use UNIX, right?
I tried back in the day. The commercial Unix distributions didn't support commodity hardware. I would have paid the Iron price for them too. I drew the line at rebuilding my PC with unnecessarily expensive parts.
MacOS deviates from other Unixen so badly at anything but the lowest level that a MacOS user would find the differences an intolerable level of consistency.
The 'militia' in the context of the 1790 meant all able bodied males that might be eligible for military service. That means YOU.
In the genuine historical context you are trying to distort, YOU personally would be responsible for owning an M-16 and knowing how to use it. You would also be expected to go off adventuring with the Army whenever called to do so.
You are also deeply confused about patent reform. If anything, most ideas about IP reform in general are about getting back to practices closer to what we had in 1790. It's about getting rid of the modernist crap and stupidity derived from "living document" nonsense.
Minors aren't allowed to own hand guns in most jurisdictions. They are quite capable of handling small rifles if adequately supervised. Some kids start hunting at that age. The Boy Scouts also train kids that age in handling guns (and archery).
When are you going to come for the knives (like our idiot cousins across the pond)?
You must have been great fun in industrial arts class.
People that do this for a living can probably afford the relevant royalties for using the bog standard stuff. The rest of us likely have no reason to stop what we have already been doing.
For a long time I had enough trouble dealing with my current encoder setup (especially with Apple products). Now hardware has finally caught up to that. Tossing all of that aside doesn't really make much sense.
This stuff requires baked in specialty silicon to be useful in most cases. It can take a long time for the necessary stuff to become widely used to the point where you can just take it for granted.
> The fallacy is that you fail to consider OTHER government's (and Columbia Analytica) contamination of the social media platform(s... all).
It's a global network. Everyone is allowed to play.
If you really think that some underfunded Russians can really do better than the Koch Brothers or Bloomberg, or the entire liberal media and Hollywood then you really have a low opinion of America.
> Conversely, Republicans and the Nazis have already decided that nothing is hate speech.
So Republicans are the only ones left that truly believe in liberal Western values. I guess I will be voting Republican from now on then.
The whole point of giving peasants like you this little bit of freedom is that you can say what needs to be said to the powerful without risk of punishment because you've manged to offend them. Bring back harsh punishments for political heresy and speech from the masses becomes politically useless.
Lay off the crack pipe. As bad as the Big Brother nonsense has become, it is nothing remotely like what people had to deal with on the other side of the Iron Curtain.
People with a total lack of awareness about the survelliance state we already live in are suddenly shocked by this. This is finally something that they can relate to.
> Hmm.. guess I gotta differ there. I vote based on what I think is best for the country, you vote to win a 5th-grade level argument. I'm guessing life treats me nicer than it does you.
Hillary thinks your vote is more important if your state contributes more to the economy. She is the reason we have split representation in Congress and the Electoral College made manifest.
Trump really is the lesser evil here.
That's not even getting into the civil liberties that modern liberals will happily trample all over.
My rare condition that you've never heard of is due to a malfunction in a gene we have in common with slime mold. If you are enough of a science groupie to defend Monsanto, then you should also believe in evolution and grok the possibilities there.

It's like a French bodega that wants to sell you cabbage for $3 per pound.

David Cutler likely didn't have to "steal" anything. It was already in his head. All he had to do was just spit it out again.
David Cutler stole David Cutler.

They annoy AIX admins too.

You're just butt hurt that there are girls that will be his groupies. You are either jealous or object to the life choices of others.
Consensual debachery is not the remotely the same as Clinton/Weinstein style sexual harassment.

It's much like our surface navies facing off.
> apparently censorship is when you clean graffiti from your own property
Except it's not graffiti. It's the user generated content you told everyone they could create.
You're just making a weak excuse for fascist nonsense. You don't care about our founding principles and will find any weak excuse to violate them.
> It only gets murky when humans lie about their intentions
Which is pretty much always.
Someone tried to sue Facebook over censorship. They claimed abuses under the Lanham act. They claimed fraud and false advertising.
The judge basically went "Meh. Everyone lies. Their basic claims about their product are just nonsense. We don't care.".

> If I disarm you, I am not violating your 2nd amendment rights.
If you disarm me, you are committing a common law crime and a tort and I have legal recourse against you.
You are also risking getting shot by the rest of my family including the ones that live nearby. Some of them are within rifle range.

> Why would producers genetically modify crops to tear up your guts from the inside? That does not sound like a viable business strategy (nor legal).
Based on that we would have no cigarettes, booze, opiods, lead paint, asbestos, or exploding cars.
Do you have such naieve blind faith in government too?

In a free society, you are able to publish and access ANY THING.
If that bothers you, I suggest you find a Stalinist regime to flee to.
As a matter of academic historical interest, all of the original Nazi materials should be accessible on YouTube. Forget about the new stuff.
It's like people suddenly forgot what country they live in and what century this is.
> Fooling people into believing America is still rich?
Lay off the liberal media narrative.
American trailer trash live better than most of the world (including Europe).
> Yeah, you nailed it. A healthy society is for pussies.
A medicated society is by definition the OPPOSITE of healthy.
If you are on drugs, you are by definition broken.
I take about 20 pills a day myself. I don't kid myself about that being in any way, shape, or form... "healthy".
