The government can force you to pay taxes, serve in the military, and go to jail for a long list of inconsequential things, but forcing you to show up and put a piece of paper in a box once every four years is going too far?
You know that immediately blaming 'jews' instead of an actual unified organization for something makes you look like a tinfoil-hat-wearing lunatic, right?
Exactly. I would have every reason to feed my mindfile copied material from talented people in order for it to project the most positive image possible. A new generation of content theft for upvotes.
Just because flight was tougher than strapping a couple wings to our arms or summoning up a magic carpet doesn't mean it wasn't ultimately possible. There are new challenges to leaving earth. That's no reason to give up on it entirely.
Except that as soon as you start to download it and see the waves of fishy advertising and requests to install third-party software you should know something is up.
We should combat crime using methods that do not lend themselves so readily to abuse. A legal system exists for the purpose of punishing crime. Mob vigilantism has proven throughout history to be dangerously unjust.
Don't get caught up in your superhero fantasies and think that they can be applied to the real world.
In this one case. However, the methodology is still extremely dangerous to use. The Salem witch trial methods would still have killed many innocents even if witches did exist. And that's what is going to happen here.
Someone moderately clever will post horrifically offensive content under someone else's name, then "catch" the designated offender and post their info and purported crimes to social media.
Is slashdot violating a human right by not publishing my cupcake recipes? Isn't that violating my right to free speech? No. Forcing an individual or company to facilitate my speech is not a right, and never has been.

Sounds like a good way to get good detectives shot.
Nobody is being forced to take this class. Schools are just being forced to offer it.

And it's this perspective that is why the system doesn't work.
You sound like an emotional person. I'm glad there are logical people who are willing to engage in discussion.

Funny how "positive" in this case seems to mean simply "more like me".

Because people have expensive plastic surgery all the time for no good reason?

A satire of a book is still in no way the same as a good adaptation of the book.
Only if the sample group has the same characteristics as the group you are trying to apply your findings to at large.

I'm not saying it is. It's just ironic that the man with confrontational words chooses the most evasive identity.

The general idea is that people will hear the story, learn from it, and then not take the risk that the same will happen to them.
It may not be the best strategy, but historically it has had some degree of success.
The Salem Witch Trials were good thing. After all, there might have been some real witches there.
Funny how the person who recommends violent responses to trouble hides their identity to prevent anyone from responding in kind to them.
I guess there's some [citation needed] what posting claims of that nature.
On the one hand, this almost seems insightful. On the other hand, you wouldn't be the first poster here on Russian payroll.
Methane has always been combustible.
Sure you do. Pay up and host your own website.
It's called suppression fire.
