Then if this is the case we can poopoo the idea of all statistical analysis, yes? Meaning that deaths by police should not be looked at in a per capita fashion, or judged by the merits of each case but as a tiny statistical irrelevance as reflected by the raw numbers. Your choice though.
I do apologise. I will be more precise as I should have been. This is actually about the likelihood of being specifically *murdered* by a police officer vs that of a dog. In any given year there are approximately 4 million dog attacks in the United States and 50 million police interactions. A...
Just dodge the inconvenient truths and tell another lie, Xzi. Everyone that calls out your bullshit is a white supremacist, right? Whatever you need to say to make yourself feel better about being a liar and a fantasist.
And dogs kill more people every year than police. Not that your point has any validity because of the ratio of shooters to police interactions anyway. Just another example of your devotion to delusional thinking. You are dangerous lunatics, willing conspiracy theorists and liars. Neither of you...
Our cause is totally justified because we're fighting against a myth supported by emotional arguments from a handful of cherry picked examples that do not represent the rest of reality in any rational way. Not like YOURS.
You did not do that. You said lockdown violators need to be trained like puppies. Looking back now I see you've made a ton of edits to your posts which is really unhelpful when having a real time discussion, but whatever. People having agency also does not relate to the concept of "free society"...
The lockdown can end because of any number of factors, that's not the point and never was the point. You've taken a hypothetical about public reaction to a hypothetical extended lockdown and decided to tell us all how very mad you are at people who are breaking lockdown restrictions. The thread...
Bullshit. You have no idea what measures I've been taking or the positions I've been advocating for regarding covid restrictions because you haven't even bothered to ask. The only thing I've proposed is that the lockdown is going to end because people will rebel in the long term, which is a...
There's no point in getting mad about people who aren't even a part of the conversation. You can go out there in a hazmat suit with a megaphone and look for lockdown violators to yell at if it'll make you feel better, but it's not going to change the fact that people will eventually revolt...
What unbelievable projection. You are tacitly deciding that *all* people cannot make decisions for themselves then claiming that it is others who are arrogant? Shall I fetch you a fedora to tip? Maybe a blade to study? Get a grip on your ego.
Your analogy completely ignores the agency of the people involved and the reality of the situation. They are not pets or livestock, they will not respond to authority and captivity in the same way a puppy will. Likewise you cannot stop the spread of this virus. It is too late for that...
Perhaps I was unclear but my intention was to state that there is no realistic alternative but to end the lockdowns. Keeping this up in perpetuity won't work, people already disobey the rules and the longer it goes on more will start ignoring rules until they lose all meaning. Whether they were...
You do have that right, you know. People exercise it every day to call each other the worst things you can imagine. The only thing you need be aware of is that there are legal avenues open to your targets for the most egregious lies.
From its first post this thread is appallingly dishonest. If you need a law to prevent you from stifling the speech of others, then you are likely a person without principles. That's why the government requires the first amendment to keep it in check no matter who is running it, and that is why...
Slightly stricter immigration controls aren't sufficient to make any real impact on Britain as it is today. The lockdown sucks but it will end because there is no realistic alternative. There are more measures which need to be taken in addition to curbs on immigration if the process is to mean...
