Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old holding a pellet gun, authorities say
  • Strange. Doesn't the second amendment guarantee our right to keep and bear arms? But apparently the cops are allowed to murder us for it.

    I wonder when it will be okay for them to kill us for exercising free speech.

    🤔🤔

  • Autism rule
  • Every time you're asked to repeat yourself, use different words which mean the same thing. Saying the same thing over and over and expecting to get a different response is useless and frustrating.

  • Google Tries to Pay Off the Antitrust Division & said juries (normal people) cannot decide hard cases.
  • They are not vital. Almost no countries in the world practice trial by jury other than The US, the UK, Australia, Canada, and Ireland. The US is the only country in the world that uses trial by jury for civil cases.

    The law is complex and nuanced. Most people lack the understanding and background to apply the law justly and uniformly. It is an antiquated idea that should go.

  • That's not troubling at all
  • And Asimov spent years and dozens of stories exploring exactly those kinds of edge cases, particularly how the laws interact with each other. It's literally the point of the books. You can take any law and pick it apart like that. That's why we have so many lawyers

    The dog example is stupid "if you think about it for one minute" (I know it isn't your quote, but you're defending the position of the person the person I originally responded to). Several of your other scenarios are explicitly discussed in the literature, like the surgery.
