I think you need to keep in mind that not everyone's religion is the same, so basing laws on it is pretty impractical.

Depends. Part of that Paradox of Government thing I mentioned. Murder is prohibited by a lot of religions. Like I said in the past except you didn’t see it because it was the future then, not a Theocracy or a religion based state.

If I made laws based on Wiccan beliefs, for example, I doubt Dom would be the biggest fan.

True. Freedom of religion is a must. But maybe I only think that Bc it’s part of Christianity Lol.

@berlioz October 22, 2020

Well isn't the Wiccan rede do what you will and harm none? Seems pretty American to me, I'm all for that.

@Althalosian-is-the-father October 22, 2020

Pretty open to interpretation.

@berlioz October 22, 2020

Idk, that's really the essence of the law. You have freedom up until the point you harm people.

Deleted user October 23, 2020

it's really not, Dom. "An ye harm none, do what ye will."

@Althalosian-is-the-father October 23, 2020

Essence of Libertarianism anyways. But then you have to define harm and people.

@croccin-champagne October 23, 2020

do we seriously have to define harm, dom. is it not self explanatory

@Althalosian-is-the-father October 23, 2020

In legal matters everything must be defined. But let’s say I say something rude. I hurt you emotionally. That is a type of harm. Should I be prosecuted?

@croccin-champagne October 23, 2020

well it shouldn't be ignored that you had said something bad enough to hurt me like that. but to be entirely fair, you kinda sound like an ass. harm in a context like this should be obvious, and if it isn't, that's more a problem on the person who doesn't understand it

@Althalosian-is-the-father October 23, 2020

Well it might be obvious harm, or not. But I always hedge myself by saying Physical harm. That’s the only one that should be illegal. Too messy otherwise.

Did you not read my answer?

speaking of debates, this presidential one is going a lot better than the last.

@ElderGod-Icefire October 23, 2020

That's because they're using a fucking mute button and Trump can't interrupt like a child

@spacebluelily October 23, 2020

I'm watching it right now, and Trump is still interrupting.
He's interrupting the poor woman and Biden.

Deleted user October 23, 2020

I haven't seen a lot of interrupting actually. Fuck Trump, but he's doing better– Still speaking over the mediator but I'll acknowledge he's respecting Biden a bit more this time.

@spacebluelily October 23, 2020

Yes, I can agree that he is doing better. At least he's respecting Biden a bit more. It'd be better if he would stop talking over the mediator, though.

Deleted user October 23, 2020

For sure. Poor woman. He's also said a few questionable things.

@spacebluelily October 23, 2020

Indeed, he did. I just want Trump to stop interrupting the woman. It's just rude.
When she says, "we're going to move on" he still keeps on talking. Jesus, that man.

@Becfromthedead October 23, 2020

I can't even watch. It's just too damn depressing. Except I am taking a class that deals some with politics so I might have to. Are they covering a different set of topics tonight? If so, they probably won't talk about healthcare again.

@spacebluelily October 23, 2020

Actually, they were just talking about healthcare. And now they're talking about immigration. I am now very curious about what both have to say.

@Becfromthedead October 23, 2020

Hhhhh now I HAVE to watch it for class

Deleted user October 23, 2020

I don't care if you like Trump. He's a dumbass. Especially in debates.

Deleted user October 23, 2020

yES JOE MY MAN THAT WAS A GOOD POINT

@spacebluelily October 23, 2020

I might not be able to watch it completely. I'm watching it on youtube at the moment and I doubt my brother is going to let me change the channel.

Deleted user October 23, 2020

I want to watch til the end but I'm literally about to go to sleep, I'm exhausted

@spacebluelily October 23, 2020

Well, at least you watched some of it.

@Becfromthedead October 23, 2020

I'm going to scream…….
If I heard it correctly, Biden said a statistic about kids getting separated at the border and Trump said "good."

@spacebluelily October 23, 2020

I heard that too. I thought I misheard, but apparently not.
This man is messed up.

Debate. Debate. Debate.
