So where\'s the line, DH? How many rights should you be allowed to have? What constitutes a right? What constitutes "free"? What is moral.. ethical? Basically, it\'s all a matter of opinion.
For example, PETA thinks that being ethical means going vegetarian. Okay.. and what\'s their reasoning?
That God\'s creatures, quote on quote, deserve better. I guess these whack-jobs didn\'t read the Bible, perhaps they accidentally picked up an issue of Entertainment Weekly because it says right in Genesis that God wants man to use animals as he wishes. That would make PETA\'s ethics a little bit hypocritical, right?
Well, what can you do? Nobody ironed out the thousands of flaws in our law system. Humans aren\'t perfect, obviously. Anyways, onward to your next comment..
Under the RAVE act huge fines can be given to people who own property where drug use is taking place, This is a huge attack on small clubs etc all over the place
Certain drugs are illegal. Similar to the way we\'re going after countries that harbor terrorism (another enemy) we\'re going to penalize those who harbor criminals. Oooohhhh, I have to pay a large fine because I decided to break the law! That\'s so unfair and infringing on my rights! Ooooohhhhh! I\'m not going to defend anybody here, but you\'re arguing that we should be able to get away with criminal acts. Am I right, or no? I might have missed a beat.
Heterosexual married couples still get more money then gays, simply because they arn\'t gay.
What\'s your logic here? Heterosexual couples can have children naturally. This is more of a moral issue, though. To most people, marriage goes beyond just a legal bond. Anyways, I didn\'t notice gay marriage being much of an issue for the past ~220~ years we\'ve been an independent country. Homosexuals are perceived not to be natural by many (including myself) and thus many (the majority) would agree that we can\'t make exceptions for perversion from the natural. It\'s a like-it-or-lump-it situation, frankly. A quagmire. You like dicks? I\'d suggest praying that gay marriage goes into law, which it likely won\'t.
Under the patriot act, people lose a bunch of rights that they had if they are ever suspected of a crime, for instance, a man at an animal rights protest was immediatly investigated for a vandalism crime just because he was at the protest.
This is why I said you were wrapped up. You\'re just throwing things out there about losing civil rights (like the apparent "lack of responsibility for crimes one commits" right) which is something a lot of left-wing (and some right-wing, mind you) politicians are peddling. What rights are you talking about? You said it yourself.. he was
investigated. Why? It sounds like he\'s been caught for committing acts of vandalism before.. which would mean it\'s on his record. If not, then they have the right to investigate him. He\'s in a big crowd of protestors, which is capable of such a thing.. and if he didn\'t do the crime, there should be no problem.
I\'m no newbie to this treatment. Only about a month ago, I was about to board a train when I was grabbed by a couple of cops who suspected me of committing a drug-related crime. They took me inside, searched and interrogated me.. at no point telling me why (I had to put the pieces together myself to figure it out) ... and eventually came to the conclusion that I was completely innocent. When my parents found out, they were quick to say it was unlawful and that I should do something legally.. but I personally thought, as it was happening.. that it was the right thing to do. What I would have done.
Sorry if I offended anybody with this post, but ehheh.. recently I\'ve decided to stop holding back.
