What's funny is, most people won't easily spot the obvious "editorial choice" they made in pic selection.



What is the editorial choice?

I don't consider it a personal decision. So. It doesn't conflict with my opposition government getting involved in personal decisions

Whether I want to frick Jack or Jane is a personal decision.

Whether I want to kill my kid or not isn't.

Yes. I get it. People disagreed with how I just characterized it but the point is but it doesn't create any mental conflict in my own head or anybody else's who sees it the way I do.
And I submit that it is “social conservatism“ rather than “small government advocacy” that leads you to these conclusions.

Reasonable minds can differ.

Slippery slope.
The PA gives the Executive sole authority to determine who is a terrorist - with no recourse by the accused. It would be a small step to make terrorism itself a capital offense.

What's to stop the Executive from declaring political opponents "terrorists", and having them eliminated?


This.

People are down voting you now but can you imagine Narc Harris having that kind of power?

No offense, but you don't really get to tell me why I think what I think.

Hell, I'm atheist. So it damned sure isn't my religion driving it.

I am quite aware of that, which is the reason I chose the language I did.

Creoles were the white descendants of the Colonist from the Latin countries born in the new world, not Negroes.


Some were at least half "negro".

Creole just means fist generation born in America of, at least part, European ancestry. Sometimes they were the product of European-African frickery.

There are many descended from Portuguese-African Creoles in Brazil.

And. I ain't exactly socially conservative.

So. My reasons are as stated. There's nothing to figure out.
