2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Just kill the useless and dangerous folk and it’ll work out in the benefit of society.

Who will be deemed useless and dangerous?
Who will have this power to judge?
Will they be responsible, or corruptible?

Exactly. I said that to make the death penalty look bad, which it is.

Me. I see no problem with this. All of me in favor, say aye. Aye. The ayes have it, motion passed.

Will you still have no problem with this if you're deemed useless?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Let me check. Do I deem myself useless. No. Looks like we're good to go.

The only danger that creeps in here is 'who gets to decide who is useless and dangerous?' because I wear glasses and don't feel like being on the receiving end of a Khmer Rouge style microcide.

Good for you, it's not glasses this month, it's the hearing aids that indicate "useless" status and crutches for dangerous because you can use them as weapons.
