people get all kinds of pissed off when you shoot a bear, even in places that are swamped with them, so i don't think this holds true either.
How do you feel about building codes?Then they take other measures to protect themselves. There's always a work around, it simply whether you expect everyone else to work around you or you work around the situation. Forcing others to do something like get a vaccine to protect the ones that can't get the vaccine is the truly selfish thing to do. I can't protect myself so I demand that you all protect me.
Someone giving you permission, or allowing you to do something, means it's a privilege. You don't need anyone's permission if it's a right. And that's what Molon Labe means. It's my right. And if you want to take away that right, you'll have to spill my blood to do it. Most people though, are reasonable and are able to pick and choose their battles and how they're fought. Those that can't, end up dead and smeared on the papers as a radical right wing nut job.In that case, and I don't know if this stands for all 50 states, but you don't have the right to bear arms because at least most states won't allow you to carry any size knife.
Bullshit.Oh good. a THINK OF THE CHILDREN argument.
In my eyes, a child is no more or less important than an adult. ................... Your child is your responsibility, not mine.
What does this have to do with the price of rice in china?How do you feel about building codes?

Bullshit.
Children are more important than adults, as they are what keep the world going. Every successive generation takes care of the generation before it.
Even if you don't have kids, someone's kids are going to be running everything that takes care of you when you get old and feeble. So you better hope them little fuckers are healthy and get a good education.
None of those are things that you can inherently do on your own without getting anything from others. Even voicing your own opinion is something that needs another person to hear it.A right is something that you can do, on your own, without anyone giving you anything to make it happen.
I have the right to choose
I have the right to bear arms
I have the right to voice my opinion
I have the right to feel safe in my own home
I have the right to do all of that. None of that is a privilege. I have the right to do it and I don't need anyone else to make it happen. The moment I rely on someone else to make something happen, it no longer becomes a right. It becomes a privilege.
we have building codes for elevators and bridges. I don't know crap about creating the structural integrity of elevators or bridges. I do expect that if it's open to the public, it's not a hazard.
regardless of anyone being there to hear it, it's still an opinion and I can voice it.None of those are things that you can inherently do on your own without getting anything from others. Even voicing your own opinion is something that needs another person to hear it.
you're acting like all opinions have equal weight or correctness. this isn't about having a favorite color, it's about whether you believe in science or not, and facts don't change just because someone ignores themBut to others what you think is the right thing to do, might not be so for them.
The right thing is based on a collective majority opinion. And as a part of the US, our system was designed to protect the opinions of the minority so they wouldn't get steamrolled. That's the beauty of a republic vs a democracy and the beauty of the individuals right to choose.

All opinions do have equal weight. I said nothing about correctness. Fact is not an opinion. The fact that a vaccine could wipe out a virus forever is not an opinion. An opinion that a vaccine could cause down's syndrome, is an opinion.you're acting like all opinions have equal weight or correctness. this isn't about having a favorite color, it's about whether you believe in science or not, and facts don't change just because someone ignores them
No. If someone has a different opinion than the majority they are wrong and their opinion doesn't matter. The government should force everyone to do exactly what it wants.All opinions do have equal weight. I said nothing about correctness. Fact is not an opinion. The fact that a vaccine could wipe out a virus forever is not an opinion. An opinion that a vaccine could cause down's syndrome, is an opinion.
but factually incorrect and therefore an opinion that isn't worth recognizingAn opinion that a vaccine could cause down's syndrome, is an opinion.
