Realdeals:
Thank you NCC
It is crazy, 100% sudden hike, with immediate implementation.

tunwumi:
It is quite shocking that Nigerian law is toothless and doesn't have value we expected.

Can star Link try this in America?

kkins25:
Yes, that would make you fascist. After all, my brain, my choice!

kkins25:
Republicans are taking a huge heat due to Trump's stup.i.dity. But, the team has something the Demos currently lack--- "blind unity." Biden must be crying himself to sleep. hahahahaha.

kkins25:
Maga, I think, is a one-time sensation that will die when Trump loses steam.

bemeruca:
can you have sex with a woman if she does not agree to it?

bemeruca:
i am not talking about rape. most women who are doing abortions are not doing it because of rape. So that is an exception.

raumdeuter:
I wrote a long post on liberals who oppose abortion and conservatives who support abortion but spaaambo00t wont let me post it

wirinet, budaatum, Xavier5

Is the person below Conservative or liberal?

IjeBos:
Even the UK is doing a better job with it from what I've read.
There has to be a balance. And I think laws can be structured that make spreading disinformation harder without running afoul of the 1st amendment. Maybe it's time to tweak section 230 and allow liability to media platforms that don't make a good faith concerted effort to shut down clear discernable lies that endanger the public good. The key of course would have to be in the language. We don't allow people to go into a crowded people and yell "FIRE" understanding what consequences that causes, we shouldn't allow the same on social media.

And Biden addressing American would be educating them.

In fact, you usually are allowed to do that without fear of arrest, lawsuits, or other legal consequences. Shouting “Fire” in a crowded theater, a metaphor that dates to a 1919 Supreme Court ruling by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., is widely—and wrongly—held to be a far-reaching exception to the First Amendment, which offers broad protection to free expression in the United States.

Egyptian god that loves fruit

IjeBos:
Lol. I mean to the US.
In this scenario there are people who may need aid who may not get it because of the disinformation Musk is spreading.

Biden should speak out. Not only would it be good governing (making sure people know what resources are available) it would be good politics. Showing Trump to be a liar about something as serious as a disaster.

Xavier5:
I wanted to go with a follow up question, does that mean nothing is inherently true or right? But then I saw the bolded. At least, you admit that truly there are things that are actually or inherently true or right, irrespective of individual opinions. You call them knowledge, I call them diverse names; concepts, beliefs, values, knowledge that are inherently or actually true or right. That's all I've been saying all this while.

Xavier5:
Personal opinions are personal opinions. Reality is reality. How do we know what's actually or inherently true or right? Evidence, reasoning, and universal intrinsic knowing.

Xavier5:
And that's the summary of all I've been saying. That's why I made it clear that objectivity and subjectivity both exist.

wirinet:
You can't be liberal and at the same time be anti-abortion. Liberalism to means freedom of beliefs, actions and my body, as long as it does not infringement on the rights of other persons or injurious to the long term wellbeing of society.

bemeruca:
So you are angry?

You'd be fine if TDS was not an issue for you.

LordReed:
BTW are you the one who said Xavier5 isn't a liberal? Do you know who said so?

Xavier5:
Belief is subjective in the context of personal opinion? Or in the context that certain values or beliefs are inherent true and right? Which one.

Xavier5:
Secondly, we can't all believe the same things, that's true.

Xavier5:
But the argument is not if we must or should belief the same thing, but if some beliefs are inherently true or right.

bemeruca:
So you are angry? Atheists like you don't do well when it comes to objective morality.

budaatum:
Good for him and his daughter.

They both should accept my condolence for their loss and my support.

bemeruca:
They are only objecting because Donald Trump is there. These same people make excuses for things they should be mad for all the time including you.

bemeruca:
This guy is

And this guy

ObaIgwe1:
I wanted to explain the differences between secular, non secular and atheist countries as it relates to the point you raised.. but for you, it will be a waste of time.

LordReed:
I don't think anything has intrinsic value. All value is subjective ...

Xavier5:
Intrinsic human value is the belief...

bemeruca:
people who want to put gay practice in the church are angry that trump endorsed bible is being sold.

Xavier5:

IjeBos:
I think bad things can happen if too many people believe untrue nutty things. i.e. Government aid workers are there to take your land.

IjeBos:
Some people are threatening Hurricane aid workers because of all the mis/disinformation Trump/Musk and co. are spreading.
BIden should really do more forceful pushback on it. But of course, he won't.

Whois:
Be careful what you wish for

naijaboy756:
Is there disparity now or not?

helinues:
Hardship or no hardship, people are making it. So no excuse

IjeBos:
You say a place where a lot of people who believe a man who says the US election was stolen congregate is filled with scammers scamming those people? No, Really?
There's going to have to be some serious discussion, if Dems win about how to meaningfully regulate social media that doesn't run afoul of the 1st amendment.

helinues:
Your point is only emphasizing on struggling life .

Talk to people around you when everyone is minding their business lately

How much do you want to keep under your mattress or in your house, not even consideration of 9 figures just for stepping stone before getting things started.

Abeg, no dey reason like that oo
