I knew this kind of objection was coming. It was very predictable. Your objection to the massive infringement of basic human rights is morally and ethically completely and absolutely correct in every single possible way.

It's also, for the moment and strictly for the purposes of this particular conversation at hand, irrelevant.

Though I understand if some might choose to believe otherwise for political reasons. The discussion at hand is about overarching legal systems, their general reliability, and how much bearing laws have on what actually happens.

Similarly, one could probably point at some by-the-book handling of a parking ticket in China as proof that it is a nation with rule of law. It would be similarly possessed of opportunity to come into greater alignment with relevance.




I knew someone was going to say I was off topic, what a coincicence.

If human rights are not relevant to the article and thread, then the article and thread are for robots and someone should clearly post that.

If the article does not discuss rights, which to me appear to have completely disappeared and any semblence of them we only have is due to a lot of this generation of TLA officeres not being total monsters

Now we just have to hope Kushner doesn't use his global admin rights to do anything mean. /s

That is the state of the internet, this silent well-born manchild who has chummed with madmen since he was a child has clearance and hooks into everything the nsa scoops up, which is nearly the entire internet, and the entire pollyanna internet.

Is that in TFA?

Then why are they writing about 1995?
