I’m not anti-cop; job’s a job though and there’s a right and wrong way to do a job; their feelings shouldn’t matter as much as they do; most jobs don’t have the luxury “how i feel” determining duty performance

I just want people taken care of. I find the political squabbling boring. Too much money lands in the wrong hands and we’re indoctrinated to defend big company wealth hoarding against poor people over and over again. Republicans do it. Democrats do it. QAnon people do it. Anarchists do it. Libertarians do it. Liberals do it. Conservatives do it. Socialists do it. Everybody seems to do it from time to time. Get one scrap more than the neighbor and “hey I deserve that scrap, unlike MY NEIGHBOR over there who really isn’t part of our community anyway so really isn’t my neighbor”. I’m sure you’re right and I’m talking out my ass. I”m an alien on this planet. It’s for you, not me. Humans never made much sense.

The moment a doctor is going to do an abortion, SOMEBODY will get them fined and sue and it’ll be tied up in court while she’s pregnant. and MAYBE the court will agree with what you quoted in the article.

… [read full article]Gamaliel’s Principle Looking in to Pluralism of various sorts, I’ve come across Gamaliel’s Principle, a Christian notion sometimes forgotten which comes from the story of a man named Gamaliel detailed in the Christian Bible in Acts of the Apostles, who saved the lives of the fledgling Christians, while not being one himself, by putting forth a kind of Pascal’s Wager; what’s true is true and we might not know what’s true just yet, but do you want to do what’s wrong in case you’re wrong when you can instead do what’s right? It has applications in mathematics, in particularly biases surrounding light cones; we tend to not look outside of our light cone which can lead to problems, and what to do to prevent that problem. What’s right in both cases is allowing for wider coverage, particularly outside of what you can see. This has been a successful argument supporting religious pluralism from a Christian point of view; ecumenism and if not universal salvation, at least a wider salvation than “agree with my pastor”.
