Our roads are designed to make us think we can go faster than we should and localities have an incentive to keep speed limits arbitrarily low to increase fines from speeders.

Why would I bother answering any of your questions after you spent days ignoring mine? Why should I bother building an argument when you never presented a coherent one yourself?

You made a claim you refused to support and ignored analogies for, you shifted the goalpost to something entirely different, and now you claim to want a good faith discussion. You never did. You wanted to make your ridiculous claim about government criticism being somehow racist because you have to find some way to support an authoritarian government you like because the sole party with power is using communist in their name. You don't have a consistent world view and just want to find a way to excuse the unexcusable actions of a tyrannical government you wouldn't hesitate to call out of the were in the west.

You don't have any high grounds in this conversation.

Trying to act like you're suddenly good faith when you've been acting the way you have is probably not the flex you think it is either.

No, it's cuter if you hang up first babe.

No, you hang up first. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I don't really understand your questions and am going to pretend they aren't relevant so...

[–] Whattrees@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (11 children)

I think you should talk to my friend, maybe he could explain my position to you since I can't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I don't understand your questions and don't care to respond to them."

So, no evidence then?

[–] Whattrees@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Without the courts ability to determine if something is unconstitutional then it would always be up to Congress / the executive to decide what is constitutional and what is not. That presents an obvious separation of powers problem and could easily be misused by a Congress or executive branch that are hostile to certain rights.

So then, no evidence that they don't attempt to hide the information or ban people from holding memorial services? You could provide evidence that the government allows memorial services, or you could prove that the specific claims made in the evidence I gave you are incorrect. For example, you could show that access to the relevant wiki pages and Google searches are not blocked in China. None of this is proving a negative or an impossibly high bar to meet.

Your edits do add additional context and information, but they miss the broader point

Forced marriages (sometimes called arranged marriages) are a breach of consent regardless of abuse or trafficking being involved. Having your parents set you up with a date you are free to ignore or choose to engage with is one thing, having them pick who you will marry and when without your consent is another. Regardless of culture, you don't get to violate others consent.
