Things are very heated right now certainly. But there are still a lot of people (a LOT) of people who just want to live their lives and are not going to literally wage war on people in their own country.
It's not a zero percent chance but it's near zero.
I certainly hope so, but one side (which I won't name because I think it's obvious enough) doesn't seem content with just living their lives, they want to force themselves on the lives of others as well so that the whole country will be just as shitty as they are and then they won't have to feel so bad about it.
Most americans think the "sides" are red vs blue, which is absolutely 100% wrong in all ways. So as long as that belief holds true a civil war is impossible.
What is it with you lot with your obsession and fixation on rights? Why do you want the government to dictate your thoughts and actions so much?
Why do you want the government to dictate your thoughts and actions so much?
I want the government to protect me from the dumb fucks that actually do want the government to dictate how I should live my life. It's the pieces of human garbage that want to tell men they can't marry another man, that tell women they don't have autonomy over their own body, that want to stop the teaching of the theory of evolution and include prayer in school, that want to dictate others' lives.
Those calling for more rights aren't asking for the government to dictate anyone's lives. They're literally doing the opposite of that.
Enforcing policy is dictating lives though, how about just use a different name for marriage and do a different ritual? Unless that's only if you actually only care for inheritance laws.
It's not an infringement of your rights to stop you from beating/killing people you don't like. It's not an infringement of your rights to allow others to do things you don't want to do yourself. Nobody owns the "ritual" of marriage, and it's not an infringement of anyone's rights for another belief system of any kind (theist or not) to duplicate it.
How about people just treat each better than forcing it on people by the state.
They don't though, otherwise there would be no need for a justice system altogether. There are "people" out there that have wet dreams of lgbt people being incriminated and women having less rights than men, the rest of society should be protected from them instead of putting them in government positions.
We tried that, several times, each time the south did something stupid like dredd Scott or Jim crow or the kkk.
The only way to stop them from trying to keep brown people as pets was to send soldiers, they don't understand any other language.
It's sad you think like that
That's what laws seek to do because people clearly don't do it on their own, dumbass. Be good to others, or face punishment. It's not fucking rocket science here.
No it's not but you should be genuinely good and not down the barrel of a gun with coercion or threats.
I'm going to guess you're Christian. I'm also going to guess you don't see one bit of irony with your statement.
No I'm an atheist, if you need religion or a belief system to be a good person then you must be a terrible person.
2010 called. They want their dumb, regressive talking points back
I'd prefer a rational discussion rather than emotional irrationality
It doesn't sound like you're being rational. It sounds more like you're being facetious when you say things like "enforcing policy is dictating lives." By this we can imply that you believe murder is a right. Theft is a right. Rape is a right. That because there is a punishment for these acts, your life is being dictated by others.
No I don't, you shouldn't jump to assumptions
Well then how do you propose to stop these things from being reality if you are not for the enforcement of policy?
Don't antagoniste, cause harm or do violence to others.
You may not be as rational or smart as you think you are.
Never claimed to be
No, it'll be based on economic class and other factors, you can see how less developed the US is on the western part from space.
