    Oh, I absolutely agree. I was scrolling through Twitter that day and it popped up, and though I don't agree at all with censorship, I do think things like that should be taken down. I don't agree with it being out there. Just find it...funny isn't the right word, but that he had a discussion on what age should kids be to watch a public execution

    He was on the side of the billionaire tech Bros who want us all divided. He was funded by them.

    This goes hand in hand with organized religion. These people were made for each other.

    I'm not trying to say that I'm on par with someone who has fought in a war (etc), but as a long time user of the interwebz, I've seen things online that would make your skin crawl.

    Just so we're clear, nothing with kids. Just random old videos of soldiers from the eastern bloc doing heinous things to prisoners of war, many of the beheadings during the aftermath of 2001 (seeing the old lady getting be-headed was pretty much the final straw for me, in as much as nothing phases me).

    Usually seeing these kinds of videos is traumatic. For some, their reaction is just become cold and not get phased...for others, it makes them into really dark and soulless people. There's a word for it, but Im brain farting (I know it has "izing" in it...I keep thinking rationalize, but that's not it)...like when you watch something and it makes you go crazy, and it changes you. Infantalize? no...

    Well, whatever, I think there are 2 different ways to take seeing videos like this. On the one hand, it might make it so if you see it in person you're calmer and don't freak out, but it also might make your a darker person.

    I owe @Everything Beagle an apology. When she quoted Utah governor saying he hoped it was right people killing Kirk, I wondered if that quote was accurate. Because governor had spoken cautiously and respectfully before. Like he was trying to keep people calm.

    Turns out quote was accurate.

    I agree with most of this.
    I could be wrong, but i don't think the constitution gives the same rights to minors as it does adults?

    "Maple Street, U.S.A., late summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, barbecues, the laughter of children, and the bell of an ice cream vendor. At the sound of the roar and the flash of light, it will be precisely 6:43 P.M. on Maple Street."


    "This is Maple Street on a late Saturday afternoon. Maple Street in the last calm and reflective moment – before the monsters came."

    "The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices ... to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own ... for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, that these things cannot be confined only to The Twilight Zone."

    The Constitution protects every person within US jurisdiction, unless specifically excluded (it basically excludes prisoners).
