It's threads like these that remind me HN is not a different collection of voices. It's the same mix of A-holes with a higher average net worths and grander visions of themselves.

- aaron695 10y agoNo, they don't. You can't just arbitrarily say huge chunks of planet are off limits because the people who fell out of a vagina there say so. You can enforce it with guns and an ongoing culture as we see with the current state of things, but that doesn't make it moral.
