I come from Norway - by many assumed to be among the most human and decent countries in the world.
When a refugee storm hit Norwegian borders a few years ago, the cabinet assigned Antichrist herself, Sylvi Listhaug, to deal with it. It would not surprise me if Trump's advisers had her misdeeds (and results) in mind when they designed their current policy.
That's Norway - the country who hands out the Nobel Peace Price.
Do yo know how Norway gets rid of it's aging population? They thirst them to death. No assisted death option like in the Netherlands. Just unimaginable pain and fear at the and of life.
In Norway today, a man is serving life in prison for murdering and raping a 8 year old girl. He is innocent. Everybody knows he is innocent. But the Justice system is incapable of admitting mistakes - so he remains in jail.
I don't want to make software for governments. Because, even those who hand out Peace Prices and pretend to be soo accepting and liberal - even those commit unimaginable evil every single day of the year.
- kristiandupont 8y agoI don't know anything about Sylvi Listhaug, assisted death in Norway or the man allegedly falsely accused. You might be right about all of it but it still comes across as a ridiculous combination of strawman arguments and conflating the entire public sector and all laws into suspicious "government". Basically it boils down to "because it's not perfect, it's evil". Would you rather there was no government?
- Certhas 8y agoIt's quite a leap from: "Any government will do things that I consider evil" to "Governments [...] are by nature evil." Especially as context suggests you don't mean this to read "Governments are by nature capable of both evil and good." [1] The former is almost trivially true, at least in the narrow reading supported by your examples, mostly a function of their size. The latter a vast sweeping philosophical generalization that is backed up by nothing. All your examples show is that there are instances of them failing to live up to your ethical standards (which it seems I largely share). Would you rather have no laws than imperfect laws? No justice than imperfect justice? [1] That would make it a non-sequitur that you would single out governments but are OK with individuals and corporations using your software.
- aaron695 8y agoI assume this is murder story - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baneheia_murders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baneheia_murders No idea on the - "Do yo know how Norway gets rid of it's aging population? They thirst them to death." I assume - Patients Have to Refuse Food and Fluids to Hasten Death when Terminally ill - is the only option?
