So, again, on this issue you disagree with many very thoughtful, compassionate people, including most famously democratic governments who have lived through actual totalitarian dictatorship.
(Many of the less thoughtful and compassionate of these would look at American standards of public assistance, education, and criminal justice, hear you talk about "our moral and scientific growth as a species", and laugh in your face.)
Consider that they may be right and you may be wrong.
- ActVen 14y agoI'm not sure how you made my comment about growth as a species equate to "American Standards". Also, its very "closed-minded" of you to believe that the actions of a country exactly mirrors the values of each of its citizens. Oh well, I wish you the best.

- Cushman 14y ago> The disagreement and dialogue in this conversation has been brought to you by Free Expression. Much to the contrary-- try having a conversation like this on a "free" forum like 4chan and see how far you get. This kind of respectful dialogue is brought to us by pervasive peer moderation and social opprobrium, with a dash of outright censorship to taste.
