They didn't say they were an old timer. They just used it to establish that they weren't some junior dev whose been using it for all of 4 months but now has opinions we should definitely all listen to. 10 years may not be an old-t

If nothing else, there needs to be a clear concession plan ASAP. One refrain I kept reading when he came back to the FSF was that we needed him back because no one else could lead this movement. Really? No one? In 36 years since the FSF was

> Who said consentual sex causes any harm? I'm arguing the opposite. The comment I'm replying to is. They are arguing that prostitution is somehow harmful to them and should be banned. I'll note the analogy of a poster on

The harm in your example is that by putting up these posters of naked women being valued only for their body, you send the message that that is how women are seen here. A woman is likely to feel she is at risk of being objectified the same

If someone out there is actively advocating to be able to have sex with a prostitute next to you in a restraunt then I see your point. Otherwise prostitution is already not part of public life.

And yet the first amendment guarantees freedom of religion and none of these 13 colonies banned prostitution, so it seems your assumption is incorrect.

Tobacco is tolerated, not celebrated. There is a large gap between someone's vices being no one's business and actively celebrating them.

Your religion is not my religion. The law should not prevent me from doing things just because you think it'll send me to hell, anymore than the law should force you to practice my religion. If you don't believe in freedom of reli

Is there a reason we don't trust the teachers to make that call? I imagine there are a near infinite number of books that have "no classroom merit", do we need to spell them all out? It's also hard to square "it jus

I'm confused by both your assertion Firefox is dead and that they tried to rip off Chrome. Can you clarify? I'm using Firefox specifically for a number of features chrome does not have.

This is my dream as well. About 10 years (god has it been that long?) ago I took an informal poll of my small office and was shocked at how many of them had this specific dream. Not just some school anxiety dream. That specific dream where

It'd also not be unreasonable to look at many of the people imprisoned for the US's "war on drugs" that way. Many of those laws were written targeting "undesirable" voters.

I'm not aware of anyone claiming there was _no_ fraud. That would be silly. In a country with over 300 million people we can't possibly know that _no one_ successfully committed some form of fraud. Especially given the fact that w

The content I choose to allow on my platform is an inherent part of my free speech. The government forcing me to carry content I don't want to on my platform is a violation of my free speech. There is no getting around that.
