I have found foster care to be very rewarding, in a difficult kind of way. My wife and haven't been able to have our own kids yet, but bringing in these other kids it is great to see them grow and be happy.

Yet there is a lot that seems not so great about religion and very human in the evil done in its name. I find it hard to devote myself to a 'god' if the teachings could well be made up by a person and just be used to control peop

Yeah, that is a really broad definition. That results in everything becoming everything. For example, everything has some kind of economic impact, so everything becomes economics. Or, everything can have some affect on the arts, so every

traditionally these events are considered archetypes as well as historical realities, just as jesus is supposedly prefigured in various ways in the old testament so these could be said to be prefigurations of the end time pattern, as in sat

how does killing micah protect the dead cops? i dont understand what your argument is here. it seems we agree the cops should protect themselves at these events. what am i missing?

by yters 6y ago
as a cop, regardless of whether these people get kicked out, the movement clearly draws them, and the protests are not organized, so there is no good guarantee the protest will not turn lethal these cops are fellow citizens and many are als

it seems you concede my point

What's wrong with the argument? At any rate it is all besides the point. The only feasible usecase for this signal face blurring is coordinating illegal activity. Any other use doesn't make sense for the reasons I've given

if you have clear proof the police do this, you have a lucrative lawsuit on your hands :)

I doubt it. You seriously think police will go out of their way to look through these photos and arrest peaceful protesters? On the other hand, in China, just for having Signal or the like on your phone is enough to earn a stay in their co

"over here is not perfect" is not equivalent to "over here is not safe" :) i just think we need to look at what we got compared to most places and times, and not be too quick to throw out the baby with the bathwater

that is precisely the sort of group i was protesting with, hence why i was attacked, and i had no need to hide my face because we were not doing anything illegal and the US is not nazi germany or the ccp. if it were, face blur filters would

Why would peaceful demonstrators need to hide their identity? I have been to numerous peaceful protests in the US, even been attacked by observers, and have never had to hide my identity. Additionally, in a large crowd where most will not h

What makes you thinks that? When I think non free, I think of the CCP prohibiting peaceful rememberance of Tianamen square.

yes, i am not saying police are justified but it isn't clear at least from the video, police are going out of their way to shut down the press, as in they have a press vendetta or want to censor which is the impression i got was going

Yes, journalists would be considered to be one of the demonstrators by both parties. They are not geared out like the riot police, so do not look similar.
538.
by yters 6y ago
At least from the video, the press is walking into zones of active conflict between protestors and police with lots of noise and police in full riot gear. Personally, it is not super suprising to me the press gets caught in the cross fire.

A lot of the areas the author says police are now dealing with used to be dealt with by religious organizations. Perhaps religious organizations should be encouraged to play a bigger role in the public sphere. To make a tired argument, wit

Yes, #3 is the key point, that there are exceptions to the flamewar constraint if there is some new, interesting information for a current major topic..
