Detroit?

Why root out? Feed the lat/long to a drone.
That bureaucrat will totally bury the target in regulations.

Prayers that it comes out for the best for you, brother.

You can do whatever you want, so long as you're contributing to the campaigns of the powerful.
Call it the "Aristocracy of Pull" Tax.

Friended. I hadn't been doing much with that since I hit a limit a few years ago, around 400.
Then I got on Twitter, and it was all over.

God seems slightly prejudiced against sin.

I thought "all cultures were deserving of respect" (except of course, Western).

If you think the individual and the state are fungible, then

could make sense.
However, if I knocked up a woman and then was an accomplice to the murder of that life, would my culpability be the same as a judge or jury carrying out the duties of their office?
It's either a total dodge, or an important distinction, depending upon your viewpoint.
For the record, I'm not a huge capital punishment fan, unless you've got a Timothy McVeigh sort of case, i.e. completely unambiguous. And even then, you can't lose sight of the fact it sucks. Like abortion. And for the same reason.

You're the one who removed it.

The argument went on for about half an hour in EE lab, before the teacher came along and announced: "Yes."

What's the opposite of artificial intelligence? "Natural ignorance."

Look: all you have to do is begin with Ultimate Truth, and develop a theory by which this makes sense, and I'll cheerfully sign on.
You keep wanting me to be unreasonable, but that's just not how I roll.

You'll have to talk to the gay people in my family, and with whom I work, to understand that I'm not against them, as humans.
You'll also have to apply some kind of traditional (pre-Commie) liberal notion of holding more than one thought in your head simultaneously to grasp that I am in favor of that which is good, positive, without blemish, and fruitful.
It's the kind of stance that affirms 2+2=4, and has loving patience with those who, prior to reaching full, mature human bloom, just have trouble, you know, getting it.
Sure, alternative formulations to 2+2=4 exist. Some may find transient gratification from, for example, 2+2=5. I grasp the possibility that such could feel good. Some people groove on sticking themselves with heroin-laden needles, too.
Yes, indeed, free will affords both the opportunity to say 2+2=4 and 2+2!=4. Otherwise, it's not liberty.
Furthermore, those claiming 2+2!=4 will also level accusations of bigotry against those who just can't overcome the sheer common sense of 2+2=4. For those H8ers, we must say an extra prayer. I love you.

What would be my motive? We all have the same 23 chromosome pairs, do we not?
Even a hyper-materialist, anti-intellectual nitwit has to concede the bare biochemical fact.
Holding before yourself this ultimate, irrefutable truth, discrimination boils down to farce.
But go ahead; argue some diabolical farce somewhere up the protocol stack. It really makes you look cool.
(No, it doesn't.)
