I think you need to keep in mind that not everyone's religion is the same, so basing laws on it is pretty impractical.
Depends. Part of that Paradox of Government thing I mentioned. Murder is prohibited by a lot of religions. Like I said in the past except you didn’t see it because it was the future then, not a Theocracy or a religion based state.
If I made laws based on Wiccan beliefs, for example, I doubt Dom would be the biggest fan.
True. Freedom of religion is a must. But maybe I only think that Bc it’s part of Christianity Lol.
Well isn't the Wiccan rede do what you will and harm none? Seems pretty American to me, I'm all for that.
Pretty open to interpretation.
Idk, that's really the essence of the law. You have freedom up until the point you harm people.
it's really not, Dom. "An ye harm none, do what ye will."
Essence of Libertarianism anyways. But then you have to define harm and people.
do we seriously have to define harm, dom. is it not self explanatory
In legal matters everything must be defined. But let’s say I say something rude. I hurt you emotionally. That is a type of harm. Should I be prosecuted?
well it shouldn't be ignored that you had said something bad enough to hurt me like that. but to be entirely fair, you kinda sound like an ass. harm in a context like this should be obvious, and if it isn't, that's more a problem on the person who doesn't understand it
Well it might be obvious harm, or not. But I always hedge myself by saying Physical harm. That’s the only one that should be illegal. Too messy otherwise.

Did you not read my answer?
speaking of debates, this presidential one is going a lot better than the last.
That's because they're using a fucking mute button and Trump can't interrupt like a child
I'm watching it right now, and Trump is still interrupting.
He's interrupting the poor woman and Biden.
I haven't seen a lot of interrupting actually. Fuck Trump, but he's doing better– Still speaking over the mediator but I'll acknowledge he's respecting Biden a bit more this time.
Yes, I can agree that he is doing better. At least he's respecting Biden a bit more. It'd be better if he would stop talking over the mediator, though.
For sure. Poor woman. He's also said a few questionable things.
Indeed, he did. I just want Trump to stop interrupting the woman. It's just rude.
When she says, "we're going to move on" he still keeps on talking. Jesus, that man.
I can't even watch. It's just too damn depressing. Except I am taking a class that deals some with politics so I might have to. Are they covering a different set of topics tonight? If so, they probably won't talk about healthcare again.
Actually, they were just talking about healthcare. And now they're talking about immigration. I am now very curious about what both have to say.
Hhhhh now I HAVE to watch it for class
I don't care if you like Trump. He's a dumbass. Especially in debates.
yES JOE MY MAN THAT WAS A GOOD POINT
