    @Doctor-Phibes said in Amendment 2: @Aqua-Letifer said in Amendment 2: @Doctor-Phibes said in Amendment 2: @Aqua-Letifer said in Amendment 2: Everybody counts or nobody counts. My point, which seems to have got missed, is that people who refuse to follow evacuation orders are quite possibly putting emergency services in danger. If a church is told to evacuate, it should do so, just like everybody else. Probably should, yes. How far are you willing to go to force them to do that? I don't know. The idea of forcing people to leave at gunpoint makes me very uncomfortable. However, the thought that somebody would use a law as a justification for not acting in their constituents best interests also makes me uncomfortable. And the thought of people refusing to leave, and then expecting other people to risk their lives as a result is also quite difficult. That's about where I'm at, too. I mean, yeah, they should probably leave in a situation like that, but I dunno if it'd be in their best interest to be forced to do so. As for putting rescue teams in harm's way, it's a drop in the bucket. Their entire career is based on saving people from themselves and their ignorant decisions.

    But...We need no laws on credit card interest or fees, right? Greed is good.

    @taiwan_girl said in Who's paying Hunter's lawyers?: He asked Sen. Menendez to borrow some money for lawyers. Sen. Menendez had to withdraw monies to help him. Nah. I doubt Hunter's lawyers accept payment in gold bars.

    @Renauda said in Carlson: "I can't interview Putin.": Watching Tucker Carlson softball Putin in return for what he wants to hear... This. I dont think that Mr. Carlson is a very good interviewer. He is a good commentator that says things his base wants to hear, but not a really good interviewer.

    @George-K said in Secret Flights: @Doctor-Phibes said in Secret Flights: Apparently they weren't exactly keeping it secret... No, not "secret." Just obscure. Had you heard of this before I posted it? Probably not. Did that link explain where this 1/5 of a million people went? Nope. It's pretty weird, I must admit. Well, the numbers surprised me, at least. The actual policy is probably well-intentioned. Immigration is messed up, and I haven't heard anybody come up with a genuine solution. There's an awful lot of theatre and moralising from both sides, but very little in the way of actual improvement.
