intent to piss off is not intent to harm. you are not being harmed by being pissed off. it is not harmful. in a civilized society, claiming harm from a book burning is called being a little piss baby. they should grow up

Your last point is wrong and I don't think you should assume those are my views. Behavior in concentration camps should obviously be policed, because it's significant and not recreatable and should therefore be preserved as a place for the people it is significant to. A privately owned printed book is not, so you should be able to attempt to piss other people off by burning it, if that is your perogative. If we're getting specific, I don't think you should be allowed to start a fire anywhere near buildings you don't own, unless it's to light a cigarette or w\e

Other than that, I agree you should find a civilized way to express your beliefs, but we shouldn't, for good reasons, police the way people express themselves. A law like this sets a precedent for religious organizations; that they can have their way if they (re)act violently. It will lead to more violence down the road so we need a better solution.

If i went into the street and condemned people for whatever choices they make, without harassing them, that would be legal. You're not harming anyone by burning a book and you wouldn't hurt anyone either by just pissing them off. The problem is a very vocal part of the world have been brainwashed to incite violence when this specific area of their feelings get hurt.

It's only made a gray area because you can't tell them that they can in fact just learn to ignore it and practice their religion in peace and expect it to work. Their beliefs are not built upon letting others express their views freely if they react with violence when someone burns their printed holy word. Their actions would be justified if there was only one copy or a building was burnt down, but it's a worthless material thing, and the disrespect it signifies will not go away just because you disallow people to express it.

Sorry, long rant to say I actually agree that this law goes too far.

yes, and then a counter-misinformation war based on words and phrases that include "Its all AI generated", "its not real", "youre stupid for believing this" will take place and what we end up with is a generation that doesnt believe tiananmen square happened, or at best is skeptical of it. rinse and repeat for more dark spots in history and you've essentially hidden any lesson your prime-for-the-raping common populace has ever learned under a rug of misinformation

goddamn. how close was it?

i agree, but how would we produce that many electric cars in a green way fast and with what money? focus on developing public transit and cities designed around bike lanes and local industry with a heavy emission tax to pay for it would be a better idea imo

exercises that target weight loss in specific areas dont exist. your body has a genetic predisposition in regards to where it allocates fat. eat a bit healthier, eat a bit less, exercise regularly and your body will do its best with what you give it, every day

if their job offers it, but desepration and exploitation mean they dont always have to to hire people

almost positively certain this guy hoped for 12003

how do you expect people to apply those standards to themselves before they are applied to the biggest sinners? most people don't even buy how bad it is

the thing is, i will refuse to behave until the bigger misbehavers are held accountable

i dont feel like this was low effort. quality meme, thanks, fuck you
